First  Prize,  $50.00;  Second  Prize,  $25.00;  Third  Prize,  $15.00;  Fourth  Prize,  $10.00 


THERE  are  hundred.s  of  good  amateur 
photographers  in  the  Kodak  organ- 
ization, but  a  good  many  of  them  have 
been  "hiding  their  lights  under  a  bushel," 
so  to  speak.  So  in  order  to  scare  them 
out  into  the  open,  and  to  show  the  rest 
of  you  how  much  pleasure  there  is  in 
Kodakery,  we  propose  to  hold  a  Quarterly 
Amateur  Photographic  Competition,  open 
to  all  employees  of  the  Eastman  Kodak 
Company  (except  as  hereafter  specified). 

TERMS    AND    COXDITIOXS 

The  First  Quarterly  Competition  will 
begin  July  1st  and  close  September  30, 
1920. 

Subjects — Landscapes  and  Marines; 
Vacation  "good  time"  pictures;  Hunting 
and  Fishing  Scenes. 

AWARDS $100.00    (ASH 

First  prize $50.00 

Second  prize !25 .  00 

Third  prize 15 .  00

COXDITIOXS 

These  com])etitions  will  be  open  to  all 
employees  of  the  Eastman  Kodak 
Company,  except  demonstrators,  those 
who  have  been  professional  piiotog- 
raphers,  and  those,  the  nature  of  whose 
employment  with  the  company  would 
class  them  as  professional  photographers. 

The  exposures  must  be  the  work  of  the 
contestant,  but  the  developing  and 
printing  can  be  done  by  someone  else. 


The  negatives  of  the  prize  winning  prints 
shall  become  the  property  of  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company,  and  the  negatives 
delivered  to  the  Editor  of  the  Kodak 
Magazine  before  the  awards  are  paid. 
Prints  from  such  negatives  will  be  used 
in  the  Kodak  ^Magazine,  for  advertising 
or  sample  print  purposes,  or  for  any 
other  purpose  the  company  may  elect. 
All  prints  must  be  mounted  but  not 
framed. 

The  name  and  address  of  the  contestant 
and  the  designation  of  the  camera  used 
must  be  legibly  written  on  the  back  of 
each  print.  Contestants  who  are  awarded 
prizes  for  photographs  which  include  a 
jjerson  or  persons  must  furnish  to  us 
the  written  consent  of  the  subject  or 
subjects  (in  case  of  a  minor,  the  written 
consent  of  a  parent  or  guardian)  to  the 
use  of  the  picture  in  such  manner  as  we 
may  .see  fit. 

Blanks  for  this  purpose  will  be  supplied 
by  the  Editor  upon  request. 

Contestants  may  enter  any  number  of 
prints  (but  no  contestant  will  be  awarded 
more  than  one  prize)  and  .^end  them  in 
at  different  times,  up  to  the  closing 
date  of  each  competition.  Prints  sub- 
mitted will  not  be  returned  unless  spe- 
cially recpiested.

A  WONDERFUL  BIT  OF  GLASS 


WITH  the  great  variety  of  products 
we  manufacture,  there  are  many  in- 
teresting stories  regarding  their  produc- 
tion, and  the  uses  to  which  they  are  put. 
We  become  so  accustomed  to  the  finished 
product  that  it,  to  us,  often  seems  com- 
monplace, and  we  give  little  or  no  thought 


skill  is  required  in  the  proper  melting  and 
cooling  before  it  comes  in  the  rough  to 
our  skilled  lens  makers.  The  exact  shape 
and  curve  of  each  different  type  of  lens 
must  be  carefully  calculated  by  an  expert 
optical  mathematician,  and  his  formulas 
followed  to  the  one  ten  thousandth  part

PRESSED  DISCS  FOR  MAKING  LENSES 


to  the  science  and  skill  that  have  made  it 
possible.  For  this  reason  many  of  us  give 
no  particular  thought  to  the  bit  of  shining 
glass  in  the  front  of  a  Kodak;  we  know 
that  it  is  called  a  lens  and  that  it  is  what 
produces  the  picture  image  and  let  it  go 
at  that. 

A  trip  through  our  lens  factory  in  the 
Hawk-Eye  Works,  would  find  you  leaving 
with  a  tremendous  respect  for  that  same 
bit  of  glass,  and  contented  with  a  highly 
interesting  experience. 

There  is  nothing  haphazard  about  the 
production  of  even  the  lenses  employed  in 
our  least  expensive  cameras. 

The  various  ingredients  for  the  glass 
must  be  most  carefully  selected,  and  much 


of  an  inch  in  order  to. pass  our  inspectors. 
Now  this  is  not  going  to  be  a  technical, 
nor  a  scientific  story  about  how  our  lenses 
are  produced,  but  just  a  plain  statement 
of  a  few  interesting  facts.  When  you 
look  through  our  catalogues,  you  note 
that  the  Kodak,  Premo  and  Brownie 
Cameras  are  listed  with  several  different 
kinds  of  lenses,  the  smaller  cameras  being- 
fitted  with  what  are  called  either  Men- 
iscus, Meniscus  Achromatic,  Rapid  Recti- 
linear, or  Anastigmat  lenses.  The  larger 
instruments  have  either  Rapid  Rectilinear 
or  Anastigmat  lenses,  while  the  Special 
Kodaks,  the  Graflex  and  Aeroplane 
Cameras  are  fitted  only  with  Anastigmat 
lenses.     Quite  possibly  these  names  will 


SLABS  OF  OPTICAL  GLASS 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


POLISHING  LENSES 


not  mean  anything  to  you,  so  let  us  have 
a  simple  explanation.  The  simplest  lenses 
which  can  be  used  for  photographic  pur- 
poses are  made  from  a  single  piece  of  glass, 
the  form  being  a  crescent  shape,  which 
affords  the  best  definition — hence  the 
name   "Meniscus." 

A  Meniscus  lens  can  be  readily  used 
only  in  a  fixed  focus  camera  where  the 
maker  of  the  camera  has  put  it  in  the 
correct  position  for  forming  a  sharp  image 
on  the  film.  If  such  a  lens  were  used  on  a 
focusingcamera.no  matter  how  carefully 


you  focused  the  image,  your  negatives 
would  not  be  sharp  unless  the  difference 
between  the  focusing  point  of  the  rays 
which  we  see  produce  the  image,  and  the 
other  rays  of  light  which  affect  the  film 
was  provided  for. 

Just  a  muddle  of  words?  All  right, 
let's  make  this  a  bit  clearer:  Do  you  hap- 
pen to  remember  one  of  those  old- 
fashioned  lamps  with  a  shade  of  prisms — 
you  know  those  three-sided  strips  of  glass, 
and  when  the  light  shone  through  one  of 
these,  you  would  see  a  lot  of  different 
colors  just  like  a  rainbow? 


LENS  GRINDING  ROOM 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


TESTING  SURFACE  ACCURACY 

Now  white  light — daylight,  is  composed 
of  rays  of  light  of  these  different  colors: 
violet,  blue,  green,  yellow,  orange  and  red, 
just  as  you  saw  them  through  the  prism. 
After  passing  through  a  Meniscus  lens, 
these  rays  of  light  do  not  come  to  a  focus 
at  the  same  point;  the  yellow  rays  which 
our  eyes  see  produce  the  image,  do  UDt 
come  to  a  focus  at  the  same  point  as  the 


blue  rays,  which  are  the  ones  whicli 
affect  the  sensitive  film. 

It  was  discovered  a  good  many  years 
ago  that  by  combining  two  different  kinds 
of  glass  in  a  lens,  the  blue  and  yellow  rays 
could  be  made  to  come  to  a  focus  at  the 
same  point.  Such  lenses  are  called 
"Achromatic."  The  best  shape  for  an 
Achromatic  lens  is  the  crescent,  or  ^lenis- 
cus,  so  such  lenses  are  called  "Meniscus 
Achromatic."  Owing  to  their  form,  these 
lenses  produce  a  slight  curvature  of  the 
edges  of  the  picture.  This  doesn't  cut  any 
figure  in  landscape  pictures  or  portraits, 
but  when  the  picture  has  straight  lines 
near  the  margin,  these  lines  would  appear 
slightly  curved. 

To  get  around  this  the  lens  maker  puts 
two  Achromatic  lenses  together  with  the 
stop,  or  diaphragm,  between  them,  so 
the  curve  produced  by  one  lens  is  offset  by 
the  other;  such  a  lens  is  called  a  Rapid 
Rectilinear,  because  it  gives  straight  line 
images,  and  "Rapid"  because,  having  a 
focal  length  half  that  of  the  two  single 
lenses,  and  with  the  same  stop  it  passes 
four  times  as  much  light,  and  recjuires 
only  one-quarter  of  the  exposure. 


GETTING  READY  FOR  FIRST  GRINDING 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


As  to  Anastigmat  lenses — the  aristo- 
crats of  the  lens  world;  about  thirty 
years  ago  it  became  possible  to  produce 
optical  glass  from  which  lenses  could  be 
made  that  would  give  flat  field  images 
with  the  blue  and  yellow  rays  at  the  same 
focus.  Anastigmat  lenses  have  better  de- 
fining power,  but  demand  the  most  careful 
and  highly  skilled  workmanship,  just  such 
as  we  have  in  the  Hawk-Eye  plant. 

Let  us  follow  the  progress  of  a  piece  of 
optical  glass  through  the  Hawk-Eye 
plant.  The  glass  comes  in  slabs  about 
an  inch  thick,  eight  inches  long  and  eight 
inches  wide,  which  are  first  cut  into  thin 
squares  by  means  of  diamond-tipped 
rotary  saws  and  then  ground  into  rough 
discs.  These  discs  are  now  attached  by 
means  of  black  pitch  to  what  is  called  a 
blocking  body  for  the  first,  or  rough  grind- 
ing. After  the  rough  grinding,  each  lens 
is  examined  for  chips  or  other  defects. 

Each  flat  backed  lens  is  then  reduced  to 
the  proper  thickness  with  a  milling 
machine,  and  then  subjected  to  three 
other  grinding  operations  with  difl'erent 
grades  of  emery. 


In  the  fine  grinding,  the  greatest  care 
is  taken  to  bring  the  lens  down  to  exact 
dimensions,  the  accuracy  being  deter- 
mined to  within  two  or  three  hundredths 
of  a  millimeter,  a  millimeter  being  only 
about  four  thousandths  of  an  inch. 

After  grinding,  the  lenses  are  taken  to 
a  polishing  machine  where  they  are 
polished  with  rouge  in  a  special  machine. 
During  the  polishing  process  the  lenses 
are  frequently  examined  with  a  magnify- 
ing glass  to  make  sure  they  are  retaining 
their  proper  form.  Other  tests  for  accu- 
racy are  observed  so  that  accuracy  greater 
than  one  fifty-thousandth  of  an  inch  is 
often  attained. 

After  the  lenses  are  removed  from  the 
blocking  body  and  placed  in  racks,  a  very 
thorough  examination  is  made  to  detect 
any  further  imperfections,  such  as 
scratches,  uneven  polishing  and  the  like. 

Passing  all  these  inspections,  each  lens 
is  now  placed  in  a  special  lathe,  where 
after  it  has  been  centered,  its  edge  is 
carefully  ground.  A  very  accurate  gauge 
is  used  to  determine  the  diameter,  the 
accuracv  of  which  is  also  well  within  two

or  three  hundredths  of  a  miUimeter. 

After  final  inspection,  the  complete 
lenses  are  carefully  wrapped  in  tissue 
paper  and  stored  in  the  stock  vaults  until 
needed  for  mounting. 

The  metal  mounts  must  also  be  made 
with  the  greatest  accuracy,  as  the  distance 
between  the  lenses  that  comprise  the  com- 
plete lens  is  scarcely  of  less  importance 


than  the  curves  of  the  lenses  themselves. 

At  every  step  in  the  process  of  lens 
making  in  the  Hawk-Eye  Works,  accuracy 
is  the  watchword  that  has  made  possible 
the  high  reputation  of  the  Kodak  Anastig- 
mat  lenses. 

The  wonderful  work  of  the  Hawk-Eye 
Aerial  lenses  is  a  story  in  itself  and  will  be 
told  in  a  following  issue.

OUR  CiEXERAL  SAFETY  SUPERVISOR 


CHARLES  H.  THOMPSON 

General  Safety  Supervisor 


TEX  years  ago,  the  Camera  Works 
engaged  a  man  aa'Iio  has  proved  that 
it  is  indeed  possible  to  "rise  from  the 
ranks"!  Charles  Thompson  worked  in 
the  Kodak  Assembling  Department  until 
his  genius  for  safety  efficiency  was  dis- 
covered, and  we  are  proud  to  state  that 
Mr.  Thompson  has  returned  to  the  com- 
pany in  the  capacity  of  General  Safety 
Supervisor,  having  jurisdiction  over  the 
Safety  Departments  in  the  various 
branches  of  the  company  throughout 
the  organization. 

In  order  to  get  better  acquainted  with 
our  new  Safety  Chief,  a  brief  history  of 
his  career  is  appended. 

Charles  H.  Thompson  was  born  in  Oril- 
lia,  Canada,  in  1876,  and  became  an 
American  citizen  in  1918.  He  was  edu- 
cated at  the  New  Market  Collegiate 
Institute  and  joined  the  Canadian 
Army  in  ISQ'^,  later  being  tran.sf erred  to 
England.  During  those  18  years  of 
military  life  he  was  promoted  from  a 
private  to  a  Major,  being  instructor  in 
the  Royal  School  of  Infantry,  Toronto, 
and  later  in  the  Officers'  Training  School 
in  Sandhurst,  England.  Major  Thomp- 
son served  with  the  British  forces  in  the 
South  African  War  from  1889  to  1901. 
being  engaged  in  twenty-seven  battles,  in 
one  of  which  he  was  severely  wounded. 


He  was  at  one  time  commander  of  a  war 
prison  camp  at  St.  Helena. 

When  the  European  war  affected 
America's  policies,  the  Government  re- 
cfuested  the  release  of  Mr.  Thompson  from 
the  company,  and  appointed  him  a 
Safety  Engineer  in  the  ordnance  depart- 
ment. After  six  months  duty  he  re- 
quested a  transfer  to  the  Infantry  and 
commanded  the  13th  Company  of  154th 
Depot  Brigade  at  Camp  Mead. 

In  1919  the  Fire  and  Accident  preven- 
tion branch  of  the  U.  S.  Army  assigned 
Mr.  Thompson  to  take  charge  of  activi- 
ties in  New  York,  New  England  and  New 
Jersey,  where  he  was  apjjointed  Chief  of 
the  Section. 

Last  month  ]Mr.  Thompson  obtained 
his  honorable  discharge  from  the  service 
in  order  to  continue  his  career  as  indus- 
trial safety  engineer,  having  twice  risen 
to  Major  in  the  U.  S.  and  British  Armies. 

All  of  which  proves  that  Mr.  Thompson 
is  a  fighter,  both  militarily  and  industri- 
ally. The  Eastman  Kodak  Company  has 
added  to  its  reputation  the  fact  of  its 
pioneer  work  along  accident  prevention 
lines,  and  Chief  Thompson  does  not 
intend  to  let  that  reputation  lessen.  It 
is  his  desire  to  get  the  co-ojieration  from 
all  the  plants,  and  so  co-ordinate  what  is 
best  in  safety,  for  safety's  sake.  There  are 
great  possibilities  in  prevention  work  in 
the  Kodak  Company,  and  the  ^[anagers 
are  doing  all  j)ossible  to  educate  employees 
into  thinking  before  an  accident  can  occur. 
Safety  Supervisor  Thompson  is  planning  a 
regular  accident  j)revention  conven- 
tion among  the  committees  from  the 
Eastman  plants  and  great  benefit  should 
be  derived  from  an  exchange  of  safety 
ideas,  together  with  the  expert  advice 
which  we  will  receive  from  our  new 
General  Safety  Sui)ervisor. 


Don't  quit  too  soon.  It  takes  a  great 
many  blows  to  drive  a  nail,  but  one  to 
clinch  it.

Have  you  ever  stopped  to  figure  out 
that  the  biggest  part  of  your  job  is  to 
think  straight?  It  doesn't  make  a  bit  of 
difference  as  to  what  your  particular  job 
is,  either.  "I'm  Bill  Smith,  and  my  job  is 
to  sweep  the  floors  in  our  building.  What 
does  thinking  straight  have  to  do  with  my 
job;  all  I've  got  to  do  is  to  sweep,  isn't  it.^" 

"I'm  Tommy  McGee,  an  errand  boy, 
or  I'm  Mary  Johnson,  a  stenographer;  all 
I've  got  to  do  is  to  do  my  work  well 
enough  to  get  by,  isn't  it.'  What  do  you 
mean — straight  thinking?" 

Straight  thinking  means  that  you  have 
to  stop  and  think  just  how  your  job  hooks 
up  with  every  other  job  in  the  company, 
from  the  president  down.  Xo  matter 
what  your  job  is,  you  have  the  power  to 
do  the  company  a  whole  lot  of  good  or  a 
whole  lot  of  harm. 

Bill  Smith's  job  is  to  sweep  floors;  Bill 
gets  a  bit  careless,  because  he  thinks  his 
job  doesn't  amount  to  much,  and  he  slights 
a  corner  here  and  there  or  pushes  some 
rubbish  under  a  bench  instead  of  removing 
it.  Bill  still  holds  his  job,  so  what  differ- 
ence does  it  make  to  Bill?  It  makes  just 
this  difference:  some  one  else  who  is  not 
thinking  straight  sees  that  Bill  is  slighting 
his  job  and  so  he  slacks  up  a  bit,  and  so  it 
grows  like  a  snowball  rolling  down  a  hill. 


Tommy  loiters  on  the  way,  or  leaves  a 
package  in  the  wrong  office,  causing  some 
one  else  to  lose  valuable  time,  or  being  put 
to   much  trouble  to  locate  it. 

Mary  takes  a  half-day  off  because  she 
was  out  pretty  late  at  a  dance  the  nighl 
before  and  just  "doesn't  feel  good,"  and  a 
number  of  important  letters  are  delayed, 
or  else  have  to  be  handled  by  someone 
else  who  is  thereby  overcrowded. 

Tommy  and  Mary  do  these  things 
because  they  are  not  thinking  straight. 
Sooner  or  later  these  things  wdll  come 
home  to  roost,  because  if  you  do  not 
think  straight,  you  begin  to  lose  your 
self-respect,  and  when  you  lose  that,  you 
are  on  the  skids.  Some  people  have 
bigger  jobs  than  yours  in  the  organiza- 
tion. When  this  is  so,  you  may  rest 
assured  that  it  is  because  these  people  are 
worth  more  to  the  company,  and  they 
didn't  get  to  be  worth  more  until  they 
learned  to  think  straight. 

Get  this  thought  straight:  every  good 
thing  j'?ou  do  for  the  company  is  a  good 
thing  done  for  yourself.  If  you  want  to 
do  your  best  for  yourself — do  your  best 
for  the  company  employing  you — you 
can't  "get  there"  any  other  way. 


A  SCENARIO 

"Oh,  Min!  where's  the  shears?" 

"Mary,  have  you  got  'em?  "Take 
them  right  in  to  your  father." 

"Oh,  Min,  look!  aren't  they  just  the 
cute  little  chaps — been  working  for  us 
every  minute,  too." 

The  above  is  the  scenario  for  a  movie  of 
a  man  clipping  coupons  from  his  Liberty 
Bonds. 

Sure  you  worked  hard  to  pay  for  your 
bonds,  but  you  did  get  them  paid  for,  so 
you  will  not  only  get  your  money  back, 
but  interest  right  along  until  they  mature. 
Don't  bother  about  the  market  price  of 
the  bonds,  you  get  your  interest  on  the 
full  value  just  the  same.  The  lower  the 
market  price,  the  better  the  time  to  buy, 
not  to  sell  them.  Buy  now  if  you  can; 
there  is  no  safer  investment.

THE  NEW  LANDLORD  AND  TENANT  LAWS 


MOST  of  us  have  heard  or  seen  in  the 
newspapers  something  about  the 
new  landlord  and  tenant  laws  which 
went  into  effect  in  this  State  on  April  1st. 
But  from  the  number  of  requests  for  in- 
formation on  the  subject  which  have  been 
received  at  the  Legal  Department,  it  is 
evident  that  few  know  exactly  what 
changes  these  laws  have  brought  about. 

There  are  only  two  provisions  of  the 
new  laws  which  are  of  particular  impor- 
tance to  the  ordinary  landlord  or  tenant. 
Both  of  them  apply  only  to  property 
located  within  the  city  limits,  and  only  to 
property  used  for  dwelling  purposes 
other  than  a  room  or  rooms  in  a  hotel, 
lodging  house  or  rooming  house.  There- 
fore, if  you  are  rooming,  or  if  your  home 
is  in  the  suburbs,  you  will  not  be  par- 
ticularly interested  in  this  article. 

The  first  provision  above  referred  to 
is  that  where  a  landlord  tries  to  put  a 
tenant  out  by  legal  proceedings  in  City 
Court  on  the  ground  that  the  tenant  has 
failed  to  pay  his  rent,  he  (the  landlord) 
must  show  the  judge  either  that  the  rent 
of  the  premises  has  not  been  increased 
more  than  twenty-five  per  cent,  over 
what  it  was  a  year  before,  or  that  the  rent 
has  not  been  increased  over  the  amount 
actually  paid  by  the  tenant  for  the  pre- 
ceding month.  For  example,  if  you  get 
notice  that  your  rent  is  to  be  increased 
to  a  certain  amount  beginning  on  a  cer- 
tain day,  before  you  pay  that  increase 
you  should  get  out  your  rent  book  or  look 
up  your  rent  receipts,  find  out  just  what 
the  amount  of  rent  was  a  year  ago,  dating 
back  from  the  time  the  increase  is  to  go 
into  effect,  and,  if  the  increased  rent  is 
more  than  twenty-five  per  cent,  in  excess 
of  that  amount,  you  should  politely  in- 
form your  landlord  that  the  amount  of 
rent  demanded  is  excessive  and  offer  him 
the  same  amount  which  you  have  been 
paying.  By  all  means,  do  not  pay  the 
increase  once,  and  begin  to  complain 
about  its  unreasonableness  later,  because 
then  it  is  too  late. 


It  is  important  to  remember  that  this 
provision  of  the  law  applies  to  the 
premises,  not  to  the  particular  landlord  or 
tenant — that  is,  if  you  find  that  you  are 
asked  to  pay  an  increase  of  more  than 
twenty-five  per  cent,  over  the  amount 
of  the  rent  of  that  house  or  apartment  a 
year  ago.  Even  though  you  don't  know 
who  then  owned  it  or  lived  in  it,  you 
should  refuse  to  pay  such  increase. 

The  other  provision  of  the  new  law 
which  is  important  is  that  when  a  land- 
lord tries  to  put  a  tenant  out  by  legal 
proceedings  in  the  City  Court  on  the 
ground  that  the  term,  or  time  for  which 
the  tenant  rented  the  place,  has  expired, 
the  judge  may,  upon  application  by  the 
tenant,  issue  a  "stay;"  that  is,  postpone 
the  whole  proceeding  for  any  length  of 
time  he  sees  fit  up  to  one  year.  In  order 
to  get  such  a  "stay"  the  tenant  must  con- 
vince the  judge  that  he  has  searched 
diligently  and  cannot  find  another  suit- 
able dwelling  place  for  himself  and 
his  family  similar  to  the  premises  then 
occupied.  The  effect  of  this  is  as  follows: 
If  you  should  get  a  notice  today  requiring 
you  to  vacate  the  house  you  are  living  in 
on  or  before  a  certain  date,  you  should  at 
once  begin  to  look  for  another  place, 
keeping  a  written  record  of  where  and  of 
whom  you  make  inquiries.  If,  when  the 
date  you  were  asked  to  move  arrives,  you 
have  not  found  a  place,  you  should  in- 
form your  landlord  of  that  fact  and  tell 
him  you  are  continuing  to  search  and 
will  move  as  quickly  as  you  can  find 
another  suitable  place.  If.  in  spite  of 
that,  your  landlord  begins  legal  proceed- 
ings to  put  you  out,  you  or  your  lawyer 
should  ask  the  judge  for  a  "stay,"  telling 
him  all  the  circumstances.  He  will,  if  you 
have  in  good  faith  searched  for  a  place, 
undoubtedly  grant  a  stay  for  some  length 
of  time,  probably  a  week  or  a  month,  and 
will  tell  you  to  come  back  then  and  will 
also  tell  you  where  to  pay  your  rent  mean- 
while. On  that  adjourned  date  the  judge 
may   continue   the   "stay"    for  a   longer

period  and  will  probably  do  so  if  you  can 
convince  him  of  your  continued  inability 
to  find  a  place.  Of  course,  eventually  the 
judge  must  order  you  out,  but  he  need 
not  do  so  for  a  year  unless  he  sees  fit. 

You  can  readily  see  that  both  of  these 
provisions  are  very  greatly  in  favor  of  the 
tenant  as  against  the  landlord.  They  are 
emergency  legislation  brought  about  by 
the  present  unusual  shortage  of  dwelling 


houses  in  cities  and  are  to  remain  in 
effect  only  until  November  1,  lO^^.  Since 
these  laws  are  for  the  protection  of  the 
tenant  against  the  profiteering  landlord, 
they  should  not  be  abused  by  the  tenant. 
He  should  avail  himself  of  their  protec- 
tion to  the  full  extent,  but  should  not  try 
to  use  them  as  an  excuse  to  save  himself 
the  trouble  of  looking  for  a  new  place 
when  his  landlord  for  a  good  reason  has 
given  him  due  notice  to  move. 


YOUR  GARDEN 


WHAT'S  that.=  Too  late  to  start  a 
garden?  Don't  fool  yourself.  When 
you're  talking  gardens  don't  go  by  the 
calendar,  but  by  the  season.  Didn't  we 
have  our  first  real  warm  day  just  a 
couple  of  weeks  ago.'* 

Some  things  can  safely  be  planted  in 
your  garden  at  almost  any  time  until 
after  midsummer.  Lettuce,  turnips,  peas, 
beets  and  beans  can  usually  be  depended 
upon  to  mature  in  from  six  to  nine  weeks. 
Corn  requires  from  eleven  to  thirteen 
weeks  and  potatoes  a  little  longer  than 
corn. 

Here  are  some  of  the  fall  vegetables  that 
should  be  planted  during  July  or  the 
early  part  of  August  in  order  to  mature 
before  frost  comes: 

Beets  Kohl  Rabi 

Cucumbers  (for pickles)  Peas 

Endive  Radishes  (winter  varieties) 

Kale  Turnips 

Another  frequent  pitfall  for  the  amateur 
gardener  is  disregard  of  the  particular  kind 
of  soil  he  happens  to  have.  The  official 
soil  tests  for  the  Rochester  section  show 
that  the  land  hereabouts  is  mostly  clay. 
Many  people  fail  in  gardening  becaiLse 
they  do  not  know  what  kind  of  seed  will 
flourish  best  in  a  clay  soil.  There  are 
certain  rules  to  follow  in  working  a  clay 
soil — particularly  if  it  is  a  new  garden — 
which  will  help  materially: 

1.  Be  careful  not  to  work  the  soil  when 
it  is  too  wet.  Wait  until  it  is  dry  enough 
to  crumble  between  the  fingers. 


^2.  If  well  rotted  stable  manure  is 
available,  plow  in  or  spade  in  a  good 
dressing  of  it;  or  turn  under  a  layer  of 
old  leaves  or  almost  any  kind  of  vegeta- 
tion that  you  can  get. 

3.  After  the  garden  is  plowed  or  spaded, 
and  before  it  is  harrowed  or  raked,  spread 
lime  evenly  over  the  surface.  If  it  is  lime 
carbonate,  spread  it  on  to  a  thickness  of 
at  least  half  an  inch.  Then  work  the  lime 
thoroughly  into  the  soil. 

4.  After  the  lime  is  thoroughly  raked 
in,  spread  on  a  light  dressing  of  commer- 
cial fertilizer  and  rake  it  in.  Or,  if  pre- 
ferred, work  in  a  little  commercial  ferti- 
lizer in  the  bottom  of  each  drill  or  furrow 
just  before  sowing  the  seed. 

5.  Select  these  crops  for  such  soils: 
Lettuce,  Swiss  chard,  sweet  corn,  beans, 
tomatoes.  The  root  crops  are  not  likely 
to  do  well  until  the  garden  has  been 
worked  over  a  season  or  more  and  a  large 
amount  of  humus  has  been  thoroughly 
worked  into  it. 

The  home  gardener  has  every  incentive 
to  put  real  effort  into  his  job  this  year. 
The  Rochester  Industrial  Exposition  will, 
of  course,  have  its  usual  garden  contests 
and  offer  prizes  for  the  best  exhibits.  The 
real  vital  reason  for  having  a  garden  is, 
however,  to  protect  yourself  against  the 
probable  shortage  of  foodstuffs  next  fall 
and  winter.  It  looks  once  more  as  if  the 
fellow  **who  would  be  well  fed  must  feed 
himself."

AT  TORONTO 


The  folks  over  at  the  Canadian  Kodak 
Co.  Ltd.,  in  Toronto,  heard  of  some  of  the 
good  times  we  had  been  having  over  here, 
and  said  that  they  weren't  the  least  bit 
jealous. 

To  prove  that  they  also  knew  how  to 
enjoy  themselves,  they  sent  us  a  picture 


of  the  entertainers  at  their  last  K.  A.  A. 
minstrel  show. 

The  Kodak  Athletic  Association  takes 
in  a  wide  range  of  activities  for  both  the 
men  and  women  of  the  Canadian  organ- 
ization, and  is  in  a  highly  flourishing 
condition.

EMPLOYEES  ASSOCIATION  MAKING  LOANS 


APPLICATIONS  for  loans  from  the 
funds  of  the  Kodak  Employees  Asso- 
ciation (Incorporated)  have  been  coming 
in  regularly  ever  since  the  appearance  of 
the  first  announcement.  The  terms  of 
the  plan  were  outlined  in  the  June  number 
of  The  Kodak  Magazine,  and  already 
about  a  dozen  loans  have  been  made. 

It  has  been  very  gratifying  to  the  Asso- 
ciation to  find  how  many  employees  have 
been  able  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the 
first  clause,  which  stipulates  that  the 
employee  must  be  prepared  to  pay  at 
least  ten  per  cent,  of  the  purchase  price 
of  the  property.  The  situation  speaks 
well  for  the  thriftiness  of  Kodak  workers. 

Some  questions  have  been  asked  con- 
cerning the  second  rule — that  the  Associa- 
tion will  not  loan  more  than  thirty  per 
cent,  of  the  amount  of  the  first  mortgage. 
There  were  two  important  reasons  for 
the  adoption  of  this  rule:  (1)  to  make  the 
investment  entirely  safe;  (2)  to  make  the 
available  money  for  loans  go  as  far  as 
possible.  The  Association,  as  custodian 
of  funds  belonging  to  all  employees,  feels 
that  it  must  use  particular  care  to  safe- 
guard these  funds  and  that  as  many  em- 
ployees as  possible  should  be  helped  to 
purchase  homes. 


Several  applications  have  been  received 
for  loans  for  other  purposes  than  the  pur- 
chase of  homes.  These  purposes  have 
been  entirely  worthy,  such  as  making  re- 
pairs or  adding  improvements  to  homes 
already  purchased.  The  Association  has, 
however,  felt  that  inasmuch  as  only  a 
limited  amount  of  money  is  available  for 
making  loans,  and  since  the  housing 
shortage  in  the  city  makes  it  more  than 
ever  desirable  for  people  to  own  their  own 
homes,  this  particular  object  should,  for 
the  present  at  least,  be  given  the 
preference. 

The  Legal  Department  suggests  that 
inasmuch  as  it  is  never  certain  that  a  loan 
will  be  granted  until  the  property  has 
been  examined  and  the  Association  or  its 
Executive  Committee  formally  passes 
upon  the  loan,  no  employee  should  sign 
a  contract  or  an  ofl^er  for  the  purchase  of 
property  relying  upon  getting  a  loan  from 
the  Association  without  protecting  him- 
self by  having  the  contract  or  offer  ex- 
pressly provide  that  it  is  only  binding 
upon  him  in  case  he  secures  a  loan  from 
the  Association  in  an  amount  stated.  If 
this  precaution  is  not  taken  the  employee 
is  very  likely  to  lose  the  amount  paid 
upon  signing  the  contract  or  offer. 


IN  CASE  OF  ACCIDENT 


Five  fully-qualified  and  unusually  cap- 
able M.  D.'s  make  up  the  present  medical 
staff  of  the  company.  They're  here,  first 
of  all,  to  keep  you  well;  after  that,  to  take 
care  of  the  accidents  which  the  Safety 
First  campaigns  haven't  even  yet  entirely 
eliminated. 

An  important  provision  of  the  New 
York  State  Workmen's  Compensation 
Law  is  the  following : 

"An  employee  injured  while  at 
work  must  notify  his  employer  that 
he  has  been  injured  and  ask  for  medi- 
cal care,  which  the  employer  is 
obliged  to  furnish  for  a  period  of 
sixty  days." 


So,  in  case  of  an  accident,  you  should 
always  notify  the  Medical  Department  at 
your  plant,  or  call  one  of  the  company's 
doctors.  Of  course,  if  you  prefer  to  call 
your  own  family  physician,  you  are  not 
compelled  to  accept  the  services  of  the 
company's  medical  staff,  but  the  Com- 
pany tvill  only  be  responsible  when  mem- 
bers of  its  own  medical  staff  are  called. 

Here's  the  staff,  and  how  to  get  them :

THE  STORY-TELLING  CLASS 


FRED  BREH:\r  over  at  the  Camera 
Works  has  a  happy  way  of  "getting 
the  gang  with  him." 

It  just  so  happens  that  Fred  knows  a 
whole  lot  about  photograpliy  and  can 
prove  it  with  some  of  the  finest  landscapes 
you  ever  feasted  your  eye  upon.  Just 
how  it  came  about,  we  don't  exactly 
know;  maybe  some  one  of  the  fellows 
remarked:  "Gee!  I  wish  I  could  make 
pictures  like  those!"  anyhow  Fred  con- 
ceived the  idea  of  starting  in  the  Camera 
Works  what  was  called  the  "Photographic 
Lecture  Course"  (because  that  sounded 
a  bit  too  formal  the  name  has  since  been 
changed  to  "The  Story -Telling  Class"). 

Fred  got  his  first  lot  of  pupils  together 
and  told  them  that  the  mere  fact  that 
they  worked  in  the  Camera  Works  didn't 
mean  that  they  knew  all  about  photog- 
raphy, and  that  they  would  have  to  begin 
at  the  beginning — which,  strange  (?)  to 
say,  was  good  news  to  quite  a  few  members 
of  the  class.  As  a  starter  he  explained  the 
first  principles  of  a  camera,  and  how  by 
means  of  a  simple,  light-tight  box,  and  with 
just  a  pinhole  (or  more  properly  speaking, 
a  needle-hole)  in  place  of  the  lens,  good 
photographs  could  be  taken;  and  this  fact 
may  likewise  be  news  to  some  of  the  rest 
of  you. 

Full  directions  for  constructing  a 
camera  of  this  type  out  of  cardboard  were 
given,  and  the  pupils  were  told  to  make  a 
camera,  load  it  and  take  a  picture  with  it. 

If  you  don't  believe  that  good  pictures 
can  be  made  with  only  a  pinhole,  just 
cast  your  eyes  over  the  pictures  on  page 
'i  which  were  the  prize  winners  in  this 
contest.  The  contestants  were  divided 
into  three  classes:  Class  A — Considerable 
experience.     Class  B — Some  experience. 


Class    C — ^Xo    experience.      The  judges 
made  the  awards  as  follows : 

Cl.\ss  a 

1st W.  Wincup  (1) 

^2nd F.  O'Brien  (2) 

3rd H.  Baldwin  (3) 

Class  B

2nd J.  Goodbodv  (5) 

3rd L.  Clark  (7) 

Honorable  Mention H.  Thorpe  (6) 

Class  C 

1st Miss  E.  Gamrod  (8) 

2nd A.  Love  (9) 

3rd W.    Riddell  (10) 

Honorable  Mention E.  White  (11) 

Mr.  Robertson  sent  the  following  letter 
to  the  prize  winners: 

I  have  examined  the  pinhole  pictures  in  the 
photographic  test  in  the  class  which  Mr.  Brehra  is 
now  conducting  in  photography,  and  take  this 
opportunity  to  congratulate  you  on  the  very  at- 
tractive and  successful  work  that  you  and  other 
members  of  the  class  have  accomplished. 

This  course  is  interesting  and  educational  and 
will  doubtless  prove  beneficial  both  to  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company  and  the  employees  who  have 
devoted  their  time  to  it.  It  is  this  spirit  of  co- 
operation that  helps  build  up  a  co-operative  and 
progressive    organization. 

Yours  very  truly, 

(Signed)    J.  A.  Robertson. 

The  pupils  of  this  class  have  been  enjoy- 
ing themselves  hugely,  and  incidentally 
learning  a  lot  about  picture  making.  At 
the  present  time  115  pupils  are  enrolled. 
The  class  meets  every  alternate  Wednes- 
day in  the  Men's  Dining  Room,  Camera 
Works,  the  instruction  lasting  from  5:15 
to  6:00  o'clock.  All  employees  who  are 
in  a  supervisory  capacity  are  eligible  to 
enroll,  and  any  inquiry  relative  to  the 
subject  should  be  addressed  to  "Story 
Telling,"  Camera  Works,  Industrial  Rela- 
tions Department.

COMPANY  GUARANTEES  SUPPORT  TO 
RECREATION  PROGRAMS 


A  WELCOME  bit  of  news  for  the 
patrons  and  promoters  of  Kodak 
athletic  and  social  doings  is  the  recent 
announcement  that  the  company  will  go 
fifty-fifty  with  the  employees  in  the 
financial  support  of  such  enterprises.  The 
company  has  approved  an  appropriation 
for  the  year  1920  to  cover  a  part  of  the 
expense  of  all  wholesome  athletic,  recrea- 
tional and  social  activities  for  employees. 
The  plan  is  as  follows: 

"The  company  will  allot  to  each  of 
its  Rochester  plants  an  amount  equal 
to  the  sum  raised  by  the  employees 
of  each  plant — with  the  understand- 
ing that  the  company's  contribution 
will  not  in  any  case  exceed  $1.00  per 
year  for  each  employee,  based  on  the 
average  number  of  employees  for  the 
year." 

This   announcement   has   given   a   big 


boost  to  the  interest  in  such  of  the  plants 
as  already  have  an  Athletic  Association 
or  Recreation  Club,  and  has  stimulated 
the  forming  of  such  an  organization  in  the 
others.  It  is  good  luck  to  Kodak  athletes 
for,  with  prices  on  equipment  soaring  as 
they  are,  it's  been  a  real  problem  to 
finance  such  activities  as  the  Baseball 
League,  which  has  an  expense  budget 
running  into  four  figures.  This  policy 
shows,  too,  that  the  company  is  heartily 
in  sympathy  with  our  recreational  activi- 
ties. It  should  eliminate  the  necessity 
for  some  of  the  money-raising  schemes 
which  have  heretofore  been  necessary. 

The  new  program  also  makes  a  big 
appeal  in  the  "Value  Received"  column. 
It's  a  chance  to  get  double  value  on  your 
money — two  dollars  entertainment  for 
every  dollar  paid  in.  Sounds  pretty  good, 
doesn't  it?

Building  35 

A  NEW  SAFETY  L.\DDER 

W.  T.  Barrett,  of  Building  No.  35, 
Kodak  Park,  has  designed  a  safety  ladder 
with  the  mat  attached,  thereby  appar- 
ently solving  a  problem  which  has  been  a 
source  of  worry  for  some  time.  On  several 
occasions  the  rule  in  effect  at  Kodak 
Park,  that  all  employees  place  a  mat 
under  ladders  when  using  same,  has  been 
violated  and  several  accidents  have 
occurred  when  the  ladders  have  slipped. 

Mr.  Barrett  conceived  the  idea  of 
attaching  the  mat  to  the  ladder  with  a 
ball-and-socket  device,  which  eliminates 
the  chance  of  accident  from  this  cause. 

Tests  made  by  the  General  Safety 
Committee  Avith  the  ladder  placed  at 
different  angles  up  to  a])out  45  degrees 
show  it  to  be  very  ])ra('tical. 

Mr.  Barrett  submitted  his  idea  in  the 
form  of  a  suggestion,  which  has  been 
adopted,  and  on  Avhich  he  will  receive  a 
substantial  award. 


AX  EASY  WAY 

Do  you  recall  when  the  first  Liberty 
Loan  came  along  and  you  felt  that  you 
just  had  to  subscribe  and  help  get  Heinie 
on  the  run?  Just  didn't  see  how  you 
were  going  to  get  along  with  that  nick  in 
your  pay  envelope  every  week,  but  you 
did — and  say,  wasn't  it  that  "grand  and 
glorious  feeling"  when  you  found  that 
you  actually  had  a  bond  or  two  paid  for. 

Loans  two,  three,  four  and  five:  you 
groaned  and  shook  your  head  and  said  it 
just  couldn't  be  done,  with  old  H.  C.  L. 
right  at  your  heels,  but  somehow  you 
managed  it,  and  honestly  now,  you  didn't 
miss  the  money,  did  you?  You  found  that 
it  was  easy  to  save;  far  easier  than  you 
imagined;  and  you  are  mighty  glad  to 
have  those  bonds  working  for  you  now" — 
to  say  nothing  of  the  feeling  of  satis- 
faction in  having  done  your  duty. 

Now  that  you  have  found  out  that  it 
is  easy  to  save  money,  are  you  going  to 
forget  this  highly  profitable  lesson?  A 
good  many  of  the  employees  desire  to 
continue  this  method  of  saving;  a  word  to 
the  cashier  in  your  plant  and  he  will 
deduct  any  amount  you  specify  from  your 
weekly  wage  and  deposit  it  in  the  Roches- 
ter Savings  Bank  to  your  credit. 

Start  your  savings  account  this  week 
and  watch  it  grow.

SUMMER  SAFETY  SUGGESTIONS 


DURING  the  winter  months  we  don't 
need  to  worry  very  much  about  fire, 
at  least  about  setting  fire  to  anything 
with  the  lights.  The  electric  bulb  seems 
to  be  pretty  safe.  But,  if  you  spend  some 
time  in  the  summer,  living  in  a  cottage 
or  tent  at  the  lakeside,  with  gas  or  kero- 
sene for  lights,  then  you  have  more 
reason  to  be  careful. 

For  kerosene  lamps  have  been  known 
to  explode.  Still,  with  a  clean  lamp,  and 
a  properly  trimmed  wick,  the  fire  risk  is 
very  slight.  The  chief  causes  of  accidents 
with  oil  lamps  seem  to  be  (1)  lack  of 
cleanliness;  ('2)  carelessness,  such  as  keep- 
ing the  lamps  in  warm  places  and  allow- 
ing the  oil  to  run  low,  and  (3)  poor  choice 
of  burners. 

Here  are  a  few  suggestions  that  will 
help  to  eliminate  the  danger  in  using 
such  lamps: 

(1)  Do  not  buy  or  use  burners  that  are 
hard  to  clean. 

(2)  Learn  the  construction  of  the 
burner. 

(3)  Keep  the  burner  particularly  clean 
in  places  where  oil  or  char  might 
accumulate. 

(4)  Keep  the  wicks  well  trimmed,  and 
never  let  the  oil  get  low. 


(5)  Do  not  blow  down  the  chimney  to 
put  the  light  out.  Turn  the  wick  low, 
and  blow  across  the  top. 

(6)  If  you  must  leave  a  lighted  lamp 
unattended,  always  use  a  fresh  lamp, 
clean  througliout,  properly  trimmed  and 
full. 

(7)  Mount  bracket  lamps  07ily  where 
they  cannot  be  swung  under  shelves  or 
curtains. 

(8)  Keep  the  wick  turned  down  just 
below  the  top  of  the  tube  while  unlighted. 

If  your  place  is  equipped  with  gas,  you 
should  be  on  the  watch  for  faulty  jets. 
There  is  no  economy  in  using  the  cheap 
open-flame  burner  or  the  low-quality 
mantle  lamp.  These  may  prove  more 
expensive  in  the  long  run.  You  can  get 
the  usual  type  of  high-grade  inverted 
mantle  lamp,  or  the  mantle  lamp  with 
stack,  either  of  which  will  prove 
satisfactory. 

If  you  use  an  open-flame  burner,  be 
sure  tlie  tip  is  so  fastened  that  it  cannot 
be  broken  or  lost.  Burners  with  broken 
or  loose  tips  are  not  only  expensive,  but 
extremely  dangerous,  because  the  tip  may 
blow  off  and  allow  the  gas  to  burn  with  a 
long  flame  which  may  reach  some  inflam- 
mable article  ordinarilv  out  of  reach. 


RUBBER  BANDS— DON'T  DROP 
THEM— PLEASE! 


A  mighty  small  thing  is  a  rubber  band 
and  one  which  serves  a  very  useful  pur- 
pose in  its  place.  Out  of  place,  however, 
it  can  become  a  dangerous  t)rouble-maker. 

A  very  serious  accident  was  tlie  recent 
result  of  one  of  these  same  little  rubber 
bands  carelessly  dropped  at  the  top  of  a 
flight  of  stairs.  The  victim  of  the  acci- 
dent paid  a  heavy  toll  in  suffering  for  the  V  .  .  -, , 
carelessness  of  one  of  his  fellow  workers. 


DON'T  TAKE  A  CHANCE 

Take  care  of  yourself;  it  is  all  you've 
got.

THE  BIG  PICNIC 

The  big  event  of  the  year,  the  Hawk-Eye  Picnic, 
is  to  be  held  this  year  at  Manitou  Beach  on  Satur- 
day, August  14th.  The  grounds  were  chosen  by 
popular  vote  and  the  count  showed  that  a  large 
majority  was  in  favor  of  Manitou.  This  is  one 
event  that  annually  goes  over  with  a  bang,  and 
judging  from  preliminary  arrangements,  this  year 
is  to  be  no  exception.  It  is  to  be  a  day  crammed 
full  of  sports  and  eats,  of  drinks  and  games,  of 
swims  and  dances  and  all  the  other  things  which 
go  to  make  up  a  regular  day. 

F.  H.  Von  Deben  is  Chairman  of  the  general 
committee,  with  George  Brennan,  Howard  Werner, 
John  Vass  and  Chris.  Haus  as  his  committee.  Of 
this  group  George  Brennan  will  be  Chairman  of  the 
special  committee  on  food,  and  John  Vass  on 
athletics.  Ray  Wall  is  Chairman  of  the  committee 
on  publicity  with  Wilbur  Woodams  in  charge  of 
transportation. 

There  is  to  be  no  charge  for  the  picnic  itself- 
The  only  expense  to  the  picnickers  will  be  the  car 
fare  and  food,  which  will  be  arranged  at  the  lowest 
possible  cost.  It  is  hoped  that  all  Hawk-Eytes 
will  not  only  attend,  but  that  they  will  invite  their 
friends  and  relatives. 


TRACK  ATHLETICS 

Track  athletics  have  taken  root  at  Hawk-Eye 
and  from  present  indications  Coach  Johnny  Vass  is 
going  to  turn  out  a  good  team  for  both  the  field  and 
track  events.  Vass  himself  is  well  known  locally  as 
a  middle  and  long  distance  runner,  having  carried 
away  the  City  Championship  in  his  favorite  events 
on  several  occasions.  Captain  Jack  Rearson  and 
Manager  John  Authaler  are  top  notch  sprinters. 
Rearson  can  also  be  counted  to  add  points  in  the 
broad  jump  and  hurdles.  Leonard  Reynolds  of  the 
Centering  Department,  Walter  Silge,  Sidney 
Leggatt  and  Harold  Groh  of  the  Anastigmat  Lens 
Department,  are  promising  candidates  for  the  team, 
and  may  be  expected  to  make  the  veterans  show 
more  than  usual  to  hold  their  places. 

Practices  are  held  regularh'  under  the  direction 
of  Coach  Vass  at.  Number  7  School  on  Wednesday 
and  Friday  evenings.  No  selections  of  a  permanent 
nature  have  been  made  as  yet,  and  all  wlio  are 
interested  are  invited  to  enter  the  trials. 


The  Mounting  Department  has  one  dyed-in-the- 
wool  baseball  fan.  Elizabeth  Meerdink  never  misses 
a  game  on  Saturday  afternoon.

IL\WK-EYE  GARDEN  CLUB 

Secretary  Frank  M.  Hanse  of  the  Hawk-Eye 
Garden  Club  reports  continued  growth  and  interest 
in  the  organization.  One  hundred  and  eighty-five 
employees  are  busj'  cultivating  the  gardens  which 
are  going  to  knock  down  the  totals  on  future 
grocery  bills.  These  same  gardens  will  require  a 
lot  of  work  and  care  between  now  and  harvest  time, 
but  from  present  market  indications  the  vegetables 
will  be  worth  their  weight  in  gold.  It  is  constant 
attention  from  now  on  that  counts.  The  hoe  and 
cultivator  pay  for  themselves  if  worn  out  in  use. 

F.  H.  Von  Deben,  President  of  the  Club,  is 
endeavoring  to  determine  whether  or  not  the  senti- 
ment among  the  gardeners  favors  an  exhibition  of  their 
wares  at  the  end  of  the  season.  The  (juestion  is  to 
be  left  to  the  wishes  of  the  members  of  the  Club  and 
is  entirely  secondary  to  the  main  object  of  the 
organization,  which  is  to  grow  for  food. 

OVERFLOW 

We  sure  are  growing.  A  part  of  Adam  Long's 
Machine  Shop  at  the  corner  of  Avenue  E  and  St. 
Paul  Street  has  been  leased  and  tlie  Glass  Milling 
Department  is  being  moved  over  to  allow  for  the 
necessary  expansion  in  the  Glass  Moulding  Depart- 
ment. The  glass  cutters  and  millers  may  well  be 
proud  of  their  new  quarters,  though  they  must  feel 
somewhat  lonesome  and  exclusive  over  there  by 
themselves. 

The  official  records  of  the  Eastman  Kodak  Base- 
ball League  for  the  first  three  games  of  the  season 
show  pretty  plainly  why  Hawk-Eye  is  in  line  for 
the  pennant.  The  boys  have  delivered  more  hits 
in  the  three  games  than  any  other  team  in  the 
league — twenty-eight,  to  be  exact.  Their  team  bat- 
ting average  is  .'297,  and  their  fielding  average  .918. 
Boehm,  with  .500;  Peterson,  witli  .400;  Felerski, 
with  .375;  Kozlowski,  with  .3.S3,  and  Wiedeman 
and  Levine.  with  .307  each,  are  leading  the  hitters. 
In  the  field,  Wiedeman,  Levine,  Marcille,  Boehm 
and  Kozlowski  have  perfect  records. 


SIDELIGHTS  ON  THE  OPENING  GAME 

Many  new  faces  appeared  in  the  Hawk-Eye  line- 
up as  it  took  the  field  against  the  Premo  Works  on 
June  5th.  We  welcome  the  new  players  to  the 
team,  hoping  they  will  put  forward  their  best 
efi'orts  to  develop  the  team  work  which  will  result 
in  the  winning  of  the  Kodak  League  pennant. 


Despite  the  cold  weather,  \a\  Kozlowski  pitched  a 
beautiful  game  for  Hawk-Eye.  Val  had  "every- 
thing," as  the  box  score  shows,  and  he  pleased  the 
fans  when  he  retired  the  side  in  one.  two,  three 
order  in  the  second  inning.  Just  two  hits  were  pro- 
cured off  his  delivery  and  with  the  1009c  backing  he 
received  he  was  never  in  danger. 


Allan  Peterson,  Kozlowskis  receiving  department, 
displayed  his  wares  for  the  first  time  and  made  a 
good  impression.  We  expect  to  see  this  boy  turn 
them  all  back  when  they  attempt  to  pilfer  the  bases. 


Albert  Marcille  at  first  played  a  fine  game,  shar- 
ing honors  with  Kozlowski,  for,  while  "Val"  was 
holding  the  Premos,  "Douber"  was  driving  in  the 
runs  for  Hawk-Eye.  Keep  puffing,  "Douber,"  old 
boy,  and  we'll  get  there. 


Oh  I  Man!  did  you  see  Leo  Felerski,  our  last  year's 
backstop,  hold  down  second  base?  His  playing  was 
all  that  could  be  asked,  and  he  bids  fair  to  be  the 
best  second  baseman  in  the  Kodak  League.  To  beat 
Leo's  wonderful  throwing  arm,  one  has  to  burn  the 
path  from  the  plate  to  first  in  nothing  flat,  and  the 
boys  have  to  back  up  to  get  the  ball  when  he  meets 
it,  a  fact  proved  when  he  was  robbed  of  two  hits. 
Now  fans,  if  you  are  not  interested  in  pitchers'  bat- 
tles, you  should  come  out  to  see  Felerski  play 
second  base. 


Ingleby  at  short  and  Prentice  at  third  were  not 
allowed  to  show  the  goods,  as  nothing  came  their 
way,  but  both  counted  in  as  hit  producers.  We 
know  Inglebys  ability,  but  Me  should  have  liked 
a  line  on  Prentice.  This  much  can  be  said  for  the 
boy,  howe\'er,  if  he  ever  gets  a  glove  you  can  bet 
he  will  stop  the  hot  ones  at  third. 


Our  secondary  defense  composed  of  George 
Wiedeman,  Benny  Levine  and  Martin  Boelmi  did 
not  have  much  of  a  chance  to  shine  in  the  gardens, 
but  these  boys  can  safely  be  counted  on  to  do  their 
share  in  holding  Hawk-Eye  out  in  front.

3rd,  son  of  Raymond  Dewey  of  the  Drafting 
Department. 


RajTiiond  Van  Huben  of  the  Anastigmat  Lens 
Department  is  more  fortunate  than  most  of  us 
during  these  warm  days.  He  has  moved  to  his 
summer  home  on  Irondequoit  Bay. 


The  eleven-year-old  son  of  Alois  Groell  of  the 
Anastigmat  Lens  Department  was  painfully  injured 
while  spending  a  day  at  Sea  Breeze  recently.  He 
was  playing  on  the  bridge  over  the  outlet  when  an 
automobile  backed  into  him,  crushing  him  against 
the  rail.  We  sincerely  hope  the  little  fellow  will 
make  a  speedy  recovery. 


Andrew  Wingfein,  Tony  Andreassi  and  Walter 
Silge  of  the  Anastigmat  Lens  Department  have 
"raised  their  heads  above  the  crowd."  Each  of 
them  stands  out  of  the  department  "like  a  sore 
thumb."  They  are  marked  men.  They  have  had 
their  heads  clipped. 


The  Pitch  Buttoning  Department  has  lost  two 
of  its  girls.  Mrs.  Delia  Robinson  has  been  trans- 
ferred to  Kodak  Park  and  Marie  Cunningham  to 
the  Centering  Department.  The  best  wishes  of  all 
the  girls  go  with  them  to  their  new  work. 


Ruth  Pierce  and  Grace  Walker  have  been  trans- 
ferred from  the  Inspecting  Department  to  the 
Filter  Department.  The  filter  makers  want  to 
impress  on  the  newcomers  the  fact  that  they  have 
joined  a  happy  family. 


Frank  Del  ^lonaco,  more  familiarly  known  as 
■"Caru.so,"  in  the  Anastigmat  Lens  Department, 
recently  purchased  a  home  and  has  been  furnishing 
amusement  for  the  other  men  in  the  department 
ever  since.  From  the  number  of  repairs  Frank  has 
been  required  to  make  on  tiie  house  it  would  seem 
that  he  bought  a  few  good  walls  and  that's  all. 


In  the  "lost  time  and  attendance"  contest  which 
ran  for  nine  weeks,  a  combination  of  George  Hand- 
foril's  polisiiers.  Jack  Holly's  fine  grinilers  and 
Charles  Snap])'s  insj)cctors  showed  the  best  record 
of  any  group  in  the  factory.  They  won  the  dollar 
apiece  bonus  four  times  out  of  nine  chances.  A 
record  to  shoot  at! 


Carl  Ciu-lson  of  tlw  Mounting  Department  is 
keeping  bachelor  (juarters  since  his  wife  returned  to 
iSwedenfor  a  visit  of  three  months.

the  girl.  With  Leland  the  time  was  June  12th,  and 
the  girl  ]Miss  Isabel  Gardner.  With  Walter  the 
time  was  June  30th,  and  the  girl  Miss  Bessie  Preston.

Willis  Richmond  of  the  Assembling  Department 
is  becoming  famous  either  for  his  fish  or  for  his 
stories.  He  caught  a  fifteen-pound  pickerel  at 
Manitou  recently.     Now  take  vour  own  choice. 


The  Tool  Room  employees  are  strong  supporters 
of  our  baseball  team.  The  way  they  turned  out  for 
the  opening  game,  shows  that  they  are  determined 
to  see  the  Hawk-Eye  boys  win  the  pennant. 


Speaking  about  baseball  rooters.  What  is  the 
matter  with  Edward  Wright  of  the  Maintenance  and 
Construction  Department.^  Will  the  other  Hawk- 
Eye  fans  please  take  notice.^ 


A  party  of  Mr.  Newinan's  inspectors  visited 
Loretta  Ereth  at  her  cottage  by  the  lake  recently. 
The  party  was  a  surpri.se,  but  Loretta.  equal  to  the 
occasion,  entertained  her  guests  with  toe  dancing. 
Cnfortunately  she  stubbed  her  toe  while  dancing 
and  has  since  been  confined  to  her  cottage. 


Charles  Ludwig  of  the  Brass  Department  has 
been  on  the  sick  list  for  the  last  three  weeks.  Charlie 
is  one  of  the  oldest  and  most  jiojjular  employees  at 
Hawk-Eye.  His  service  dates  back  eighteen  years, 
so  it  is  little  wonder  he  is  sorely  missed  from  the 
department. 


Andrew  Lettau  of  the  Mounting  Dei)artment  is 
determined  to  keep  down  the  high  cost  of  living 
this  season  witli  his  home  garden.  He  has  planted 
half  of  it,  but  dtx'sn't  know  what  to  do  with  the 
other  three  feet.

THESE  WERE  HURT 

Isn't  it  surprising  how  accidents  can  happen? 
I  wonder  if  we  have  got  so  accustomed  to  seeing 
Safety  signs  and  reading  Safety  articles  that  we 
have  l)econie  calloused. 

It's  a  great  thing  to  know  that  the  factory 
maintains  a  Safety  Inspector,  Safety  Committees, 
a  Press  Inspector,  Safety  (iuards,  and  all  manner 
of  devices,  and  some  of  us  expect  all  these  things — 
perhaps  rightly — and  do  not  trouble  much  about 
Safety  ideas  and  precautions.  In  other  words,  we 
let  "Dick  do  it."  It's  his  job  and  we  have  faith 
in  the  Company's  idea  of  Safety  precautions. 

Fine! 

The  Company  does  maintain  up-to-date  safety 
devices. 

Dick  does  do  it. 

But 

Do  you  know  there  were  nine  people  injured  last 
May.^ 

All  friends  of  yours,  and  mine,  and  everyone. 

Here  they  are: 

Florence  Goodwin:  hers  was  an  exceptional 
accident. 

Elmer  Johnson:  turned  to  look  at  anotlier 
workman:  result,  two  fingers  amputated. 

AVilliam  Tucker;  cleaning  bottom  of  punch  with 
his  finger  and  inadvertently  tripped  the  press; 
result,  two  fingers  amputated. 

Nick  Rick;  tried  to  lift  too  heavy  a  box;  result, 
strained  back. 

David  O'Conner;  heavy  scale  overbalanced; 
result,  crushed  foot. 

Marion  Thompson;  tripped  over  a  piece  of  pipe, 
fell,  hurt  her  leg. 

Nicholas  Graus;  tripped  press  with  hand  slightly 
around  guard;  result,  one  finger  amputated. 

Mabel  Ginegaw:  pulled  out  tray  which  fell; 
result,  possible  amputation  of  toe. 

Peter  Cowie;  handling  heavy  boxes;  result, 
strained  back. 

Of  course  everyone  is  sorry  for  these  people,  and 
we  sincerely  trust  they  are  recovering,  but,  if  a 
little  more  forethought  had  been  used  the  majority 
of  these  accidents  would  not  have  happened. 

Nobody  likes  to  have  accidents. 

Most  of  them  are  unnecessary  evils. 

Let's  avoid  them  by  being  careful.

RICHARD  H.  JENNINGS 

A  PROGRESSIVE  EMPLOYEE 

The  obvious  fact  that  "nothing  succeeds  like 
success"  is  fully  demonstrated  in  the  case  of  Richard 
Jennings,  our  popular  Safety  Inspector.  Some  of 
us  "old  uns,"  harking  back  to  Charlie  Thompson's 
days,  can  well  remember  Dick  as  an  all-around 
assistant  during  fire  drill  tests  and  safety  committee 
work,  with  a  regular  job  in  the  Kodak  Assembling 
Department.  The  benefits  of  the  Safety  Move- 
ment have  long  passed  the  experimental  stage, 
and,  keeping  pace  with  its  growth,  the  Management 
appointed  Dick  to  devote  all  his  time  to  making 
the  factory  safe  for  the  employees,  and  to  supervise 
its  physical  condition  in  the  matter  of  cleanliness  and 
pleasant  surroundings. 

The  field  of  Safety  Work  has  grown  so  rapidly 
within  the  last  three  years  ihat  even  the  Committee 
work  is  fast  becoming  a  specialized  job.  An 
excellent  method  of  procedure  along  safety  lines 
has  been  in  force  in  the  Camera  Works  for  a  long 
time,  in  choosing  committees  from  the  employees 
for  each  one  of  the  levels.  This  year,  however, 
the  Management  has  appointed  the  fifteen  successful 
students  from  the  Camera  Works  who  graduated 
in  the  Safety  Supervisor's  Class  in  the  local  Safety 
Council. 

There  were  US  graduates  from  Rochester, 
representing  19  manufacturing  plants,  and,  in  order 
to  create  an  o])])ortunity  for  interchanging  ideas  and 
discussing  new  j^hases  of  accitlent  prevention,  a 
permanent  society  known  as  the  "Alunmi  Associa- 
tion for  Safety  Supervisors,"  Rochester  Chamber. 
Local  No.  9.  was  instituted,  and  by-laws  drawn  up 
and  officers  elected  for  the  ensuing  year. 

The  Camera  Works  feel  proud  to  state  that 
Richard  Jennings  was  almost  unanimously  elected 
as  President,  and  he  declared  his  intention  of 
lending  his  best  efforts  to  further  the  interests  of 
Safetv  and  the  Association.

EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEE 
OF  EMPLOYEES'  REPRESENTATIVES 

A  new  member  has  been  elected  on  the  Executive 
Committee,  to  take  the  place  of  Lucy  Diesel,  who  is 
now  listed  as  Supervisor  in  the  Detail  and  Estimate 
Department.  The  Chairman  called  a  meeting  of 
all  representatives  for  the  purpose  of  election 
on  May  26th,  and  Edith  Partridge  and  Mrs. 
Mabel  Kane  were  nominated  as  candidates.  The 
voting  was  very  close,  results  showing  46  to  44  in 
favor  of  Mabel. 


MRS.  MABEL  KANE 

Mrs.  Kane  is  becoming  prominent  in  employees' 
organizations,  having  been  elected  as  a  Represen- 
tative, and  then  as  a  member  of  the  Executive 
Committee,  all  within  four  weeks.  The  Recreation 
Club  elected  her  as  their  Auditor,  and  this  is  why 
we  are  printing  Mrs.  Kane's  picture. 

Meet  her — it's  worth  while!

ANNUAL  GARDEN  INSPECTION 

Gardeners — Yet  another  Competition! 

The  annual  inspection  will  take  place  this  month. 
Let  us  see  what  you  are  doing,  and  intend  to  do. 
Send  in  your  name,  registration  number  and  the 
exact  location  of  your  garden  or  lot,  as  early  as 
possible.  Don't  wait  for  the  final  acceptance  date, 
July  17th.  Do  it  now,  and  spend  the  rest  of  the 
time  using  your  hoe  and  cultivator. 

Do  not  refrain  from  entering  this  competition 
because  your  garden  is  not  for  "show  purposes." 
The  Committee  know  that  you  are  raising  vegetables 
for  your  own  use  and  will  judge  accordingly.  This 
year  the  officers  of  the  association  have  tried  to 
cover  all  the  different  kinds  of  gardens  and  lots,  and 
your  entry  will  be  graded  into  one  of  four  classes: 

1.  A  backyard  garden  worked  by  one  person. 
'i.  A  backyard  garden  worked  by  man  and  wife. 

3.  A  vacant  lot  worked  by  one  person  only. 

4.  A  vacant  lot  worked  by  two  or  more  men. 

Points  will  be  awarded  as  follows : 

Freedom  from  bugs  and  insects 25 

Thorough  cultivation 20 

Maximum  production 20 

Spacing  for  proper  growth 15 

General  neatness  and  layout 15 

Assortment  (minimum  of  6) 5 

Allowance  for  virgin  soil — maximum  of  5 
Natural  difficulties — maximum  of 5 

The  Committee  will  send  each  person  entering  this 
competition  the  exact  number  of  points  awarded, 
and  will  state  how  they  arrived  at  their  conclu- 
sions. We  are  trying  to  make  this  an  educational 
feature  and  urge  you  to  enter  your  garden  or  lot 
even  if  it's  only  "for  the  good  of  the  order." 

Entry  forms  will  be  sent  to  you  through  the 
factory  mail  within  a  few  days.  Fill  them  in  and 
return  them  to  the  Secretary,  Industrial  Relations 
Department. 

The  Shutter  Room  is  famed  for  its  baseball 
fiends.  The  latest  addition  to  the  realm  of  sports 
is  the  "Ought"  Team,  managed  by  Clarence 
Van  Duser.  He  has  secured  Joe  Meyers  and  Tom 
Lawler  as  pitchers,  and  declares  he  has  an  A-1 
team.  Any  department  ha\'ing  a  team  that  looks 
good  should  apply  to  \'an  for  a  challenge  game.

THE  "PATHFINDERS"  BASEB.\LL  TEAM 

There  appears  to  be  a  surplus  of  baseball  players 
in  the  Camera  Works,  for  not  only  can  we  boast 
about  the  Camera  Works  team,  but  a  new  one  has 
sprung  into  existence  and  is  bringing  forth  good 
material.  Among  three  thousand  employees,  the 
Camera  Works  should  be  able  to  support  and 
maintain  a  second  baseball  team,  especially  as 
arrangements  will  be  made  so  that  the  games  of 
the  two  teams  will  not  clash  and  so  distract  from 
the  interest  in  one  or  the  other.  Of  course,  the 
Pathfinders  are  not  in  the  regular  Kodak  league, 
but,  nevertheless,  we  should  follow  them  with 
interest,  as  being  part  of  the  activities  of  the 
Recreation  Club. 

The  team  has  secured  the  diamond  at  West  High 
Athletic  Field  on  Tuesday  nights,  the  games 
starting  at  6:30  P.  M.  The  Manager  has  signed 
up,  among  others,  such  familiar  pitchers  as  Ray 
Miles  and  Matt  Kuhn,  and  for  catchers  has  secured 
Geo.  Millspaugh  and  Chas.  Irwin. 

John  Walsh,  popularly  known  as  Jack,  will  be 
recognized  as  one  of  the  official  umpires,  retained 
by  the  Kodak  league,  and  his  election  to  the  post 
of  Manager  for  the  Pathfinders  was  unanimous. 


There  are  three  departments  in  the  factory  which 
operate  a  "Friendly  Club,"  which  is  so  successful 
that  we  commend  the  idea  for  extension.  The 
Kodak  Assembling,  Lens,  and  Complete  Inspection 
Departments  have  elected  a  committee  from  the 
operators  to  handle  a  fund  for  sick  employees. 
The  departments  subscribe  ten  cents  per  person, 
and  any  operator  who  is  sick  receives  a  visit  from 
the  committee  together  with  a  basket  of  fruit. 
The  treasury  is  never  allowed  to  be  empty,  and  tlie 
departments  in  question  have  issued  a  ruling 
extending  the  sending  of  flowers  for  deatlis  in  tlie 
family. 

Such  institutions  as  tliese  make  for  ideal  factory 
conditions,  and  congratulations  are  due  to  tlie  three 
departments  on  their  conceiition  <>f  working  irith 
each  other. 

Al  Youngren,  Photostat,  has  beaten  the  renting 
game  in  buying  a  house,  and  we  are  told  it's  a 
dandv. 


CAMERA  WORKS  SOCCER  TEAM 

One  of  the  successes  of  the  Camera  Works 
Recreation  Club  is  the  formation  of  a  Soccer 
Football  team,  under  the  captaincy  of  James 
Gordon.  This  team  is  representing  the  Camera 
Works  in  the  Rochester  and  District  League,  and 
for  the  Northwestern  New  York  Competition  Cup. 

Any  man  who  can  play  football  will  be  very 
welcome  to  try  out  with  the  team.  Make  appli- 
cation to  the  President,  J.  W.  Heaphy. 

The  team  solicits  the  support  of  Camera  Works 
fans.     Bulletin  boards  tell  the  when  and  where. 

Joseph  Burns  is  acting  as  Vice-President,  Wm. 
Mostyn  as  Secretary,  and  Frank  Gordon  as  Treas- 
urer and  Manager.

KATHLEEN  E.   WESTLAKE 

Graduate  Sitrse 
In  Charge  of  Medical   Dispensary 

The  Medical  Dispensary  is  now  open.  Miss 
Westlake  is  in  charge,  and  is  fully  qualified  to  take 
care  of  any  cases  which  may  require  her  services. 

The  dispensary  is  equipped  with  modern  appli- 
ances for  first  aid  work,  and  the  need  of  such  a 
department  has  been  evident  in  the  Camera 
Works  for  some  time,  owing  to  the  increasing 
number  of  men  and  women  on  the  payroll.  The 
Medical  Department,  located  in  the  Main  Office, 
takes  care  of  physical  examinations  and  surgical 
cases,  but  all  first  aid  cases  connected  with  Camera 
Works  employees  are  treated  in  the  dispensary, 
which  is  situated  on  the  fourth  level.  Building  1. 

Miss  Westlake  is  a  Graduate  Xurse  from  the 
Homeopathic  Hospital,  and  is  very  proud  of  her 
new  charge.  

Mart  Franey,  who  has  seventeen  years  of  faithful 
service  to  his  credit,  met  with  a  distressing  accident 
a  few  weeks  ago,  but  has  sufficiently  recovered  to 
allow  him  to  be  on  the  job  again.  Mart  has  an 
enviable  record  of  a  perfect  attendance  for  1916- 
1917,  and  the  Brownie  Covering  Department 
welcomes  him  back. 


CAMERA  WORKS  TENNIS  TOURNAMENT 

As  announced  by  posters,  a  Tennis  Tournament 
is  being  played  by  Camera  Works  employees 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Recreation  Club,  and 
managed  by  Harold  Marson.  The  Club  was 
fortunate  enough  to  secure  permission  from  the 
city  to  use  the  two  courts  in  Brown  Square  Park, 
in  consideration  of  putting  them  in  order.  We 
can  now  boast  of  the  finest  tennis  courts  used  by 
industrial  teams. 

The  courts  are  situated  in  the  northwest  corner 
of  the  park,  near  Saratoga  and  Jay.  Camera 
Works  employees  are  invited  to  use  the  courts 
during  the  noon  hour. 


HAROLD  MARSON 

The  Tournament  will  be  played  each  evening 
from  7  to  8:30.  except  Saturdays  and  Sundays, 
when  the  matches  will  be  staged  from  2:30  to  5:30. 

Roy  Handy,  Foreman  of  the  No.  0  Shutter 
Department,  has  had  a  long  illness  dating  back  to 
January.  A  bad  attack  of  influenza  started  the 
trouble,  necessitating  a  serious  operation.  Roy 
is  a  popular  man  in  the  Camera  Works,  and  we 
welcome  him  back. 


Harry  Goddard  must  have  been  a  busy  man

discovered  he  is  not.  An.^'way,  Goddard  is  here

Our  sympathy  is  extended  to  the  wife  and

pleurisy  last  month.  Mr.  Gladwin  worked  in  the 
Tool  Department  for  eight  years,  and  made  many 
friends  in  the  Camera  Works. 


Emma  Tirrell  is  to  be  married  on  July  3rd. 
Emma  has  been  a  very  popular  girl  in  the  Shutter 
room  for  eight  years. 


Sol  Paley,  erstwhile  Editor  of  the  Camera  Works 
Bulletin,  has  sent  an  announcement  of  his  marriage 
to  several  old  friends,  who  join  in  congratulations. 


Dan  Doran,  Kodak  Assembling  Department, 
is  still  suffering  from  the  effects  of  pneumonia, 
contracted  last  January.  A  month's  rest  in  the 
country  has  helped  him  to  recover,  and  we  assure 
Dan  that  there  is  a  welcome  awaiting  him  on  his 
return. 


The  Tool  Department  has  had  its  share  of 
sickness,  one  case  being  particularly  bad,  that  of 
Fay  Barber.  Fay  is  well  on  the  road  to  good 
health,  however,  and  will  soon  be  among  his  shop- 
mates. 


Ma.K  Lestin,  Screw  Machine  Department,  has 
completely  recovered  from  an  operation  for  appen- 
dicitis. Max  says  there  isn't  so  much  of  him  now, 
but  what  there  is  is  good. 


Harry  Xorter.  Woodworking,  whose  home  is  at

has  been  training  these  shiners  to  swim  through 
a  two-inch  pipe.  This  method  of  education,  he 
states,  causes  the  shiners  to  enter,  without  hesita-

KODAK  PARK  OFFICE  PICNIC 

About  one  hundred  and  fifty  members  of  the 
Kodak  Park  Main  Office  attended  the  annual  picnic- 
held  on  Saturday,  ^lay  !2'2nd,  at  East  Maplewood. 

The  opening  number  on  the  sports  program  was  a 
baseball  game  between  two  girls"  teams,  captained 
by  Marion  Burns  and  Marguerite  Ellis,  resulting  in 
a  victory  for  Marion's  team.  This  was  followed  by 
a  glorious  defeat  for  the  "Married  Men"  at  the 
hands  of  Jack  Grinnan's  '"Youngsters."  The 
married  men  had  a  perfectly  good  alibi  for  losing — 
Ed.  Hogestyn,  who  pitched  against  them.  Follow- 
ing are  the  winners  of  the  other  events:  100-yd. 
dash  for  men.  Don.  McMaster;  three-legged  race 
for  men,  P.  Walley  and  F.  Wood;  .50-yd.  dash  for 
girls,  Anna  Wittman;  backward  race  for  girls, 
Marion  Burns;  ball  throwing  contest  for  girls, 
Marion  Burns;  ball  throwing  contest  for  men,  Ed. 
Hogestyn.  Table  prizes  won  by  Marie  Hendricks, 
Ed.  Goodridge,  and  Milton  Ernisse. 

An  excellent  dinner  was  served  at  G:30,  for  which 
everyone  was  in  good  condition.  Between  courses 
entertainment  was  furnished  by  Jack  Free,  who 
introduced  several  new  and  witty  numbers.  Jack 
is  becoming  more  and  more  popular  as  time  goes 
on,  and  no  affair  is  considered  complete  without 
some  contribution  from  this  versatile  young  artist. 


AMERICAN  LEGION  NOTES 

Since  merging  with  the  former  "Kodak  Post," 
the  "Frank  L.  'Ace'  Guillod  Post"  has  rapidly 
forged  to  the  front,  as  one  of  the  largest,  most 
prominent  and  progressive  Posts  in  Monroe  County. 
Hiokatoo  Hall,  I'-ZS  Reynolds  Arcade,  has  been 
secured  for  headquarters,  and  regular  meetings 
will  be  held  there  the  second  Friday  of  each  month. 
Every  ex-service  man  is  invited  to  be  present  at 
the  meetings.  Those  who  do  not  as  yet  belong 
to  the  Legion  are  particularly  urged  to  attend. 

On  Memorial  Day  over  a  hundred  members  of 
the  Post  were  in  uniform  for  the  parade,  and  they 
made  a  fine  impression  under  the  capable  guidance 
of  P.  H.  Case  and  "Jerry"  Welles. 

At  the  last  meeting  two  new  vice-presidents 
were  elected:  C.  A.  Kneer,  Kodak  Park,  and  H. 
Irwin,  Main  Office;  and  P.  H.  Case  and  H.  Mumby, 
Kodak  Park;  P.  J.  Nolan,  Camera  Works,  and  H. 
Irwin,  Main  Office,  were  elected  to  the  Coimty 
Committee. 

There  are  still  a  few  ex-service  men  in  the  various 
plants  who  have  not  yet  joined  the  Legion.  Most 
of  these  men  are  merely  putting  it  off  for  a  time, 
but  there  are  still  a  few  who  fail  to  grasp  the  essential 
points  of  the  Legion's  aims,  that  it  is  an  organization 
for  ex-service  men,  run  by  ex-service  men  for  the 
ex-service  men,  and  that  it  is  the  greatest  poten- 
tiality for  good,  for  the  promotion  of  real  live 
Americanism  this  country  has  ever  had. 

It  is  every  ex-service  man"s  privilege;  even  more, 
it  is  his  duty  to  join  the  Legion,  and  if  he  has  no 
other  choice  of  Posts,  sign  up  with  "Guillod  Post," 
and  help  to  put  this  Post  on  a  real  Kodak  basis,  first 
and  foremost  in  the  country.     Let's  go!

FUR  AND  FEATHER  CLUB 

The  Kodak  Park  Fur  and  Feather  Club  is 
progressing  very  nicely,  and  it  is  at  present  making 
a  campaign,  the  object  being  to  interest  the 
employees  who  are  not  at  present  members  of  the 
association  to  join  them. 

There  is  a  proposition  under  consideration  at 
tlie  present  time  to  buy  feed  in  carload  lots  for  the 
members  of  the  Club,  which  should  result  in  consid- 
erable saving  for  the  members. 

The  new  bulletin  boards  have  been  placed  in  the 
entrance  of  the  Dining  Hall  in  Building  No.  '28 
and  in  the  archway.  Building  No.  5.  These  l^oards 
are  to  be  used  by  the  members  to  advertise  stock, 
which  they  may  have  for  sale  or  exchange,  and  for 
other  news  relative  to  the  Association.

his  connections  with  Kodak  Park  on  Saturday, 
June  VZlh.  lie  has  accejiled  a  position  with  the

division. 

Having  been  with  us  since  June.  1915,  all  of  which 
time  was  s[)ent  in  Department  No.  50,  it  is  with 
regret  that  we  received  news  of  his  decision  to  enter 
other  fields.  He  leaves  with  our  l)est  wishes  for 
much  success  in  this  new  enterpri.se. 


PERMANENT  COMMITTEE  FOR 
COMMUNITY  CHEST 

June  10,  1920. 

To  the  Executive  Committee,  to  the  General 
Committee,  and  to  the  workers  I  extend  my  thanks 
for  the  efficient  and  enthusiastic  manner  in  which 
they  worked  for  the  Community  Chest  campaign 
at  Kodak  Park.  But  any  expression  of  thanks  on 
my  part  woukl  be  incomplete  without  saying  how 
much  I  appreciate  the  hearty  and  generous  response 
from  the  employees.  By  the  splendid  co-operation 
of  all,  we  were  able  to  make  a  fine  showing. 

It  has  been  decided  to  make  the  Executive 
Committee  a  permanent  one  for  the  purpo.se  of 
taking  care  of  questions  which  may  arise  during 
the  year.  The  Committee  will  meet  the  first  Friday 
of  each  month  at  3  P.  M.  It  will  be  pleased  to 
answer  as  far  as  possible  any  questions  relative  to 
the  Community  Chest  and  to  entertain  any  sugges- 
tions which  may  be  of  benefit  in  future  campaigns. 
The  party  may  communicate  in  writing  or  appear 
before  the  Committee. 

The  Committee  will  place  before  the  Community 
Chest  any  complaint  against  any  of  the  institutions 
aided  by  the  Community  Chest,  provided  that  the 
complaint  is  in  WTiting  and  is  signed  by  the  party 
making  the  complaint. 

Harry  LeB.  Gr.\t, 
Chairman,  Executive  Committee. 


ALBERT  JOHNSON 

On  Thursday,  May  27th,  Albert  Johnson,  one 
of  the  popular  employees  of  the  D.  O.  P.  Packing 
Department,  passed  away  after  an  illness  which  had 
kept  him  at  home  since  October  17,  1919.  Mr. 
Johnson  had  been  employed  at  Kodak  Park  since 
June  10.  1912.  He  was  very  well  known,  well  liked 
and  will  be  greatly  missed.  To  his  relatives  we 
extend  our  sympathy. 


Genevieve  Noble  left  on  Saturday,  June  26th,  to 
be  married.  On  Friday  evening,  June  -ith,  Mary

Manitou  Beach. 


We  understand  that  Dr.  Reid,  Paul  Seel.  Nelse 
Bruce  and  Jerry  Lane  are  exhibiting  rare  form  on 
the  course  this  year.  Safety  first,  Bruce;  stick  to 
the  emergency  brake.  It  would  have  been  a  sad 
thing  if  you  had  nuissed  up  that  trolley  car,  even 
though  von  did  lireak  your  rear  axle.

LEGION  TEAM  LEADS  XOOX- 
HOUR  PLAYERS 

The  end  of  the  first  lap  of  the  Noon-Hour  Lidoor 
Baseball  League  shows  the  Axnerican  Legion  team 
leading  by  a  scant  margin.  Each  year  the  interest 
in  this  popular  sport  has  increased  since  its  introduc- 
tion at  Kodak  Park,  and  19'20  is  by  far  the  best 
we  have  ever  had  from  every  standpoint.  The 
grounds  are  in  excellent  condition,  having  been 
filled  in  and  rolled;  a  .score  board  has  been  installed, 
and  the  teams  are  stronger,  and  playing  better  ball. 
It  seems  to  be  inevital)le  that  some  one  team  shall 
have  all  the  hard  luck  of  the  League.  This  year 
this  team  seems  to  be  the  '"Crabs,"  who  are  at  the 
tail  end  of  the  list.  A  few  changes  are  being 
made,  however,  in  hopes  that  the  jinx  can  be 
sidetracked  and  a  few  more  games  may  change  the 
standing  considerably.

TENNIS 


The  work  of  re-surfacing  the  tennis  courts  has 
been  completed,  and  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  now  boasts  of 
seven  of  the  best  courts  to  be  found  in  this  part  of 
the  country. 

As  usual,  the  interest  in  this  sport  is  very  keen 
and  a  great  number  of  the  members  are  taking 
advantage  of  our  excellent  facilities.  The  increased 
demand  has  necessitated  the  making  of  a  new 
ruling  affecting  the  use  of  these  courts.  Singles 
are  not  allowed  during  the  noon  hour,  in  order  to 
enable  a  greater  number  to  play,  and  the  time 
limit  rule  is  also  being  enforced,  which  requires 
persons  who  take  the  courts  at  twelve  o'clock  to 
relinquish  them  at  twelve-thirty  o'clock  to  those 
who  are  waiting.  As  yet  no  one  has  been  appointed 
to  manage  the  men's  tennis  teams  for  this  year, 
neither  has  a  team  been  picked,  due  to  the  fact  that 
the  courts  have  only  recently  been  in  condition  for 
playing.  The  plan  of  forming  a  tennis  club  is  being 
considered,  which  should  have  many  advantages 
over  the  past  method  of  conducting  tliis  activity. 
Matches  will  be  arranged  with  the  other  tennis 
teams  in  this  vicinity  as  usual. 

Much  interest  is  being  shown  by  the  girls  in 
tennis. 

Three  of  our  courts  have  been  assigned  for  the 
exclusive  use  of  the  girl  members  of  the  Association, 
together  with  a  section  of  the  Club  Hou.se,  which 
includes  showers  and  locker  room. 

X  great  many  new  players  have  taken  up  tennis 
this  .sea.son,  and  are  being  coached  by  Marie  Forbes, 
manager  of  the  teams,  assisted  by  James  Jenkinson. 
At  the  present  time  a  class  of  twelve  is  being  taught 
the  correct  way  to  play  the  game.  Monday  and 
Tuesday  are  beginning  nights.  Anyone  desiring 
to  obtain  instruction  is  invited  to  be  present  on 
either  of  these  nights. 


GIRLS  ORGANIZE  TWILIGHT 
BASEBALL  LEAGUE 

A  Twilight  Baseball  League  has  been  organized 
among  the  girl  meml>ers  of  the  Association.  Five 
teams  have  been  formed  with  the  following  girls  in 
charge:  Carrie  Smith,  Film  Department;  C.  Van 
De  Malle,  Box  Department:  Marion  Burns, 
Buihhng  No.  26;  Hazel  Decker.  Building  No.  40; 
and  Julia  Cushing,  Building  No.  48. 

The  members  of  the  teams  have  been  faithfully 
practicing  for  several  weeks  under  the  direction  of 
Coach  Manhold. 

A  schedule  has  been  prepared,  which  calls  for 
games  to  be  played  on  Monflay.  Wednesday  and 
Friday  evenings  at  5:30  P.  M.  on  the  Athletic  Field, 
the  opening  game  being  played  on  Mondav,  June 
14th. 

The  players  for  the  outdoor  baseball  team  have 
practically  all  been  picked.  Games  are  being 
arranged  with  the  ntlier  Industrial  Girls'  Teams  of 
Rochester. 


POPLL.AR  GIRL  BASKETBALL 
PLAYER  MARRIED 

On  Wednesday,  June  9,  Helen  and  Tyna  Pattison 
entertained  the  members  of  the  Girls'  Basketball 
team  at  the  home  of  their  mother,  in  honor  of 
Florence  Emrich,  who  on  Tuesday,  June  loth,  was 
married  to  John  A.  Nickel.  Florence  was  presented 
with  a  set  of  silver  spoons  and  a  picture  of  the 
1919-1920  basketball  team,  of  which  she  had  been 
such  a  valuable  member.     Best  wishes. 


KODAK  PARK  TEAM  LOOKS  GOOD 

As  part  of  the  opening  day  exercises  of  the 
Eastman  Kodak  Ba.seball  League.  Kodak  Park 
defeated  the  Main  Office  team.  The  team  looked 
fairly  good  in  their  first  attempt,  although  they 
were  weak  in  batting,  a  point  which  we  are  working 
hard  to  overcome,  and  it  is  expected  that  within 
another  week  or  so,  as  a  result  of  hard  practice  and 
a  few  changes  in  the  line-up,  our  aggregation  will 
look  more  like  a  finislied  product. 

"Walt"  Metcalf  is  at  ])resent  laid  up  with  an 
injured  hand,  which  makes  a  very  bad  hole  in  the 
infield,  although  it  is  expected  that  he  will  soon  be 
back  playing  his  position. 

Out  of  the  So  men  who  tried  out  for  the  team,  17 
have  been  picked  to  start  the  season.  The  pitching 
will  be  done  by  "Chuck"  Forstbaeur,  "Rube" 
Weathers.  "Jimmie"  Gallagher,  William  Terharr, 
"Whip"  Gobel.  Earl  Jones,  and  Harold  Jones,  with 
Roy  Kolb  and  Leo  Shepanski  at  the  receiving  end. 
In  the  infield  will  be  seen  "Walt"  Metcalf,  "Walt" 
Keenan,  John  Coogan,  Joe  Minilla,  and  H.  Bircher, 
while  the  outfield  will  be  covered  by  Geo.  Wallace, 
"Art"  Young,  and  H.  Flack.  At  the  present 
time  we  have  one  of  the  best  teams  in  the  League, 
and  with  the  support  of  the  Kodak  fans  will  bring 
home  the  pennant. 

Any  baseball  player  around  the  Plant,  who  has 
not  been  out  and  who  can  help  the  team  in  any  way, 
is  invited  to  get  in  touch  with  Manager  Bircher, 
or  report  for  practice  on  Wednesday  evening.

everything  that  was  necessary  to  make  a  genuine 
party.  The  ball  game  went  along  nicely  until 
Charlie  Bauer  started  introducing  his  "friend"  to

profiteers.  However,  when  the  smoke  cleared  it 
was  discovered  that  the  "Babe  Ruth's,"  "Ty 
Cobb's,"  and  "Tris  Speaker's"  of  Building  No.

masterful  gunning  of  Geo.  Fien  of  Building  No.  21.

Ora  E.  Feary,  holding  the  first  place  in  rank 
as  to  seniority  in  service  of  the  Folmer-Century 
Works  employees,  entered  the  employ  of  the  Century 
Camera  Company,  March  3,  1900,  in  the  capacity 
of  a  leather  worker.  Diligence  and  efficiency  in  her 
work  advanced  her  to  the  position  of  forewoman  of 
her  department  August  9,  1906,  and  she  presides 
over  her  department  today  with  that  same  ability 
and  personal  good  nature  so  characteristic  of  her 
during  the  entire  growth  of  her  department  and 
the  increasing  demands  upon  it. 


No  wonder  Frank  Dannenberg  came  in  smiling  on

They  named  him  Frank  Burton  Dannenberg. 
Congratulations.

FIRE  DRILLS 

Do  you  realize  the  importance  of  Fire  Drills!' 
Have  you  ever  been  in  a  large  building  where 
hundreds  of  people  are  employed,  when  it  was  on 
fire?  If  so,  you  know  the  importance  of  conducting 
our  fire  drills  as  efficiently  as  possible.  We  have 
been  a  little  slow,  perhaps — let's  see  if  we  can't 
speed  up  a  little.  Take  the  training  seriously,  for 
some  day  it  may  stand  you  in  good  stead.

QUOITS 

Genial  Ed.  King  from  the  Credit  Department 
strolled  in  yesterday  and  unburdened  himself  as 
follows:  "There  is  one  thing  this  Company  ought 
to  have  if  they  are  to  keep  in  line  with  the  other 
industrial  plants  of  this  city,  and  that's  a  Quoit 
League.  Yes,  I  know  pitching  quoits  dowTi  by  the 
blacksmith's  shop  with  horseshoes  for  quoits  and  a 
piece  of  broom  handle  for  a  stake  is  considered  the 
one  purely  bucolic  sport.  Try  it  once  with  the 
regulation  four-pound  circular  quoit  at  a  distance 
of  from  sixty  to  seventy-five  feet,  and  you'll  change 
your  tune.  Played  according  to  the  league  rules, 
the  modern  quoit  game  is  a  splendid  exercise,  and  to 
play  well  requires  a  combination  of  skill  and  muscle 
of  no  mean  order." 

Cross  questioned,  Ed.  admitted  that  he  is  some- 
what of  an  artist  at  the  game  himself  and  related 
some  reminiscences  of  games  where  ringers  were 
piled  over  the  top  of  the  stake  and  a  micrometer 
called  into  play  to  settle  disputed  distances. 

Here  is  the  nucleus  for  a  new  branch  of  athletics. 
A  league  is  already  in  existence  in  the  city,  and  it 
is  up  to  the  E.  K.  Co.  to  uphold  their  reputation 
as  a  leader  in  this  branch  of  sport  as  well  as  in  all 
others.

OFFICERS  OF  RECREATION  CLUB 


MAIN  OFFICE  RECREATION  CLUB 

^Do  you  remember  that  we  were  talking  about  a 
Main  Office  Recreation  Club  in  the  last  issue  of 
the  Kodak  Magazine?  Ever  since  then  the  Pro- 
motion Committee  has  been  very  much  on  the 
jump. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Kodak  Office  Repre- 
sentatives, a  constitution,  which  was  drawn  up  by 
a  committee  consisting  of  N.  A.  Van  De  Carr, 
Chairman,  Jack  Leysenaar,  Elizabeth  Euler,  Sally 
Keefe,  Charlie  Johnson,  Charlie  Howard  and 
Freeman  Allen,  was  unanimously  adopted. 

The  Nominating  Committee,  consisting  of  Harry 
Seaman,  Chairman,  Grace  Nolan,  Muriel  Handy, 
Arthur  Bartholomew,  and  Bert  Hayter,  submitted 
prepared  ballots,  and  the  following  officers  were 
elected  by  majority  vote: 

George  Blair Presidenf 

Harry  Seaman Vice-President 

Gus    Sej'fried Treasurer 

Florence  McAnaney Secretary 

With  George  Blair  as  President,  and  with  the 
support  of  the  other  officers,  the  organization  can- 
not help  being  a  winner. 


George  "Fleet  Foot"  Weiss,  or  better  known  as 
"George,"  Miss  Locke's  sunny,  freckled-faced  aid 
with  the  very  broad  smile,  says  that  Jack  Scott  of 
the  Development  is  OK  to  go  to  the  circus  with,  and 
they  had  some  time  when  the  Big  Show  was  in 
town. 

Jack  and  George  started  out  at  5.30  and  first  took 
in  the  side  shows,  then  by  8.30  were  ready  for  the 
main  event.  George  reports  that  the  show  was 
"Awful  Good"  and  that  the  "Acrobaters"  were  the 
best  he  ever  saw. 


Mr.  E.  L.  Shuford  is  recovering  from  an  operation 
for  appendicitis  performed  at  St.  Mary's  Hospital. 
His  trip  to  Rio  de  Janeiro,  Brazil,  has  therefore  been 
postponed,  but  he  will  leave  on  the  SS.  Vauban, 
arriving  at  Rio  in  July,  where  he  will  take  up  his 
duties  as  Manager  of  our  new  house  in  that  city. 
We  wish  him  every  success  in  this  undertaking. 


Our  "Freddy  Dewart"  is  to  sail  on  the  SS. 
Vauban  the  latter  part  of  June  for  Buenos  Aires, 
Argentine,  S.  A.,  to  be  absent  some  time,  to  gain 
a  knowledge  of  Spanish  and  customs  of  the  people. 


The  girls  of  the  Finishing  Department  held  a 
handkerchief  shower  for  Celeste  Cady,  June  oth, 
in  her  office.  She  was  very  much  surprised,  and 
so  were  we,  when  we  heard  that  Celeste  was  leaving 
us  to  become  the  bride  of  Mr.  Paul  Smith  of 
Yonkers,  N.  Y.  We're  glad  Celeste's  dreams  have 
come  true.

$100.00 

This  is  Rosalia  Cirotzki,  one  of  our  girls  in 
the  Testing  and  Packing  Department.  Part  of  her 
work  is  to  transfer  the  serial  numbers  from  the 
cameras  to  the  cartons  in  which  they  are  packed. 
She  packs  400  cameras  a  day,  and  in  some 
instances  she  found  it  difficult  to  determine  with 
ease  the  serial  number  on  the  vertical  Bed  Support 
of  the  Folding  Autographic  Brownies. 

The  supports  are  stamped  with  an  automatic 
numbering  machine  at  the  Camera  Works,  with  the 
serial  numbers  of  the  cameras  of  which  they  are  a 
part.  They  are  then  nickel-plated  and  buffed — 
oftentimes  to  such  an  extent  that  the  numbers  are 
made  illegible.  When  the  camera  is  closed,  the 
supports  form  a  latch  which  locks  the  bed  in  place 
and  the  side  on  which  the  number  is  stamped  is 
invisible. 

Miss  Cirotzki  believed  that  it  would  be  easier 
to  read  the  numbers  if  the  polish  were  eliminated 
on  that  side  of  the  support,  and  also  that  time  and 
labor  would  be  .saved.  Here  was  a  chance  for  a 
suggestion  and  she  secured  a  blank  and  submitted 
the  idea.  A  careful  investigation  was  made,  and 
it  was  found  that  the  buffing  operation  which  was 
causing  the  difficulty  was  unnecessary  and  could  be 
profitably  eliminated.  The  idea  was  adopted  anfl 
Miss  Cirotzki  received  an  initial  award  of  $100.00. 

This  is  a  worth  wliile  suggestion  and  one  where 
the  saving  can  be  figured  down  to  dollars  and  cents, 
and  we  are  only  too  glad  to  pay  for  such  ideas  and 
to  award  them  proportionately. 

On  the  contrary,  such  ideas  as  moving  ii  tele- 
phone from  wall  to  desk  or  changing  the  location 
of  an  electric  fan  are  hardly  suggestions  worthy  of 
any  great  award,  even  though  a  certain  amount  of 
benefit  might  be  derived. 

A  good  suggestion  is  a  good  investment.  Make 
your  suggestions  worth  while. 


LOST— FOUND.' 

For  the  benefit  of  the  newcomers  in  our  midst — 
say  those  who  haven't  been  around  long  enough  to 
buy  Eastman  Kodak  Co.  stock  yet — just  a  little  re- 
minder of  the  way  we  try  to  handle  the  "Lost  and 
Found"  problem. 

Burt  Mohlar's  Office,  Maintenance  Department, 
first  floor.  Building  5,  has  been  designated  as  Head- 
quarters for  Lost  and  Found  articles;  so  if  you  find 
anything  that  doesn't  belong  to  you,  please  turn 
it  in  there;  if  you  lose  something,  tell  them  about  it. 


"JOE" 


When  we  at  the  State  Street  Office  attained  the 
dignity  of  a  six-story  office  building,  with  a  really, 
truly  elevator  in  it,  we  thought  we  had  indeed 
arrived. 

After  the  first  elevator  was  installed,  and  after  a 
short  series  of  other  pilots,  Joe  happened  along  in 
September,  1907,  and  has  been  on  the  job  ever  since. 
Ask  for  Mr.  Wilson,  and  you  might  find  a  whole  lot 
of  folks  in  the  building  who  wouldn't  know;  but  ask 
if  thev  know  "Joe,"  and  thev  will  sav  "Sure."

Vp  to  date,  no  one  has  ever  been  able  to  catch 
Joe  without  a  smile  on  his  face  and  a  pleasant  word 
for  all  comers. 

Joe  no  longer  shoots  a  car  skyward  in  person, 
except  in  cases  of  emergency,  as  he  is  now  the 
official  starter  for  the  cars  in  the  sixteen-story 
office   building.

coming  from   the  Artura  Company. 

"Swing"  plans  to  motor  to  his  grapefruit  grove 
near  Leesburg.  Florida,  where  he  will  make  his 
home.     Our  best  wishes  go  with  him

A  SIL\TR  ANNIVERSARY 


FRANK  O.  STROWGER 

"Something  doing  around  the  Office?  Bet  Frank 
Strowger's  got  a  hand  in  it." 

Frank  Strowger  doesn't  quite  make  the  "born- 
under-the-boiler"  class;  nevertheless,  he's  been 
around  here  for  a  td'hle  long  spell,  at  that,  going  on 
twenty-five  years  now.  He  started  in  as  a  book- 
keeper, but  shifted  soon  to  the  Sales  Department. 
About  once  a  year,  Frank  used  to  make  a  sales 
trip  to  the  Long  Island  and  New  Jersey  dis- 
tricts, calling  en  what  is  known  as  the  "resort 
trade."  Now  he  is  correspondent  in  the  Sales 
Department,  dealing  with  Government  work  and 
aerial  work. 

The  old  saying,  "Once  a  baseball  player,  always  a 
fan,"  holds  good  in  this  case.  In  the  Company's 
first  baseball  league,  which  was  organized  in  1906, 
the  pitching  of  Frank  Strowger  was  a  big  factor  in 
keeping  the  Main  Office  team  in  the  race.  He  still 
maintains  his  l)aseball  interest,  serving  last  year  as 
Assistant  Treasurer,  and  this  year  as  Treasurer  of 
the  Eastman  Kodak  Baseball  League.  Frank  is 
not  a  one-.sport  man,  either.  He  has  a  "rep" 
as  one  of  the  best  bowlers  in  the  city,  and  repre- 
sented the  Main  Office  in  this  sport  as  well. 


A  farewell  dinner  was  tendered  to  Mr.  Young 
Wei  Lee.  Frederick  W.  Dewart  and  E.  C.  Osten,  by 
Mr.  D.  E.  Delgado.  Mr.  Lee,  who  has  been  in  our 
employ  for  several  years  is  leaving  the  country  on 
theSS.  Kaiscrin  Augusta  Victoria,  sailing  the  VH\i 
of  this  month  for  London,  England,  where  he 
is  to  remain  for  a  period  of  two  or  three  months 
with  Kodak,  Limited,  after  which  he  will  go  to 
China  in  the  interests  of  the  company.

The  stork  visited  the  home  of  Albert  J.  Cook 
recently,  and  left  a  bouncing  baby  boy,  official 
weight — eight  pounds  and  nine  ounces.  They  were 
good  cigars.  Doc. 

All  her  Kodak  friends  take  this  opportunity  to 
express  to  Ethel  Williamson  their  sympathy  for  her 
in  the  very  sudden  loss  of  her  father,  Mr.  J.  Emory 
Williamson,  who  died  at  the  Hahnemann  Hospital 
on  May  23rd,  after  an  illness  of  only  one  week. 


We  wish  to  express  to  Miss  Jessie  Wilkinson 
our  sincere  sympathy.  Het  father,  Mr.  .Joseph 
Wilkinson,  of  115  Hampton  Road,  died  on  May 
'2tlth,  after  an  illness  of  considerable  duration. 


The  news  of  Margaret  Geraghty's  death  was 
received  with  sorrow  by  those  who  knew  her  in 
Kodak  Office,  although  with  a  deep  sense  of  relief 
that  her  long  period  of  suffering  was  ended. 

We  believe  that  her  death  leaves  each  of  us  with  a 
new  consciousness  of  the  value  of  life  and  the 
beauty  of  living  for  God  and  for  others. 

We  wish  to  extend  our  deepest  sympathy  to  her 
mother  and  her  sisters. 

Her  Former  Associ.\tes. 

Mrs.  Margaret  Creary,  mother  of  Miss  M.  M. 
Creary,  Sales  Department,  died  at  the  family  home 
in  Rochester  on  June  6th.  We  all  extend  to  Miss 
Creary  our  heartfelt  sympathy. 


Married  Monday,  June  21,  1920.  F.  M.  Bishop  of

Common  of  Lowell,  Mass. 

The  Sales  Department  buzzed  with  excitement 
over  the  weddiiig.  on  May  28th,  of  (,'arrie  A. 
Siebold  and  Arthur  E.  Oriel.  It  was  not  announced 
at  the  office  until  June  7th,  and  we  are  all 
wondering  how  Carrie  kept  the  great  secret  for 
a  whole  week.  Everyone  wishes  them  the  very 
best  of  success. 

Ruth  Delirott.  one  of  our  popular  telephone 
girls,  was  married  to  Oliver  Clements  of  the 
Camera  Works  on  June  2(ith.  Mabel  Dakin

MAY  WALKS 


We  just  could  not  wait,  was  how  the  girls  of  the 
Accessory  and  Cabinet  Departments  put  it,  when 
asked  about  their  May  walk  to  East  Maplewood  on 
May  2nd.  These  young  huskies  had  no  concern 
for  the  street  railway  strike;  this  was  a  May  walk, 
and  with  the  assistance  of  Dorothy  Stubbe's  Pa  and 
his  Reo  6,  experienced  no  difficulty  in  arriving  at 
their  destination,  where  they  were  amply  refreshed 
by  cream  donated  by  George  Rake.  Some  of 
the  girls  thought  Julia  Adams  was  straining  hers,  as 
she  ate  it  with  a  fork,  after  which  everything 
happened.  This  included  swinging,  teetering  and 
tottering.  Some  property  damage  was  done  when 
the  Misses  Perrin  and  Stubbe  broke  the  teeter  which 
was  constructed  for  moderately  heavy  children. 
Only  once  was  Nurse  Cunningham's  official  presence 
missed;  that  was  when  Grace  Sampson  and  Merceda 
Maurer  who  sat  on  a  stump  tried  to  vamp  two 
hornets  and  got  stung.  There  was  a  nest  in  the 
stump.  At  5:00  P.  M.  festivities  ended,  in  which 
every  one  had  had  a  swell  time.  They  are  now  look- 
ing forward  to  other  gatherings  which  are  proving 
such  great  factors  in  promoting  good  fellowship 
among  the  employees. 


On  Saturday.  May  15th,  a  number  of  girls,  with 
their  friends,  from  the  Covering  Department  hiked 
it  to  Durand-Eastraan  Park.  It  being  the  first  May 
walk  of  the  season,  every  one  was  in  fine  shape  to 
withstand  the  hike.  The  air  vras  so  refreshing  that 
all  had  a  tremendous  appetite  and  the  lunch  carried 
by  each  one  readily  disappeared.  After  spending  a 
glorious  afternoon,  the  return  trip  via  the  railroad 
ties  was  made  to  Sea  Breeze  and  home  by  trolley. 
The  committee  in  charge  was  Belle  St?imer  and 
Carrie  Basch. 

Another  May  walk — This  time  the  girls  and  boys 
of  the  Box  Camera  Department  on  Sunday.  May 
^Srd,  journeyed  to  Durand-Eastman  Park.  In 
arranging  for  this  outing  it  was  unanimou.sly  voted 
to  include  the  boys.  Arriving  at  the  Park.  Mrs. 
Kate  Titus  wanted  to  pose  for  a  picture,  Mrs.  Alice 
Greene  started  dinner  and  Anna  Kehoe.  with  the 
assistance  of  the  boys,  started  a  ball  game.  Joe 
Epstein,  mistaking  Anna  Kehoe's  eye  for  a  ball 
club,  knocked  her  out  in  the  first  inning;  this 
naturally  stopped  all  activities  until  Anna  was 
brought  to.  By  this  time  dinner  was  ready  and  all 
having  tremendous  appetites,  the  rest  of  the  day 
was  pretty  well  taken  up  in  eating  lunch.  At  6:00 
P.  M.  they  made  the  trip  home,  all  tired  but  happy.

LONGEST  IX  SERVICE 

Carl  A.  Schultz  of  the  Wood-working  Department 
started  making  cameras  in  1887  for  W.  F.  Carlton 
when  located  in  one  room  of  the  Bee  Hive  building 
on  Acjueduct  Street,  and  soon  outgrowing  this  place 
they  moved  on  North  Water  Street;  in  1895  they 
moved  into  the  present  building.  Mr.  Schultz 
has  established  a  record  which  few  employees  can 
equal  and  of  which  he  is  justly  proud,  losing  only  four 
and  one-half  hours  and  coming  late  once  in  two  years 


If  you  get  up  in  the  wee  small  hours  of  the  morn- 
ing and  see  a  man  strolling  around  on  your  front 
lawn,  do  not  shoot  him  up.  as  "Bob"  Wetzel  of  the 
.\s5embly  Department  says  it  is  wonderful  how 
mushrooms  spring  up  over  night,  and  Bob  is  an 
expert  in  selecting  them. 


Jolin  May  of  the  Assembly  Dei)artinent  has  some 
fine  garden.  Jack  came  in  the  other  morning  all 
smiles  and  of  course  we  wondered  if  it  was  a  boy  or 
girl,  but  it  was  neither.  A  few  days  ago  Jack 
planted  some  beans  and  said  they  were  up  four 
feet  in  three  days. 


Evidently  Walter  Van  Sanford  has  found  the 
right  spot  for  fishing  and  now  he  is  going  to  cut  on 
the  high  cost  of  living.  You  should  have  seen  his 
bathtub  filled  with  fish;  it  looked  like  a  pond  at  the 
State  Fish  Hatchery  and  Walter  says  he  caught 
them  with  a  hook  and  line. 


When  out  some  evening  in  your  "flivver"  for  a 
quiet  spin  with  your  wife  or  best  girl,  and  you  hear 
a  noise  like  Barnuin  &  Bailey's  steam  calliope,  just 
pull  to  one  side  and  let  her  go  by,  as  this  is  a  part  of 
the  equipment  of  our  Buick  which  has  been  missing 
from  in  front  of  the  building  for  the  past  four  months 
and  has  just  returned  with  a  new  coat  of  paint  and 
cream  colored  wheels.  Mr.  Ruttan  says  she  is  some 
baby  since  she  had  her  overhauling  and  rest. 


We  extend  to  Joe  Isaac  of  the  Inspection  Depart- 
ment our  sympathy  on  the  death  of  his  sister, 
Mrs.  Frank  Berry,  who  passed  away  Wednesday, 
June  9th.

Plants. 


The  Premo  Works  boast  of  two  good  rifle  shots, 
Frank  C.  Sherman  and  John  H.  McKenny.  Frank 
Sherman's  percentage  was  99. G  and  John  McKenny's 
percentage  was  91. '2.  Both  these  men  are  members 
of  the  Citizens  Rifle  and  Revolver  Club  of  Rochester.

THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


We  have  it  on  good  authority  that  Norman  Huyck 
of  the  Purchasing  Department  is  not  only  beautiful, 
but  is  a  victim  of  habit.  We  saw  he  "huycked"  it 
above  the  audience  at  the  Victoria  Theater  in  an 
airplane  when  Mile.  Theo  and  her  dandies  were 
playing  there.  Now  the  report  is  that  he  is  in  a 
moving  picture  production  which  was  staged  at 
the  same  theater  a  few  weeks  ago. 


Virginia  Wright  of  the  Covering  Department  is 
back  with  us.  Virginia  says  there  is  no  place  like 
the  Premo.     We  are  glad  you  like  us  so  well. 


"Mike"  Strebler  of  the  Receiving  Department 
says  Kodak  Park  is  all  wrong  in  saying  that  they 
are  pioneers  in  introducing  the  overalls  idea.  "Mike" 
says  he  has  worn  them  all  his  life  and  he  is  no  baby. 

Charles  Young  of  the  Assembly  Department  says 
if  you  want  to  get  your  name  in  the  Kodak  Magazine 
just  buy  a  Ford.  Charles,  what's  the  name  of  the 
one  we  saw  you  pushing  down  Gregory  Street. 


Concentration  of  thought  is  of  ten  difficult  of  attain- 
ment; but  Nicholas  Decker  has  adopted  a  unique 
method  of  accomplishing  this  feat.  He  recently 
appeared  at  work  with  his  head  tied  to  his  shoulders 
by  means  of  a  thick  cloth,  thus  enabling  him  to 
keep  his  head  straight  to  the  front.  Here's  hoping, 
Nick,  that  you  have  recovered  from  your  stiff  neck 
before  this  issue  goes  to  print. 

John  H.  McKenny,  Assistant  Superintendent,  has 
opened  a  new  department  within  his  office  which  is 
known  as  theFloralDepartment,  audit  is  in  charge  of 
Alice  Garrett,  who,  having  pursued  the  study  of 
Botany,  is  eminently  cjualified  to  answer  any  ques- 
tions concerning  the  petals,  leaves  and  stems. 
There  will  be  found  on  display  only  the  choicest 
flowers  in  season,  sometimes  even  varieties  out  of 
season,  such  as  snowballs  in  midsummer. 


Charles  Loock  of  the  Assembly  Department  says 
he  is  through  with  the  rent  profiteers.  Charles 
bought  a  house  at  18  Chase  Street,  Lincoln  Park. 


The  Green  sisters  of  the  Lacquering  Department, 
Ethel  and  Marguerite,  say  they  are  going  to  help 
produce  the  girls  to  challenge  the  "Flying  Squadron" 
of  the  Main  Office.  Good!  We  have  the  photographer 
waiting. 


Jack  Lyons  of  the  Plant  Maintenance  Department 
will  enter  into  a  life  contract  with  Tessie  Rickard 
of  the  Cost  and  Pay  Roll  Department.  Now  listen, 
folks,  we  hear  the  big  day  is  coming  off  some  time 
in  September,  so  get  ready  for  a  treat  and  for 
goodness'  sake  keep  it  a  secret ! 


Florence  Walker  (Irene  Castle)  of  the  Box  Camera 
Department  in  announcing  her  engagement  to 
Frederick  Kronsbein,  Jr.,  showed  us  her  sparkler. 
It  is  quite  evident  Florence  will  not  find  it  necessary 
to  learn  to  write  left-handed  to  show  up  the  ring. 


Will  some  one  please  apply  to  the  Common 
Council  for  the  broadening  of  South  Street  adjoining 
our  property  so  that  Charles  Young  of  the  Tool 
Department  may  be  able  to  swing  his  seven-pas- 
senger Hupmobile  in  to.  the  yard  without  the  neces- 
sity of  backing  around  and  taking  a  part  of  the 
curb  with  him. 


The  "Jolly  Eleven,"  consisting  of  a  number  of 
Premo  girls,  held  a  dance  in  the  Union  League  Hall, 
May  7th.  This  was  one  of  the  most  successful 
dances  the  "Jolly  Eleven"  ever  held,  over  two 
hundred  attending,  and  all  arrangements  being 
made  and  carried  out  by  the  girls.  After  paying  all 
bills  a  snug  little  sum  was  left,  which  they  say  will 
help  them  to  buy  their  summer  bathing  suits. 


No  I  It  is  not  the  blasting  in  the  river  for  the

FANFARE  of  trumpets,  brass  bands, 
parades,  and  all  the  paraphernalia  of 
formality  appeared  at  Kodak  Park  on 
Saturday,  June  5th,  to  usher  in  the  second 
season  of  the  Eastman  Kodak  Baseball 
League.  Under  the  direction  of  Wilbur  G. 
Woodams,  Hawk-Eye,  Chairman  of  the 
Opening  Day  Committee,  the  players  of  the 
League,  numbering  about  seventy-five, 
obeyed  the  command  to  "fall  in"  in  front 
of  Fred  Brehm,  while  he  took  the  Cirkut 
picture  shown  on  pages  '24  and  25.  Then, 
with  Frank  M.  Crouch  acting  as  Chief 


F.  M.  CROUCH  at  bat

To  open  up  the  season,  Harry  D.  Haiglit, 
President  of  the  League,  took  the  mound, 
with  Jack  Robertson  at  the  bat,  and  A.  A. 
Ruttan  catching.  F.  L.  Higgins  held 
down  fir.st  base,  with  P.  S.  Wilcox  at 
second,  W.  F.  Folmer  at  third,  and  J.  S. 
Haste  at  short-stop.  After  a  number  of 
wild  pitches  and  vain  swings.  Jack 
Robertson  finally  drove  one  through 
short,  and  galloped  all  the  way  around 
while  the  infield  was  playing  acrobat  with 
the  horsehide.  Then,  Frank  Crouch 
almost   knocked   the   cover   off   the   ball

with  a  drive  which  ((uite  upset  Mr. 
Folmer's  equiHbrium  and  the  season  was 
on. 

Five-inning  games  cannot,  of  course, 
be  taken  as  an  accurate  criterion,  but  the 
brand  of  ball  put  up  Opening  Day  seems 
to  guarantee  some  mighty  fast  battles  in 
the    League    this    season.  Hawk-Eye 

registered  the  first  shut-out  of  the  season, 
bunching  hits  in  the  fourth  inning  to  beat 
Premo  3 — 0.  Kodak  Park  and  the  Main 
Office  put  on  a  beautiful  pitching  duel,  with 
mound-work  which  would  have  looked 
good  in  a  midsummer  game.  Errors  lost 
the  game  for  the  Main  Office,  the  score 
being  2 — 1.  The  final  battle  between 
Camera  Works  and  Folmer-Century  was 
a    little    looser.   Camera   Works  winning 

In  spite  of  the  raw,  cold  day,  and  very 
threatening  clouds,  about  1000  fans  came 
out  for  one  or  another  of  the  three  games.

FORE  ! 

Someone  remarked  the  other  day  that 
the  Golf  Championship  of  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company  has  never  been  settled, 
and  one  of  his  listeners  suggested  that  a 
tournament   be  run   off   to   decide   it. 

The  Editor  is  "willin',".so  if  you  are 
a  golfer  or  even  play  at  the  game,  send 
in  your  name  and  departmental  location 
to  the  Editor  sometime  between  now  and 
July  10th,  and  we  will  see  what  can  be 
done  about  fixing  up  a  tournament. 


KODAK  ALL-STAR  TEAM  GETS 
STARTED 

The  Kodak's  first  season  in  the  semi- 
pro  baseball  realm  was  scheduled  to  open 
Sunday,  June  20th,  with  Fted  Blum's 
strong  K.  of  C.  Team  opposing  the  cream 
of  the  Kodak  League  on  the  Kodak  Park 
diamond. 

For  the  second  game  of  the  season. 
Manager  Ed.  Goodridge  had  booked  the 
Norwich  Clothes  Team  which  lost  its 
opening  game  5 — 4  to  the  K.  of  C.  outfit. 

Later  games  arranged  by  Business 
Manager  Goodridge  include  a  holiday  trip 
over  July  3rd,  4th  and  5th,  a  game  in 
Syracuse  on  July  3rd  and  games  on  July 
4th  and  5th  against  the  St.  Regis  Athletic 
Club  at  Deferiet.  On  July  11th  the 
Hewitts,  Champions  of  Buffalo,  are  com- 
ing here  for  a  game  at  Kodak  Park,  while 
on  August  27th  the  Kodak  Team  will  play 
the  Ingersoll-Rand  Co.  at  Painted  Post. 


TENNIS  TOURNAMENT 

Tennis  players  throughout  the  Com- 
pany are  putting  up  their  holler,  too. 
They  see  no  reason  why,  if  there  is  going 
to  be  a  Kodak  Golf  Champion,  there 
ought  not  to  be  a  Tennis  Champion  as 
well.  In  fact,  some  of  them  think  they 
can  turn  in  a  longer  list  of  entries  for 
such  a  tournament  than  can  followers  of 
the  little  white  pill. 

If  this  hits  you,  send  your  entry  in  to 
the  Editor  anv  time  before  Julv  10th.

T  so  happens  in  this  world  that  a  great 
many  people  have  had  ideas,  knowl- 
edge of  how^  to  do  things  and  a 
possibility  to  do,  but  they  have  not 
taken  action.  They  have  thought  of 
schemes;  have  worked  out  plans,  roughly;  have 
considered  that  this  or  that  was  the  way  to  ac- 
complish certain  things;  but  they  have  not  tried 
them  out  They  have  put  them  ofl  until  to- 
morrow. A  great  element  in  any  success,  there- 
fore, is  the  doing  of  that  thing  promptly  which 
seems  to  be  worth  while.  Some  ot  the  things 
carried  out  will  prove  successful,  others  may  not; 
but  the  very  doing  of  them  will  suggest  better 
schemes,  will  animate  everybody  around  to  make 
suggestions  and  to  do  things.  It  is  not  enough 
to  think  that  a  thing  ought  to  be  done;  the 
thinking  is  only  valuable  when  the  thing  is  done.

WHERE  THE  KODAKS  AND  BROWNIES  ARE  MADE 


TO  almost  everyone  there  is  a  certain 
fascination  in  the  working  of  any 
well  made  machine  or  instrument,  and 
likewise  it  is  equally  interesting  to 
watch  the  working  of  the  machines 
which  help  in  producing  them. 

AATien  you  examine  a  Kodak  you 
cannot  help  but  admire  the  precision 
with  which  each  part  works  and  how  each 
part  fits  accurately  into  the  other  parts. 

In  the  Camera  Works  where  are 
produced  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
Kodaks  and  Brownies  each  year,  to 
say  nothing  of  the  many  other  things 
there  manufactured,  will  be  found  many 
interesting  stories.  Manufacturing  in 
such  large  quantities  requires  the  aid 
of  many  special  machines,  most  of 
which  have  been  invented  and  built 
in  the  Camera  Works  by  our  own 
engineers  and  workmen. 

Just  to  afford  you  some  idea  as  to 
the  hugeness  of  the  operations  in  the 
Camera  Works,  let  us  give  you  a  few 
figures  as  to  the  amount  of  raw  material 
used  during  the  past  year:  Aluminum, 
477,771  pounds;  brass,  1,918,967  pounds; 
steel.  1,. 312,029  pounds;  leather.  2,229,240 
square  feet,  and  lumber,  1.. 300. 000  board 
feet. 

Now  before  any  device  can  be  produced 
it  has  to  be  invented  and  designed, 
and  accurate  plans  for  its  manufacture 
put  into  the  hands  of  the  workmen. 
So,  if  you  are  to  take  a  trij)  through 
the  Camera  Works  it  will  be  well  to 
start    in    the    experimental    department. 

We  don't  believe  in  standing  still  or 
in  travelling  on  past  performances,  so 
we  have  a  large  staff  of  inventors  and 
expert  designers  who  are  continually 
on  the  lookout  for  new  wrinkles  and 
ideas.     The   heads   of   all   the   operating 


departments  work  hand  in  hand  with 
the  experimental  staff  so  any  improve- 
ments, or  new  models,  can  speedily  and 
efficiently  be  produced. 


STAMPING  CAMERA  FRAMES 
Illustration  No.  1 

Our  suggestion  system  plays  an 
important  part  as  we  receive  many  new 
and  excellent  ideas  from  the  employees 
themselves.  All  ideas  from  department 
heads  and  other  employees  are  given  a 
thorough  tryout  in  the  experimental 
department.  If  favorably  passed  upon 
the  estimating  department  takes  a  hand, 
and  if  the  idea  is  found  practicalile 
the  models  and  plans  go  back  to  the 
experimental  dojKirtment  for  the  final 
planning. 

Next  come  the  plans  and  the  manu- 
facture of  the  various  tools  and  dies. 
which  are  frequently  quite  an  item.

The  handling  of  raw  stock  in  such 
large  amounts  requires  some  planning, 
and  all  flat  stock,  such  as  sheets  of 
steel,  aluminum,  brass,  and  leather,  is 
cut  in  sizes  that  will  give  the  least  weight 
and  size  for  ease  in  stamping. 

Several  batteries  of  huge  punch  presses 
are  required  to  stamp  out  the  various 
metal  parts.  The  largest  battery,  133 
machines,  is  in  one  of  the  basements, 
and  is  used  for  stamping  the  larger 
parts,  while  another  battery  of  twenty- 
five  machines  turns  out  the  small  parts 
for  shutters;  another  series  of  punch 
presses  is  used  for  stamping  out  leather. 

Illustration  Xo.  1  shows  one  of  tiie 
large  presses  for  punching  camera  frames. 

For  the  Autographic  Brownies  the 
frames,  fronts  and  bed  plates  are  of 
steel,  while  in  the  better  and  larger 
models  of  Kodaks  they  are  of  aluminum. 

To  protect  the  workmen  on  these 
pre.s.ses  a  special  guard  is  provided  as 
shown,    which    automatically    pas.ses    at 


right  angles  to  the  workman's  arm  and 
pushes  it  away  from  the  die  when  the 
punch     is     placed     in     operation.     This

guard  was  devised  in  the  Camera  Works, 
and  is  but  one  of  the  many  safety  devices 
in  use.  Besides  the  })arts  stamped  out 
by  the  punch  presses,  many  round  parts, 
such  as  small  screws,  rivets,  bushings, 
etc.,  are  turned  out  by  automatic  screw 
machines  (a  part  of  a  battery  of  135  of 
these  machines  is  shown  in  illustration 
No.  2). 

These  machines  are  intricate  affairs, 
each  equipped  with  special  attachments 
so  that  it  can  automatically  thread  and 
accurately  turn  to  correct  dimensions 
any  part  desired  in  large  quantities. 
The  raw  stock  in  the  form  of  rods  is 
fed    through    long   pipes    as    shown    and 


turned  into  the  numerous  parts,  with 
but  little  attention  from  the  attendants. 
Tlie  normal  weekly  ()ut])ut  of  these 
machines  is  one  milhon  parts,  and  this 
fjuantity  is  fretjuently  increased  to  a 
million  and  a  half  parts. 

In  addition  there  is  a  large  battery  of 
milling  and  drilling  machines  on  which 
the  final  operations  on  the  flat  and 
round  parts  are  performed.  Many  of  the 
exposed  metal  parts  on  the  cameras  are 
nickeled.  The  parts  to  be  nickeled  are 
[)iaced  in  large  tanks  as  shown  in  illustra- 
tion No.  3.  These  tanks  contain  a  special 
solution,  together  with  bars  of  nickel. 
Electric  energy  is  made  to  pass  through

this  solution  which  deposits  the  nickel 
on  the  metal  parts  suspended  in  the 
tanks.  Before  being  placed  in  the  nickel 
solution,  the  parts  are  dipped  in  a 
pickling  bath,  as  it  is  called,  to  remove 
oil  and  other  foreign  matter.  After 
being  nickeled  the  parts  are  buffed  and 
polished  with  rouge. 

Those  metal  parts  which  are  a  part 
of  the  interior  of  the  camera  and  are 
not  nickeled  are  given  a  coating  of  japan. 
One  of  the  latest  methods  of  japanning 
is  employed,  as  shown  in  illustration 
No.  6,  the  japan  being  sprayed  on  in 
sjjecial  hoods.  This  method  is  far  more 
efficient  than  coating  by  hand,  and  is 
much  healthier  for  the  employees.  After 
tlie  parts  are  japanned  they  are  placed 
in  large  ovens,  (see  illustration  No.  7,) 
and  baked  for  a  definite  period.

One  of  the  most  interesting  processes 
is  the  making  of  the  bellows;  illustration 
No.  4  show^s  one  of  the  bellows-making 
rooms. 

A  number  of  specially  devised  auto- 
matic machines  are  used  in  bellows 
making,  which  not  only  increases  the 
output  but  provides  absolute  uniformity. 

The  woodworking  department  is  much 
the  same  as  any  other  woodshop: 
illustration  No.  8  shows  one  of  the 
shaping  machines  where  the  wooden 
top  and  bottom  parts  of  the  Kodak 
are  made.  On  the  Special  Kodaks  these 
tops  and  bottoms  are  made  of  Bakelite 
composition. 

Shutter  making  demands  a  high  degree 
of  skill,  as  it  is  easily  on  a  par  with 
watch  making.  One  of  the  shutter 
assembling  rooms  is  shown  in  illustration 
Xo.  .5. 

In  the  assembling  rooms  the  Kodak 
frames  go  from  bench  to  bench,  and 
down  one  aisle  and  up  another,  picking 
up  the  various  parts  as  they  go  until  at 
last  they  become  the  finished  article. 

From  the  assembling  rooms  the  cameras 
go  to  the  inspection  department  where 
each  one  is  carefully  examined  and 
tested.      See  illustration  Xo.  9. 

From  the  inspection  department,  the 
cameras  go  to  the  packing  and  shipping 
department  where  they  are  again  in- 
spected before  being  packed  in  a  carton 
for  deliverv. 


Besides  these  final  inspections,  every 
department  has  what  is  called  an  incoming 
and  outgoing  inspection.  By  means  of 
these  repeated  inspections  and  by  the 
most  careful  selection  of  every  bit  of 
raw  material  we  are  assured  of  a 
uniformly  high  class  product;  good 
workmanship  is  a  habit  with  us. 

Before  leaving  the  Camera  Works, 
let  us  have  a  look  at  the  general  offices 
located  on  the  top  floor  of  the  new 
addition  on  the  Piatt  Street  side;  see

All  through,  the  Camera  Works  is  a 
pretty  good  place  to  work,  don't  you 
think? 


FALL  IX! 

Here's  a  chance  for  any  of  you  fellows 
who  want  to  get  back  into  the  "Squads 
East  and  W^est"  atmosphere  once  in  a 
while  for  a  little  diversion.  There  are 
still  a  few  vacancies  in  the  ranks  of  the 
Second  Ambulance  Company  of  the 
Xational  Guard.  Headquarters  of  this 
organization  are  in  the  Xew  York  State 
Armory,  Main  Street  East.  Drills  (foot 
and  mounted)  are  held  one  night  each 
week,  and  training  also  includes  a  course 
of  lectures  on  first  aid. 

The  term  of  enlistment  is  three  years 
except  for  Veterans  of  the  World  War, 
who  may  sign  up  for  a  twelve-month 
period. 


FRANCE,  THE  THRIFTIEST  OF  NATIONS 
There  is  scarcely  a  person — man,  wom- 
an or  child — in  France  who  is  not  an  owjier 
of  something.  And  these  days  a  nation 
of  OWX'ERS  is  in  a  mighty  enviable 
position.  Fifty-seven  per  cent  of  the 
depositors  in  Savings  Banks  are  women. 
In  our  own  Postal  Savings  System  only 
41%  are  American  born,  and  they  own 
but  28%  of  the  money  on  deposit.  The 
rest  belongs  to  foreigners. 

Of  the  39,000,000  people  in  France 
more  than  15,000,000  have  Savings  Banks 
accounts.  Of  the  100,000,000  people  in 
America  there  are  perhaps  9,000,000 
with  savings  accounts.

We  publish  sixteen  thousand  copies 
of  the  Kodak  Magazine  each  month, 
so  you  see  the  editor  thus  has  sixteen 
thousand  and  one  bosses;  each  individual 
who  reads  it,  and  the  company  taken 
as  a  unit. 

So,  to  make  the  publication  worth 
while  to  the  company  which  pays  for  it, 
it  must  be  worth  while  to  the  majority 
of  its  readers. 

Now^  you  will  find  a  good  many  different 
tastes,  ideas  and  opinions — to  say  nothing 
of  widely  varying  degrees  of  experience, 
with  this  number  of  readers,  so  you  see 
the  editor  has  to  carefully  weigh  the 
contents  of  each  issue  to  provide  a  well 
balanced  and  palatable  ration. 

Forty  years  ago,  and  perhaps  even 
less,  the  editor  was  suppo.sed  to  be,  and 
was  in  many  instances,  a  moulder  of 
opinion,  and  the  publications  of  that 
day  held  their  readers  largely  through 
the  interest  in  the  editorial  pages.  Today, 
it  is  more  the  mission  of  the  editor 
to  collect  and  present  in  pleasing  shape 
such  items  of  interest,  or  food  for  thought, 
as  will  have  the  greatest  appeal  to  his 
readers.     Quite  possibly,  and  rightly  too. 


an  editorial  can  be  made  to  lead  its 
readers  into  a  new  and  beneficial  train 
of  thought,  but  it  must  be  deftly 
accomplished. 

So,  in  our  editorial  pages  we  are 
going  to  keep  away  from  the  "be  good 
and  you'll  be  happy"  stuff;  there  will 
be,  on  occasion,  a  serious  thought  but 
it  will  be  a  constructive  one.  showing 
you  how  you  can  accomplish  something 
of  benefit  to  yourself,  but  not  how  you 
might  have  been  this  or  that  if  you  had 
onlv  done  so  and  so. 


Athletic  and  recreational  pro.spects 
are  pretty  bright  all  through  the  Kodak 
organization. 

Baseball  is  going  strong,  tennis  likewise, 
and  swimming  ditto.  The  telephone  of 
the  Athletic  Editor  rings  constantly. 

The  Editor-in-chief  has  been  challenged 
for  three  golf  matches,  has  attended 
two  department  picnics  and  accepted 
invitations  for  two  more.  It's  a  great 
life! 


"THE  LINE  IS  BUSY" 

We  have  no  exact  figures  at  hand,  but 
you  can  well  imagine  how^  many  hundreds 
of  calls  are  put  through  our  various  plant 
telephone  exchanges  every  day.  The 
majority  of  these  calls  are  business  calls; 
but  on  the  other  hand  a  certain  percent- 
age is  purely  personal. 

Between  the  hours  of  ten  in  the  morning 
and  twelve  o'clock  noon,  and  from  three- 
thirty  to  five-thirty  in  the  afternoon  are 
the  rush  hours  in  our  exchanges. 

Saturday,  all  morning,  is  a  particularly 
busy  time,  as  very  many  "rush"  orders 
are  received  for  immediate  shipment. 

In  the  interest  of  good  service,  won't 
you  please  make  all  your  telephone  con- 
versation as  brief  as  is  consistent  with 
courtesy,  and  avoid,  as  much  as  possible, 
using  the  phones  for  personal  messages 
during  the  rush  hours.

OUR  MEDICAL  STAFF 


In  the  June  issue  we  afforded  you  a 
pretty  clear  idea  of  how  Dr.  Sawyer,  our 
Medical  Director,  believes  our  Medical 
Department  should  be  conducted. 

Selecting  a  staff  of  doctors  for  an 
organization  such  as  ours  is  no  small 
task.  Not  only  must  every  member  be 
thoroughly  up  in  everything  that  pertains 
to  his  profession,  but  in  addition  he 
must  be  a  human  being — a  "regular 
fellow" — in  order  to  work  in  harmony 
with  our  ideas,  and  make  his  work 
worth  while  in  its  fullest  sense. 

We  feel  that  our  staff  comes  up  to 
these  requirements  fully,  so  allow  us  to 
introduce  to  you  first.  Dr.  B.  J.  Slater, 
a  graduate  of  the  Army  Medical  School, 
who  was  in  service  for  two  years.  He 
was  Chief  Examiner  of  the  Chief  of 
Engineers  Office,  Washington,  and 
Medical  Examiner  for  the  Engineers 
Examining  Board. 

Dr.  R.  B.  Crain  comes  to  us  from  a 
course  in  Industrial  Hvgiene  at  Harvard 


School.  Dr.  Crain  was  in  Belgium  and 
France  and  experienced  very  active 
service  in  the  fighting  area.  He  was 
discharged  with  the  rank  of  Captain. 

Dr.  A.  D.  Kaiser  also  saw  military 
service,  as  he  was  on  duty  with  Base 
Hospital  19  in  France  and  later  at 
Bordeaux.  He  has  charge  of  the 
Children's  Department,  Rochester  Gen- 
eral Hospital. 

Dr.  G.  P.  Thomas  will  have  been  with 
us  three  years  this  fall.  He  graduated 
from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania 
Medical  School  in  1901 ;  is  Medical 
Officer  of  Troop  H. 

Dr.  Robert  W.  Angevine  has  had  a 
very  wide  experience  in  chemistry,  hospi- 
tal service,  and  surgery.  He  enlisted 
as  a  private  in  November,  1917, 
commissioned  a  Captain  in  the  U.  S. 
Medical  Dejjartment  and  discharged 
from  service  in   February,   1919. 

We  know  you  are  going  to  like  all  of 
these  men,  and  we  are  glad  to  introduce 
them  to  you.     (See  page  2.)

FOR  DISTINGUISHED  SERVICE

The¥v^  Department  of 
THE  UNITED  STATES  OF  AMERICA 

RECOGNIZES  IN  THIS  AWARD  FOR  DISTINGUISHED  SERVICE 

THE  LOYAETY  ENERGY  AND  EFFICIENCY  IN  THE  PERFORMANCE 

OF    THE  W.^R  WORK  BY  WHICH 

AIDED  MATERIALLY  IN  OBTAINING  VICTORY  FOR  THE  ARMS 

OF  THE  United  States  of  America  in  the  war  with 

THE  Imperl\l  German  Government  and  the  Imperial 

AND  Royal  AusTRO-HuNGARL^N  Government 


iSsCRSrAFY    OF    tt^* 


MOST  of  us  would  rather  not  talk 
about  the  war,  or  even  think 
about  it — except  to  find  some  means 
of  solving  some  of  its  many  after- 
problems.  But  there  are  exceptions; 
we  took  an  immense  pride  in  our  service 
flags  at  the  different  plants  and  in  the 
knowledge  that  so  many  of  our  boys  were 
doing  their  part,  and  we  did  our  individual 
best  to  help  win  the  war. 

We  knew,  in  a  vague  sort  of  a  way, 
that  the  company  was  engaged  in  various 
war  activities,  but  few  realized  to  what 
extent  and  just  what  was  accom- 
plished. 

So  it  is  \<\\\\  a  feeling  of  just  pride 
in  our  organization  that  we  reproduce  the 
citation  for  distinguished  service  awarded 
the  company  by  the  War  Department, 
and  recount  in  a  brief  way  what  we  were 
able  to  accomplish. 


We  remember  the  United  States  School 
of  Aerial  Photography  at  Kodak  Park, 
and  how  we  placed  at  the  Govern- 
ment's disposal  buildings  and  facilities 
for  the  accommodation  of  one  thousand 
students,  and  supplied  a  corps  of  our 
experts  to  act  as  instructors.  A  part 
of  the  Research  Laboratory  was  also 
turned  over  to  the  Government  for  the 
study  of  problems  connected  with  aerial 
photography,  marine  camouflage  and 
the  like.  The  work  of  the  laboratory 
also  included  many  other  problems, 
such  as  the  designing  of  non-dimming 
eye  pieces  for  use  with  gas  masks,  filters 
for  signalling  systems,  and  the  com- 
pounding of  special  emulsions.  A  fuel 
soh-ing  the  problem  of  intense  heat 
without  smoke  was 
laboratory   discoveries. 

We    also    produced 
for    the   varnishing    of 


another     of     our 


cellulose    acetate 
aeroplane    wings

THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


in  immense  quantity,  we  being  the  only 
concern  in  the  country  with  the  necessary 
skill  and  equipment. 

We  also  designed  and  manufactured 
telescopic  sights  for  aeroplane  guns, 
and  special  lenses  for  air  photography. 
The  hand  and  automatic  models  of 
aeroplane  cameras  designed  by  our  experts 
opened  a  new  era  for  air  photography. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  things 
we  produced  was  the  gvm  camera.  In 
this  invention  the  camera  was  attached 
to  the  air  man's  gun  and  instead  of 
recording  the  hits  on  a  target  the  target 
itself  was  recorded  on  the  air  man's 
film.  With  each  "shot"  a  picture  was 
made  showing  the  exact  position  of  the 
opponent's  plane  in  the  field;  this  was 
of  immense  value  in  training  aerial 
gunners.  This  camera  was  likewise 
provided  with  a  watch  attachment  which 
showed  the  precise  moment  of  firing 
within  a  fraction  of  a  second,  and  so 
avoiding  any  question  as  to  who  made 
the  first  hit. 

Our  manufacturing  resources  were 
likewise  equal  to  the  extraordinary 
demands  created  by  the  war  for  films, 
plates,  chemicals,  dyes,  photographic 
papers,  cameras  and  other  products. 
For  many  of  these  things  the  Government 
was  absolutely  dependent  uj)on  us. 


a  vase;  somehow  it  got  broken,  and  into 
a  waste  basket  the  pieces  went. 


DO  INTO  OTHERS 


Ugh  I  you  sputtery,  scratchy  thing," 
and  with  a  tug  you  yank  out  the  offending 
pen  point  and  toss  it  into  the  convenient 
waste  basket. 

"Waste"  basket  is  right,  for  it  is  the 
receptacle  not  only  for  things  no  longer 
useful,  but  when  improperly  used  becomes 
a  time  waster  as  well. 

In  go  worn  out  pen  points,  a  bunch 
of  old  papers  pinned  together,  perhaps 
the  broken  pieces  of  a  pocket  mirror, 
or  a  jagged  piece  of  tin  or  other  sharp 
metal. 

Xot  so  long  ago,  over  on  one  of  the 
desks  in  the  Premo  factory,  there  reposed 


THESE  ARE  THE  PIECES 


All  the  dangerous  things  in  a  waste 
basket  usually  succeed  in  successfully 
concealing  themselves  underneath  and 
between  the  waste  paper,  and  other 
lawful  contents  of  the  basket. 

After  working  hours,  when  the  light 
is  none  too  good,  in  comes  some  one 
of  the  cleaning  force.  Perhaps  a  hand 
comes  in  contact  with  a  corroded  pen- 
point  or  a  bit  of  broken  glass,  examination 
shows  a  cut  or  a  scratch,  but  no  time 
to  stop  now.  the  nurse  has  gone  home 
anyway,  so  the  hand  has  to  take  a  chance. 

Possibly  no  harm  beyond  a  temporary 
inconvenience  results,  but  quite  possibly 
the  next  morning  the  hand  is  swollen 
and  painful. 

Severe  cases  of  blood  poisoning  have 
resulted  from  such  causes — and  due 
directly  to  someone's  thoughtlessness. 

Now  it  hurts  Tom,  or  Pete,  or  Mary 
of  the  cleaning  force  just  as  much  as  it 
would  any  of  the  rest  of  us  to  be  injured. 
Lost  time  or  illness  is  a  serious  misfortune 
to  them,  even  if  of  short  duration,  and  a 
calamity  if  the  injury  proves  severe. 

Just  put  yourself  in  tlie  place  of  these 
workers  who  come  in  after  you  have 
gone  home — and  keep  out  of  the  waste 
baskets  any  and  everything  that  might 
possibly  do  them  harm.

IS  THE  HEALTH  OF  YOUR  CHILD  WORTH 
FIVE  DOLLARS  ? 

IF  YOU  HAVE  CHILDREN'  UNDER  THE  AGE  OF  SIXTEEN.  READ  THIS 


EVERY  child  is  entitled  to  the  firmest 
possible  foundation  of  good  health. 

Without  this  foundation,  the  child  re- 
mains handicapped  throughout  life;  his 
education  is  retarded  and  when  the  work- 
ing period  is  reached,  he  suffers  losses 
through  absence  from  duty. 

Has  your  child  the  proper  foundation? 

Many  children  suffer  from  nose  and 
throat  afflictions,  seemingly  of  little  con- 
sequence at  the  time,  but  which  later 
develop  into  serious  maladies  such  as 
tonsilitis,  quinsy,  tuberculosis,  diphtheria, 
rheumatism,  pneumonia,  etc. 

Has  the  child  a  healthy  throat.^  Is  the 
nose  free  and  unobstructed  and  able  to 
perform  the  full  duty,  which  is  of  the 
utmost  importance  to  both  mental  and 
physical  health  and  vigor? 

Only  an  expert  can  determine,  unless 
the  diseased  condition  is  extreme. 

Your  interest  in  your  child  is  your 
greatest  interest,  and  you  naturally  would 
want  only  the  most  expert  opinion  and 
attention. 

Perhaps  you  do  not  feel  able  just  now 
to  pay  for  such  service. 

Here  is  your  opportunity  to  know:  It 
will  cost  you  nothing  to  find  out  whether 
or  not  your  child  has  such  a  handicap. 
And  if  he  has,  the  cost  for  an  operation 
will  be  but  $5.00. 

The  Rochester  Dental  Dispensary  rea- 


lizes the  great  need  for  this  service  to  the 
children  of  Rochester.  The  Trustees  of 
the  Dispensary  have  arranged  to  have  a 
staff  of  the  best  surgeons  and  nurses  in 
attendance  during  this  month  for  the 
purpose  of  examining  and,  when  neces- 
sary, performing  operations  for  the  re- 
moval of  tonsils  and  adenoids. 

If,  upon  examination  at  the  Dispensary, 
the  child's  throat  is  found  to  be  in  a 
healthy  condition,  there  will  be  no  charge 
whatsoever,  and  if  an  operation  is  neces- 
sary, the  charge  will  be  but  five  dollars, 
which  is  about  half  the  cost  to  the 
Dispensary. 

Do  not  neglect  this  opportunity.  Ade- 
noids are  quite  common,  and  are  the  cause 
of  more  discomfort  and  more  ailments 
than  any  other  diseased  condition  of  child- 
hood. Diseased  tonsils  are  almost  certain 
to  lead  to  serious  future  ailments. 

If  an  operation  is  necessary,  now  is 
the  best  time  of  the  year  to  have  it  per- 
formed, as  there  is  much  less  risk  of 
catching  cold  and.  in  addition,  your  child 
can  return  to  school  in  shape  to  make  the 
best  of  his  opportunities. 

The  nurse  in  the  Medical  Department 
of  your  plant  will  afford  full  particulars: 
see  her  at  the  earliest  opportunity. 

Remember,  the  charge  for  the  operation, 
if  an  operation  is  necessary,  is  but  five 
dollars.     The  examination  is  free. 


INCREASE  IN  SAVINGS 
Former  U.  S.  Secretary  of  Commerce 
Wm.  C.  Redfield  says:  "A  nation  of 
people  that  is  increasing  its  savings 
at  the  rate  of  a  million  dollars  a  day  is 
not  a  nation  in  which  there  is  .serious 
widespread  economic  distress." 


The  very  habit  of  expecting  that  the 
future  is  full  of  gootl  things  for  you,  that 
you  are  going  to  be  prosperous  and  happy, 
that  you  are  going  to  have  a  fine  family,  a 
beautiful  home,  and  are  going  to  stand 
for  something,  is  the  best  kind  of  capital 
witli  which  to  start  life. 


There's  more  lying  about  money  than  about  any  other  one  thing 
in  the  world.  Money  isn't  half  the  curse  it's  often  painted — nor 
half  the  blessing.      It  all  dejKMids  on  who  owns  it.

THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 
THE  PHOTOGRAPHIC  COMPETITION 


ILLUSTRATION  NO.  1 


There  is  a  decided  interest  in  our 
Photographic  Print  Competition,  and 
we  have  received  a  goodly  number  of 
inquiries  regarding  it — all  of  which  is 
mighty  encouraging. 

There  are  many  very  clever  amateur 
photographers  in  the  Kodak  organization, 
and  we  hope  through  these  competitions 
to  develop  many  more. 

The  awards  are  well  worth  your  while, 
and  the  opportunities  for  good  pictures 
are  everywhere  in  the  vicinity  of  Roch- 
ester, as  it  is  one  of  the  beauty  spots  of 
America. 

In  the  first  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine 
we  made  mention  of  our  amateur 
photographic  text  book,  "How  to  Make 


Good  Pictures."  You  will  find  this 
book  a  whole  lot  of  help  in  picture 
making  as  it  is  the  standard  work  of  its 
kind,  and  over  four  hundred  thousand 
copies  have  been  sold;  the  price  of  this 
book  to  employees  is  twenty-four  cents. 

Just  a  word  further  regarding  photo- 
graphs showing  a  person  or  persons. 
When  you  take  a  picture  such  as  is  shown 
in  illustration  No.  1,  obtain  the  name 
and  address  of  the  persons,  so  that  in  case 
the  picture  is  selected  for  an  award  you 
can  obtain,  on  one  of  the  forms  we  provide, 
the  consent  of  the  persons  for  its  use  by 
us.  No  awards  will  be  paid  until  such  a 
release   is   in   our   hands. 

For  a   picture  like  the    one  shown  in 


ILLUSTRATION  NO.  i 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


15 


illustration  Xo.  2,  no  consent  of  the  per- 
son will  be  necessary  as  the  figure  is  not 
of  sufficient  prominence. 

Of  course,  if  your  picture  happened 
to  be  of  some  scene  on,  say,  a  bathing 
beach  with  hundreds  of  people  in  it  you 
would  not  l)e  expected  to  get  the  consent 
of  each  one,  but  if  you  singled  out  any 
one  person  or  group  such  consent  would 
be  necessary.  Wherever  the  person  is 
recognizable  the  written  consent  must 
be    obtained. 

Get  your  camera  working  right  away 
so  as  to  have  a  good  number  from 
which  to  make  selection  for  entry  for  the 
first  contest. 


THE  SITUATION 

MOST  of  us  are  receiving  more  in 
wages  than  before  the  war;  some 
of  us  very  much  more,  but  with  this 
increase  in  wage  has  come  an  increase  in 
everything  that  pertains  to  living,  and 
so  it  will  pay  us  to  analyze  conditions 
as  they  are  at  the  present  moment. 

Generally  speaking,  conditions  are 
favorable,  but  very  many  adjustments 
have  yet  to  be  made  before  we  can 
expect  a  return  to  what  can  be  called 
normal  conditions. 

Here  is  what  the  National  (,'ity  Bank 
of  New  York  in  its  July  report  has  to 
say  on  the  situation: 

"The  prevailing  opinion  about  prices 
is  that  an  effective  stop  has  been  put  to 
the  upward  movement. 

"The  endless  round  of  rising  wages 
and  prices  could  not  go  on  indefinitely." 

All  authorities  agree  that  there  has 
been  no  over-production,  except  along  a 
few  lines  and  in  a  limited  number  of 
industries. 

The  world  is  still  understocked  with 
necessities.  It  needs  an  enormous 
amount  of  railway  cfiuipment.  An 
enormous  amount  of  construction  work 
remains  to  be  done,  and  it  may  be  years 
before  the  l)uil(ling  of  homes  meets  the 


requirements  of  the  people.  All  the 
world  is  suffering  from  a  shortage  of  fuel, 
both  coal  and  oil. 

At  the  same  time  and  in  the  face  of 
these  conditions,  prices  on  some  things 
have  been   lessened. 

Shoes,  clothing,  hides  and  leather, 
wool  and  silk,  as  well  as  cotton  goods, 
are  well  below  the  levels  current  earlier 
in  the  year. 

The  general  crop  situation  has  im- 
proved steadily  and  is  very  encouraging. 

It  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that  the 
crops  of  Europe  will  be  larger  than  in 
any  year  since  the  war  began,  and 
reports  so  indicate,  but  until  Russia  is 
again  in  position  to  export  foodstuffs 
and  raw  materials,  Western  Europe  will 
necessarily  depend  largely  upon  the 
United  States  and  Canada.  The  crop 
outlook  for  Canada  is  on  a  par  with  this 
country. 

The  sugar  situation  is  becoming  easier; 
about  21,000  tons  have  been  purchased 
in  Argentina,  which  will  come  along  later 
in  the  season,  and  the  expectations  are 
for  larger  productions  in  all  the  sugar 
countries. 

While  the  foregoing  facts  are  comfort- 
ing, the  truth  is  that  the  wants  of  the 
country  are  in  excess  of  the  industrial 
capacity  of  the  country,  and  so  for  the 
present  we  cannot  hope  for  any  general, 
all-around  reduction  in  the  cost  of  living. 

The  thing  to  do  is  to  make  every 
working  day  count  in  the  way  of  produc- 
ing the  goods  for  which  the  country  is 
clamoring;  you  to  supply  the  goods 
some  other  man  wants,  and  the  men  in 
other  lines  to  do  the  same,  that  you  may 
have  the  things  you  need. 

Avoid  extravagant  purchases;  live  well, 
but  wisely;  make  your  garden  produce 
to  the  limit;  put  away  every  cent 
you  can  in  the  V)ank  or  in  Liberty  Bonds, 
and  then  when  old  Mr.  Ironman  dollar 
again  attains  his  former  purchasing 
power  you  will  practically  have  made 
two  for  every  one  you  have  saved  or 
invested.

CARRIE  SMITH'S  TEAM  WINS  OPENER  IX 
GIRLS'  TWILIGHT  LEAGUE 

The  Girls'  Twilight  League  was  officially  opened 
on  Wednesday,  June  !23rd.  The  game  was  played 
on  the  Athletic  Field  and  resulted  in  a  victory  for 
Carrie  Smith's  team  over  that  of  A.  McCarthy. 
Only  outdoor  baseball  is  now  being  played.  The 
reason  for  discontinuing  the  indoor  was  to  enable 
the  girls  to  become  more  familiar  with  the  hard 
ball,  thereby  improving  their  game.  Games  are 
played  every  ^londay,  Wednesday  and  Friday 
evenings  at  5:30  P.  M.  Stay  down  some  night 
and  see  a  real  go. 


HEEL  AND  TIN  CAN  DEPARTMENTS 
ENJOY  PICNIC 

About  110  employees  of  the  Reel  ^Manufacturing, 
Reel  Gauging  and  Tin  Can  Departments  attended 
their  annual  outing,  which  was  held  at  Island 
Cottage.  Automobiles  were  used  to  transport 
the  crowd  to  the  lake,  where  dinner  was  served. 
During  the  afternoon  the  usual  picnic  sports 
•were  indulged  in.  The  baseball  game  between 
the  first  and  second  floor  girls  was  a  very  spirited 
affair  and  resulted  in  a  victory  for  the  second 
floor.  Teams  representing  the  Reel  and  Tin  Can 
Departments  also  played  a  baseball  game,  which 
after  a  very  tight  struggle  was  won  by  the  Can 
Shop.  J.  S.  Harmon  acted  as  General  Chairman 
and  Toastmaster  at  the  dinner,  and  Frank  Kane 
was  Manager  of  Sports  and  Chairman  of  the 
Arrangement  Committee.  During  the  dinner 
spec  lies  were  made  by  Frank  Kane,  J.  Bergen, 
W.  Maynard  and  Anna  Cushing.  The  evening 
was  devoted  to  dancing. 


AMERICAN  LEGION 

The  attention  of  the  members  of  the  old  Guillod 
Post  is  called  to  the  fact  that  their  dues  for  the  last 
half  of  this  year  should  now  be  paid.  By  paying 
for  six  months  they  will  be  even  with  the  new 
Legion  fiscal  year,  beginning  January  1st. 

The  Post  is  still  out  after  the  ex-service  men 
who  are  not  yet  Legionnaires,  and  urges  these  men 
to  get  in  touch  with  members,  or  come  out  to  the 
regular  Post  meetings,  which  are  held  every  second 
Friday  of  each  month  in  Hiokatoo  Hall.     Fall  in! 


TEN^'IS 


At  a  recent  meeting  of  those  who  are  interested 
in  tennis,  held  in  the  Assembly  Hall,  a  committee 
was  elected  to  handle  the  afiFairs  of  the  Men's 
Tennis  Club  for  the  season  of  19'20.  This  committee 
is  composed  of  Dr.  F.  E.  Ross,  Chairman;  F.  Willis, 
J.  Jenkinson,  H.  Wilson  and  O.  Sprague.  Fred 
Willis  has  been  elected  Captain  of  the  first  team. 
The  courts  have  all  been  resurfaced  and  are  now 
in  excellent  condition.  Lockers  have  been  assigned 
to  the  players  and  everything  is  ready  for  a  ban- 
ner year.  We  have  again  affiliated  with  the 
Rochester  Tennis  League  and  had  up  to  July  1st 
played  two  matches.  The  first  against  the  Roch- 
ester Tennis  Club  resulted  in  a  defeat,  due 
particularly  to  the  fact  that  our  team  was  not 
fully  organized  at  the  time  and  lacked  practice. 
In  the  second  match,  howcA'cr,  our  boys  scored  a 
shut  out  against  the  Bausch  &  Lomb  team,  winning 
6-0. 

Plans  are  being  considered  for  a  tournament 
although  final  arrangements  have  not  as  yet  been 
made.  P'rom  the  interest  displayed,  however,  it 
would  undoubtedly  be  a  great  success.

DRAFTING  DEPARTMENT  OUTING 


The  E.  &  M.  Drafting  Department  held  its  third 
annual  picnic  at  Island  Cottage. 

About  100  motored  to  the  grounds  where  a 
chicken  and  fish  dinner  was  served  at  one  o'clock. 
During  the  dinner  H.  G.  Dewey,  Toastmaster, 
read  telegrams  from  Senator  Harding.  Marion, 
Ohio,  U.  S.  A.,  and  John  Barleycorn,  Santiago, 
Cuba,  expressing  their  regret  at  not  being  able  to 
attend,  owing  to  circumstances  beyond  their  control. 
A  musical  program  was  rendered  during  the  dinner 
by  a  quintet  under  the  direction  of  Howard  O. 
Snyder,  assisted  by  O.  V.  Sprague  at  the  piano. 
Special  features  were  the  singing  of  popular  choruses 
by  everybod.v  and  the  piano  solos  by  Mr.  Flint, 
who  when  announced  by  Mr.  Dewey,  gracefully 
arose  and  gave  a  demonstration  of  technique, 
execution  and  musical  interpretation  seldom 
equalled — by  depositing  a  nickel  in  the  player 
piano.  Three  hearty  encores  were  responded  to 
with  the  same  grace,  regardless  of  car  fare. 

The  ball  game  between  the  Engineers  and 
Draftsmen  was  won  by  the  drafting  team  with  a 
score  of  13  to  10.  Mutt  and  Jeff  (see  page  2i) 
umpired  and  were  obliged  to  banish  several  of  the 
engineering   team   to    the    >i(l(^    lines    for    disputing 


decisions.  The  outstanding  features  of  the  game 
were  the  hitting  of  A.  E.  Schell  and  pitching  of 
Oscar  Sprague  and  Julius  Voss. 

The  sports  which  followed  the  ball  game  were 
capably  handled  by  Millard  Comstock,  Jerry 
Welles  and  J.  G.  Jones,  and  the  following  winners 
were  awarded  prizes  by  George  Diemer:  100-yard 
dash  (open) — 1st,  F.  Brownell;  "2nd,  Tom  Wright; 
3rd,  C.  H.  Hart.  Fat  Men's  Race— 1st.  F.  J.  Crouden; 
"2nd,  A.  S.  Hadley.  Dog  Race— 1st,  C.  R.  Hauser; 
^nd,  W.  C.  Rinehart;  3rd,  D.  L.  Davies.  Obstacle 
Race — 1st,  F.  Brownell;  '-2nd,  C.  R.  Hauser.  Chariot 
Race — 1st,  H.  W.  Dirksen  and  H.  Sonderman; 
^nd.  Tom  Wright  and  M.  Comstock. 

On  the  whole  it  was  the  largest  and  most  enjoyable 
picnic  ever  held  by  the  Engineering  and  Drafting 
Department,  and  they  are  already  looking  forward 
to  the  clam  bake  which  will  be  held  in  the  fall,  for 
as  the  girls  of  this  department  are  to  attend  this 
bake,  a  big  time  is  expected. 


The  "How"  Club  of  Department  No.  40  was 
entertained  at  the  homes  of  Harold  \'on  Bramer 
on  July  '2,  and  George  WeUzer  on  July  J).  A 
very  good  time  was  had  by  all  present.

GIRLS  FORM  TENNIS  CLUB 

There  are  already  43  members  enrolled  in  the 
Girls'  Tennis  Club,  and  a  scratch  tournament 
is  being  run  to  determine  the  rating  of  each  player 
so  that  the  best  may  be  selected  to  represent  the 
Association  against  the  other  teams  in  the  city. 
Marie  Forbes,  who  is  in  charge  of  the  Girls'  team, 
is  available  practically  every  evening  for  those  who 
desire  instruction,  and  Anne  Dalzell  is  assisting 
her  by  taking  charge  of  the  advanced  players. 
It  is  very  gratifying  to  note  the  interest  which  is 
being  taken  in  this  sport  by  our  girls.  Three 
courts  have  been  .set  aside  for  their  exclusive  use 
which  are  busy  most  of  the  time.  After  the  present 
tournament  is  finished  the  team  will  be  picked 
and  the  matches  which  have  been  scheduled  played 
ofif.

SOCCER  NOTES 

The  Kodak  Park  Soccer  Team  is  progressing 
quite  satisfactorily  under  the  restriction  recently 
imposed  on  the  teams  affiliated  with  the  National 
Association,  reducing  the  number  of  players  carried 
by  any  team  to  eighteen.  Several  changes  have 
been  made  from  time  to  time  in  our  line-up,  which 
we  feel  confident  have  strengthened  our  playing. 
E.  Langridge.  who  has  had  considerable  experience 
with  R.  &  D.  Clubs,  has  recently  been  signed  on 
with  the  Park;  Ed.  AUardice,  who  last  year  was 
with  the  MacNaughton  Rangers,  has  also  returned 
to  our  club.  He  is  helping  "Doc"  Yates  with  the 
training  and  first  aid  work  for  the  team.  On 
the  other  hand  we  have  lost  one  of  our  old  stand-bys. 
Jack  Connelly,  who  has  secured  his  release  and 
will  be  in  the  Celtic  line-up. 

In  the  first  round  of  the  North  Western  Cup, 
the  game  ended  1-0  in  favor  of  the  City  Moose. 
It  was  a  very  hard  game  and  the  club  management 
is  well  satisfied  with  the  efforts  of  the  players 
and  confident  of  future  victory.  Much  credit  for 
the  success  of  our  team  is  flue  Leigh  Rife  and  "Doc" 
Yates. 

If  there  is  a  good  "goalie"  in  the  plant  who 
wishes  to  play  with  the  Kodak  Park  team,  we 
request  that  he  send  his  name  to  the  K.  P.  A.  A. 
OflSce. 

The  regular  meetings  of  the  Soccer  Club  are 
held  Wednesday  evenings  at  8:00  P.  M.  in  the 
Assembly  Hall.  An  invitation  is  extended  to  all 
interested  persons  to  attend. 


INDUSTRIAL  ECONOMY  PICNIC 

The  first  annual  picnic  of  the  members  of  the 
Industrial  Economy  Department  and  their  families 
was  held  at  Maplewood  Inn.  The  party  arrived 
at  the  Inn  at  1  P.  M.  and  at  1 :30  sat  down  to  a  big 
chicken  dinner.  "Oh,  Boy,"  how  that  man  Schulz 
can  eat  chicken  legs!  Susan  La  Dine  said  she 
would  rather  have  the  wings,  as  she  will  stand  a 
better  show  of  getting  to  Heaven. 

After  dinner  a  ball  game  was  played  between  two 
teams,  with  Case  and  Hart  as  captains.  Just  a 
Case  of  Harts  being  trump — score  8  to  10. 

Following  the  game  there  was  a  three-legged 
race  for  men,  100-yd.  dash  for  men,  50-yd.  dash  for 
ladies,  and  a  potato  race  for  ladies,  which  was 
run  off  in  great  shape;  also  a  game  called  "swat 
the  Kai.ser."  Gosh!  how  some  of  those  ladies  can 
swat.  Maggie  of  the  "Bringing  up  Father"  fame 
has  nothing  on  those  ladies  for  using  the  club.

Irene  Rothenberg  and  Leo  Waring  were  married 
at  the  Church  of  the  Sacred  Heart  at  9  A.  M. 
Tuesday,  June  29th.  A  variety  shower  was  given 
on  Friday  evening,  June  '•2.5th,  at  the  home  of 
Mrs.  Edwin  Rothenberg.  A  handsome  cut  glass 
water  set  was  presented  from  the  girls  on  half  size 
assorting. 


Arch  Hayes,  of  the  Assorting  Room,  and  Miss 
Olive  Sherlock  of  London,  Ontario.  Canada,  were 
married  June  30th  at  Marysville,  Ontario.  After 
two  weeks'  trip  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hayes  will  be  at 
home  at  53  Lapham  Street,  Rochester,  New  York. 


August  Berle,  of  the  Cutting  Room,  and  Miss  C. 
Josephine  Hippe  were  married  Thursday,  July  1st. 


Sympathy  of  the  Velox  Department  is  extended

The  many  friends  of  Joseph  Xothnagle,  of  the

that  he  is  slowly  but  surely  regaining  his  health. 


The  Velox  picnic  held  June  26th  was  the  most 
successful  picnic  they  ever  held  and  that  is  saying 
much.  The  men  numbering  125  left  the  Park  at 
twelve  o'clock  sharp,  going  by  auto  to  Rifle  Range, 
where  a  fish  and  chicken  dinner  was  served,  after 
which  a  ball  game  was  played  between  the  married 
and  single  men,  the  single  men  being  the  winners. 
The  usual  other  sports  were  indulged  in.  A  buffet 
lunch  was  served  all  afternoon.

The  mother  of  Cecilia  Biegler,  of  the  Box  Depart- 
ment, passed  away  on  July  4th  after  a  long  illness. 
We  extend  our  sympathy. 

The  chemists  of  Building  No.  40  Laboratory 
laid  down  their  test  tubes  and  retorts  on  Saturday, 
July  10th,  forgot  their  researches  on  photographic 
developers,  and  journeyed  to  Sodus  Point  for  a 
picnic.  They  left  the  Park  in  autos  shortly  before 
one  o'clock  and,  after  a  delightful  ride,  reached 
their  destination  at  about  2:30  P.  M. 

Immediately  after  their  arrival  a  ball  game 
was  played  in  which  the  Dichlorhydrochinonsul- 
phonic  acids  defeated  the  Monomethylparamino- 
phenolsulphates  to  the  tune  of  11-6.  A  feature 
of  the  game  was  the  head-on  slide  home  of  J.  D. 
Schubeck,  who  wore  sun  goggles  throughout  the 
game. 

At  six  o'clock  a  very  tempting  chicken  and 
fish  dinner  was  served  at  the  Harris  House,  to  which 
the  chemists  did  full  justice. 

In  a  fi.shing  contest  which  was  held  after  dinner, 
F.  A.  Giilice  and  John  J.  Schmitt.  still  fishing  with 
worms,  took  the  laurels  from  H.  B.  Keegan,  M.  B. 
Punnett  and  J.  D.  Schubeck,  who  were  casting 
with  artificial  bait,  by  landing  a  2:^4  lb.  pickerel 
and  several  small  fish  while  their  competitors  got 
nothing.  Mr.  Giilice  hooked  the  big  fish  while 
angling  from  a  pier  ami  Schmitt  landed  it  with  his 
hands  after  climbing  down  the  piles  to  the  water's 
edge.  The  luck  of  the  winner  so  piqued  the  invet- 
erate fishermen,  H.  B.  Keegan  and  George  Weltzcr. 
that  they  remained  over  night  to  fish  and  returned 
Sunday  afternoon  with  a  good  string,  although 
the  largest  pickerel  which  they  caught,  a  gamy 
fisli  weighing  14  lbs.,  cut  their  line  and  got  away 
while  they  were  trying  to  land  it. 

The  party  reached  the  city  on  their  return 
journey  at  midnight.  Those  attending  wish  to 
give  a  vote  of  thanks  to  Thos.  Murray.  Jr..  for 
the  splendid  arrangements.

KODAK  PARK  CAMERA  CLUB 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Camera  Club  the 
pinners'  Class  in  photography  was  given  a 
very  interesting  talk  on  the  making  of  good  nega- 
tives, by  HarrisDn  Tuttle. 

The  talk  covered  facts  in  practical  photography 
starting  with  the  making  of  sensitive  material, 
correct  exposure,  selection  of  developer,  taking  in 
consideration  the  ingredients  of  developing  solution, 
concentration  of  developer,  temperature  of  developer 
and  time  of  development,  fixing,  washing  and 
drying. 

Examples  of  under,  correct,  and  over  develop- 
ment, each  being  applied  to  under,  correct,  and 
over  exposure,  were  given,  and  many  other 
interesting  examples  of  freak  negatives,  such  as 
double  exposures,  air  bells,  light  and  development 
fog,  hypo  spots  on  negative  and  many  others 
which  every  amateur  photographer  will  get. 

Demonstrations  in  tank  and  tray  development 
were  given,  and  the  advantage  and  disadvantage 
of  each  discussed. 

More  talks  have  been  planned  and  the  club 
urges  every  member  interested  in  photography 
to  be  present,  as  the  fundamentals  of  chemistry 
are  important,  even  to  the  amateur.

EMPLOYEES  TRAINING  CLASSES 

MAXY  VALUABLE  SUBJECT-S  TO  BE  TAUOHT 
AT  KODAK  PARK 

There  seems  to  be  a  desire  on  the  part  of  many 
interested  people  at  Kodak  Park  for  an  oppor- 
tunity to  increase  their  store  of  knowledge  by 
means  of  evening  school  classes  held  at  the  Park. 

Arrangements  are  being  made  to  provide  for 
instruction  in  a  number  of  subjects  during  the 
coming  fall  and  winter  months.  It  is  possible  to 
conduct  these  cla.sses  at  such  hours  that  all  em- 
ployees on  shifts,  or  day  work,  may  avail  themselves 
of  the  opportunity  with  the  minimum  of 
inconvenience.  Classes  are  to  be  immediately 
before  or  immediately  following  the  working 
hours. 

For  the  convenience  of  those  working  shifts, 
classes  will  be  held  in  the  afternoon  at  the  following 
periods:  1:30  to  -2:15:  -2:45  to  3:30;  3:30  to  4:15 
and  4:15  to  5:00.  Day  workers"  classes  will  be 
held  from  6:00  to  6:45  P.  M..  thus  allowing  time 
to  get  supper  before  going  to  class.  By  closing 
the  period  at  6:45  the  evening  is  left  free  so  that 
there  will  be  no  conflict  between  the  studies  and 
your  social  engagements  and  recreation. 

The  organization  of  a  class  will  depend  entirely 
upon  the  number  of  employees  who  register,  a 
registration  of  twenty  being  necessary  to  form  a 
class.  Enrollment  blanks  will  be  furnished  at  a 
later  date. 

The  list  of  subjects  includes:  Citizenship,  Health, 
.\rithmetic  (Fundamental  processes  and  rapid 
calculation).  General  Mathematics  (including  work 
in  .\lgebra.  Geometry  and  Trigonometry),  Business 
English,  Blue  Print  Reading,  Principles  of  Mechan- 
ical Drawing,  Factory  Cost  Keeping  Principles, 
Spelling.  Chemistry,  Physics,  History  (Industrial). 

The  classes  will  be  under  the  supervision  of  the 
Industrial  Economy  Department  and  will  be 
handled  by  competent  and  experienced  instructors. 

Why  not  avail  yourself  of  this  exceptional 
opportunity  to  refresh  your  mind,  or  to  study  a 
new  subject?

in  the  morning  and  you  can  meet  them  at  the 
beach  immediately  after  noon,  for  lunch.  There 
will  be  extra  cars  leaving  the  Park  at  this  hour  for 
our  accommodation.  Don't  forget  the  date,

SPRING  SEASON  NEARLY  OVER 

With  the  Spring  schedule  of  the  Noon  Hour 
Baseball  League  nearly  completed  the  Legion  team 
is  still  in  the  lead,  liiiving  won  ten  of  the  thirteen 
games  played  up  to  the  first  of  July.  The  season 
just  being  finished  is  remarkable  for  the  enthusiasm 
of  both  the  players  and  fans.  Games  have  been 
started  on  time  and  a  most  excellent  brand  of  ball 
has  been  played.  An  expression  of  appreciation 
is  extended  to  the  players,  managers  and  umpires 
for  the  sport  they  provide  each  noon.  The  hitting 
of  "Chuck"  Forstbauer  and  "Art"  Toung  has 
l)een  exceptionally  good,  and  they  have  broken  up 
almost  every  game  in  which  they  have  played. 
Toung.  who  plays  with  John  Shepherd's  "Pets," 
lias  the  distinction  of  having  made  two  home 
runs  in  one  inning.

After  "Toddy"  Diehl,  the  M.  O.  twirler,  threw 
his  arm  out  against  the  Hawk-Eye  squad,  he 
came  right  back  to  revenge  his  2-1  defeat  in  the 
opening  game  at  the  hands  of  Kodak  Park,  by 
giving  the  Film  makers  their  first  taste  of  being 
in  the  lost  column,  the  score  being  8-1.  Toddy 
sent  ten  of  the  Parkers  back  to  the  bench  via  the 
"Whiff"  route.  He  also  registered  the  first  home 
run  of  the  1920  season  in  the  game  against  Folmer-

several  changes  recently  and  feels  quite  confident  of

SERVICE  DEPARTMEML 


SERVICE  DEPARTMENT  PICNIC 

On  Saturday  afternoon.  July  10,  the  Service 
Department  held  their  first  annual  picnic  at  Grand 
View  Beach.  You  would  naturally  expect  this 
department  to  provide  a  most  complete  program 
and  they  surely  lived  up  to  expectations. 

The  day  was  made  to  order,  and  the  "collation" 
(see  program)  was  cooked  ditto  and  served  in  first- 
class  shape. 

Many  picnics  have  been  held  by  different  depart- 
ments and  plants  of  this  organization,  and  all 
have  been  voted  a  success,  but  when  it  comes  to  a 
real  picnic  we  will  have  to  take  off  our  hats  to  the 
Service  Department,  for  from  the  minute  they 
started  there  was  something  doing  all  the  time,  and 
variety  enough  for  anybody. 

If  the  Kodak  Parkers,  or  any  of  the  other  plants, 
think  that  they  have  a  cinch  on  all  the  grand  opera 
talent,  they  have  another  think  coming  because  the 
Service  Department  had  a  flock  of  song  birds  that 
could  sure  warble  some — and  they  did. 

An  invited  guest  demonstrated  his  ability  on  the 
piano,  but  failed  to  respond  to  a  second  encore 
because  he  only  had  two  nickels. 

The  ball  game  between  the  married  and  the 
single  men  furnished  many  thrills,  and  no  one 
dared  to  kick  at  any  of  the  decisions  of  the  umpire 
— "there  was  a  reason." 

A  full  complement  of  other  "athletic"  events 
was  run  off  in  record  time,  and  only  a  movie  camera 
could  have  recorded  some  of  them. 

As  a  diplomatic  measure  we  refrain  from  publish- 
ing the  name  of  the  umpire  of  the  ball  game.  The 
other  officials  were:  General  Chairman,  M.  Reid; 
Song  Leader,  Ken.  Williams;  Announcer,  Ben 
Harris;  Judges.  Perrin  and  Fenn;  Starters,  Morris 
Rothschild,  Bill  Shewanan;  Timer,  Charlie 
Robertson. 

'Twas  some  picnic! 


The  prohibitionists  who  attended  the  Service 
Department  picnic  were  rather  hard  hit  when 
Professor  Deceivo  (Rothschild)  performed  a  miracle 
of  changing  water  into  wine. 


Edward  Connolly,  of  the  Testing  and  Packing 
Department,  is  rejoicing  over  the  arrival  of  a  little 
son,  Gerald — June  19th,  19^20 — weighing  eight 
pounds. 


Elmer  Ferguson,  of  the  Repair  Department,  has 
a  new  baby  girl  born  July  4th.  Elmer,  you  should 
call  her  Georgiana.

A  very  pleasant  evening  was  enjoyed  and  Miss

who  lives  in  Gates  next  door  to  Joel  Baggs. 
is  the  proud  owner  of  a  steed  of  uncertain  age 
which  he  claims  no  one  can  ride.  But  Paul  O. 
Yanke,  also  of  the  Repair  Department,  says  that 
no  horse  that  travels  on  four  legs  can  unseat  him: 
consequently,  a  party  of  ex-cow  punchers  consisting 
of  Mr.  Yanke,  Mr.  Hondorf  and  Mr.  Marcille  have 
arranged  to  visit  Mr.  Ferguson  at  his  farm,  when 
\Ir.  Yanke  will  attempt  to  subdue  the  animal. 
Side  bets  of  considerable  amounts  are  said  to  have 
been  placed  on  both  the  horse  and  the  man.  The 
outcome  will  be  reported  later.

the  twenty-five  girls  who  did  will  soon  forget  the 
good  "eats,"  nor  the  theatre  party  afterwards. 
In  recognition  of  Miss  Ward's  faithful  service  and 
of  the  good  will  which  we  of  the  Mail  Department 
feel  toward  her,  she  was  presented  with  a  ring, 
and  our  best  wishes  go  with  her  as  she  leaves  to 
again  take  up  her  career  as  a  school  teacher. 


It  was  with  very  real  regret  that  we  saw  Edna

keep  her  at  home. 


Lois  Greenwood  returned  to  her  old  place  in  the 
Order  Department  on  July  Cth,  after  a  rest  cure  of

BURT  MOHLAR 

Glance  up  and  behold  the  likeness  of  Burt 
Mohlar,  whom  you  may  find  most  any  time  (if 
you're  lucky)  at  his  desk  on  the  first  floor  of  the 
Main  Office  Building  Xo.  5.  And  he  has  been 
with  the  company  for  quite  a  little  period  too,  for 
June  11th  last  saw  the  completion  of  the  24th  year 
of  his  services  with  the  company. 

When  a  man  stops  learning  he  stops  growing — 
and  Burt  Mohlar  realized  this  from  the  start. 
In  order  to  fit  himself  for  a  bigger  job  later  on  he 
attended  a  night  class  in  electrical  engineering  at 
Mechanics  Institute. 

But  he  didn't  stop  at  this.  He  signed  up  with 
the  International  Correspondence  Schools  for  a 
"direct-by-raail"  course  in  building  construction 
and  burned  many  a  quart  of  midnight  oil  when 
his  friends  were  either  enjoying  themselves  or 
resting  after  a  day's  work.  But  Burt  obtained 
the  results  that  always  come  from  the  persistency 
in  studying  to  learn  to  grow. 

Burt  now  has  charge  of  the  Main  Office  Main- 
tenance Department,  and  when  there's  a  partition 
to  be  torn  down  or  a  building  to  be  erected,  it's 
Burt's  job  to  get  things  going  and  finish  the  work 
the  proper  way.  Some  say  that  if  you're  dissatisfied 
with  the  way  the  wind  is  blowing,  or  if  the  sun  is 
shining  too  brightly,  the  best  thing  to  do  in  either 
case  is  to  see  Burt  Mohlar,  immediately.  He'll 
change  the  conditions  to  suit  everyone. 

The  Maintenance  Department  is  also  head- 
quarters for  all  lost  and  found  articles,  so  whenever 
you  find  an  article  that  doesn't  belong  to  you,  or 
you  lose  something  that's  dear  to  your  heart,  ask 
Burt  to  lend  vou  his  assistance. 


STOCK  DEPARTMENT  PICMC 

The  members  of  the  Stock  Department  Office 
force  held  their  first  annual  picnic  at  Island  Cottage, 
Saturday.  July  lOth.  The  afternoon  was  well 
taken  up  with  swimming,  handball,  boating,  etc., 
and  in  the  evening  a  sausage  roast  was  held. 

From  the  way  everyone  attacked  the  eats,  it 
looked  as  if  they  had  been  fasting  for  a  week. 

It  was  agreed  that  this  was  the  best  picnic  ever, 
and  evervone  is  looking  forward  to  the  next  one.

LINCH  HOIK.  TESTING  AND  PACKINCi   DEPARTMENT 


BILLING  DEPARTMENT  PICNIC 


The  Billing  Department  picnic  held  at  Xe^-port, 
on  Saturday  afternoon,  July  17th,  was  a  wonderful 
success. 

Dinner  was  served  at  the  Xe^\port  House,  at 
which  time  Arminnia  Kyle  Fleming  rendered  a  few 
excellent  recitations.  Place  cards,  on  which  were 
written  short  verses,  intended,  no  doubt,  to  test 
the  picnicers'  good  nature,  were  ingeniously  pre- 
pared by  Anna  M.  Brady. 

After  the  dinner  two  ball  games  were  played.  The 
first  game  was  played  by  two  teams  of  girls,  and  say, 
my  fellow  workers,  the  most  calm  and  dignified 
individual  in  the  world,  would  have  become  con- 
vulsed with  mirth  if  he  had  seen  the  vigorous 
enthusiasm  displayed  by  these  girls.  The  second 
game  played  by  the  men  was  also  one  of  great 
enthusiasm.  The  feature  plays  of  this  game  were 
made   by   Joe   Kick  and   Guiseppi   Ronca.      Both 


games  were  umpired  by  Bill  Croft,  who  has  umpired 
games  for  Kodak  picnicers  for  the  last  thirty  years. 

Following  the  ball  game,  came  the  following  races: 

100  yard  dash  for  girls Martha  Schultheiss 

100  yard  dash  for  men Maxwell  Goebel 

Wheelbarrow  race  for  men 

Charlie  Wulf  and  Eddie  Hilbert 

Three-legged  race  for  girls 

Annette  White  and  Ruth  Lloyd 

Peanut  race  for  girls Anna   Walentas 

Peanut  race  for  men Sergio  Betancourt 

.\fter  the  races  came  the  dancing.  Music  was 
furnished  by  Charles  Hersey,  Grover  Lloyd,  Horace 
Lloyd,  Carl  Graves,  Ernest  Miles  and  George 
Whitcomb. 

We  wish  to  thank  Grover  Lloyd  for  his  efforts 
in  making  the  picnic  such  a  success.

OUR  OUTING 


Saturday  afternoon.  July  lOtli.  proved  to  be  very 
eventful  to  employees  of  the  Premo  Works,  when 
their  picnic,  conducted  l)y  tlie  Prenio  ("luh.  was 
held  at  East  Maplewood.  A  large  number  of  the 
employees  were  carried  to  the  grounds  in  cars  owned 
by  individuals,  others  going  by  means  of  a  Kodak 
truck,  enlisted  for  the  occasion. 

Dinner  was  served  in  the  pavilion  and  no  one 
had  to  be  sent  for  when  it  was  announced.  After 
the  final  course  had  been  served.  Homer  Ransom, 
Chairman  of  the  Executive  Board,  introduced 
John  H.  McKenny,  President,  wlio  briefly  outlined 
the  policy  of  the  newly-organized  Premo  Club. 
He  called  upon  A.  A.  Ruttan,  past  President,  who 
made  an  appropriate  response. 


ONE  OF  {)[  ]{  CIKST.-^ 

That  the  Premo  Works  is  well  supplied  with 
musical  talent  was  again  demonstrated  by  vocal 
selections  rendered  by  Florence  Florack,  Marshall 
Lampen  and  Percy  Brown.  Two  baseball  games 
were  played,  in  which  the  Renners  defeated  the 
Winters  18  to  2,  and  the  married  men  defeated  the 
single  men,  14  to  8.  There  were  other  athletic 
events  with  prize  winners  as  follows: 

lOO-yard    dash    for    men Charles    Sullivan 

50-yard  dash  for  women Jennie  AValzer 

Frog  race  for  men Raymond  Schultz 

Ball  throwing  into  barrel — women,  Jennie  Walzer

for  the  successful  manner  in  which  the  picnic  was 
put  over,  and  the  signs  are  auspicious  for  big  things 
next  winter. 

AFTERMATH  OF  THE  PICNIC 

The  most  popular  saying,  "When  do  we  eat?" 

Linda  Schwing  did  a  toe  dance  and  soon  had 
John  McKenny  up  a  tree.  The  act  was  directed  by 
Louis  C.  Wheeler. 

Perhaps  Pauline  Schwartz  would  repeat  some  of 
her  centerfield  somersaults  at  Premo  Club  meetings 
next  winter,  if  we  provide  a  soft  board  on  which

A  GIRLS  BASEBALL  TEAM  FOR  CAMERA 
WORKS 

No!  The  male  Camera  Workers  aren't  going  to 
take  all  the  baseball  honors — not  if  Blanche  Wing 
has  a  say  in  the  matter!  The  girls  team  she  has 
organized  bids  fair  to  become  a  large  item  on  the 
list  of  Recreation  Club  activities.  With  George 
Pressley  as  Coach,  and  Harry  Lambert  as  Manager, 
we  are  looking  forward  to  a  team  worthy  of  the 
Camera  Works  organization. 

This  is  the  line-up:  Mrs.  H.  Lambert,  p.;  Violet 
Wing,  c;  Blanche  Wing,  1st  b.;  Beatrice  Lord,  '-2nd 
b.;  Helen  Stone,  3rd  b.;  Adele  Bentley,  s.  s.;  Julia 
Siveur,  r.  f.;  Ruth  Merkel,  1.  f.;  Harriet  Miller,  c.  f. 

The  team  is  anxious  to  meet  any  other  industrial 
girls  nine. 


Mary  Redman,  of  the  Kodak  Assembling  Depart- 
ment, was  the  recipient  of  a  shower  of  useful 
gifts  a  few  days  before  her  marriage,  which 
occurred  on  June  30th.  Among  the  many  things 
was  a  handsome  mantel  clock  and  a  beautiful  cut 
glass  water  set. 


It  is  with  pleasure  that  we  welcome  Harry 
Dengel  back  in  the  Woodworking  Department. 
He  has  had  a  pretty  rough  time,  having  been 
five  weeks  on  the  sick  list. 


The  Stock  Record  Department  has  l)een  the 
target  for  Cupid's  arrows  this  month.  Up  to  the 
time  of  writing  there  are  four  events  in  the  matri- 
monial race.  They  are:  Albert  A.  Moshier  (6th 
floor  vault)  to  Miss  Jessie  Fuller.  Ray  Johnson 
(4th  floor  vault)  to  Miss  Helen  Jones.  Leo  Morey 
(5th  floor  vault)  to  Miss  Hazel  Perkins.  Edmond 
Groeben  (5th  floor  vault)  to  Miss  Martha  Watts. 
The  male  quartet  have  returned  to  the  fold  and 
are  still  at  the  old  stand.  Our  congratulations  are 
extended  to  all  parties  concerned. 


The  Foreign  Shipping  Department  held  a 
picnic  in  the  town  of  Irondequoit  on  July  10th. 
The  feature  of  the  picnic  was  a  ball  game  in  which 
Capt.  Duffy's  team,  "The  Married  Men,"  suffered 
defeat  at  the  hands  of  "The  Single  Men"  to  the 
extent  of  7-4. 


Among  the  people  who  visited  the  Camera 
Works  last  month  was  Dr.  Jacob  Gould  Schurman, 
former  president  of  Cornell  University.  Dr. 
Schurman's  visit  is  particularly  interesting  to  us, 
as  he  was  associated  with  Mr.  Eastman  on  the 
famous  Japan  trip  of  last  March.  The  Doctor  is 
touring  the  country,  giving  his  impressions  of  Japan 
and  advocating  the  necessity  for  better  understand- 
ing between  America  and  the  Far  East.

The  Screw  Machine  Department  girls  had  a 
hunch  that  it  was  cooler  at  Charlotte  than  in 
Rochester,  so  on  Saturday.  July  10th,  they  took 
their  bathing  suits  and  hopped  a  street  car  to  the 
lake  shore.  After  much  splashing  and  ducking 
they  cpnsumed  sandwiches,  pickles,  etc. — not 
forgetting  the  pop — and  then  hied  over  to  Manitou 
to  the  dancing  pavilion,  leaving  their  baggage  in 
the  check  room  at  Charlotte.  Dancing  was  fine, 
and  they  were  loathe  to  leave.  Finally,  however, 
they  returned  for  their  baggage,  which,  alas,  was 
safe  under  lock  and  key,  and  not  obtainable  until 
the  following  morning.  A  little  thing  as  this 
would  not  disturb  such  a  merry  bunch  of  girls 
and  they  returned  home  after  a  real  holiday. 


Three  Departments  —  Stock  Record, 
Planning  and  Production  Detail  —  combined 
in  a  picnic,  which  according  to  the  program,  was 
A-1.  Durand-Eastman  Park  was  the  scene  of  the 
activities,  with  Messrs.  Wilson,  Sullivan  and 
Stiffler  heading  up  the  Committees.  A  street  car 
was  chartered,  and  dinner  was  served  on  arrival. 


The  Brass  Department  held  its  annual  picnic 
at  Rifle  Range.  A  chicken  and  fish  dinner  was 
served,  followed  by  a  ball  game  which  was  won 
by  the  Press  Department  from  the  Screw  Machine. 
Score — 7  to  6.  Various  sports  were  on  the  program. 
The  standing  jump  was  won  by  Chamberlin, 
Screw  Machine;  100-yd.  dash  and  also  the  hop, 
.skip  and  jump  by  Goldring,  Press  Department. 
Three-legged  race  won  by  Goldring  and  Graus. 

George  Goldring  appears  to  be  quite  an  athlete, 
for  he  took  the  championship  away  from  Will 
Mostyn,  who  has  been  the  top-notch  runner  of  the 
Brass  Department  for  many  years. 

Most  of  the  boys  missed  their  pie,  as  the  cook 
sheared  the  blanking  die  when  the  order  was 
about  half  completed.  However,  Mr.  Love  gave 
instructions  to  run  the  pie-press,  as  the  boys  would 
not  mind  the  burr! 

A  thorough  good  time  was  spent,  in  spite  of  the 
fact  that  "'Champion"  Charlie  was  heard  to  remark, 
"A  picnic,  like  the  'Old  Gray  Mare',  ain't  what  it 
used  to  be!"    See  page  34.

The  Industrial  Relations  Department 
enjoyed  a  good  time  at  Durand-Eastman  Park  on 
Saturday.  July  3rd,  when  iG  of  the  staff  and  friends 
did  all  the  usual  stunts  of  picnic  making.  An 
excellent  lunch  was  served  and  races  were  run  for 
handsome  rewards.  The  crowd  had  lots  of  fun 
being  transported  in  one  of  the  large  E.  K.  Co. 
trucks,  and  H.  Asbrand  conducted  a  repetition  of 
his  famous  Glee  Club  tactics.  Owing  to  the 
overcast  clouds,  the  ball  game  was  omitted,  but 
the  folks  found  plenty  of  enjoyment  in  swimming. 
Fred  Brehm  presented  the  prizes,  and  Miss  Hondorf 
headed  the  Eats  Committee.  See  page  3i. 


The  Payroll  Department  had  a  bully  afternoon 
at  Summerville,  where  the  "Caraeko"  Boys  offered 
their  cottage  as  headquarters  for  the  annual  picnic. 
A  committee  compri.sed  of  Jack  WaLsh,  Martha 
Yanneck  and  Aletha  Van  Keuren  looked  after  the 
commissary  and  better  judges  of  "eats"  could 
not  have  been  procured.  After  a  splendid  dinner 
the  usual  line  of  sports  and  a  ball  game  helped  to 
get  everyone  in  trim  for  supper.  x\n  impromptu 
wrestling  match  caused  great  excitement.  Ban- 
nister's life  was  undoubtedly  saved  by  the  fact 
that  WiLson  was  not  bald-headed  I

The  Inventory  Department  motored  down 
to  that  Mecca  of  merrymakers,  Durand-Eastman 
Park,  and  at  least  one  participant  had  a  regular 
"picnic,"  incidental  to  the  swimming  feature. 
After  dinner  the  company  adjourned  to  the  lake 
shore,  and,  the  natural  surroundings  appealing 
to  the  men  more  than  the  bathing  pavilion,  several 
males  disappeared  behind  rocks  and  boulders  to 
reappear  equipped  in  "Annette  Kellermans." 
Imagine  the  consternation  of  Bill  Stark  when, 
having  disported  in  the  waters  to  his  entire  satis- 
faction, danced  over  the  sands  to  his  rocky  dressing 
room — in  order  to  don  his  street  attire — only  to 
discover  that  someone  had  taken  his  trousers! 
Wild  was  the  excitement,  and  the  cry  went  forth — 
"A  barrel,  a  barrel,  my  kingdom  for  a  barrel  !" 
The  trousers  not  only  originally  contained  the  lower 
limbs  of  Bill,  but  also  a  considerable  sum  of  money. 
After  beads  of  perspiration  had  reduced  the  weight 
of  Bill  to  almost  a  negligible  quantity,  one  of  the 
ladies  admitted  that  she  had  "inventoried"  the 
garment.  After  antidotes  were  administered.  Bill 
was  again  able  to  breathe  as  of  yore  and  join  in  the 
remainder  of  the  picnic  events.  See  page  35. 


The  Buffing  Department  held  their  picnic  on 
July  10th,  at  Johnson's  Grove,  where  the  principal 
events  were  a  buffet  lunch  and  a  ball  game.  Every- 
body had  a  good  time  and  the  committee  earned 
for  themselves  a  reputation  as  picnic  specialists. 
John  Heaphy  was  Chairman,  and  was  assisted  by 
George  Miles,  Max  Nowack,  Gabriel  Costanzo  and 
Charles  Price.  See  page  37. 


Has  anyone  in  the  Folding  Brownie  Department 
noticed  a  worried  look  on  Harry  Keyes'  face.^ 
Well,  the  fact  is  that  Harry  is  going  to  get  married 
in  September.     Courage,  Harry,  courage.

A  FAMOUS  GARDEN  LECTURE 

Those  members  of  the  Gardening  Association 
who  failed  to  hear  Mr.  James  A.  Wiebens  give  his 
talk  on  Bug  Funerals,  missed  a  very  comprehensive 
lecture,  and  many  good  points  on  how  to  keep  the 
pests  away  from  the  crops.  Mr.  Wiebens  told  us 
that  the  first  lesson  to  learn  was  cleanliness,  and 
good  housekeeping  was  as  essential  in  the  garden 
as  in  the  home.  Sweet  ground,  well-spaded  .soil, 
and  freedom  from  weeds  would  do  much  to  keep 
the  grubs  and  insects  from  breeding. 

Owing  to  the  large  number  of  remedies,  cures, 
and  poisons  which  the  gardener  .sees  advertised 
or  hears  about,  he  is  likely  to  get  the  idea  that 
nothing  short  of  a  qualified  chemist  had  any  right 
to  even  try  to  kill  garden  pests.  .\s  a  matter  of 
fact,  it  is  by  no  means  as  complicated  as  it  first 
appears,  for,  while  the  numl)er  of  plant  enemies 
are  legion,  they  can  be  classified  in  four  groups. 

Here  are  the  articles  you  will  need: 

One  good  spray  (preferably"  a  brass  compressed 
air  spray). 

One  pound  of  Arsenate  of  Lead  paste. 

One  pound  of  Bordeaux  Arsenate. 

One  bottle  Nicotine  or  Black  Leaf  40. 

One  to  five  pounds  tobacco  dust. 

(All  standard  sprays  have  complete  instructions 
for  using  on  the  label.) 

The  first  thing  to  do  is  to  find  out  what  your 
enemy  is — a  fungus,  a  chewing  insect,  a  sucking 
insect,  or  a  grub  that  attacks  underground. 

FUNGUS  usually  attacks  the  foliage  during  wet 
weather  or  in  damp,  shady  places.  The  only 
remedy  is  Bordeau.x. 

CHEWING  INSECTS  eat  up  the  leaves. 
Remedy:  Ar.senate  of  Lead. 

SUCKING  INSECTS  puncture  the  leaf. 
Remedy:  Nicotine. 

GRUBS,  Cut-worms,  or  root  lice  can  be  controlled 
by  spraying  with  strong  tobacco. 

Mr.  Wiebens  answered  several  interesting 
problems,  and  we  hope  at  some  future  date  to  have 
the  opportunity  of  hearing  him  again. 


The  Detail  &  Estlmate  Departme.nt  is 
noted  for  the  picnics  it  has,  and  the  one  on 
Saturday,  July  10,  was  no  exception  to  the  rule. 
An  exciting  ball  game  of  the  "Hams  vs.  Clams" 
followed  an  excellent  repast  prepared  by  Lucy 
Diesel  and  Gene  Klink.  Probably  the  most 
exciting  event  was  the  item  on  the  program  entitled 
"The  best  looking  woman  and  the  best  looking 
man."  The  judges,  consisting  of  Grace  Kester, 
"Bill"  Zimmer  and  Herb.  Spoor,  almost  came  to 
blows  over  the  decision,  but  finally  chose  Dorothy 
Goldstein  and  Oscar  Thorpe  as  their  choice  of  a 
Venus  and  an  Adonis.  N^o  complaints  have  as 
yet  reached  the  Camera  Works  from  the  Depart- 
ment of  Public  Nuisances  as  to  the  effect  of  the 
Gazoo  Band,  led  by  "Frizzie"  performing  on  a 
Jews-harp.  See  page  35. 


The  Bellows  Department  held  an  "Old 
Employees"  picnic  at  Durand-Eastman  Park, 
and,  although  it  was  strictly  a  feminine  affair,  the 
girls  had  a  swell  time.  After  a  basket  luncheon 
they  walked  to  Sea  Breeze  and  had  supper  in  the 
Hawaiian  Tea  Rooms.  No  record  is  obtainable 
as  to  the  costumes  worn,  so  we  are  forced  to  believe 
in  the  prosaic  pose  and  the  Puritan  costumes  as 
shown  in  the  picture  on  page  35. 


Only  one  more  month  to  the  famous  vegetable 
exhibition  of  the  Camera  Works  Home  Garden 
Association.  Get  ready  to  choose  your  weapons 
for  we  expect  a  large  number  of  entries,  and  the 
fight  for  first  prize  will  be  a  regular  battle. 


Since  the  last  issue  of  this  magazine  went 
to  press,  the  Camera  Works  has  lost  an  old 
and  faithful  employee  in  George  P.  White, 
who  passed  away  on  June  -22,  at  his  home  at 
197  Averill  Ave.  Mr.  White  had  worked  in 
the  Tool  and  Engineering  Departments  since 
1905,  and  his  many  friends  extend  sincere 
sympathy  to  the  widow  and  relatives.

BE  SURE  TO  BE  THERE 

As  announced  in  the  Hawk-Eye  section  of  the  July 
issue,  our  second  annual  picnic  will  be  held  on 
Saturday,  August  7th,  at  Manitou  Beach.  Good 
weather  is  the  only  requirement  needed  to  make 
this  day  one  long  to  be  remembered  in  the  hearts 
of  all  loyal  H.  E.  A.  A.  boosters. 

Starting  with  the  strains  of  the  54th  Regimental 
Band  at  10:30  A.  M.,  the  picnickers  will  march 
from  the  plant  across  Driving  Park  Avenue  bridge 
to  Maplewood  Park.  Here  the  transportation 
committee  will  have  chartered  cars  waiting  to 
take  the  throng  to  Charlotte,  where  a  transfer 
will  be  made  to  the  Manitou  line.  With  plenty 
of  jazz  music  on  board  and  the  singing  of  Frank  A. 
Newman's  parodies  on  popular  songs,  it  is  needless 
to  say  that  the  famous  Hawk-Eye  "pep"  will  be 
working  overtime  when  Manitou  Beach  is  reached. 

Upon  arrival  everyone  will  be  served  with 
good  substantial  food,  selected  by  the  special 
committee  on  refreshments  and  of  sufficient  variety 
to  suit  the  most  particular  taste.  Our  band  will 
render  a  program  of  delightful  music  diu^ing  the 
serving  of  the  "eats."  Cafeteria  style  of  service 
will  be  in  vogue  and  you  are  requested  to  present 
the  refreshment  coupon  attached  to  the  outing 
tags. 

From  feeding,  the  scene  of  action  will  shift  to  the 
staging  of  the  field  events  arranged  under  the 
direction  of  John  Vass.  This  part  of  the  day's 
recreation  is  as  necessary  to  the  success  of  an 
outing  as  it  is  for  all  of  us  to  ring  in  on  the  time 
clock  to  show  "  'em  we  are  there."  Surely  everyone 
will  find  an  event  equal  to  his  or  her  speed,  and  while 
we  do  not  look  for  records  to  be  broken,  we  feel 
that  the  spectators  will  be  enthusiastically  enter- 
tained and  our  track  efforts  brought  to  the  fore. 

For  those  who  prefer  dancing  to  athletic  contests, 
permission  has  been  secured  from  the  Manitou 
management  to  use  their  large  dancing  pavilion. 


This  arrangement,  together  with  the  services  of  a 
popular  dance  orchestra,  will  provide  the  necessary 
means  of  enjoyment  in  the  dancing  line. 

Lunch  in  the  form  of  sandwiches  and  coffee  will 
be  served  during  the  progress  of  the  afternoon  to 
appease  appetites  whetted  by  the  breezes  of  Lake 
Ontario.  The  children,  of  coiu-se,  will  be  remem- 
bered with  the  usual  "hand  outs"  of  all-day  suckers 
and  peanuts. 

Immediately  following  the  races,  the  athletic 
field  will  be  cleared  and  the  regular  scheduled 
Eastman  Kodak  League  game  between  the  Main 
Office  and  our  own  aspiring  champions  will  be 
played.  We  surely  want  to  bring  home  the  bacon 
this  year.  The  boys  are  trying  hard  to  regain  the 
honors  lost  last  year,  and  with  everybody  pulling 
hard  for  the  team  on  picnic  day,  they  should 
produce  a  win.  But  our  "regulars"  will  not  be 
in  it  with  our  girls'  team  coached  by  "Bill"  Schlegel. 
They  will  show  against  a  local  team  of  girls  and 
furnish  loads  of  amusement  to  young  and  old. 

The  committee  in  charge  has  arranged  a  series 
of  events  truly  to  be  enjoyed  by  every  employee  of 
the  Hawk-Eye  Works.  The  charges  to  cover  the 
cost  of  refreshments,  transportation,  etc.,  have 
been  placed  at  the  lowest  figures  possible  to  enable 
not  only  our  employees  to  attend,  but  that  they 
may  invite  family  and  friends  to  share  their 
enjoyment. 

The  prices  are  as  follows : 

1.  Children  between  the  ages  of  10  to  16  years, 
.50  cents.  All  boys  and  girls  over  16  years,  full 
fare  as  adults. 

'i.  Adult  ticket,  full  fare  to  Manitou  and  return 
to    Charlotte,    $1.'25. 

3.  Auto  owners  ticket  to  allow  for  transportation 
charge    exemption,    $1 .00. 

The  day  is  not  far  off.  Make  arrangements 
for  yoiu"self,  yoiu"  folks,  and  your  friends,  and 
be  sure  to  be  there,  at  Manitou,  on  August  7th.

Hawk-Eye  Baseball,  the  big  picnic,  and  the 
"Moonlight"  are  getting  so  much  attention  these 
warm  days  that  someone  is  liable  to  think  we  are 
doing  nothing  else  in  the  line  of  sport.  13ut  listen, 
Hawk-Eye,  do  you  play  tennis,  golf,  or  even  pitch 
the  lowly  quoit?  Tennis  is  raging,  sputtering  and 
boiling  getting  ready  to  blow  up  in  a  tournament. 
We  have  an  eighth  of  a  ton  (or  thereabouts)  of 
tennis  agility  and  sylph-like  grace  in  the  person  of 
William  Roach,  our  Purchasing  Agent.  Then 
there  are  Lawrence  Tarnow,  Donald  Seitz,  Harvey 
Putnam,  Fred  Helbing,  John  Meerdink,  Hyman 
Rosenthal,  William  Springer,  Elmer  Ingleby,  and 
Clifford  Johnson,  all  of  whom  are  busy  trying  to 
keep  the  ball  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  net. 

The  girls  as  well  are  using  the  courts  at  noon  and 
in  the  evening.  Alice  Gears,  Josephine  Van  Lare, 
Helen  Loughlin  and  Olive  Kellett  are  enthusiasts 
and  may  be  counted  on  for  some  good  tennis, 
provided  enough  interest  is  aroused  to  run  a 
tournament  for  girls. 

All  Hawk-Eytes  interested  in  the  game  are  urged 
to  notify  Harvey  Putnam  and  arrangements  will 
be  made  for  entry  in  the  tournament. 

Pitching  quoits  at  noon  has  become  popular 
with  a  large  number  of  Hawk-Eye  men.  At 
present  there  is  no  organization  of  the  ringers 
but  a  Quoit  League  is  being  formed,  and  it  is  hoped 
that  each  department  may  be  represented.  Any 
of  the  men  may  play  by  merely  asking  John  Button 
of  the  Power  Department  for  the  necessary  quoits. 

Hawk-Eye  is  to  be  well  represented  in  the  Kodak 
Golf  Tournament,  provided  the  promised  pounding 
of  the  pesky  little  pill  materializes.  James  Weldon, 
of  the  Office,  is  among  the  choicest  sod-busters  in 
the  city  and  will  lead  the  Hawk-Eye  forces.  Wil- 
liam Springer,  Paul  Lyddon,  Clifford  Johnson,  and 
Fred  Von  Deben  may  also  be  counted  on  for  a  hole 
now  and  then  when  necessarv. 


There  was  no  moon  for  the  first  annual  Hawk-Eye 
Moonlight  Excursion,  nevertheless  Wednesday, 
July  14th,  will  be  remembered  as  one  of  the  most 
enjoyable  H.  E.  A.  A.  events  of  the  year. 

We  have  since  learned  that  Rochester's  own 
weather  man  was  on  his  vacation  at  the  time  and 
we  believe  he  overlooked  the  arrangements  for 
hanging  out  the  moon  prior  to  his  leaving. 

The  committee  was  indeed  gratified  to  see  the 
large  crowd  of  employees,  relatives  and  friends 
turn  out  for  the  moonless  moonlight.  Every 
available  seat  on  board  being  taken  by  at  least 
one  Hawk-Eye. 

A  jazz  orchestra  and  the  Rochester  City  Quartette 
entertained  with  musical  numbers. 


Lillian  Wilson  has  been  transferred  from  the 
office  to  take  up  the  direction  of  girls'  activities. 
Miss  Wilson,  who  is  perhaps  better  known  as 
"Billie,"  has  a  fortunate  personality  for  this  type 
of  work.  She  has  been  cordially  welcomed  and 
will  have  the  assistance  of  all  Hawk-Eye  in  her 
work. 


The  Hawk-Eye  Girls'  Baseball  Team  has  been 
going  great  guns,  having  two  wins  out  of  three 
starts  to  their  credit.  Bastian  Brothers'  team  has 
twice  bowed  before  the  prowess  of  Coach  William 
Schlegel's  charges.  The  team  representing  the 
Wollensak  Optical  Company  proved  that  practice 
and  experience  is  what  wins  games  even  in  girls 
baseball. 

The  record  to  date  is  as  follows: 

Bastian  Brothers        li  Hawk-Eve  ii

Olga  Behnke.  of  Stock  Room  Office,  repre- 
sented the  Rochester  Turn  Verein  in  classic  and 
aesthetic  dances  at  the  Turner's  meet  in  Syracuse 
during  the  first  week  of  July. 


Several  changes  of  importance  took  place  at 
Hawk-Eye  during  July.  Joseph  T.  O'Neill  resigned 
as  Office  Manager,  which  position  he  has  held  for 
many  years,  to  take  charge  of  production.  Mr. 
O'Neill  is  eminently  fitted  for  his  new  work  and 
begins  it  with  the  co-operation  and  good  wishes  of 
the  entire  plant. 


Raymond  Farmen  has  taken  up  the  work  in  the 
office,  in  Mr.  O'Neill's  old  position.  Management 
of  office  work  is  not  a  new  experience  to  Mr. 
Farmen,  and  he  is  taking  up  his  new  work  with  the 
solid  backing  of  those  with  whom  he  will  be 
associated. 


Ruth  K.  Gliddon.  who  for  more  than  a  year 
has  had  charge  of  girls'  work  at  Hawk-Eye,  resigned 
July  15th.  Miss  Gliddon  has  made  a  host  of 
friends  throughout  the  plant  and  her  leaving  has 
caused  sincere  regret.  The  best  wishes  of  every 
good  Hawk-Eyte  go  with  her  in  whatever  course 
she  follows  in  the  future.

death  of  his  mother,  and  also  for  the  bad  accident

Room,  whose  father  died  Saturday,  July  3rd. 


George  Kermis  is  back  again,  after  being  laid 
up  for  two  weeks  as  the  result  of  a  fall. 


SroELIGHTS  OX  THE  BALL  GAMES 

A  win  over  the  Camera  Works  to  the  tune  of 
11-4  made  us  feel  like  Worlds  Champions,  but  the 
feeling  didn't  stay  with  us  very  long.  The  follow- 
ing week  we  fell  back  into  second  place  after  the 
7-6  defeat  at  the  hands  of  Kodak  Park.  However, 
the  team  is  far  from  being  discom-aged  and  intends 
to  not  only  reach  the  top  of  the  ladder,  but  to  stay 
there. 


The  final  in  the  Kodak  Park  game  was  a  fine 
exhibition  of  poor  fielding  and  a  grand  attempt 
at  a  "come-back, "  but  the  Folmer-Century  game 
was  far  superior.  After  giving  the  F.  C.  boys 
the  game  in  the  second  by  ragged  support  of 
Marcille's  efforts,  the  team  came  back  in  the 
eighth  and  put  the  game  on  ice,  turning  in  a  count 
of  nine  runs.     Final  score,  15  to  8. 


Kozlowski  resigned  from  the  team  after  the 
Kodak  Park  defeat.  Manager  Brennan  at  once 
picked  "Douber"  Marcille  to  become  his  hurling 
ace.  "Douber's"  arm  is  coming  back  strong,  and 
with  Hawk-Eye  fielding  in  the  old  Hawk-Eye  style, 
Marcille  ought  to  show  to  advantage  against  our 
opponents.  His  pitching  against  the  Main  Office 
was  all  that  could  be  asked,  allowing  five  hits  and 


Peterson  is  a  big  asset  to  the  team  as  one  can 
readily  see  from  the  percentages  compiled  for  the 
first  five  games  played.  At  the  bat  he  shows 
class  at  .514.  while  he  picks  them  up  at  a  .978  clip. 


Moore  replaced  Marcille  at  first  and  in  the 
Folmer-Century  and  Main  Office  games  displayed 
his  baseball  goods  to  advantage.  Moore  needs  no 
introduction  to  the  majority  of  Rochester  ball  fans. 


Felerski  continues  his  strong  game  at  second. 
Leo  is  a  batter  to  Ije  feared  by  all  pitchers  for. 
like  Babe  Ruth,  the  ball  travels  when  he  meets 
it  with  the  willow.  It  may  be  added  that  Leo  is 
also  some  base  runner.  He  bats  .313  and  fields 
.9i3  for  the  first  third  of  the  schedule. 


Ingleby  gave  a  most  favorable  imp)ression  in  the 
Main  Office  game.  His  fielding  was  glorious  and 
his  hitting  timely.  "Tng"  is  pasting  them  out  as 
far  as  .316. 


Wiedeman  can  always  be  counted  upon  as  being 
reliable.  His  percentages  speak  for  themselves. 
Batting  .333.  fielding  1000.  When  the  opposing 
players  lift  the  ball  into  the  left  field  heavens  they 
run  to  first  either  from  force  of  habit  or  just  for 
jirac-tice. 


Levine  in  center  is  another  perfect  fielder.  He's 
so  good  Harry  Murphy  has  him  playing  on  the 
Kodak  All-Stars.  Benny  should  "hit  them  harder.  ' 
and  we  know  he  will  when  he  learns  more  about 
the  optical  business  and  finds  his  batting  eye. 


Boehm,  our  right  l)Ower  in  the  gardens,  shows 
uji  well  at  the  bat.  hitting  .4H.  With  more 
experience  he  will  develop  into  the  dependability 
of  our  other  gardeners.

James  M.  Kirvan.  the  "Grand  Old  Man"  of  the 
Assembling  Department,  returned  to  work  July  li. 
1920,  after  a  long  illness,  and  from  the  noise  on  the 
fifth  floor,  it  was  evident  that  the  boys  were  glad 
to  have  him  back  again. 

A  daughter  was  born  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Frank 
Weining  on  June  30,  1920.  Mr.  Weining  is  em- 
ployed in  the  Assembling  Department. 


The  constantly  increasing  demand  for  Grafle.\ 
Cameras  so  taxed  our  factory  facilities  that  it  be- 
came imperative  that  we  should  ha\e  more  floor 
space.  It  was  decided  several  months  ago  to 
build  an  addition  on  the  South  side  adjoining  the 
present  building.  Ground  was  broken  early  in  the 
spring.  The  addition  consists  of  five  stories  and  a 
basement,  providing  about  50%  more  floor  space, 
which,  with  up-to-date  machinery,  will  give  us  an 
ideal  factory  and  enable  us  to  meet  the  demand. 
The  cut  below  shows  our  factory  in  its  present 
stage  of  completion.  We  expect  to  occupy  it  within 
the  next  few  weeks.

HAWK-EYE  LEADING  KODAK  LEAGUE 
BY  HALF-GAME  MARGIN 

DEFEAT   BY   MAIN    OFFICE  TEAM    CROWDS 
KODAK  PARK  OFF  TOP  ROUND  OF  LADDER 


OX  July  loth,  with  six  of  the  fifteen 
weeks  of  play  concluded,  Hawk- 
Eye's  slugging  team  was  leading  the 
Eastman  Kodak  Baseball  League,  just 
a  half  game  ahead  of  Kodak  Park.  A 
7  to  6  defeat  by  Kodak  Park  on  the 
Maplewood  diamond  on  June  19th  is 
the  only  blot  on  Hawk-Eye's  otherwise 
perfect  record.  Bircher's  Kodak  Park 
nine  sailed  smoothly  along  for  four 
straight  victories,  but  struck  a  snag 
on  July  10th  at  West  High,  when  the 
Main  Office  players  walked  oft'  with  the 
long  end  of  an  8  to  1  score. 

Camera  Works  is  behind  the  schedule, 
having  a  tie  game  with  the  Main  Office, 
and  a  jiostponed  game  with  Kodak  Park 
yet  to  work  off.  These  two  battles  may 
cause  quite  a  change  in  the  percentage 
list,  for,  as  yet,  no  team  except  Hawk-Eye 
has  been  able  to  wliip  the  Camera  outfit. 
With  the  exception  of  an  18  to  0  slaughter 


at  the  hands  of  Hawk-Eye,  the  Main 
Office  team  has  been  coming  fast.  The 
addition  of  the  Ogden  brothers  and 
Rohrer  has  finished  out  a  speedy  infield, 
while  Diehl's  pitching  continues  to  baffle 
opposing  hitters.  These  four  teams, 
at  present,  look  due  to  fight  it  out  for 
the  championship,  with  the  odds  just  a 
bit  in  favor  of  Hawk-Eye,  becau.se  of 
its  consistent  playing  in  every  game. 

At  Folmer-Century  and  Premo,  the 
prospects  have  not  been  so  bright.  In 
several  games  the  Caledonia  Avenue  team 
has  piled  up  a  good  lead,  only  to  have 
a  weak  defense  toss  the  game  away  again. 
Petroske  and  Perrin  have  been  showing 
the  brand  of  ball  which  made  Folmer- 
Century  pennant  contenders  last  year, 
but  the  balance  of  the  team  has  failed 
to  hold  steady  in  the  pinches.  Premo 
has  put  up  a  stiff  scrap  in  every  start 
but  one,  but  was  able  to  win  onlv  from

Folmer-Centiiry  in  an  al^breviated  even- 
ing game  at  West  High  Field.  They 
have  been  fielding  as  well  as  any  chib 
in  the  League,  but  weak  hitting  ha> 
prevented  their  winning  games. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee of  the  League,  held  Wednesday, 
June  23,  a  change  in  the  schedule  was 
made,  under  which  all  games  originally 
scheduled  for  Maplewoorl  Park  are  to  be 
transferred  to  Kodak  Park  and  played 
at  2.00  p.  m.  Other  games  will  be 
played  at  4.00  p.  m.  at  West  High  and 
Kodak  Park  in  accordance  with  the 
original  program.

That  most  virulent  and  infectious  of  all 

the  multitudinous  family  of  microbes — 
the  Baseball  Bug,  has  made  a  rabid  attack 
in  a  new  and  entirely  unexpected  (juarter. 
that  is,  the  girls  of  the  Eastnum  Kodak 
Company.  They  are  all  at  it,  and  if  you 
don't  believe  that  a  middy  and  a  pair  of 
bloomers  make  the  best-looking  uniform 
yet  invented,  come  around  some  night  and 
look  over  one  of  these  new-style  twilight 
games. 

The  Hawk-Eye  girls  claim  to  have  been 
the  first  to  get  started  on  this  latest  in- 
vasion of  man's  sphere,  but  Kodak  Park 
and  the  Camera  Works  are  close  on  their 
heels.  The  Main  Office  baseball  girls 
have  the  honor  of  launching  the  first 
activity  of  the  newly-formed  Kodak  Office 
Recreation  Club.  The  season  is  still  yoimg 
and  about  all  that's  needed  to  start  a 
lively  girls'  league  is  some  guiding  spirit 
to  get  and  keep  the  scrappers  together. 

However,  for  the  benefit  of  any  would- 
be  opponents,  here  are  the  names  of  the 
Manager-esses  of  the  four  teams  already

NOTHING  DOL\(;  IN  TENNIS 

Apparently,  Kodak  workers  are  not 
losing  any  sleep  over  the  (juestion  of  the 
com]>any  tennis  title.  At  any  rate, 
only  four  of  them  were  sufficiently  inter- 
ested to  enter  up  for  the  jjroposed

ALL-KODAKS  TRIMMED   BY  FAST   OUT-OF-TOWN  TEAMS 


DROPPING  five  out  of  their  first  six 
games,  Manager  Harry  JVIurphy's 
All-Kodaks  made  a  discouraging  start  in 
their  first  season  in  the  semi-pro.  field. 
After  a  smashing  win  over  the  Knights 
of  Columbus  team  to  start  oft'  the  vear. 


the  local  players  have  dropped  home 
games  to  the  Norwich  Clothes  and  the 
Hewitt's,  Buffalo  City  champions,  while 
their  holiday  road  trip  over  July  4th, 
oth  and  6th,  cost  them  three  more — one 
at  the  hands  of  the  Brown-Lipe-Chapin 
Company,  industrial  champions  of  Syra- 
cuse, and  two  from  the  St.  Regis  Athletic 
Club,  at  Deferiet,  N.  Y. 

A  couple  of  new  players  have  strength- 
ened the  Big  Team  line-up  considerably, 
and  a  fair  proportion  of  the  coming- 
games  ought  to  be  reported  as  victories. 
All  the  pitchers — Forstbauer,  Rohrer  and 
Pressley — have  shown  good  stuff,  and 
wuth  a  little  tighter  defense  and  hitting 
in  the  pinches,  the  All-Kodaks  will  be 
able  to  hold  their  own  against  the  best 
in  the  section. 


Business  Manager  Goodridge  had  two 
hard  return  games  booked  at  Kodak 
Park  for  the  final  two  Sundays  of  July 
with  the  Brown-Lipe-Chapin  Company 
of  Syracuse  and  the  Knights  of  Colum- 
l)us.  The  August  schedule  calls  for  a 
game  with  the  Norwich  Clothes  on  August 
1st  at  Kodak  Park,  and  a  trip  to  Painted 
Post  on  August  22nd  to  play  the  Inger- 
soll-Rand  Company  team.

and  have  brought  to  light  several  fast 
players.  These  winners  have  been  picked 
for  the  Camera  Works  Tennis  Team  which 
challenges  any  of  the  other  branches  for

THE  WATER'S  FIXE 

The  baseball  and  soccer  players  and 
golf  and  tennis  enthusiasts  may  fight  it 
out  for  whatever  laurels  there  be.  It 
remains  for  Camera  Works  to  produce  an 
entirely  different  athletic  team — swim- 
ming, which  boldly  flings  its  challenge  in 
the  face  of  the  other  plants,  hankering,  as 
it  were,  for  a  chance  to  show  its  prowess. 

The  Camera  Works  has  a  "nifty" 
bunch  of  plungers,  di\'ers  and  speed  men. 
They  would  like  to  meet  similar  teams 
from  the  other  plants,  in  both  individual 
events  and  relays.  The  lead-off  man  is 
evidently    too    good    to    reveal.  The 

Camera  Workers  choose  to  designate  him 
by  that  "meaningless"  or  "meaningful" 
title  "John  Doe."  They  call  him  a  dark 
horse  and  they  mean  to  keep  him  dark 
until  some  other  plant  puts  up  a  compet- 
ing team.  The  other  Camera  Works  fish 
are: 


E.  I  mo, 
E.  Chambers, 
K.  C.  Brooks, 
W.  :\liller, 
P.  Petrin, 


D.  Dodson, 

J.  Hungerford, 
R.  Pemberton, 
J.  Dineen, 

E.  J.  Sullivan.

this  offer  you  any  help  on  that  entertain- 
ment program  that's  been  worrying  you?) 


AT  THE  MXETEEXTH  HOLE 

A  goodly  number  of  aspirants  are  out 
after  that  Kodak  golf  crown.  Some 
twenty  devotees  of  the  Scotch  pastime 
have  entered  for  the  tournament  sug- 
gested in  the  July  number  of  the  Kodak 
Magazine.  The  Editor  even  went  so  far 
as  to  unearth  his  long  lost  clubs  and  to 
invest  in  some  new  balls,  getting  all  set 
for  Sundav — and  then  it  rained. 


If  the  length  of  the  entry  list  is  any 
criterion,  the  Camera  Works  ought  to 
stand  a  good  chance  to  walk  off  with  the 
prize.  Headed  by  "Jack"  Robertson,  the 
Camera  Works  squad  includes  .seven  con- 
testants: R.  Heaphy,  A.  Heaphy,  J. 
Heaphy,  J.  Campbell,  G.  Millspaugh,  G. 
Henry,  G.  McMurray.  Hawk-Eye  has 
the  next  largest  squad  with  James Weldon, 
William  Springer,  Clifford  Johnson,  F.  H. 
A^on  Deben,  Paul  Lyddon  and  Wilbur 
Woodams.  Main  Office  entries  include 
F.  O.  Strowger,  S.  B.  Hord,  Wm.  E. 
Silsby  and  John  W^  Newton.  Premo  is 
represented  by  Ralph  K.  Hutchings  and 
Robert  Broxholm.  Ed.  Goodridge  is  car- 
rying the  whole  weight  of  the  Kodak 
Park  reputation  on  his  shoulders,  being 
the  only  entrant  for  that  plant.  Folmer- 
Century  failed  to  show  any  golf 
enthusiasts. 

The  tournament  will  be  played  oft'  in 
the  course  of  the  next  week  or  two,  the 
results  being  announced  in  the  September 
number  of  the  Magazine.

THROUGH  THE  UMP'S  MASK 

Bv  "Murph" 


TRAVELLING  WITH  THE  ALL-KODAKS 

The  team  made  a  6ne  showing  at  Syracuse,  losing 
.5  to  0,  through  lack  of  hitting. 

In  the  evening,  the  boys  took  a  trip  to  Long 
Branch,  a  summer  resort,  but  Manager  Murphy 
ordered  them  all  to  return  at  dusk,  as  it  was  getting 
near  Schlicht's  bed-time. 

A  large  nunil)er  of  fouls  went  over  into  the  street. 
When  Kivell  didn't  appear  xmtil  0.30 — and  with  a 
good  appetite — well,  we  all  know  how  "Charlie" 
likes  baseballs.  Not  long  ago,  he  dropped  one 
while  boarding  a  train  at  Batavia,  and  missed  the 
train.  They  had  to  bring  him  into  Perry  on  a 
hand-car.  He  calls  them  apples.  Charles,  kindly 
let  us  know  when  the  apple-sauce  will  be  ready. 

The  boys  dropped  two  hard-fought  contests  at 
Deferiet,  7  to  3  and  3  to  2.  Forstbauer  pitched 
the  Sunday  game,  during  which  constant  rain  made 
proper  handling  of  the  Ijall  out  of  the  question. 
Levine's  hard-hit  ball  to  right  went  for  a  homer. 

The  following  day,  witii  Rohrer  pitching  beauti- 
ful ball,  the  Kodak's  led,  1  to  0,  up  to  the  seventh. 
Levine  made  the  circuit  on  another  clout  to  right. 
The  fans  began  yelling  at  the  home  team  for  action, 
telling  them  to  "Kodak  As  You  Go."  The  St 
Regis  boys  responded  nobly,  pushing  over  three  runs 
to  sew  up  the  game. 

Kodak  had  filled  tiie  bases  in  the  ninth  with  two 
out,  when  six  Kodak  j^layers  started  to  leave  the 
field.  The  L^mpire  stopped  play,  called  them  back 
to  the  bench,  and  asked  them  if  they  didn't  want 
to  win.  One  of  them  replied:  "How  can  we?  Look 
who's  batting!" 

Yoder  claimed  that  if  he  hadn't  lost  the  handle 
on  his  club,  making  it  hard  to  reach  a  curve  ball 
with  a  short  stick,  things  would  have  been  different. 

Boys,  page  Pat  Hurley! 


Pat  Hurley  is  the  real  baseball  fan  of  Deferiet. 
He  backed  the  Kodaks  to  the  extent  of  $'■2.  He  asked 
Yoder  if  he  was  a  Camera  W'orker.  When  Lee 
said:  "Yes,"  Pat  replied:  "From  the  way  you 
reach,  I  thought  you  worked  on  a  mail-train." 

Bircher  started  some  comedy,  whereupon 
remarked:  "If  your  team  is  anything  like 
Cameras  thev  make,  it's  a  dandv." 


Pat 
the 


Keep  your  eye  on  Hawk-Eye.  Those  boys  are 
playing  ball.  With  Mort  Fox  in  the  line-up,  they 
look  like  winners. 

Manager  Yoder's  Champions  are  putting  up  a 
strong  game.  This  team  is  particularly  well  sup- 
plied with  good  players.  As  we  all  know,  they're 
strong  finishers. 

Kodak  Park  has  been  a  big  surprise.  Manager 
Bircher  has  built  a  fast  club  out  of  last  year's  tail- 
enders.  This  team,  like  Camera  W^orks,  is  well 
supplied  with  good  material. 

Gus  Sej-fried's  Main  Office  bunch  is  looking  much 
better  than  at  the  start  of  the  season.  With  the 
pitching  "Toddy"  Diehl  has  been  serving  up,  and  the 
good  all-around  work  of  "Ned"  Ogden  and  "Speed" 
Wagner,  this  gang  is  a  mighty  hard  team  to  beat. 

Premo  has  a  well-balanced  club,  and  with  the 
pitching  of  "Lefty"  Serth  is  capable  of  causing  the 
leaders  a  lot  of  trouble. 

Folmer-Century  got  away  to  a  bad  start.  How- 
ever, if  they  can  add  a  good  pitcher,  they  ought  to 
come  fast,  for  "Pat"  Petroske  and  his  mates  swing 
a  wicked  stick. 

"Get  a  hit  for  'Little  Dutch'  "  is  the  Main  Office 
war-cry  these  days.  And  "Dutch"  is  hitting  "em, 
too,  to  the  tune  of  .316.

The  Vest  Pocket 
KODAK 

With  a  "\>st  Pocket"  you're  always  ready 
for  the  unexpected  that  is  sure  to  happen. 

Your  larger  camera  you  carry  when  you  plan 
to  take  pictures.  The  \^est  Pocket  Kodak  3'ou 
have  constantly  with  you  to  capture  the  charms

nothing  in  quality. 

The  price  is  $9.49.  Film  for  8  exposures  is

Safeguards  to  be 
Painted  Green 

THE  Executive  Safety  Committee, 
with  the  approval  of  the  Managers, 
has  adopted  green,  the  universal  safety 
color,  for  all  machine  and  other 
guards.  Red,  which  has  been  used 
heretofore,  will  be  retained  exclu- 
sively for  fire  fighting  apparatus. 

This  change  will  be  made  gradu- 
allv,  new  guards  being  painted  green 
and  also  the  old  ones  as  they  require 
re-painting.

of  deciding  quickly,  of  taking  the

MR.   EASTMAN   IN  JAPAN 


MR.  EASTMAN  has  returned 
from  Japan  with  many  inter- 
esting impressions  of  that 
country.  He  made  the  visit  as  a  member 
of  a  small  party  of  representative 
American  financiers,  bankers  and  business 
men,  invited  by  Japanese  associations 
to  cross  the  pond  and  discuss  informally 
many  questions  affecting  the  business 
relations  of  the  two  countries. 

The  party  was  given  every  oppor- 
tunity, through  open  discussion  in 
conference  and  travel,  to  study  at  first 
hand  many  phases  of  Japanese  life — 
industrial,  commercial,  social  and  official. 
Their  hosts,  too,  men  of  prominence  in 
Japan,  many  of  them  educated  in  Ameri- 
can colleges,  for  the  most  part  spoke 
English  quite  fluently,  so  that  they  were 
able  to  converse  freely  with  their  guests 
on  a  multitude  of  topics  and  impart  a 
great  deal  of  valualile  information.  ]\Iuch 
of  this  information  Mr.  Eastman  has 
already  imparted  to  the  daily  papers 
in  a  number  of  interviews,  and  his  sound 
views  on  political,  social,  economic  and 
general  trade  conditions  there  have  no 
doubt  already  been  read  with  interest 
by  readers  of  the  Kodak  Magazine. 

That  the  door  of  opportunity  is  open 
wide  for  a  rich  trade  l)etwecn  this  c-ountry 
and  Japan,  Mr.  Eastman  is  firmly 
convinced.  Japan  needs  the  American 
market — what  would  we  do  without 
her  silks,  for  instance? — needs  American 
capital,  needs  machinery  and  even 
American  inventive  genius  for  her  own 
industrial  development.  Just  as  we, 
on  our  side,  need  the  Japanese  market. 


which,  as  Mr.  Eastman  points  out,  is  a 
very  large  and  important  one. 

As  a  basis  for  closer  reciprocal  business 
relations,  Japan  wants  American  friend- 
ship; wants  above  all  things  to  allay  that 
suspicion  with  which  we  sometimes 
regard  her.  And  her  object  in  inviting 
into  friendly  conference  representative 
business  and  financial  men  of  both 
countries,  was  to  clear  up,  if  possible, 
the  atmosphere  of  misunderstanding  and 
open  the  way  for  the  continuance  of  the 
ancient  friendly  relations.  The  Jajjanese 
who  sat  at  the  conference  were  men 
of  keen  understanding  and  vision, 
interested  only  in  the  legitimate  develop- 
ment of  their  country  and  thoroughly 
alive  to  the  direction  in  which  Ja{)anese 
development  lies. 

Of  the  friendly  sentiment  of  Japan 
toward  this  country,  the  American  party 
were  never  left  in  doubt.  Nothing  could 
have  exceeded  the  welcome  extended 
to  them  wherever  they  went.  From 
the  moment  the  party  embarked  at 
Seattle  on  April  10,  until  its  return  to 
San  Francisco  on  May  31,  every  want 
seemed  to  be  anticipated.  If  the 
morning  hours  of  their  stay  were  devoted, 
with  characteristic  Japanese  thorough- 
ness, to  the  serious  business  of  the 
conference,  the  rest  of  the  day  was,  with 
equal  thoroughness,  devoted  to  sight 
seeing  and  social  entertainment. 

Mr.  Eastman  was  himself  the  guest 
of  Baron  Mitsui  (a  sort  of  Japanese 
Pierpont  Morgan — with  extensive  finan- 
cial and  ])usiness  interests  in  his  country), 
at  a  villa,  built  in  European  style,  and 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


A  group  of  our  Japanese  brethren  grouped  about  Mr.  Eastman  on  the  occasion  of  his  recent  visit  to  Japan.    This  picture  was 
takenjustbeforethe  banquet  tendered  Mr.  Eastman  by  Messrs.  Asanuma  and  Messrs.  Kuwada,  to  which  all  dealers  were  invited. 
Mr.  Asanuma,  in  European  clothes,  is  on  Mr.  Eastman's  left,  and  Mr.  Kuwada  immediately  in  front  of  him. 


kept  exclusively  for  the  entertainment 
of  distinguished  foreign  guests. 

Of  all  the  hospitality  which  Mr. 
Eastman  experienced  in  Japan,  however, 
none  delighted  him  more  than  the 
personal  hospitality  extended  to  him 
by  the  photographic  dealers.  That  the 
dealers  were  keenly  interested  in  the 
visit  of  the  Kodak  inventor  and  head 
of  the  world's  greatest  photographic 
industry,  was  shown  in  every  way. 
Every  courtesy  they  could  show  a 
distinguished  guest  was  extended.  They 
looked  on  the  visit  as  an  honor  and 
honored  it  as  such.  Mr.  Eastman,  on 
his  side,  was  equally  delighted  in  meeting 
his  photographic  kinsmen  of  the  Orient. 

Time  permitted  him  to  accept  only 
two  banquets  at  their  hands,  but  both 
these  were  thoroughly  congenial  and 
brilliant  affairs.  One  of  these  was 
tendered  by  Messrs.  Konishi,  of  Tokio, 
the  other  jointly  by  Messrs.  Asanuma, 
of  Tokio,  and  Messrs.  Kuwada,  of  Osaka. 
To  both  banquets,  however,  all  other 
dealers  were  thoughtfully  invited.     Our 


photographs  are  incidents  of  these 
occasions.  The  distinguished  courteous 
Japanese  gentleman  in  the  act  of  shaking 
hands  with  Mr.  Eastman  is  Mr.  Konishi, 
head  of  the  firm  of  R.  Konishi  &  Sons, 
one  of  the  leading  dealers  in  Japan. 

In  the  group  picture,  on  Mr.  Eastman's 
left,  is  Mr.  Asanuma,  the  oldest  dealer 
there,  who  began  business  in  1875,  five 
years  before  Mr.  Eastman  himself.  In 
front  of  him  is  Mr.  Kuwada,  of  Osaka, 
the  leading  dealer  in  that  city,  and  also 
one  of  the  largest  in  Japan.  The  other 
gentlemen  in  European  clothes,  Mr. 
Howard  Small  and  Mr.  A.  D.  Parker, 
need  no  introduction  to  Kodak  readers. 

The  photographic  situation  in  Japan 
naturally  interested  Mr.  Eastman  very 
keenly.  What  time  he  could  snatch 
from  the  set-piece  program  arranged 
for  the  party,  was  spent  in  visiting 
dealers'  shops  and  photographers'  studios. 
Not  all,  of  course,  for  in  Tokio  and 
vic'inity  alone  there  are  between  six  and 
seven  hundred  studios.  This  will  give 
some  idea  of  the  extent  to  which  pro- 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


fessional  photography  is  practiced  in 
that  country. 

The  story  of  the  amateur  trade  is 
told  in  the  busy  shops  of  the  dealers 
there,  in  the  Kodak  hal>it  to  which, 
Mr.  Eastman  observed,  the  Japanese 
are  almost  as  addicted  as  ourselves,  and 
in  the  figures  in  one  of  Mr.  Ames'  big 
books.  These  figures  show  that  the 
Japanese  trade  is  twenty-five  times  in 
volume  what  it  was  ten  years  ago.  It 
coujd  be  written  in  five  figures  then — 
now  it  takes  seven — fairly  sturdy  ones, 
at  that.  They  also  show  that  the  demand 
for  amateur  supplies  has  increased  faster 
in  Japan  than  in  any  other  country  in 
the  world  for  the  same  period. 

Another  peculiarity  about  the  Jap- 
anese is  that  they  want  the  best  of 
everything;  the  better  grades  of  Kodaks, 
the  best  lenses  money  can  buy,  and  one 
order  we  saw  called  for  200  Graflex 
cameras  of  one  type. 


Somebody  has  said  that  the  next 
best  thing  to  originality  is  the  ability 
to  assimilate  the  ideas  of  others.  The 
Japanese,  in  Mr.  Eastman's  opinion, 
have  this  ability  to  the  point  of  genius. 
Perhaps  it  is  this  ability  to  recognize 
and  adopt  the  best  the  Western  World 
has  to  offer,  that  has  made  her  the 
powerful  nation  she  is  today.  Her  army 
she  patterned  after  Germany,  her  navy 
after  England,  and  along  the  lines  of 
industrial  development  she  is  taking  her 
pattern  from  America. 

As  an  example  of  her  progressiveness 
along  photographic  lines,  before  and 
during  the  war.  Seed  and  Stanley  Plates 
were  used  extensively.  Mr.  Eastman, 
however,  found  them  very  enthusiastic 
over  Portrait  Film,  both  for  its  relief 
from  transportation  difficulties,  and  for 
its  superior  quality. 

In  the  studios,  Artura  has  no  competi- 
tion, and  is  used  exclusively  by  all  the

leading  photographers  for  their  high 
grade  work.  It's  the  same  story  there, 
best  materials,  best  equipment,  and  very 
often  orders  for  special  equipment, 
regardless  of  additional  cost. 

Japanese  business  is  handled  entirely 
from  Rochester,  shipments  being  made 
via  San  Francisco,  Seattle,  Tacoma  and 
Vancouver.  Shipments  are  also  made 
from  New  York  via  Panama,  especially 
large  and  bulky  shipments  of  amateur 
supplies. 

The  ports  of  entry  in  Japan  are  Yoko- 


hama and  Kobe,  the  former  for  Tokio 
and  the  latter  for  Osaka.  Tokio  and 
Osaka  are  the  great  commercial  cities  of 
Japan,  Osaka  being  also  the  great 
manufacturing  center. 

The  dealers  already  mentioned, 
Asanuma  &  Co.,  Tokio;  S.  Kuwada  & 
Sons,  Osaka,  and  R.  Konishi  &  Sons, 
Tokio,  not  only  do  a  very  large  retail 
trade  in  their  respective  cities,  but  act 
as  distributing  houses  for  smaller  dealers 
throughout  the  country.

ISN'T  IT  THE  RIGHT  IDEA? 

THE  machinery  in  the  large  factory 
was  stilh  The  men,  after  finishing 
their  midday  meal,  had  formed  into  little 
groups  in  the  factory  lunch  room  to 
gossip,  or  to  dispose  of  the  problems  of 
the  day  according  to  their  own  particular 
ideas. 

The  superintendent  was  sitting  at  one 
of  the  tables  idly  watching  the  smoke 
rise  from  his  pijje.  Nearby  two  men 
were  talking  earnestly,  and,  as  their 
conversation  waxed  warmer  their  raised 
voices  brought  these  words  plainly  to 
the  superintendent's  ears: 

"It's  no  use  trying  to  get  ahead," 
said  one.  "There's  no  chance  for  a  man 
these  days.  Just  think  where  I  would  be 
now  if  I  had  been  treated  fair.  I've 
been  here  four  years  and  the  other  day 
when  they  wanted  a  foreman  to  fill  Jim's 
shoes  they  picked  Foster.  Ain't  I  just 
as  good  as  he.*  Sure,  I've  been  here 
twice  as  long  and  ought  to  have  the  job." 

The  superintendent  walked  over  to  the 
men  slowly  and  stopped  in  front  of  tiiem. 


"Boys,"  he  said,  "I  couldn't  help  hear- 
ing what  you've  been  discussing  and 
while  I  don't  want  to  deliver  any  sermon, 
I'm  going  to  tell  you  briefly  about 
something  that  happened  to  me." 

"I  came  to  these  works  ten  years  ago 
as  a  machine  hand.  I  learned  the  ropes 
a  little  by  keeping  my  eyes  and  ears  on 
the  job  every  minute  for  three  years. 
Then  the  foreman  left  and  seeing  a  chance 
I  applied  for  the  job.  And  did  I  get  it? 
No.  Another  man  went  over  my  head 
and  got  the  job.  But,  this  particular 
disap])ointment  was  much  better  for 
me  than  the  foreman's  job  ever  could 
have  been.  I  made  up  my  mind  that 
I'd  have  to  do  something  worth  while  to 
make  myself  worthy  of  promotion. 

"Then,  I  buckled  dow^n  to  work.  Five 
nights  a  week  I  went  to  school  where  I 
learned  about  electrical  and  steam 
engineering,  shop  practice  and  drafting 
and  things  that  I  needed  to  know  in  my 
line.  ]Many  a  time  I  was  tempted  to 
give  it  up,  for  it  was  hard  going  after 
working  all  day  in  the  shop,  but  I  still 
had  my  eye  on  the  foreman's  job,  so  I 
kept  on.  Often  the  boys  would  call  me  a 
"fool"  for  devoting  all  my  evenings  a 
week  to  study  as  I  did. 

"After  two  years  had  passed  the 
foreman's  job  was  again  open.  I  didn't 
ask  for  it  this  time.  They  gave  it  to 
me.  I'm  not  telling  you  this  as  a  boast, 
but  I'm  superintendent  now  just  because 
I  was  "fool"  enough  to  buckle  down — 
study  and  learn. 

"Now,  boys,  I  want  to  ask  your  pardon 
for  having  butted  in  on  your  little 
discussion,  l)ut  you  well  know  that  I 
couldn't  refrain  from  telling  you  about 
myself,  after  I  heard  what  you  were 
talking    al^out." 

Just  then  the  whistle  blew  and  the  two 
men  "buckled  down"  to  their  jobs  with 
a  "can't  keep  me  from  gettin'  ahead" 
determination  to  do  as  the  superintendent 
and  many  other  men  higher  up  around 
them  did — to  apply  themselves  to  their 
jobs — nothing   else.

LOOKING  AHEAD 

To  get  ahead  you  have  to  plan  ahead, 
so  it  pays  us  to  keep  as  well  posted  as 
possible  on  future  conditions. 

The  general  business  situation  has 
undergone  but  little  change  in  the  last 
month  and  there  is  no  immediate  prospect 
of  lower  prices,  although  there  is  a 
tendency  in  that  direction. 

Crops  generally  have  been  good;  the 
wheat  crop  in  the  aggregate  will  probably 
exceed  850,000,000  bushels;  corn  is  com- 
ing along  in  fine  shape;  and  the  potato 
yield  promises  to  be  larger  than  last 
year. 

Cotton  promises  the  largest  yield 
since  the  record  crop  of  1914.  The  price 
of  sugar  is  on  the  down  grade  and  the 
crop  prospect  is  good.  Grain,  coal,  and 
many  other  commodities  would  be  lower 
if  the  transportation  facilities  were  better, 
but  this  hindrance  is  being  gradually 
overcome. 

The  Liberty  Bond  market  is  showing 
improvement  and  there  has  been  a  strong 
buying  by  individuals  for  investment. 

The  National  City  Bank,  to  whom 
we  are  indebted  for  this  statement, 
remarks  in  its  last  review:  "We  have 
pointed  out  the  fallacy  of  the  argument 
that  everybody  should  have  his  income 
increased  in  time  of  scarcity  in  order  to 
enable  him  to  buy  as  much  of  everything 
as  he  was  accustomed  to  buy  when  no 
scarcity  existed.  The  thing  cannot  be 
done  because  the  increase  of  income 
does  not  increase  thfe  supply  of  goods. 
There  is  no  hope  of  relief  from  the 
shortage  of  goods,  or  from  high  prices, 
or  the  chatter  about  profiteering  until 
the  people  understand  that  the  only 
remedy  is  in  producing  goods  enough  to 
go  around." 

To  sum  up  the  situation:  prospects  all 
around  are  brighter;  workers  now  realize 
that  increased  production  is  the  only 
remedy,  and  in  our  case  you  are  respond- 
ing nobly. 

Don't  expect  a  return  to  pre-war 
prices,  but  don't  worry  about  shortages; 
put  away  every  dollar  you  can  for  the 


day  when  it  will  have  greater  purchasing 
power;  avoid  extravagant  purchases;  that 
is  the  solution  of  the  problem. 


AN  IMPORTANT  DUTY 

If  the  personal  items  in  the  Kodak 
Magazine  are  a  basis  upon  which  to 
judge,  the  next  census  will  show  a  material 
increase  in  the  population  of  Rochester. 

Now  just  'sposing  there  was  a  most 
welcome  new  arrival  in  your  family 
recently,  there  is  one  highly  important 
duty  you  owe  to  him,  or  her,  or  them,  as 
the  case  may  be — that  is,  make  sure  that 
the  birth  is  properly  recorded  with  the 
local  health  authorities. 

Has  your  doctor  registered  your  baby? 

Here  are  some  of  the  reasons  why 
births  should  be  recorded: 

To  establish  identity;  to  prove  na- 
tionality; to  prove  legitimacy;  to  show 
when  the  child  has  the  right  to  enter 
school;  to  show  when  the  child  has  the 
right  to  seek  employment  under  the 
child-labor  law;  to  establish  the  right 
of  inheritance  to  property;  to  establish 
liability  to  military  duty,  as  well  as 
exemption  therefrom;  to  establish  the 
right  to  vote;  to  qualify  to  hold  title  to, 
and  to  buy  or  sell  real  estate;  to  establish 
the  right  to  hold  public  ofiice;  to  prove 
the  age  at  which  the  marriage  contract 
may  be  entered  into;  to  make  possible 
statistical  studies  of  health  conditions. 

Fill  out  this  memorandum  and  preserve 
it  for  your  baby.  It  may  save  him  much 
time,  money  and  inconvenience.

Were  yours  prize  onions,  beans,  and  corn? 
Did  the  judges  tell  you  so? 


ONCE  more  the  judges  of  the  Camera 
Works  Home  Gardeners  Association 
have  made  their  annual  rounds  of 
inspection,  and,  for  the  third  successive 
time,  two  of  the  old  stand-bys,  Frank 
O'Grady  and  Elbert  VanDuser,  came 
through  with  prizes.  O'Grady,  whose 
record  shows  first  prize  in  1918,  and  a 
Special  Cup  for  perfect  lay-out  and 
upkeep  in  1919,  repeated  his  achievement 
of  two  years  ago  and  took  top  honors. 

*This  story  belongs,  by  rights,  in  the  Camera 
^Yo^ks  section,  but  the  efforts  of  the  Camera  Works 
Home  Gardeners  Association  have  been  so  successful 
and  their  work  so  important  that  we  are  featuring 
it  here. 

The  Editor. 


Elbert  VanDuser,  last  year's  "champ," 
equalled  his  1918  record  and  pulled 
through  in  third  place.  The  second 
prize  for  19^0  was  won  by  Frank  Holman, 
whose  large  garden,  although  heavily 
shaded  and  largely  on  virgin  soil,  showed 
remarkable  production. 

Perhaps  you've  thought  that  the  life 
of  a  garden  inspector  was  one  continuous 
round  of  Sybarite  ease  and  luxury.  If 
so,  you're  wrong — dead  wrong.  To  see 
them  setting  off  in  a  nifty  gas-buggy 
with  nothing  to  do  but  ride  around  the 
city  and  look  at  potatoes  and  bugs  and 
cabbages  and  rocks  looked  like  a  cinch — 
but,    vou   should   have   heard   the   argu-

mentsi  To  begin  with,  right  off  the  bat, 
the  inspection  committee  inchided 
"CharUe"  Rogers,  "Hal"  Baldwin,  Harry 
Russell,  "Herb"  Thorpe,  Horace  Black- 
well,  Elbert  VanDiiser,  "Ernie"  Leroux, 
"Bill"  Ryan,  and  C.  W.  Reid.  Now,  if 
you  know  these  inspectors,  you  don't 
need  to  be  told  that  none  of  them  are 
exactly  in  the  pacifist  class.  Conse- 
cjuently,  when  it  came  to  figuring  out 
just  how  many  points  Mr.  So-and-So's 
garden  deserved,  there  was  considerable 
difference  of  opinion. 

Add  to  all  this  the  fact  that  there 
were  fifty-nine  gardens  entered  in  the 
contest,  and  you  will  understand  why 
it  took  five  days  and  a  half  for  the  judges 
to  make  the  entire  rounds  and  pick  the 
winners.  They  finally  narrowed  it  down 
to  eight  of  the  best,  and  went  over  these 
eight  again  before  making  the  decision. 
While  they  were  at  it,  too,  they  covered 
about  150  miles  of  city  pavement. 


Each  judge  was  sui)plied  with  a  com- 
putation sheet  on  whicli  to  rate  the 
gardens  he  insjjected.  These  gardens 
were  numberetl,  and  the  inspector  knew 
the  garden  by  its  number  rather  than 
by  the  name  of  the  owner.  This  is  the 
way  the  record  looked:

To  make  the  judging  still  more  accurate ..

A  WORD  OF  CAUTION 


THE  attention  of  the  writer  has  been 
called  several  times  recently  to  the  ex- 
periences of  friends  in  alleged  x-ray  labora- 
tories. 

It  is,  of  course,  understood  that  in  the 
hands  of  competent,  trained  medical  ex- 
perts or  "roentgenologists,"  x-rays  are 
rapidly  becoming  of  indispensable  value 
in  the  diagnosis  of  diseases,  but  it  is,  alas, 
also  true  that  the  lack  of  knowledge  on 
the  part  of  the  average  person  of  the  possi- 
bilities of  x-ray  science  has  been  played 
upon  by  certain  conscienceless  organiza- 
tions. 

X-rays,  since  their  discovery  by  Roent- 
gen in  1895,  have  been  enclosed  in  an 
atmosphere  of  mystery  to  the  average  lay- 
man; therefore  it  might  be  of  interest  to 
some,  and  a  protection  to  a  few,  to  know 
some  of  the  possibilities  of  their  use. 

X-rays  are  merely  a  form  of  radiation, 
very  similar  to  light.  They  differ  from 
light  in  that  they  are  not  visible  and  in 
that  they  will  penetrate  substances  which 
are  not  at  all  transparent  to  ordinary 
light.  This  does  not  mean,  however,  that 
the  substances  penetrated  are  seen  by 
the  observer  in  their  natural  perspective 
and  colors.  Far  from  it.  X-rays  pene- 
trate substances  in  proportion  to  the  den- 
sity of  the  materials  or  "elements"  in 
them;  hence  they  rather  easily  penetrate 
flesh,  which  is  made  up  of  light  elements 
like  carbon,  hydrogen  and  oxygen,  but  do 
not  so  readily  penetrate  bones,  which  in- 
clude in  their  composition  heavy  elements 
such  as  potassium  and  calcium. 

In  making  an  x-ray  picture  of  the  hand, 
then,  a  photographic  plate,  in  a  light-tight 
holder,  is  put  just  under  the  hand.  X-rays 
affect  a  plate — through  the  holder — quite 
like  light,  and  when  the  negative  is  devel- 
oped an  outline  of  the  bones  is  obtained. 

By  x-ray  photography,  then,  we  can 
only  show  "shadow' '  pictures  of  the  parts 
penetrated  by  x-rays.  We  are  concerned 
with  interpreting  results,  which  are  dis- 
played as  outlines.  By  no  system  of  pre- 
sent-day x-ray  application  can  the  entire 


structure  of  the  human  body  be  seen  as 
such.  It  is  logical  to  reason,  then,  that  the 
study  of  the  shadow  pictures  obtained  in 
x-ray  photography  is  a  very  special  phase 
of  medical  practice,  requiring  considerable 
x-ray  experience  and  a  knowledge  of  an- 
atomy to  intelligently  handle,  and  in  such 
difficult  cases  as  stomach  or  intestinal 
disturbances  helpful  diagnosis  can  only 
come  after  a  thorough  examination  of  a 
series  of  shadow  negatives. 

Many  sick  people  have  been  led  to 
believe  that  x-ray  specialists  could  actu- 
ally see  into  their  bodily  structure  and 
watch  the  organs  function  the  same  as 
though  they  were  laid  open  on  an  operat- 
ing table.  This  is  absolutely  wrong.  Vis- 
ual examination  by  x-rays  is  made  in  this 
way: — X-rays  cause  certain  chemicals  to 
emit  light,  or  fluoresce.  Calcium  tung- 
state  is  such  a  chemical  compound.  What 
is  known  in  medical  science  as  a  "fluoro- 
scopic screen' '  is  made  by  coating  a  layer 
of  this  compound  on  a  piece  of  cardboard. 
When  this  sheet  is  put  in  place  of  a  photo- 
graphic plate,  it  lights  up  visually  in  pro- 
portion to  the  quantity  of  x-rays  striking 
it;  hence  when  the  hand,  for  example,  is 
held  between  the  x-ray  tube  and  the  screen 
the  rays  going  through  the  bones  are 
stopped  more  than  those  going  through 
the  flesh,  and  the  bones  appear  dark  on  a 
bright  background.  The  image  seen  is 
merely  a  projection  of  x-rays  through  the 
hand  and  is  in  no  sense  a  picture  of  the 
hand.  When  a  patient  stands  before  such 
a  screen,  the  part  examined,  if  covered  at 
all,  must  be  clothed  only  in  some  thin 
material  free  from  buttons  or  other  dense 
materials  which  would  stop  the  x-rays. 
To  attempt  a  visual  examination  of  a 
man's  chest  covered  with  a  woolen  coat 
and  vest  would  be  absurd.  It  would  be 
almost  equally  as  absurd  to  attempt  to 
diagnose  diseases  by  merely  standing  a 
patient  before  a  fluoroscopic  screen  with- 
out an  added  examination  using  plates  or 
films;  that  is,  of  course,  except  in  cases 
like  broken  bones  or  where  metallic  bodies 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE

are  embedded.  In  these  cases  the  shadows 
are  usually  very  distinct  and  certain. 

It  is  refreshing  to  know,  however,  that 
the  section  of  the  medical  profession  which 
is  specializing  in  x-ray  diagnosis  is  indeed 
making  wonderful  strides  in  applying  these 
principles.  These  specialists  have  dev^elop- 
ed  a  science  for  interpreting  the  "  shadow" 
negatives  which  is  daily  becoming  more 
exact,  and  hence  more  helpful  to  the  pub- 
lic. Furthermore,  manufacturers  have 
made  x-ray  apparatus  so  simple  that  more 
and  more  physicians  are  studying  their 
usefulness  and  bringing  their  benefits  in 
wider  measure  to  the  general  public.  It  is 
to  such  a  specialist  that  one  should  go 
when  in  need  of  x-ray  diagnosis.  It  won't 
cost  any  more  in  dollars  and  cents  in  the 
end,  and  if  x-rays  can  give  any  help 
you  will  get  it. 

In  conclusion,  it  is  my  own  personal 
opinion  that  it  is  best  to  be  very  careful 
about  patronizing  any  of  the  physicians 
or  "commercial  clinics"  who  advertise  in 
the  newspapers  as  being  competent  to 
make  diagnoses  with  x-rays.  I  am  assured 
by  Dr.  Sawyer  that  our  own  Medical  De- 
partment will  be  glad  at  all  times  to  furn- 
ish to  us  names  of  both  competent  x-ray 
examiners  and  medical  specialists.

A  "C.  Q.  D." 

If  you  had  to  hunt  for  a  house  or  a  flat 
last  spring  you  discovered  that  they 
were  just  about  as  scarce  as  hen's  teeth. 

The  housing  situation  has  not  im- 
proved; meanwhile  we  have  many  new 
employees,  and  some  old  ones  seeking 
quarters  for  the  winter. 

You  can  help  relieve  the  situation; 
if  you  hear  that  any  iiouse  or  flat  is  likely 
to  be  for  rent,  please  telephone  Miss 
Crafts  or  Miss  Gill,  Industrial  Relations 
Department,  Main  Office.  If  you  wait 
until  the  house  is  placarded,  or  advertised, 
it  will,  in  most  cases,  be  too  late. 


IX  WHAT  CLASS  ARE  YOU.' 

Business  experts,  after  studying  em- 
ployees in  relation  to  efficiency,  claim 
that  in  most  firms  of  any  size  there  are 
three  kinds  of  men:  ten  per  cent,  who 
help,  eighty  per  cent,  who  are  a  habit, 
and  ten  per  cent,  who  are  a  hindrance. 

First,  the  man  who  helps.  He  is  the 
employee  who  takes  a  keen  interest  in 
the  whole  concern.  He  is  glad  when  the 
company  has  lots  of  business.  He  really 
feels  that  he  is  part  of  the  firm.  He 
often  does  more  than  is  expected  of  him. 
He  tries  to  help.  He  puts  in  his  spare 
time  qualifying  for  a  better  job.  When 
he  is  given  a  job  to  do,  he  does  not  enlarge 
on  the  difficulty  or  impossibility  of  it, 
but  goes  ahead  and  puts  it  over  in  a 
real  satisfactory  manner,  for  that  which 
satisfies  him  usually  satisfies  his  employer. 

Second,  the  man  who  is  a  habit.  He 
is  a  good  worker,  takes  more  or  less 
interest  in  his  job,  but  seldom  worries 
himself  in  the  least  about  the  company 
generally.  He  knows  no  other  job  than 
his  own,  for  he  has  made  it  a  habit. 
He  hates  to  be  shifted  from  one  job  to 
another.  Altogether  he  is  a  good,  useful 
man,  but  keeps  himseli  from  promotion — 
he  has  nailed  himself  to  a  routine. 

And  now  for  the  third  man — the  man 
who  is  a  hindrance.  This  fellow  hates 
his  job  and  dislikes  his  foreman.  He 
does  not  want  to  work  and  almost  feels 
he  has  a  grievance  against  the  company 
for  giving  him  a  chance  to  earn  his 
living.  He  is  strong  on  objecting;  great 
on  refusing.  He  is  against  every  new 
change  and  improvement.  He  hinders. 
He  is  a  man  who  can  never  be  promoted 
and  sometimes  has  to  be  discharged,  no 
matter  where  he  may  work. 

Has  this  classification  of  workers  ever 
struck  you  in  this  light,  fellow  Kodaker? 
If  so,  in  what  class  would  you  place 
yourself?  In  what  class  do  you  think 
our  employers  place  us? 

Tack  yourself  on  the  analysis  sheet! 

Where  do  you  land?

CAMERA  WORKS  (GARDEN  INSPECTION 


It  might  liave  l)een  the  rity  assessors  or  a  group 
of  real  estate  buyers,  but  it  was  not.  It  was  the 
Garden    Inspection    Committee. 

"Oh,  Mother-r-r,  liere's  some  men  who  want  to 
see  daddy's  garden."  Mother  comes  running  to 
the  door,  and,  sure  enough,  the  committee  was 
there  with  big  books  and  long  pencils,  and  the 
expectancy  of  a  100  per  cent,  garden  floating  before 
their  eyes. 

"Go  right  back  of  the  house,  gentlemen.  You'll 
find  that  my  husband  (or  son)  has  worked  very 
hard,  and  he's  done  every  bit  of  it  himself."  First 
went  the  children,  then  the  committee,  and  then 
Mother,  all  anxious  to  find  out  the  result  of  father's 
labor. 

We  usually  made  a  bee  line  for  the  cabbage. 
The  prevailing  conditions  affecting  this  vegetable 
were  certainly  not  100  per  cent.  The  cabbage 
worms  have  spoiled  every  garden!  There  is  always 
something  of  a  mystery  about  destructive  bugs,  and 
it  seems  illogical  that  nature  should  produce  whole- 
some things,  only  to  be  made  unwholesome  by 
another  of  her  products.     However,  don't  get  the 


impression  that  the  bugs  and  worm.s  were  all  we  saw. 
There  were  some  mighty  fine  vegetables  of  some 
sort  in  almost  every  garden.  It  really  makes  hard 
work  of  judging  when  one  has  to  look  at  rows  of 
succulent  carrots  and  juicy  beets,  to  say  nothing 
of  tomatoes  and  beans,  just  crying  to  be  eaten. 

This  year  we  had  a  little  different  arrangement 
regarding  the  Inspection  Committee.  Instead  of  a 
permanent  committee  of  three — as  in  previous  years 
— there  was  an  alternating  one  of  six.  The  idea 
was  to  get  an  entirely  fresh  view  point  from  each 
committeeman — and  we  got  it!  Several  gardens 
required  great  precision  of  judgment.  Ask  E. 
Van  Duser,  or  Clarence  Reid,  or  Horace  Blackwell, 
or  Chas.  Russell,  and  then,  if  you  don't  get  an  idea 
as  to  what  we  run  up  against,  ask  Charlie  Rogers. 
Charles  was  with  us,  and  believe  me,  he  is  some  cute 
little  inspector. 

There  were  .59  gardens  entered  in  the  contest, 
and  the  judging  consumed  five  and  one-half  days 
of  time  and  about  1.50  miles  of  travel.  After 
carefully  figuring  up  the  points,  and  comparing 
one  entrv  with  another  in  the  four  distinct  classes

the  expert  opinion  of  Hal  IJaldwin  and  rejudged  the

The  c'ontest  would  have  run  even  closer  had  the

lay-out.  Most  of  the  missing  points  were  lost 
because  of  these  two  omi.ssions.  Next  year  plan 
your  garden  on  paper  fir.sf;  also  make  your  rows 
continuous,  running  north  and  south.  Don't  be 
di.scouraged  because  you  were  not  in  the  final  number

and  plan  ahead — it  pays.

always  interested  in  employees'  activities  and 
particularly  so  in  the  Gardening  Association. 
He  spent  one  morning  with  the  Secretary  visiting 
the  Prize  Winning  Gardens,  and  don't  run  away 
with  the  thought  that  because  "Jack""  is  a  General

FIRST  PRIZE  IX  ESSAY  COMPETITION 
"WHY  I  AM  A  GARDENER' 

By  George  Powers 

Looking  back  to  the  days  of  my  childhood  I 
think  I  was  always  a  sort  of  a  gardener.  I  know 
I  always  helped  in  the  garden  then.  Still,  it  was 
not  until  later  years  when  the  garden  was  my  owti 
that  my  real  interest  was  awakened,  and  each  year 
that  interest  has  grown  stronger  and  stronger  until 
now  my  garden  is  as  much  a  part  of  my  life  as  each 
returning  season. 

I  consider  the  time  spent  in  my  garden  as  my 
most  profitable  investment.  Those  first  early 
spring  days  when  I  scan  the  drying  earth  and  decide 
about  how  soon  I  can  begin  to  work  the  ground, 
are  days  spent  out  in  the  fresh  air  and  sunshine. 
Each   moment   so   spent   returns    double    interest. 


GEORGE  POWERS 

The  hours  I  spend  in  the  evening  in  my  garden  are 
my  tonic  for  the  long  days  spent  in  the  shop,  and 
the  benefits  I  have  gained  from  having  fresh  gath- 
ered vegetables  to  place  on  my  table  cannot  be 
counted.  My  garden  is  always  a  wonder  to  me 
educationally.  Each  year  nature  has  surprises  in 
store  for  me,  and,  never  until  my  last  crop  is  in, 
do  I  know  just  what  she  has  been  doing.  She  has 
taught  me  lessons  in  patience,  faithfulness,  and 
vigilance.  My  garden  is  also  a  benefit  to  me 
financially.  I  rai.se  nearly  all  my  winter  \-egetables, 
and,  together  with  my  orchard,  my  fruit  and 
vegetable  cellar,  is  a  goodly  thing  to  look  at  about 
Christmas  time.  I  have  also  captured  a  couple  of 
prizes  on  my  vegetables  in  the  Camera  Works 
Garden  Exhibit,  which  has  been  a  stimulant  for 
me  to  try  and  do  a  little  better  next  year. 

I  hope  in  my  declining  years  I  shall  always  have  a 
garden,  and  feel  that  as  long  as  I  can  make  things 
grow  I  am  still  of  some  use  in  the  world. 


SECOND   PRIZE   IX  ESSAY    COMPETITION 
'WHY  I  AM  A  GARDENER'' 
By  Fr.\xk  Fisher 

Gardening  is  my  favorite  occupation.  To 
describe  the  enjoyments  and  benefits  that  I  receive 
from  my  garden  would  be  an  impossible  feat.  I 
will  attempt  to  say  only  the  principal  reasons. 

Especially  in  these  trying  times  when  food  is  so 
scarce,  and  the  cost  of  living  is  sky  high,  the  home 
garden  is  a  necessity.  We  must  at  least  supply 
ourselves  with  all  the  vegetables  we  need  summer 
and  winter.  We  must  have  a  garden,  anfl  do 
something  extra  besides  our  regular  routine  to 
make  up  for  the  loss  that  we  incurred  to  secure 
our  great  victory  in  the  World  War.  By  increasing 
the  supply  we  will  satisfy  the  demand,  and  doing 
so,  things  will  go  back  to  normal  conditions  with 
greater  speed.  Xot  counting  these  patriotic 
obligations,  think  of  the  improvement  for  our 
health  and  community!  The  energy  spent  in 
working  our  garden  will  be  fully  replenished  with 
red  blood  in  our  veins.  It  is  hard  work,  we  all 
know,  and  we  may  get  tired — but  not  sick  or  lazy. 

Eight  hours  of  sound  sleep  will  put  us  in  excellent 
condition  for  the  next  day,  and,  believe  me,  the 
work  I  put  in  my  garden  brings  peace  and  happiness 
to  my  soul.  After  I  have  spent  an  hour  or  two  in 
my  garden  every  evening  I  feel  contented,  knowing 
that  I  have  done  a  little  more. 

I  enjoy  with  keen  interest  planting  things  and 
watching  them  grow,  and  gathering  them  when 
they  are  at  their  best,  for  I  know  they  are  fresh, 
clean,  more  appetizing,  full  of  natural  flavor  and 
goodness. 

It  pays  to  have  a  garden,  no  matter  how  small, 
and  it  promotes  health  and  wealth.  Let  all  of  us 
have  a  garden  next  year. 


AX  APPRECIATIOX 

The  following  letter  was  mailed  to  the  Editor, 
and  is  being  printed  as  a  token  of  appreciation  for 
services  rendered  by  the  company: 

Rochester,  X'.  Y., 
Mr.  H.  S.  Thorpe,  August  8,  I9i0. 

Dear  Sir: 

Through  you,  as  Editor  of  the  Camera  Works 
Section  of  the  Kodak  Magazine,  I  wish  to  congratu- 
late the  Eastman  Kodak  Company  and  Mr.  George 
Eastman — as  the  Main  Spring — for  the  splendid 
system  for  the  employees. 

Had  the  misfortune  to  have  my  foot  badly  crushed 
while  moving  machinery  in  the  factory,  and  had 
three  bones  broken,  and  a  cut  three  inches  long 
across  the  joint  of  my  great  toe.  Great  praise  is 
due  to  Drs.  Slater  and  Sawwer  for  the  skill  and 
attention  they  gave  my  foot,  which  is  now  as  good 
as  ever.     The  nurses  were  very  kind  and  attentive. 

The  heads  of  the  different  departments  are  good- 
natured  and  the  employees  sociable.  Most 
everyone  has  a  smile. 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  work  in  a  factory  of  that  kind. 
Yours  very  truly, 

David  O'Connor

Several  inquiries  regarding  the  future  of  the  Story 
Tellers'  Class  have  elicited  the  information  that 
the  coming  autumn  and  winter  sessions  will  hold 
many  surprises  in  the  shape  of  competitions  and 
general  photographic  work.  Developing  tanks  and 
dark  room  apparatus  will  l)e  at  the  service  of  the 
members,  and  there  is  no  question  that  for  interest 
and  general  education  the  Story  Tellers'  Class  will 
rank  ace  high  in  our  winter  activities. 


Leslie  Jackson  is  wearing  "the  smile  that  won't 
come  off"  and  we  don't  blame  him.  Just  a  little 
idea  applied  to  his  job  netted  him  $25.00  as  an 
award  for*a  suggestion.  Don't  say  "It's  luck," 
or  "Pretty  soft;"  just  figure  out  what  the  Good 
Book  means  by  saying  "Go  thou  and  do  likewise." 


Sam  Harvey  and  George  Brooks  are  deadly  rivals 
in  tomatoes.  They  compare  notes,  and  bring 
samples,  and  its  hard  to  choose  the  winner.  Sam 
says  he  thought  the  Daylight  Saving  Law  would 
shorten  up  the  growing  season,  but  he  can't  see 
where  it  has  harmed  the  garden  any. 


Helen  Englert,  V.  P.  Assembling  Department, 
was  married  to  Henry  Van  Gemert  on  August  oth 
at  St.  Michael's  Church.     Best  wishes. 


John  McGovern  and  Ed  Colgrove  are  raising 
potatoes  on  a  large  scale.  The  trouble  is  now  that 
they  are  worrying  for  fear  of  a  large  scale  being 
raised  on  the  potatoes!

McMurray  and  Campbell  sure  can  swing  a  wicked 
club.  Those  $8  clubs  from  Spaulding's  are  might\ 
tough  and  hard  to  break.  Ask  A.  Heaphy.  He 
knows.  Millspaugh's  golf  is  good,  but  his  counting 
is  not.  Jack  Heaphy's  idea  of  "the  end  of  a  perfect 
day" — the  ninth  hole  with  the  green  in  the  center 
of  the  river. 


On  the  date  of  this  publication  the  Camera  Works 
Gardening  As.sociation  will  have  held  its  fifth  annual 
exhibition.  Several  interesting  photographs  will 
be  reproduced  in  the  October  number  of  the  Kodak 
Magazine,  and  also  pictures  of  the  Industrial 
Gardening  Exhibit  at  the  Exposition. 


"Visit  your  Gardening  Exhibit  at  the  Rochester 
Exposition." 


Barney  Alstad,  our  engraver  in  the  Tool  Room, 
took  a  trip  to  Washmgton  and  Philadelphia 
to  visit  the  Bureau  of  Engraving  and  Printing, 
and  also  the  U.  S.  Mint.  On  his  return  Barney 
said:  "If  you  had  seen  all  the  money  that  they 
were  making  so  easily,  you  would  have  felt  the  same 
wav  that  I  did — dizzv!" 


Chas.  Roller,  of  the  Milling  Department,  had  a 
slight  accident  with  his  new  Ford  the  other  day. 
The  wires  got  crossed  some  way  and  caught  fire. 
Charles  grasped  the  burning  wMre  and  cut  it  in 
two  with  his  knife.  He  burned  his  fingers,  but 
saved  the  car.     Quite  a  hero,  say  we! 


Bill  Lawrence,  that  genial  soul  from  the  Offices 
wishes  to  state  that  if  there  are  any  more  weddings, 
from  the  7th  floor  he  will  have  to  send  out  an 
S.  O.  S.  for  old  shoes. 


Joe  Di  Biase,  of  Department  11,  turned  in  one 
of  those  "come  back  suggestions;"  that  is,  a 
suggestion  whereby  the  saving  in  material  is  figured 
each  year,  and  a  reward  is  made  at  different  periods 
from  the  original  suggestion.  Joe  has  just  received 
another  "dividend"  of  $25  from  a  suggestion  turned 
in  last  year.  One  of  this  type  is  really  worth  while, 
and  the  additional  awards  should  be  an  incentive 
to  try  hard  for  suggestions  relating  to  saving  in  cost 
of  production. 

Sympathy  is  extended  to  Betty  Johnstone,  of 
the  Office,  on  the  death  of  her  father.

WHO  CAN  BEAT  THIS? 

The  Inspection  Department  is  far  from  prominent 

in  location,  l>eing  tucked  away  in  a  corner  on  the 
6th  floor,  but  something  extraordinary,  or  worthy 
of  mention,  cannot  be  "hid  under  a  bushel"  very 
long,  and  the  fame  of  the  department  will  be  promi- 
nent from  now  on. 

Here's  the  secret! 

Charles  Houck — befter  knoivn  a.i  Charlie — has 
not  been  late  for  ^6  years. 

It  seems  hardly  credible,  but  the  records  we  have 
go  to  prove  this  fact.  Furthermore,  Charlie  has 
not  lost  any  time  in  all  those  years  except  in  cases 
of  absolute  sickness.  We  have  on  file  several  men 
and  women  who  have  a  perfect  attendance  of  1  to 
5  years,  but  a  record  of  '■26  years  was  a  new  one. 
Charlie  didn't  boast  of  the  fact  either,  but  he  had 
to  acknowledge  it  was  right.  Whether  Charlie 
has  a  special  dispensation  from  the  Gods  of  Luck, 
or  whether  he  carries  a  rabbit's  foot,  or  how  he  does 
it — w^e  can't  tell.  Anyway,  it's  a  prov^en  fact, 
and  it  should  be  an  incentive  to  try  it  out  for  at 
least  one  year,  and  then,  to  use  Charlie's  own  words, 
"The  rest  is  easv." 


THE  IRISH  VS.  THE  GERMANS 
No,  this  is  not  a  history  of  the  World's  War,  but 
just  an  Indoor  Baseball  game,  and  in  spite  of  the 
opposing  factions,  a  pretty  friendly  one  at  that. 

The  Shutter  Room  contains  a  live  bunch  of  people 
who  are  very  interested  in  sporting  rivalry,  and  the 
idea  of  two  "international"  baseball  teams  created 
much  interest.     The  line-up  was  as  follows:

Exposition  Park  was  the  stage  of  the  sham  battle, 
and  the  real  exciting  point  of  the  game  was  when  the 
two  battalions  came  to  a  close  skirmish — much  to 
the  consternation  of  Umpire  Ritz — regarding  a  foul 
tip  in  the  Ttli  inning.  The  Germans  declared  that 
the  umpire  had  ear  muffs  on,  but  the  Irish  won  that 
decision,  and  also  the  game,  which  ended  in  a  score 
of  9  to  6. 


Frank  O'Brien,  of  the  Tool  Supervision  Depart- 
ment, is  wearing  an  extra  smile  these  days  His 
wife  presented  him  with  a  baby  boy,  and  Frank 
will  now  have  another  subject  to  pose  for  his  Kodak 
pictures,  for  which  he  is  justly  famous. 


John  Lowater.  that  popular  figure  of  the  Tool 
Room,  is  by  test  a  first  class  tool  maker,  but  he 
evidently  is  not  as  good  a  celery  grower.  Jolin — 
so  the  story  goes — planted  .seeds  in  July,  and  ex- 
pected to  eat  celery  in  September  John  should 
consult  the  Secretary  of  the  Gardening  Association, 
or  else  install  electric  current  in  his  yard  to  hurry 
things  along. 


OBSERVATIONS 
By  "Z" 

The   other   night 

As  I  was  at  the  Movies, 

I  saw  a  picture 

Of    a    walking 

Race. 

You  know 

It  has  to  be  heel 

And  toe,  and  not  running. 

It  struck  me  that  it 

Was  a  pretty 

Fast  way 

Of 

Locomotion 

At    that,   and   at 

The  same  time  I 

Thought    of    the 

Folks  who 

Come 

Pell-mell  down 

The  hall  at  noon. 

I  don't  doubt  that  we 

Have  in  our  midst. 

Especially    the 

Crowd 

Referred   to. 

Any  number  of  heel 

And  toe  speed-artists  who 

Could  give  the  men 

I  saw  in  the 

Picture 

A  durn  good 

"Run"  for  their  money  at  it. 

There  is  no  doubt 

That  there  are 

Some 

Who  don't  touch 

Both  heel  and  toe  and 

Therefore  would  not  qualify. 

The  guy  that 

Runs  to 

Beat 

The  conscientious 

Heel  and  toe  man,  who 

Is  in  a  hurry  also,  is 

Cheating  and  like 

All  who  don't 

Play  fair. 

Some 

Darn  thing 

Or  other  happens 

To  him  in 

The  end. 

Such 

As  Ijumping 

Into  .someone  el.se 

And  cracking  his   "koko" 

'N  everything. 

Adios. 


Thirty-five  girls  from  the  office  gave  a  farewell 
party  to  Florence  Zimmerman,  of  the  Inventory 
Department,  who  is  leaving  to  l>e  married.  The 
girls  congregated  at  Kane's  Hotel,  where  a  chicken 
dinner  was  served.  Florence  was  presented  with  a 
lieautiful  table  lamp  as  a  token  of  good  wishes 
from  her  manv  friends.

ANNUAL  PICNIC 

On  Saturday,  August  28,  1920,  the  employees  of 
the  Folmer-Century  Works  held  their  annual  picnic 
at  Sea  Breeze. 

Joseph  J.  Dreschler,  Jr.,  chairman  of  the  picnic 
committee,  worked  very  hard  to  make  this  picnic 
the  best  ever,  and  he  surely  succeeded. 

The  committee  on  sports  and  entertainment 
consisted  of  Albert  Doering,  Frank  O.  Perrin, 
Edw.  McCormack  and  George  J.  Jost,  who  arranged 
a  very  attractive  list  of  games  and  sports. 

The  committee  on  food  and  transportation 
consisted  of  Lester  Silliman,  A.  W.  Crittenden, 
Ambrose  Smith,  Frank  Mathis,  Edw.  Langham 
and  John  Walz. 

The  illustration  below  shows  the  following  com- 
mittee members:  Standing, left  to  right,  L.  Silliman.

Christian  Fleischer,  of  the  Metal  Department, 
returned  to  work  August  9,  1920,  after  a  long  illness. 
We  are  very  glad  to  have  him  with  us  again. 


We  recently  heard  from  Charles  Akey,  of  the 
Metal  Department,  who  has  been  laid  up  with  a 
serious  illness.  Mr.  Akey  is  recovering  very 
rapidly  and  we  hope  to  have  him  with  us  in  the  near 
future. 


We  express  our  sympathy  to  Henry  Kunkel, 
of  the  Assembly  Department,  whose  sister  died 
August    12,    1920. 


Richard  Krieke,  of  the  Assembly  Department,

NEW  FOREMAN  OF

Louis  Deihl,  who  has  recently  been  promoted 
to  foreman  of  the  Lacquering  Department,  began 
employment  with  the  Folmer-Century  Works 
September  7,  1909,  in  the  capacity  of  an  assembler, 
and  through  diligence  in  his  work  he  advanced 
himself  to  his  present  position.  Mr.  Deihl  is  well 
6tted  for  this  work  and  we  wish  him  much  success 
in  his  new  undertaking.

ELEVEN  YEARS  ON  THE  JOB 

Richard  Hoare,  familiarly  known  as  "Chief" 
at  the  Folmer-Century  Works,  began  employment 
with  the  Company  May  1,  1909.  During  the  past 
eleven  years  Dick  has  been  at  his  work  every  day.

Careless  handling  of  materials  produces  perhaps 
more  accidents  than  any  other  single  cause.  The 
right  way  is  just  as  easy  as  the  wrong  way,  and 
takes  no  more  time.  Remember  this  when  you 
are  moving  or  handling  materials. 


HARRY  W.  DAWE 

Harry  W.  Dawe.  one  of  the  most  popular  em- 
ployees of  the  Folmer-Century  Works,  left  the 
employ  of  the  Company  August  !21st,  1920,  on 
account  of  ill  health.  This  was  an  occasion  of  mutual 
regret,  as  Mr.  Dawe  was  held  in  high  esteem  by  his 
fellow  employees,  and  nothing  but  ill  health  would 
take  him  from  those  with  whom  he  has  served  so 
many  years,  and  whose  best  wishes  go  with  him. 
Mr.  Dawe  leaves  immediately  for  San  Diego,  Cal. 


Charles  Arthman,  of  the  Case  Department,  and 
Helen  Burpee  were  united  in  matrimony  Aug.  11, 
1920.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Arthman  left  for  a  Western 
trip,  after  which  they  will  reside  at  No.  3  Henion 
Street . 


Don't  be  one  of  the  smart  guys  who  say:  "Noth- 
ing ever  happened  to  me  and  I've  been  on  this  job 
for  ten  years,"  and  he  expects  you  to  believe  that 
no  accident  can  befall  liim.  It  only  takes  one 
accident,  if  it  is  serious,  to  make  a  cripple  of  any 
perfect  man.  An  accident  is  like  lightning — - 
it  may  strike  anywhere.  But  you  can  always  be 
safe  from  accidents  if  you  are  careful  and  see  to  it 
that  others  are  careful  too.

THE  GIRLS'  TEAM 


If,  in  our  enthusiasm  over  the  work  of  the  Hawk- 
Eye  team  in  the  Eastman  Kodak  Baseball  League, 
we  have  forgotten  to  say  enough  about  our  girls, 
it  is  not  because  they  are  not  playing  winning  ball. 
To  date  the  Main  Office  has  been  twice  defeated 
and  Bastian  Brothers  lady  tossers  have  been  ibeaten 
three  times.  Two  defeats  have  been  suffered, 
one  at  the  hands  of  the  WoUensak  Optical  Com- 
pany, and  the  other  from  Kodak  Park. 

Captain  Lois  Kurtz  is  not  only  playing  big  league 
ball  herself,  but  is  handling  the  team  capably  on 
the  field.  Captain  Kurtz  and  Magdalen  Hettel 
are  our  first  string  pitchers  and  are  both  dependable 
moimd  artists. 

Jane  (Babe  Ruth)  DeGraff,  Queen  of  Swat- 
smithesses,  is  perhaps  the  find  of  the  season.  The 
two  three-baggers  and  a  home  run  that  Jane  poled 
out  in  the  Main  Office  game,  are  samples  of  what  she 
does  with  regularity. 


Elizabeth  Meerdink,  who  works  behind  the  bat, 
handles  herself  like  a  veteran  and  is  as  steady  as  a 
rock  in  a  pinch. 

Alice  Gears  works  like  a  Trojan  wherever  she  is 
placed,  and  is  especially  valuable  because  she  seems 
to  be  capable  in  any  position. 

Then  there  is  Grace  Wiemer,  who  fields  her 
position  like  a  star,  and  Ruth  Kurtz,  Ethel  Rein- 
hardt,  Pauline  Krzywick,  Marion  DeBurgomaster, 
Elsie  Albers,  Freda  Topel  and  Caroline  Cooligan, 
a  galaxy  of  the  baseball  talent  of  ^\■hich  Hawk-Eye 
may  well  be  proud. 

William  Schlegel.  alias  Bill,  who  is  he.*  We 
couldn't  very  well  talk  girls'  baseball  and  leave  him 
out.  He  is  the  mentor,  so  to  speak,  the  spiritual 
adviser  and  coach  extraordinary.  Bill  has  brought 
the  team  from  a  crowd  of  green  aspirants  up  to  one 
of  the  smoothest  working  girls'  teams  in  the  city  and 
deserves  all  the  credit  that  Hawk-Eve  can  bestow.

THE  TRACK  TEAM 

Hawk-Eye's  all  star  track  team  showed  its  worth 
Wednesday.  August  11th,  by  winning  the  All- 
Scholastics  open  meet  on  the  I'niversity  track  by 
40  points  over  the  nearest  competitor.  Clayton 
Schnarr,  of  the  Lens  Department,  and  Sam  Marzulo, 
of  the  Mounting  Department,  walked  off  with  14 
and  10  points  respectively.  It  was  a  great  evening 
for  Hawk-Eye  with  seven  men  counting  in  the 
scoring.  Captain  Vass  ran  a  pretty  race  in  the 
half-mile  event,  but  was  nosed  out  at  the  finish  by 
Kellogg  of  the  All-Scholastics.  Alfred  Lovesky, 
of  the  Mounting  Department,  counted  for  5  points. 
Johnny  Authaler,  of  the  Centering  Department, 
added  8  more  with  a  first  place  in  the  220  and  second 
in  the  100-yard  dash.  The  one-mile  relay  race  was

HAWK-EYE'S  SECOND  ANNUAL  PICN 


F.  L.  HIGGINS,  J.  T.  O'NEILL,  H.  D.  HAIGHT, 
JOHN  DINEEN 


THE  PICNIC 

The  Second  Annual  Picnic  of  the  Hawk-Eye 
Athletic  Association,  which  startled  Manitou 
Beach  on  Saturday,  August  7th,  was  all  that  had 
been  promised,  from  the  first  gurgle  of  the  band 
outside  the  factory  in  the  morning,  to  that  "tired 
but  happy"  feeling  which  every  one  is  supposed  to 
pack  home  from  any  regular  outing.  It  was  an 
affair  ground  so  that  all  hands  were  in  focus. 
Hawk-Eytes,  Hawk-Eyettes  and  Hawk-Eyelets 
were  there  in  force,  and  each  found  a  share  in  the 
fun  and  goodies.  For  the  tiny  tots  in  rompers, 
for  those  who  could  remember  how  it  was  done 
twenty  years,  ago,  for  those  who  wandered  off  in 
pairs,  for  those  who  danced,  or  ran,  or  played — 
it  was  a  memorable  day  in  Hawk-Eye  sport. 

Mr.  Weather  Man  must  have  felt  the  importance 
of  the  affair  from  the  way  he  handled  his  end  of  the 
arrangements.  Except  for  a  shower,  during  the 
year  and  a  half  the  punctured  grub  wagon  made  us 
wait,  the  day  was  made  to  order.  The  events 
ran  off  with  a  smoothness  that  was  a  tribute  to  the 
Committee. 

And  those  ball  games!  If  they  were  the  whole 
picnic  a  man-size  volume  wouldn't  cover  the 
subject.  Ask  a  fine-ground  and  wax-polished 
Hawk-Eyte  about  it  and  he  gets  'em  all  muddled 
up.  Can't  tell  whether  it  was  Benny  Levine  or 
Ruth  Kurtz  who  lined  that  one  out  in  left.  Was  it 
Elizabeth  Meerdink  or  Pete  who  caught  that  man 
off  second?  No,  you're  right;  it  couldn't  have 
been  Elizabeth.  In  the  meantime,  Bill  Schlegel 
and  George  Brennan  just  sat  there  and  grinned  and 
egged  'em  on.  Oh,  those  were  some  Hawk-Eye 
games  and  we  are  glad  the  Main  Office  was  there. 
We  must  give  them  credit  for  the  best  of 
sportsmanship. 

Hawk-Eye  has  made  a  reputation  for  itself  in 
the  picnic  line,  and  we  had  lots  of  visitors — some 
who  thought  it  couldn't  be  done  and  some  who 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE

i",  AL(,LST  7th    MANITOU  BEACH 


just  wanted  to  see  how  it  is  done.  Mr.  Robertson 
was  there  from  the  Camera  Works.  Mr.  Haight, 
Manager  of  Industrial  Relations;  ^Ir.  Hord.  Editor 
of  the  Kodak  Magazine,  and  Mr.  Thompson,  General 
Safety  Supervisor,  came  from  the  Main  Office. 
We  are  glad  to  have  had  them  with  us  because  we 
are  proud  of  our  achievements. 

Then  those  races  I  Did  you  see  that  pie  disappear 
when  Ezra  Myers  stuck  his  face  into  it?  And  that 
row  of  poplar  trees  looked  like  the  teeth  of  a  fine 
tooth  comb  to  Ruth  Kurtz  as  she  won  the  girls" 
championship.  And  Leo  Mason  wore  button 
shoes  in  the  shoe  race,  and  Loretta  Ereth  glided 
along  with  that  egg  in  the  spoon.  It  was  one 
grand  round  of  talent. 

The  feature  of  the  Hawk-Eye  picnic.^  The  Kid- 
dies— the  Hawk-Eyelets. 

What  would  a  picnic  be  without  them.^  It  was 
worth  twice  the  efl^ort  for  them  alone.  Pink  and 
white,  big  and  little,  tow-heads,  black-tops,  and 
red-thatched  roofs,  they  were  all  there,  glad  of  it 
and  ready  to  tell  you  so  in  a  four-county  voice. 
It  was  their  day  from  peanuts  to  lollipops,  with  a 
couple  of  brass  bands  and  lots  of  sport  thrown  in. 

So  we  leave  the  picnic  to  memory  for  another 
year,  but  it  is  a  memory  of  one  of  the  finest  exhilji- 
tions  of  Hawk-Eye  spirit,  or  any  other  spirit  for 
that  matter,  that  coukl  be  expected  this  side  of 
perfection.  To  Mr.  F.  H.  Von  Deben,  General 
Chairman;  to  his  Committees;  to  Mr.  F.  L.  Higgins. 
Plant  Manager;  and  to  the  officers  of  the  Athletic 
Association,  we  can  only  say  "thanks — we  had  the 
time  of  our  lives." 


The  Tool  Department  had  a  large  number  at  our 
picnic  at  Manitou,  and  everyone  reports  the  best 
kind  of  a  time. 

Karl  Manhold.  of  the  TooljDepartment,  has 
recently  bought  a  new  home  andyis  comfortably 
settled  in  it.

WILBUR  G.  WOOD  AM  S 

Xot  unlike  the  rest  of  us,  Wilbur  got  his  start 
when  he  was  very  young — going  to  school  and 
playing  around  as  is  the  custom.  From  the  gram- 
mar school  he  entered  West  High  School,  where, 
aside  from  his  studies,  he  gained  recognition  as  a 
basketball  player.  Graduating  in  1911,  he  entered 
the  coal  business  and  labored  earnestly  to  help 
"keep  the  home  fires  burning." 


WILBUR  G.  WOODA.MS 

A  high  school  education  and  the  coal  business 
did  not  appeal  to  young  Woodams  as  the  limit  of 
his  personal  fitness  to  go  on  in  the  struggle  of  life. 
His  ambition  was  to  have  a  college  education,  so 
with  this  in  mind  he  entered  the  University  of 
Rochester  in  the  fall  of  1913  for  a  four-year  course, 
graduating  as  of  the  class  of  1917. 

Mr.  Woodams  heard  the  call  of  his  country  in  the 
late  World  War  and  was  among  the  first  to  leave 
this  city.  He  enlisted  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  on  April 
11,  1917,  as  a  seaman  in  the  I'.  S.  Navy.  Thirty 
mouths  of  duty  is  the  period  of  his  enlistment,  and 
in  that  short  time  he  rose  to  the  grade  of  Lieutenant 
(Junior  Grade). 

As  a  returned  service  man  ^Ir.  Woodams  came 
to  us  to  take  charge  of  our  Department  of  Industrial 
Relations,  a  position  for  which  he  is  well  qualified. 
His  work  at  the  Hawk-Eye  Works  is  not  of  the 
"cut  and  dried"  variety,  for  he  must  be  ready  to 
meet  the  requirements  of  every  new  phase  of  work 
that  comes  within  the  scope  of  employment  and 
personnel  work.  As  Employment  Manager  he 
directs  the  hiring  of  new  employees,  the  transfer 
of  employees  from  one  department  to  another,  etc-.. 


and  as  Safety  Inspector  he  guards  the  safety  and 
well  being  of  all  our  employees.  As  editor  of  the 
Hawk-Eye  section  of  the  Kodak  Magazine  he  places 
before  its  readers  all  the  newsy  items  of  plant 
activities,  and  as  manager  of  the  Hawk-Eye  Athletic 
As.sociation  his  chief  duties  are  to  maintain  interest 
and  build  up  Hawk-Eye  spirit. 

Life  in  the  Navy  during  a  time  such  as  the  late 
war  gives  one  a  new  and  better  view  of  the  various 
types  of  men.  The  contact  with  these  men  as  an 
officer  gave  Mr.  Woodams  the  very  best  foundation 
possible,  and  coupled  with  his  college  training  he  is 
eminently  fitted  to  direct  our  employment  work. 
Editing  a  magazine  is  nothing  new  to  Wilbur,  as 
he  did  likewise  as  one  of  the  producers  of  the  U.  of 
R.  weekly,  "The  Campus."  Nor  is  athletic  manager 
out  of  "Woodie's"  line,  as  he  was  manager  of  the 
1910-11  West  High  basketball  team. 

Thus  do  we  find  our  Industrial  Relations  Depart- 
ment at  the  Hawk-Eye  Works  in  the  hands  of  a 
very  capable  director. 


THE  TEAM 

The  Hawk-Eye  team  is  going  at  a  championship 
gait  this  season  and  deserves  all  the  support  the 
employees  of  the  plant  can  give.  We  want  to  see 
every  loyal  baseball  fan  parked  up  in  the  grandstand 
at  each  of  the  remaining  games  with  a  chatter  of 
good  cheer  that  will  make  our  boys  play  like  Connie 
Mack's  1913  World  Champions. 

Seven  victories  and  two  defeats  give  us  a  .777 
percentage  and  the  lead  in  the  Eastman  Kodak 
League.  When  we  say  defeats  let  us  add  that  both 
were  by  a  one  run  margin,  a  fact  not  to  be 
overlooked. 

Much  of  our  success  can  be  credited  to  the  good 
pitching  served  up  by  Kozlowski,  Marcille  and 
Graham.  Kozlowski,  while  he  was  with  us,  won 
two  games  and  lost  one;  Graham  is  credited  with 
one  in  his  favor,  while  Marcille,  our  first  string 
pitcher,  has  a  present  record  of  three  victories  and 
one  defeat.  Marcille  pitches  fast  ball,  works  hard, 
fields  his  position  well,  and  is  dangerous  at  the  bat. 

Peterson  is  a  tower  of  strength  behind  the  bat. 
As  field  captain  he  directs  the  team  He  receives 
and  throws  well,  but  shines  as  a  swatter  of  the  first 
order.  His  famous  crouch  over  the  plate  gives 
the  opposing  hurler  something  to  worry  about. 
"Pete"  hits  the  ball  hard. 

Moore  at  first,  Felerski  at  second,  Ingleby  at 
short,  and  Prentice  at  third,  give  us  a  combination 
of  fast  fielders  and  good  stickers.  Moore's  past 
experience  in  fast  baseball  company  is  a  big  help 
to  the  younger  players  on  the  team.  Leo  Felerski's 
playing  at  second  and  third  is  all  that  could  be  asked 
for.  Ingleby  is  gaining  attention  ])oth  for  his  clever 
fielding  and  his  stick  work.  Prentice,  the  youngest 
member  in  our  infield,  improves  with  every  game 
played.  "Charlie"  Hoffmeier  is  our  utility  infielder, 
and  fits  in  well  with  the  Hawk-Eye  system  when 
needed. 

Hawk-Eye  lays  claim  to  the  fastest  fielding 
outfield  in  the  league.  Levnne,  Wiedeman,  Boehm 
and  Van  Lare  are  noted  for  their  speed  and  they 
perform  their  task  at  the  bat  in  true  hard-hitting 
Hawk-Eve  stvle.

KODAK  PARK  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION  PICNIC  A  SUCCESS 


Despite  the  fact  that  Ontario  Beach  was  visited 
by  quite  a  heavy  rain  storm  during  the  early  part 
of  the  afternoon,  the  picnic  of  the  Kodak  Park 
Athletic  Association,  held  Saturday,  August  14th, 
was  on  the  whole  considered  a  great  success.  Over 
five  thousand  persons  were  in  attendance  and 
enjoyed  every  minute  from  the  time  they  arrived 
until  the  orchestra  put  away  their  instruments 
and  called  off  the  dancing  for  the  evening.  The 
day  was  warm  and  ideal  for  bathing,  many  of  the 
people  spending  the  entire  afternoon  in  the  water. 

A  most  unusual  program  of  sports  was  prepared 
by  the  Entertainment  Committee,  and  every 
number  was  greatly  enjoyed,  both  by  the  partici- 
pants and  the  spectators.  The  baseball  game 
between  the  "old-timers"  under  Jim  Ward,  and 
Harvey  Shannon's  "Colts,"  was  called  off  on 
account  of  the  rain.  The  first  real  attraction 
was  the  Obstacle  Race.  After  overcoming  numerous 
difficulties  distributed  along  the  course,  this  race 
was  won  by  Wm.  Amering,  of  the  Pipe  Shop,  with 
Charles  Ratzel,  also  of  the  Pipe  Shop,  second.  The 
Radish  race  for  the  girls  was  won  by  Catherine 
Skinner,  Film  Pack  Department,  and  Harriet 
Hyde  of  the  Film  Rewinding.  Much  amusement 
was  furnished  by  the  Blind  Hurdle  Race.  The 
contestants  were  shown  the  hurdles  they  were  to 
jump  and  then  blindfolded  after  being  assigned  a 
leader  whose  duty  it  was  to  tell  them  when  they 
reached  one  of  the  hurdles.  The  men  were  lined 
up  and  the  hurdles  removed,  after  which  the  word 
was  given  to  start.  Most  of  the  runners  did  not 
rely  on  the  advice  of  their  leaders  but  took  no 
chances,  making  each  step  a  jump,  with  the  result 
that  Wm.  Amering  and  Charles  Ratzel  were  again 
awarded  the  prizes  by  the  judges  as  the  result  of 
their  amusing  antics.  The  Shoe  Race  was  as  usual 
a  most  interesting  event,  it  being  won  by  Hazel 
Mader,  Black  Paper  Winding,  with  Anna  Med  urn, 
of  the  Film  Shipping,  second.  George  Tiffany, 
of  the  Box  Department,  set  the  pace  all  the  way 
in  the  Cracker  Race,  followed  closely  by  Ted  Mc- 
Crossen,  of  the  Main  Office.  AVhat  they  did  witli 
their  crackers  is  still  a  mystery  to  many,  as  the 
majority  of  the  contestants  were  still  on  their  second 
and  third  cracker  when  tiie  winners  finished  the 
latest  version  of  "Yankee  Doodle." 

Due  to  the  large  number  of  entries  it  was  neces- 
sary to  run  the  Nail-driving  contest  in  relays.  In 
the   finals   of   this   event    Edith   Lee,    Film   Pack, 


finished    first,    and   Bessie  Withers,  Cine    Packing 
Department,    second. 

Very  few  elopements  are  carried  through  without 
considerable  trouble.  This  precedent  applied  to 
the  Elopement  Race,  which,  after  the  first  attempt, 
had  to  be  run  over,  due  to  the  fact  that  there  was 
some  misunderstanding  relative  to  the  instructions, 
the  choice  of  men  by  some  of  the  girls,  or  some  other 
perfectly  good  reason.  However,  the  second 
attempt  was  successful,  and  Chas.  Ratzel,  of  the 
Pipe  Shop,  and  Bessie  Withers,  of  the  Cine  Packing, 
won  first  prize,  while  second  place  went  to  Robert 
Eastman,  Chemical  Plant,  and  Veronica  Culhans. 
Film  Spooling.  Walter  Grunst,  of  the  Roll  Coating 
Department,  won  first  prize  in  the  Water  Race  and 
H.  Hudson,  Research  Lab.,  .second. 

Due  to  the  late  start,  it  was  impossible  to  carry 
out  the  entire  program,  so  the  baseball  game 
between  the  Kodak  Park  girls  and  the  Alderman- 
Fairchild  team,  was  staged  at  this  time.  This 
proved  to  be  a  real  ball  game.  It  was  the  first 
real  test  our  girls  have  had  against  a  team  of 
experience,  and  during  the  early  part  of  the  game 
they  exhibited  a  touch  of  stage  fright,  the  large 
crowd  also  having  its  effect.  The  pitching  of 
the  opposing  twirler  was  excellent,  her  delivery 
and  speed  puzzling  the  girls  at  the  start.  In  the 
fifth  inning,  however,  their  old-time  confidence  in  a 
measure  returned,  resulting  in  several  hits,  although 
no  runs  were  secured  in  this  inning.  However, 
in  the  sixth  a  series  of  well-placed  hits  resulted  in 
two  runs  which,  although  not  enough  to  win, 
prevented  a  shut-out  and  the  game  ended  four 
and  two  for  the  visitors.  The  features  of  the 
game  were  the  strong,  steady  pitching  by  Laura 
Duby,  her  confidence  and  ability  in  the  pinches, 
and  the  excellent  fielding  game  played  by  Mabel 
Remillard  at  first,  although  it  is  hard  to  discriminate 
among  the  players,  as  everyone  did  her  best  and 
played  good  baseball  all  during  the  game. 

The  First  .\id  Hospital,  under  the  direction 
of  Dr.  W.  A.  Sawyer  and  Miss  M.  (iaylord,  proved 
to  be  a  preventive  rather  than  a  remedy,  as  very 
few  cases  were  treated,  none  of  which  were  serious. 
An  expression  of  apjpreciation  is  extended  to  B. 
William  Carlin  and  the  R.  J.  Strasenburgh  Com- 
pany for  the  use  of  the  hospital  equipment  on  this 
occasion. 

The  nuisic  furnished  by  R.  Ives  was  excellent 
and  proved  mighty  popular  during  the  entire  after- 
noon and  evening.

ASTRONOMY 

Due  to  the  fact  that  Mr.  Harriet,  who  has  been 
conducting  the  class  in  Astronomy,  is  leaving 
Kodak  Park,  the  instructions  for  the  present  must 
be  discontinued.  This  is  greatly  regretted  by  the 
members  of  the  class,  who  are  greatly  interested  in 
this  study.  The  class  presented  Mr.  Harriet  with 
a  thermos  bottle  and  case,  in  testimony  of  its  high 
regard. 


NOON  HOUR  CONCERTS  RESUMED 

After  several  weeks  of  conscientious  practice 
Kodak  Park  Band  has  resumed  the  noon  hour  con- 
certs on  the  front  lawn. 

A  very  decided  improvement  is  shown,  not  only 
in  the  class  of  music  being  played,  but  also  the  unity 
in  which  the  members  are  working. 

Much  credit  for  the  spirit  of  harmony  which 
exists  is  due  to  the  efforts  of  Manager  Dierdorf, 
whose  principal  aim  is  to  have  the  Kodak  Park  Band 
rank  among  the  best  in  the  city. 


A  farewell  party  for  Ann  and  Kathleen  Stelmack 
was  given  at  the  home  of  L.  Smart,  47  Keehl  Street, 
July  16th.  Ann  is  leaving  for  Niagara  Falls  and 
Kathleen    for    Pittsburgh. 


A  little  suffragette  arrived  at  the  home  of  Carl 
Motzer  of  the  P.  &  S.  Department.  Weighed  9 
pounds.  The  boys  and  girls  of  the  department 
enjoyed  the  cigars  and  chocolates.

THERESA  ZICK  WINNER  IN  GIRLS" 
TENNIS  TOURNAMENT 

First  honors  in  the  Girls'  Tennis  Tournament, 
recently  held  at  Kodak  Park,  were  won  by  Theresa 
Zick,  of  the  Payroll  Department,  who  defeated 
Ann  Dalzell,  of  Building  No.  35,  in  the  finals. 

Forty-three  girls  participated  in  the  Annual 
Tournament,  which  was  by  far  the  most  popular 
and  successful  ever  held. 

In  the  final  match  between  Miss  Zick  and  Miss 
Dalzell,  an  excellent  brand  of  tennis  was  displayed, 
the  score  being  O—t,  6^.  6-2.  Miss  Zick  won  in 
three  straight  sets,  although  each  game  went  to 
deuce  before  it  was  decided. 

The  efi'ort  on  the  part  of  the  management  of  the 
Association  to  stimulate  interest  among  the  girls, 
resulting  in  the  assigning  of  a  certain  portion  of  the 
athletic  field  and  tennis  courts  to  them,  is  evidently 
being  appreciated  from  the  interest  which  has  been 
displayed  so  far  this  season.  An  efi'ort  is  being 
made  to  arrange  matches  with  other  girls'  teams 
in  Rochester,  which  should  prove  very  interesting.

Violet  Taillie,  of  the  D.  O.  P.  Packing  Depart- 
ment, and  Elmer  Kirchgessner,  of  the  Drafting 
Department,  were  married  August  17th  by  Rev. 
Hermenter,  after  which  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Kirchgessner 
left  for  Detroit.  A  shower  was  given  on  Friday. 
July  30th.  by  Miss  Ellen  Greely  and  Miss  Leah 
Schultz,  about  35  being  present. 


GIRLS'  BASEBALL  TEAM  100% 

Early  in  April  the  Girls'  Baseball  Club  was 
organized  at  Kodak  Park,  under  the  direction  of 
the  K.  P.  A.  A.  After  several  weeks'  practice, 
during  which  numerous  games  were  jjlayed  by 
teams  picked  from  among  the  girls  who  were 
interested  in  this  activity,  a  representative  team 
was  picked  with  the  view  of  meeting  other  girls' 
teams  from  the  difi^erent  firms  in  this  vicinity. 

Up  to  the  present  time  they  have  not  lost  a  game, 
having  defeated  the  teams  of  the  other  Eastman 
plants  as  well  as  several  of  those  affiliating  with  the 
I.  A.  R.  A. 

A  contest  has  been  arranged  with  the  North  East 
Electric  team,  champions  of  the  I.  A.  R.  A.  League, 
and  it  is  expected  that  Kodak  Park  will  also  compete 
in  other  series  before  the  end  of  the  ba.seball  season. 

Much  of  the  team's  success  is  due  to  the  sterling 
pitching  of  Captain  Laura  Duby. 

Results  of  the  games  played  to  date  are  as  follows : 
Kodak  Park  ....  33  Hawk-Eye  ....  7 

Kodak  Park  ....  19  Bastians 3

EMULSION  COATING  DEPARTMENT 
PICNIC 

About  80  members  of  Trick  I,  Emulsion  Coating 
Department,  Building  No.  29,  journeyed  down  to 
Point  Pleasant  on  Monday,  August  9.  The  trip 
was  made  by  automobiles. 

L  pon  arrival  the  feature  event  of  the  day  was  set. 
This  was  an  indoor  baseball  game  between  Trick  I 
and  the  visiting  team.  Trick  III.  C.  Eysaman 
captained  Trick  I  and  T.  Schubmehl  Trick  III. 
From  the  start  Trick  III  gained  a  decided  lead 
and  continued  to  maintain  it  throughout  the  whole 
game  despite  the  great  effort  made  by  Clint's  men. 
The    result    was : 

Trick  III— 15.     Pitcher,  Eckerson 
Trick  I    —  9.     Pitcher,  Eysaman 

J.  Young  officiated  as  umpire  and  he  did  it  with 
grace  and  rare  judgment,  while  "Doc"  Yates 
capably  assisted  him  at  the  bases. 

Next  an  excellent  chicken  and  fish  dinner  was 
served  at  the  hotel  and  was  thoroughly  enjoyed  by 
all.  Mr.  Blackwood  gave  the  toast  to  the  visitors. 
J.  Lee,  in  reply,  thanked  the  members  for  their 
cordiality  and  appreciated  the  fine  sportsmanship 
evidenced,  and  expressed  a  wish  that  the  same  spirit 
would  always  continue.  J.  Y'oung  said  he  would 
vouch  for  its  continuance,  and  tactfully  assured 
them  that  after  a  few  more  work  outs  Trick  I  would 
more  than  win  back  their  lost  laurels. 

The  Olympiad  then  followed: 

Fat  Man's  Race — J.  Humphries. 

100-yard  Dash — C.  Eysaman,  1st;  E.  Blinco, 
2nd. 

Ball  Throwing— C.  Wadt. 

Quoits — E.  Hawkens,  W.  Lambert. 

Broad  Jump — C.   Eysaman. 

Most  Popular  Man — J.  Y'oung. 

Messrs.  Blackwood,  Miller  and  Yeoman  were 
the  committee  in  charge.

Bl  ILDIXG  NO.  33  PICNIC 

On  Saturday,  July  31st.  the  employees  of  the 
F.  F.  S.  Department  journeyed  to  Point  Pleasant 
via  automobiles  for  a  picnic.  "Bill"  Eddon  took 
his  Ford,  and  Harry  Mostyn  is  still  pale  from  riding 
with  him. 

At  1:15  the  sports  began.  The  first  number 
on  the  program  was  an  excellent  chicken  and  fish 
dinner.  Taber  wanted  to  know  what  kind  of  fish 
it  was  without  any  bones  (he  had  the  tail).  "Bill" 
Fauth  spoke  nary  a  word  while  dinner  was  served, 
and  Fred  Dorschell  sure  docs  care  for  rye  bread. 
While  waiting  for  Porey  to  finish  his  dinner,  the 
toastmaster,  Mr.  Eddon,  had  everyone  give  a 
toast.  Mr.  Martin  told  several  stories  and  recited 
a  poem.  Some  of  the  fellows  got  nervous  watching 
Brownie  eat  so  we  all  went  outside  and  let  him 
finish,  and  on  the  way  out  Bullen  tried  to  cop  the 
cigars  which  were  left.  Everyone  then  went  over 
to  the  ball  game,  except  Percy  Considine.  He  had 
his  own  sport  putting  on  a  tire  from  2:30  to  5:00. 

Forstbauer  and  Smith  picked  out  teams  to  play 
Indoor  Ball.  Mr.  Robinson  umpired  (.^)  (for 
"Chuck's"  team).  Swanson  played  first  on 
"Chuck's"  team,  and  with  his  long  arms  nothing 
got  by  unless  it  went  between  his  legs.  Baehr, 
on  Smith's  team,  made  a  run  home  as  the  result  of 
the  catcher  dropping  the  ball.  Some  reasons  why 
Smith's  team  lost  the  game  were  that  "Joe"  Werner 
hollered  too  much  and  "Chuck"  played  between 
pitcher  and  catcher  at  short . 

After  the  game  we  had  a  100-yd.  dash;  some  of 
the  boys  didn't  like  the  start  so  they  were  left 
behind.  Sherman  was  first  and  Swanson  second. 
"Vic"  would  have  been  first,  but  he  couldn't  make 
his  feet  behave.  In  the  Sack  race  Henderson  and 
Baehr  won.  They  are  some  hoppers.  Mostyn 
was  in  this  race,  too.  In  the  Three-legged  race 
"Chuck"  carried  Green  into  first  place  and  Bright- 
man  and  Hetzler  were  second.  The  Cracker 
Eating  contest  was  won  by  Kuhn.  In  the  Wheel- 
barrow race,   Kuhn  and   Bullen   won  by  wiggling 


home.  The  Time  race  was  won  by  Helgler  and 
Eddon.  l?rown  and  Brightinan  won  the  Potato 
race  anrl  in  the  Tug-of-War  Smith's  team  pulled 
"Chuck's"  team  off  their  feet  two  out  of  three  times. 
About  this  time  Dorschell,  who,  as  the  result  of 
an  accident,  could  only  see  out  of  one  eye,  thought 
it  was  getting  dark,  so  he  started  the  homeward 
glide,  but  Mostyn  didn't  ride  with  Eddon. 


SOCCER  TEAMS  HOLD  OUTING 

The  Kodak  Park  and  Camera  Works  Soccer 
Teams  held  a  joint  picnic  at  East  Maplewood  on 
Sunday,  August  8th.  About  00  persons,  including 
members  of  the  two  organizations  with  families 
and  friends,  together  with  numerous  well-filled 
lunch  baskets  were  transported  to  the  picnic  grounds 
in  automobiles.  A  long  list  of  sports  was  run  off, 
the  following  persons  winning  prizes  in  the  different 
events: 

Relay  Race — Won  by  Kodak  Park  Team  com- 
posed of  C.  Kelly,  R.  Kelly,  R.  Rife  and  E.  Allardice. 

Wheelbarrow  Race — Won  by  F.  Gallagher  of 
Kodak  Park  and  A.  Ackeroyd  of  State  Street.

Three-legged  Race — J.  Connelly  and  N.  O'Con- 
nor,   Kodak    Park.

Children's  Race  for  Girls  under  6 — Nancy  Rife 
and  Francis  Connelly. 

Boys'  Race— C.  Farrell  and  B.  Rife. 

Excellent  prizes  were  given  for  each  of  the  above 
events,  and  at  the  end  of  the  day  everyone  voted 
the  outing  a  complete  success. 

A  vote  of  thanks  is  extended  to  Leigh  Rife  and 
Frank  (iordon,  who  were  in  charge  of  arrangements

CLASSIFICATION 

All  prints  or  enlargements  entered  in  the  contest, 
except  those  as  stated  below,  will  be  grouped  under 
five  classes,  as  follows: 

1.  Portraiture. 

The  picture  may  be  taken  outdoors  or  inside, 
but  is  considered  as  a  portrait  only  when  the 
person  or  group  of  persons  is  the  subject  of 
interest,  the  background  and  surroundings 
being  entirely  subordinate. 

2.  Landscape. 

This  class  includes  out-of-door  pictures  taken 

in  the  Spring,  Summer,  Fall  or  Winter,  which 

represent  land  scenery  as  the  principal  subject. 

They  may  include,  however,  people  or  animals, 

or  small  bodies  of  water  when  these  are  purely 

subordinate. 

Sunsets  over  the  land  are  classed  as  landscapes. 

3.  Marine. 

Any  water  picture  where  the  interest  is  not 
centered  in  some  important  persons  or  objects 
in  the  foregroimd  which  claim  the  greater 
portion  of  the  attention  are  considered  marines. 
Sunsets  over  the  water  are  classed  as  marines. 

4.  Architectural  and  Interiors. 

This  class  includes  pictures  where  buildings  or 
their  interiors  claim  the  most  of  the  attention. 
People,  if  present,  must  be  entirely  subortlinate. 
Doorways  and  porticos  are  included. 
If  there  are  no  pictures  entered  in  this  class 
and  there  are  some  which  cannot  well  be  classi- 
fied under  the  other  four  classes,  this  will  be 
called  the  "Miscellaneous  Class." 

5.  Genre. 

Here  will  be  classed  all  pictures  of  street  or 

country  life,  or  pictures  in  which  figures  are 

associated    with    surroundings    or   express    an 

idea  or  thing. 

In  addition  to  the  above  five  classes  in  which 

prizes  are  offered,  there  will  also  be  a  class  to  include 

freak  photographs,  photographs  of  athletic  events, 

and  other  photographs  which  as  such  may  be  very 

good  photographs,  but  could  not  be  judged  on  the 

basis  of  artistic  merit.     Six  Honorable  Mentions 

will  be  awarded  in  this  class,  but  no  cash  prizes. 

RULES   AND   REGUL.\TIOXS 

1.  All  members  of  the  Kodak  Park  Camera  Club, 
except  the  strictly  professional  photographers,  may 
enter  the  contest  for  prizes.  The  latter  are  request- 
ed to  help  the  Exhibition  by  entering  pictures  in  it. 

A  professional  is  defined  for  this  contest  as  anyone 
who  has  made  photographic  prints  or  enlargements 
of  an  artistic  nature  for  money,  or  for  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company  or  other  photographic  concerns. 
Because,  for  instance,  a  person  has  run  tests  on 
developers  or  some  such  work,  it  does  not  bar  him 
rom  the  contest,  since  such  work  does  not  imply 


that  he  can   make  prints  or  enlargements  better 
than  someone  else. 

2.  Both  contact  prints  and  enlargements  may 
be  entered,  and  all  prints  or  enlargements  must  be 
mounted  individually,  but  not  framed. 

3.  Anything  in  size  up  to  8  x  10  will  be 
accepted. 

•4.  Any  number  of  prints  may  be  entered  in  any 
class  (or  all  classes),  but  not  more  than  one  prize 
can  be  won  by  a  competitor  in  any  one  class.  He 
(or  she)  is  not  barred  from  additional  prizes  in 
other  classes.  Not  more  than  three  prizes  in  all  can 
be  won  by  one  competitor. 

5.  On  the  back  of  each  entry  must  appear  the 
following: 

The  title  of  the  picture. 
The  competitor's  name. 
The  Kodak  or  Camera  used. 
The  lens  used. 
Stop  and  time  of  exposure. 
Place  where  picture  was  taken. 

6.  The  picture  must  have  been  taken  by  the 
competitor,  but  the  print  or  enlargement  may  have 
been  made  by  someone  else. 

7.  The  pictures  will  be  judged  on  the  basis  of 

(a)  Artistic  merit  of  the  picture  itself. 

(b)  Photographic  technique. 

(c)  Mounting  and  general  appearance. 

8.  All  pictures  winning  prizes  and  Honorable 
Mentions  will  be  considered  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Camera  Club.  If  published  by  a  magazine  other 
than  Kodak  Magazine,  money  received  in  payment 
of  them  will  be  turned  over  to  the  winners.  Such 
money  received  by  the  winners  will  not  cause  them 
to  be  classed  in  future  competitions  as  professionals. 

OBJECT   AND    VALUE   OF   THE    CONTEST 

The  object  of  the  semi-annual  contest  is  to  stim- 
ulate a  lively  interest  in  artistic  photography  and 
to  encourage  the  beginners  as  well  as  the  more 
experienced  photographers  to  do  better  work. 

The  beginners  should  take  a  special  interest  in 
submitting  prints,  since  in  later  contests  prizes  will 
probably  be  offered  for  improvement  in  work. 
Save  the  prints  which  are  returned  to  you  after  the 
contest  for  this  purpose.  The  data  on  the  back  will 
be  their  identification  in  the  future. 

Every  member  of  the  Camera  Club  should  do 
his  or  her  part  to  make  this,  the  first  contest,  a  real 
success.  By  so  doing  he  or  she  will  not  only  help 
himself  or  herself  photographically,  and  get  an 
immense  amount  of  pleasure  out  of  it,  but  will  also 
become  a  booster  for  the  Camera  Club. 

If  others  see  that  the  club  is  a  live  organization 
they  will  want  to  join  it,  too,  and  be  able  to  enjoy 
its  pri^•ileges.  Any  Kodak  Park  employee  may 
become  a  member  of  the  Kodak  Park  Camera  Club 
by  signing  application  for  membership  and  upon 
payment  of  8.50,  the  yearly  dues.  Applications 
mav  be  obtained  from  E.  Goodridge,  K.  P.  A.  A. 
Office,  Building  No.  28.

TENNIS  PLAYERS  ACTIVE 

Under  the  new  rating  system,  which  has  been 
adopted  this  year,  some  very  good  tennis  is  being 
played.  Only  thirty  names  are  placed  on  the  rating 
list,  which  constitutes  the  "Tennis  Honor  Roll." 
Any  player  whose  name  is  not  included  in  the  list 
is  entitled  to  challenge  any  of  the  last  five  players, 
and  if  he  is  successful  in  defeating  his  opponent, 
his  name  is  placed  before  the  defeated  player  and 
the  thirtieth  man  automatically  is  dropped  off. 

The  committee  in  charge  of  this  activity  realizes 
that  there  are  many  players  on  the  Park  concerning 
whom  sufficient  information  is  not  obtainable  for 
properly  rating  them.  Perhaps  some  of  these  are 
entitled  to  be  placed  on  this  list. 

If  your  name  does  not  appear  on  this  list,  and 
you  are  desirous  to  be  given  recognition,  the  above 
mentioned  means  afford  you  this  opportunity.

at  the  home  of  Irene  Taillie  l)y  Clara  Buckley  and 
Violet  Taillie,  over  forty  girls  being  present.  Need- 
less to  say  that  the  gifts  were  many  and  beautiful.

DINING  HALL  OITIXG 

The  first  annual  picnic  of  the  Dining  Hall  em- 
[)loyees  was  held  on  Sunday,  August  15th,  at 
"Coddington  cottage,"  at  Sea  Breeze.  The 
families  and  friends  of  the  employees  were  invited, 
making  a  most  congenial  gathering.  An  excellent 
dinner  was  served,  after  which  a  number  of  sport 
events,  under  the  direction  of  James  Ives  and  Ray 
Thorpe,  were  run  off.  Prizes  were  awarded  the 
winners,  the  women  receiving  candy  and  the  men 
smokes.  A  baseball  game  was  played  between  the 
"Kitchen"  and  the  "Dining  Hall."  Due  to  the 
exceptionally  large  number  of  heavy  hitters  the 
game  was  called  in  the  fourth  inning  as  the  ball  was 
no  longer  fit  for  use.  After  the  game  came  the 
water  sports,  in  which  nearly  everyone  participated. 
The  most  interesting  event  was  the  water  race, 
which  was  won  by  none  other  than  our  famous 
chef  of  the  Dining  Hall,  Fred  G.  Packard.  Everyone 
was  now  ready  for  the  supper,  which,  thanks  to 
Ed  ,  was  some  meal.  Music,  songs  and  dancing 
occupied  the  early  evening,  after  which  we  cranked 
up  "Henry,"  loaded  in  the  family  and  proceeded 
homeward  with  that  feeling  of  satisfaction  which  is 
brought  about  only  by  good  fellowship,  good  eats 
and  good  smokes.  A  year  will  be  a  long  time  to 
wait  for  the  second  annual,  but  it  is  worth  it. 


Kate  Douglass,  of  the  Velox  Department,  and 
Albert  Brighton  were  married  August  4th  by  Rev. 
George  Burns,  Rector  of  Sacred  Heart  Church. 
On  July  9th  a  shower  was  given  at  the  home  of 
Ruth  and  Gladys  Meehan,  about  forty  girls  being 
present.  Many  beautiful  and  useful  gifts  were 
received. 


^  On  June  22nd  Mrs.  Cogger  presented  her  husband. 
Sidney  Cogger,  of  the  Cotton  Washing  Department, 
with  a  7-pound  baby  boy — name,  Sidney  Willard 


Hazel  Rolfe,  of  the  F.  P.  S.  Department,  left 
Saturday,  August  7th,  to  be  married.  She  will 
make  her  home  in  Chicago.  Hazel  will  l)e  greatly 
missed  by  her  friends  in  the  F.  P.  S.  Department.

PLANS  RELATIVE  TO  EVENING  SCHOOL 
CLASSES  FAST  MATITRIN(; 

The  details  for  the  Evening  School  Classes  to 
be  held  at  Kodak  Park  during  the  coming  fall  and 
winter  are  being  carefully  studied,  and  as  a  result 
the  difficulties  in  connection  with  the  planning 
are  daily  being  removed. 

It  seems  best  to  begin  the  active  class  work 
the  week  lieginning  Monday,  October  11th,  and 
conduct  classes  for  ten  weeks,  closing  Saturday, 
December  18th,  for  the  holiday  season;  reopen 
the  week  beginning  Monday,  January  2nd,  UHl, 
continue  for  fifteen  weeks,  closing  the  week  ending 
Saturday,  April  9th,  1921.  This  program  gives 
an  evening  school  year  of  twenty-five  weeks,  which, 
according  to  the  schedule  published  in  the  Kodak 
Magazine  of  August,  permits  of  twenty-five  lessons 
in  subjects  reporting  once  a  week,  and  fifty  lessons 
in  subjects  reporting  twice  a  week. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  those  planning  the  course 
of  study  to  so  divide  the  subjects  that  the  completing 
of  the  twenty-five  weeks'  evening  school  work  in  a 
subject  will  mean  the  completing  of  one  phase  of 
that  subject,  for  example — the  course  in  Blue  Print 
Reading  is  being  arranged  .so  that  it  will  enable  a 
student  to  become  familiar  with  the  principles 
underlying  all  drawings,  and  further  enable  him  to 
read  intelligently  the  drawings  which  apply  to  his 
particular  trade. 

In  such  courses  as  Chemistry,  Mechanical  Draw- 
ing, or  Physics,  which  require  years  to  master,  the 
student  when  registering  should  plan  to  continue 
his  study  over  a  period  of  evening  school  terms 
that  he  may  dig  deep  enough  into  the  subject  to 
realize  its  beauty  and  worth.  It  is  planned,  how- 
ever, that  the  completing  of  one  evening  school 
term's  work  in  either  of  the.se  subjects  will  result 
in  the  covering  of  a  definite  portion  of  the  subject. 
For  example,  it  would  be  necessary  to  divide  Physics 
into  Cour.se  I,  Mechanics;  Course  II,  Electricity; 
Course  III,  Light  and  Heat. 

Registration  for  classes  will  occur  the  latter  part 
of  September.  Bulletin  Board  Announcements 
will  keep  all  informed  as  to  definite  dates,  the  neces- 
sary blanks  to  fill,  and  such  other  facts  as  are  needed. 
Keep  the  subject  in  mind.  We  want  this  school 
to  give  you  just  the  help  in  your  work  that  you  feel 
vou  need. 


(t.  Fenton,  of  the  Industrial  Economy  Depart- 
ment, has  accepted  a  position  as  Planning  Expert 
with  the  American  Wringer  Company  of  Woon- 
socket,  Rhode  Island.  Ilis  many  friends  at  the 
Park  wish  him  great  success  in  his  new  position. 


Florence  Van  Hoesen  has  returned  to  her  work 
much  improved  after  her  long  illness.  Florence, 
we  are  glad  to  have  you  with  us  again. 


P.  H.  Case  has  reached  the  top  in  professional 
golf.  Other  golf  players  on  the  Park  will  do  well 
to  keep  shy  of  Percy. 


Gertrude  Cason,  of  the  Velox  Packing  and  Sealing 
Department,  and  Ernest  Wager  were  married 
July  31st  at  the  Holy  Cross  Rectory,  by  Rev. 
Father  McCabe.  A  shower  was  given  at  the  home 
of  Dorothv  Sheard  on  Mondav,  Julv  26th.  Good 
luck! 


The  Roll  Coating  Department  mourns  the  loss 
of  Frank  H.  Whitney,  whose  death  occurred  very 
suddenly  Sunday  morning,  July  19,  1920,  at  his 
home,  53  Miller  Street.  Mr.  Whitney  came  to  this 
Department,  May  28,  1913,  and  has  been  a  faithful 
and  efficient  worker,  also  a  "booster"  for  the  K.  P. 
A.  A.,  of  which  he  was  a  member.  We  extend  our 
sympathy  to  the  family  in  their  sad  bereavement. 


It's  true  it  costs  a  lot  more  to  live  these  days. 
It's  worth  more.  There  never  was  a  time  when  it 
was  possible  to  get  as  much  out  of  life  as  at  the  pres- 
ent time. 


An  epidemic  has  appeared  in  the  families  of 
.several  employees  of  the  Carbon  Paper  Department. 
It  first  showed  its  appearance  at  the  home  of  Mr. 
Charles  Carroll;  shortly  afterwards  it  appeared 
at  the  home  of  "Petey"  Richter,  and  shortly  after- 
wards "Jerry"  Moynihan's  home  was  visited. 

No,  dear  readers,  not  a  contagious  disease,  but 
larger  families.  Carroll  and  Richter  were  both 
i)lessed  with  girls  and  "Jerry"  with  a  fine  big 
Irishman.

A  fast  game  of  ball  was  played  July  23rd,  when 
"Yates'  "  bunch  of  sluggers  stacked  up  against 
"Smith's"  Colts.  Both  teams  were  composed  of 
employees  of  tiie  Roll  Coating  Department. 

The  real  outstanding  features  of  the  game  were: 
the  pitching  of  Alborn,  who  struck  out  8  men;  a 
throw  from  center  field  by  Nelson;  a  catch  by 
Reithel  of  Chamberlin's  foul;  a  slide  to  3rd  base 
llirough  the  mud,  after  failing  to  touch  2nd  and 
fielding  honors  for  Hedges,  McSweeney,  Van 
Valkcnl)urg,  Wake  and  Murphy. 

Batteries:  Wake  and  Swan,  Alborn  and  Reithel.

part  time  inside  and  part  time  outside,  just  what  I 
need  due  to  my  run  down  condition  from  a  recent 
operation,  but  I  must  say  that  the  Eastman  Kodak 
Company  has  always  used  me  white."  Elmer 
started  to  work  at  the  Premo  in  191.S  in  our  wood- 
working department,  and  later  was  transferred  to 
the  Production  Department.  We  wish  him  the

They  will  reside  at  506  South  Avenue.  Best  wishes 
from  us  all. 


The  employees  of  the  Premo  extend  to  Frank 
Sherman  and  family  their  sincere  sympathy  on  the 
death  of  his  father-in-law. 


We  extend  to  Robert  Wetzel,  of  the  View  Camera 
Department,  and  his  family,  our  sincere  sympathy 
on  the  death  of  his  beloved  mother. 


Get  the  safety  habit — give  safety  advice.  It 
is  better  to  lose  several  minutes  avoiding  accidents 
than  to  lose  several  weeks  from  an  injury.  If  you 
see  a  man  acting  carelessly  tell  him  about  it; 
don't  be  afraid  to  hurt  his  feelings.

ONE  WHO  BELIEVES  IN  THE  SAFETY 
OF  OTHERS  AS  WELL  AS  HIMSELF 

When  Frank  Sherman,  of  the  Experimental 
Department,  was  spending  a  day  in  the  country 
photographing,  he  saw  a  sign  which  read  "Picture 
Ahead.  Kodak  as  you  go."  Frank  pulled  up  by 
the  side  of  the  road  and  when  he  stepped  out  of  his 
car  he  thought  he  heard  one  of  his  children's  rattles 
drop,  but  on  closer  observation  soon  found  that  it 
was  a  rattler,  but  not  of  the  kind  the  chikli'en  play 
with.  Having  previously  taken  a  course  in  Safety 
First  through  the  Rochester  Safety  Council,  Frank 
knew  just  what  to  do.  He  seized  his  Premo 
Combination  Tripod  and  the  battle  was  on.  After 
killing  the  snake  he  brought  it  home  just  to  show 
us  that  this  was  a  real  snake.  It  measured  three 
feet  three  inches  in  length  and  had  nine  rattles, 
one  of  which  Frank  carries  for  a  pocket  piece. 
"Pete"  Gruber  tanned  the  skin,  out  of  which  Frank 
has  had  some  very  pretty  pocketbooks  made.

ASSISTANT  EDITOR'S  NOTES 

If  employees  of  the  Premo  think  we  can 
make  this  Department  interesting  for  all  of 
you  without  you  sending  in  the  happenings 
of  your  Departments  and  families,  you  are 
mistaken.  Why  not  .send  in  a  snap  shot  of 
the  big  fish  Vernie  Osborn  caught,  Charlie 
Young's  girl,  William  Young's  fine  bulldog 
or  a  view  of  the  only  Essex  car  'i  All  these 
make  interesting  stories;  bring  them  in,  any 
.snap  shots  that  you  have.  None  of  us  can 
write  so  well,  as  you  can  see  by  this,  but 
because  you  are  not  a  college  professor, 
should  not  keep  you  from  getting  out  a 
pencil  stub  and  jotting  down  a  few  notes. 
Send  them  in,  we  will  tell  you  if  they  arc 
accepted.     Let  us  try! 


Is  it  a  scarcity  of  pajjcr,  or  the  shortage 
of  pencils,  or  lack  of  enthusiasm,  or  are  you 
going  to  spring  a  surpri.se  on  us  'i  What  we 
want  is  more  news  from  the  fourth  and 
fifth  floors.

"Bobby"  Bond  has  made  a  great  start  toward 
becoming  a  successful  tool  maker  in  the  purchase  of 
a  tool  box,  very  generous  in  size  and  a  nice  bright 
color.  This  tool  box  would  be  the  pride  of  the  tool 
room  only  for  the  fact  that  some  of  the  tool  makers 
are  jealous  (their  tool  boxes  won't  hold  half  as  many 
tools  as  Bobby's  will).  Quite  recently  he  found  a 
large  size  spike  protruding  from  the  cover  of  his 
tool  box,  and  upon  trying  to  remove  same  with  a 
nail  puller,  found  the  spike  was  only  a  dummy 
fastened  on  with  wax.  "Bobby"  says  it  beats  all 
how  jealous  some  people  are. 

Mrs.  Richard  Grady,  of  the  Lacquer  Department, 
has  been  confined  to  her  home  on  account  of  sickness, 
but  is  reported  as  improving.  We  are  glad  to  hear 
this  and  hope  to  see  her  back  with  us  soon. 

When  Archie  Cox,  of  the  Press  Department,  saw 
the  errand  boy  come  in  driving  a  "Ford,"  he  said 
he  was  going  to  apply  for  a  transfer  and  become 
an  errand  bov. 


Have  you  seen  the  dandy  new  diamond  Esther 
Levy  of  the  Focusing  Department  is  wearing?  Tell 
us,  Esther,  is  it  really  and  truly .■* 


You  men  fishermen  can  all  take  off  your  hats  to 
Myrtle  Williams,  of  the  Bellows  Department. 
You  see.  Myrtle  spends  her  week  ends  at  Conesus 
Lake  and  if  the  basket  of  fish  we  saw  is  a  sample 
(she  says  they  were),  apparently  she  knows  what 
kind  of  bait  to  use. 


Do  you  wear  one  of  our  three-color  buttons, 
red,  white  and  royal  blue.'  It  is  the  official  recog- 
nition of  membership  in  the  Premo  Club.  You 
can  procure  yours  from  "Bert"  Wilcox  for  twenty- 
five  cents. 


Apparently  Hilda  Hinkson  and  Bertha  McDowell, 
of  the  Covering  Department^  have  no  fear  for 
vehicle  traffic  when  they  take  their  daily  short  cut 
across  South  Street.  Don't  let  us  see  you  again, 
girls,  reading  the  Kodak  Magazine  while  crossing 
this  way  or  we  will  give  you  a  write-vip. 


Walter  Martin,  of  the  Accessory  Department, 
who  left  us  September  !23,  1919,  to  ai-cept  another 
job,  is  back  with  us  again.  He  says  he  is  cured, 
as  he  finds  the  Premo  is  a  pretty  good  place  to 
work.     Welcome. 

Dear  Mr.  Wheeler: 

I  want  to  thank  the  Premo  Works  for  the  kind 
assistance  they  gave  me  in  the  time  of  my  trouble 
when  my  beloved  mother  passed  away.  Having 
no  relatives  and  being  alone,  I  do  not  know  what 
I  would  have  done  if  it  had  not  been  for  Dolly 
Cody,  the  Yisiting  Nurse.  Walter  Van  Sanford 
and  you.  It  certainly  is  the  most  wonderful 
Company  that  I  have  ever  heard  of,  and  even  in 
my  sad  state  of  mind  it  makes  me  feel  happy  to 
think  that  I  work  for  a  firm  like  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company. 

(Signed)    Theres.v  Schupp.

Over  four  hundred  members  attended  the  cruise 
of  the  K.  O.  R.  C.  As  the  first  big  event  in  the 
history  of  the  chil).  this  outing  was  a  success  far 
beyond  expectation. 

The  picnickers  were  carried  by  train  from  the 
B.  R.  &  P.  station  to  the  Genesee  dock,  where  the 
Ontario  No.  i  was  waiting  to  carry  them  to  Cobourg. 
Harry  Seaman  and  his  committee  were  already 
on  the  job  when  the  picnickers  reached  the  boat, 
and  had  enougli  food  prepared  for  an  army.  "Hots," 
sandwiches,  pop,  peanuts,  ice  cream  and  lollipops 
were  very  much  in  evidence. 

As  soon  as  Harry  had  the  crowd  filled  up.  Willard 
Hodg.son  had  charge,  and  started  the  ball  rolling 
with  the  afternoon's  entertainment. 

His  committee  consisted  of  tiie  following 
members :

It  was  not  long  after  the  athletics  were  over  before 
the  orchestra  jazzed  up  and  a  goodly  crowd  was 
tripping  the  light  fantastic  over  some  other  fellow's 
toes.  Some  one  hit  upon  the  bright  idea  of  dancing 
on  the  forward  deck  as  well,  for  it  would  have  taken 
more  than  windows  to  conceal  the  strains.  The 
jazz  kept  up  a  .steady  stream  until  the  boat  pulled 
inside  the  pier  at  Col)ourg,  where  the  orchestra 
went  ashore  with  numerous  others  to  get  refreshed. 
They  did,  and  the  music  was  even  better  coming 
home. 

Everyone  got  back  on  time,  which  was  remarkable 
in  that  so  large  a  company  went  to  inspect  a  wave 
liouse  over  on  a  neighboring  pier. 

Lunch  boxes  were  unwrapped  again  and  as  soon 
as  the  orchestra  untied  their  nose  bags  they  jazzed 
up  again. 

(yarl  and  Marie  Mattern  filled  in  the  musical 
program  with  several  ])leasing  songs.  Carl  also 
led  singing  en  masse  on  the  top  deck. 

We  did  get  home  a  wee  bit  late,  but  what's  a 
couple  of  hours  among  friends  ? 

We  will  all  be  able  to  live  the  picnic  over  again, 
for  Jimmie  Evanotf,  of  Kodak  Park,  was  on  the  job 
with  his  movie  camera  and  those  who  did  not  go 
can  perhaps  see  the  pictures  and  see  what  we  .saw.

The  Parcel  Post  Department  Party 

On  Friday  evening  of  July  31  eighteen  girls  in  the 
Parcel  Post  Department  gave  a  party  for  Ruth 
Campbell,  in  honor  of  her  birthday. 

Everybody  enjoyed  dancing,  as  well  as  other 
activities  of  the  evening. 

Piano  solos  were  given  by  Ruth  Kriner  and 
Florence  Homan,  and  a  violin  solo  by  Esther  Lusk. 

A  cpiartet  consisting  of  Florence  Homan,  Ger- 
aldine  Hall,  Ruth  Kriner  and  Kathryn  Gaylord 
sang  several  selections. 

Ruth  received  a  beautiful  gift  of  a  silk  mesh  bag 
from  the  guests.

BOOSTING  THE  BATTING  ANERAGE 

"Our  team?"  replied  the  middie  bloomer  girl 
to  the  reporter's  query.  "Oh,  they're  comin' 
fine!  Say — why  don't  you  come  around  to  the 
games  and  see  for  yourself? 

"Why,  we  haven't  been  going  very  long,  you 
know — but,  just  give  us  time.  That  was  a  great 
Moonlight  Dance  we  had — but,  you  were  there, 
weren't  you?  Surei  we  had  a  dance  together. 
Must  'a  been  about  three  hundred  Kodakers  on 
the  good  ship  'Glenn'  that  night,  I'd  say,  wouldn't 
you?  Well,  anyway,  we  got  enough  out  of  it  to 
get  our  uniforms.     And  had  a  good  time,  too. 

"Say,  you  don't  know  any  good  players  around 
the  building,  do  you?  Tell  'em  to  look  up  our 
manager,  Ruth  Gill,  in  the  Industrial  Relations 
Department.     We  need  'em. 

"What's  that?  Going  to  put  our  picture  in  the 
Magazine  this  month?  On  page  4.j?  We'll  be 
looking  for  it.     G'byel" 


HYPNOTISM  —  BESSIE  ? 

The  twelfth  floor  takes  a  lot  of  pride  in  its  rotund 
repre.sentative  on  the  Girls'  Baseball  team,  .\ccord- 
ing  to  the  "dope"  gathered  from  the  best  sport 
critics,  our  little  Bessie  Leonard  is  about  the  most 
efficient  shortstop  that  ever  wore  bloomers.  Of 
course,  girl-like,  she  has  her  share  of  the  little 
vanities.  Witness:  this  little  incident  which  oc- 
curred in  one  of  the  recent  practice  games. 

Bessie  was  holding  flown  her  position  and  absent- 
mindedly  powdering  her  no.se  during  a  lull  in  tlic 
iiostilities.  Suddenly  a  groimder  came  bounding 
over  into  her  territory.  This  she  jiromptly  stojjped 
by  sitting  down  on  it.  Regaining  her  feet  quickly, 
she  hurled  her  powder  puff  accurately  to  first  husv. 
at  the  same  time  slipping  the  ball  into  her  pocket. 
The  "Ump"  awarded  the  batter  a  home  run  on  the 
ground  that  the  ball  had  disappeared  from  sight 
and  Bessie  was  credited  with  an  assist.  Everybody 
happy?     Let's  go!

Two  others  of  our  number  have  had  sorrow  in 
their  homes  this  month.  Mrs.  Albrecht,  wife  of 
Otto  Albrecht,  affectionately  known  as  "Cap," 
died  July  31st,  after  a  long  illness;  and  Mrs.  Sullivan, 
mother  of  Gertrude  Sullivan,  our  Kodak  reporter, 
died  August  9th.  The  sympathy  of  all  is  with 
these  friends  in  their  sorrow. 

The  sympathy  of  the  Testing  and  Packing 
Department  is  extended  to  Helen  Boyle,  whose 
mother  passed  away  July  30th.  19'-20,  after  a  long 
illness.  Helen  is  at  home  ill  and  her  many  friends 
hope  for  lier  speedy  recovery. 


.\delaide  Meise  spent  her  vacation  at  Old  Forge, 
Xew  York,  and  wrote  of  the  beautiful  moon- 
light on  the  lakes.  Be  careful,  Adelaide!  We 
don't  want  to  lose  vou  yet. 


Mrs.  Maud  Scott,  of  the  Maintenance  Depart- 
ment, enjoyed  a  vacation  in  Canada.  We  warned 
her  against  "blowing  bubbles"  during  her  absence. 


Frank  Strowger  tells  us  that  while  at  Sodus  Bay 
on  a  vacation  he  landed  some  of  the  largest  black 
bass  ever  drawn  out  of  the  water  there.  Good  for 
you,  Frank.     Wonder  what  Quinlin  caught.^ 


Mary  Dissett  spent  a  week  at  Sodus.

SPECIAL  BILLING  DEPART:\rEXT  PICNIC 


T'other  night  the  members  of  the  Special  Billing 
Department  held  a  sausage  roast  on  the  sands  of 
Lake  Ontario,  which  caused  (juite  a  stir  in  the  lead- 
ing mosquito  circles.  In  the  event  that  you  were 
unfamiliar  with  the  fact  that  suc-h  a  department 
existed,  we'll  forgive  you,  for  we  are  very  young,  in 
that  we  didn't  see  the  light  of  day  as  a  depart ment 
until  a  very  few  months  previous  to  this  writing. 
To  return  to  the  sausage  roast:  wlien  it  was  known 
Ijy  the  mosquitoes  that  one  was  to  he  held,  a  meeting 
was  called  for  the  same  night  which  was  remarkable 
for  its  size  considering  the  short  notice.  However, 
they  were  out  in  full  force  to  greet  us  and  their 
welcome  was  not  lacking  in  warmth;  in  fact,  it 
seemed  as  if  Uad  and  Ma  Mosquito  and  innumerable 
youngsters  vied  with  each  otiier  in  their  attempts 
to   make   us  feel  perfectly   at    home.     AVc   all   can 


vouch  for  the  fact  that  they  fared  well  enough  to 
repay  them  for  their  efforts.  We  have  since  learned 
that  the  excitement  caused  in  the  insect  world  yvas 
the  main  topic  of  conversation  for  many  days  and 
as  for  "us  victims" — we  bore  the  marks  for  some 
time,  and  in  fact,  some  of  them  still  remain.  Our 
party  was  made  doubly  interesting  by  the  presence 
of  the  boss  and  his  wife,  who  added  greatly  to  the 
enjoyment  of  the  evening  by  the  singing  of  several 
duets  which  were  highly  appreciated.  As  they 
both  possess  unusually  fine  voices  and  are  in  great 
demand  in  local  musical  circles,  we  felt  very  for- 
tunate indeed  in  being  privileged  to  listen  to  them, 
if  but  for  a  very  few  minutes.  Taking  it  as  a 
whole,  the  roast  will  remain  in  our  memories  for 
many  a  weary  day  when  the  carkin'  cares  of  business 
would  otherwise  prove  too  great  a  strain. 


SPECI.XL  HILLIX(;  DEPARTMENT  OUTING 


Mr.  Potter,  of  the  Advertising  Department,  has 
returned  from  sick  leave,  looking  hale  and  hearty. 
He  went  418  miles  on  15  gallons  of  gasoline,  and 
was  arrested  only  once  for  speeding.'  (The  speed 
limit  in  that  town  was  3  miles  per  hour.) 


Gladys-  Welch,  who  graduated  in  June  from 
the  University  of  Rochester,  is  a  new  member  of

compressed  the  regular  four  years  college  course 
into  three  years  successfully,  she  may  l)e  viewed  in 
the  light  of  a  phenomenon — one  of  many  in  that 
department. 


SUCKERS — one  each — were  the  termination  of 
an  enjoyable  party  of  Sales  Department  girls  at 
the  home  of  Adelaide  Meise.  There  were  lots  of 
games,  music,  dancing  and  eats.  The  girls  had 
planned  a  l)cach-j)arty  but  it  rained,  of  course,  so 
everyone  found  "Ad"  a  very  hospital)le  hostess. 

W^  F.  Spurling  sailed  for  Japan  on  the  S.  S. 
"Empress  of  Asia"  from  N'ancouver,  .\ugust  '■ilUh,

with  Mr.  Small,  our  salesman  there  at  the  present

ALL-KODAKS  HIT  THEIR  STRIDE 

STARS  OF  KODAK  LEAGUE  BRING  HOME  BACON  IN  TWO  OF  THREE  BATTLES 


DURING  the  last  month  the  All- 
Kodaks,  bolstered  by  the  addition 
of  two  new  players,  and  showing  team 
work  of  the  first  order,  have  recorded 
two  wins  out  of  three  games.  During 
this  period  two  contests  have  gone  by 
the  board  on  account  of  rain  or  wet 
grounds.  On  July  18th,  the  Brown- 
Lipe-Chapin  Company,  Syracuse  indus- 
trial champions,  came  to  Rochester 
for  a  return  game  with  the  local  team, 
but  a  heavy  downpour  just  before  game 
time  made  the  Kodak  Park  field  unfit 
for  play. 

One  week  later  "Freddy"  Blum, 
peerless  matchmaker  and  power  behind 
the  throne  for  the  Knights  of  Columbus, 
reaped  a  huge  crop  of  joy  when  his  team 
pushed  over  a  7  to  2  tally  against  the 
All-Kodaks,  thus  avenging  the  opening 
day  score  between  these  two  teams. 
Loose  work  in  the  field  was  responsible 
for  the  defeat  of  our  team.  The  invading 
Knights  collected  only  six  hits  off  the 
local  pitching  staff,  but  four  of  these 
went  for  two  sacks.

Batteries:  For  K.  of  C,  Finnegan  and  Cuff. 

For  All-Kodaks,  Pressley  and  Irwin. 

On  August  1st  the  All-Kodaks  took 
their  turn  at  playing  the  role  of  avenging 
angel,  nosing  out  the  Norwich  Clothes 
on  the  Kodak  Park  field  by  a  6  to  5  score. 
Luk,  who  started  in  the  box  for  the 
clothing  makers,  played  the  part  of  Santa 
Claus.     Brodie  was  rushed  to  the  rescue, 


but  the  five-run  lead  snatched  by  the 
Kodak  team  in  the  first  tw^o  innings 
proved  just  enough  to  win.

August  8th  proved  another  disap- 
pointment to  Kodak  fans  when  the  almost 
habitual  Sunday  rain  storm  spiked  the 
scheduled  game  with  the  Big  Brothers. 

The  following  w^eek,  Sunday,  August 
15th,  Irwin's  boys  batted  out  another 
victory,  this  time  over  the  North  East 
Electrics.  Pressley  had  the  Electrics 
guessing,  while  McGrady's  timely  hitting 
pushed  over  the  necessary  tallies  for  the 
locals.

For  the  last  three  games  Harry 
("Dutch")  Irwin,  popular  catcher  of 
the  Main  Office  team,  has  been  managing 
the  field  work  of  the  All-Kodaks,  re- 
placing Harry  Murphy,  whose  resignation 
was  reluctantly  accepted  by  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  League.  "Joe"  Minella 
at  first  base  and  "Mac"  McGrady  at 
third  have  proved  valuable  in  bolstering 
the  All-Kodak  infield.  The  outfielders 
are  hitting  better  than  at  the  start 
of  the  season  and  Manager  Goodridge 
is  looking  for  great  work  from  his  boys 
the  rest  of  the  season.

THE    KODAK    IVIAGAZINE 


BITS  AND  HITS  OF  THE  ALL-KODAKS 

By  MANAGER  HARRY  S.  IRWIX 


Have  you  taken  a  slant  at  our  new 
third  baseman,  Earl  MacGrady?  "Mac" 
eats  'em  up  around  the  hot  corner.  At 
the  bat,  he's  the  original  clean-up  man. 
Just  put  three  men  on  the  sacks,  and 
watch  MacGrady  connect.  Usually  good 
for  two  or  three  sacks,  too! 

Kivell  is  covering  a  world  of  territory 
out  there  in  center.  "Charlie"  pulled 
down  a  hard  drive  in  the  Norwich  Clothes 
battle.  When  he  came  in  to  tlie  bench 
he  found  a  scout  Avaiting  who  tried  to 
sign  him  uj)  for  the  big  show. 

Joe  Minella  at  first  base  is  coming 
along  fast,  both  in  fielding  and  with  the 
big  stick. 

We're  glad  to  see  Lee  Schlicht  back 
from  his  two  weeks'  vacation  up  in  the 
mountains.  He  ought  to  be  good  for 
several  more  wallops  l^efore  the  season 
ends. 

"Bennie"  Levine  is  the  boy  who  delivers 
in  the  Comedy  League. 

Our  pitching  staff  is  living  uji  to  its 
"rep."  Forstbauer  achieved  his  desired 
revenge  against  the  clothing-makers, 
while  Pressley  held  the  team  from  the 
North  East  in  the  hollow  of  his  hand. 

Bircher  and  Ingleby  are  working 
together  in  fine  shape  around  short  and 
second.  Both  of  these  men  are  fast 
fielders,  and  it  takes  a  smart  clout  to 
get  through  the  center  of  the  infield. 

Lee  Yoder  has  been  coming  through 
in  the  pinches  with  his  trusty  old  Newark- 
made  willow,  and  also  pulling  down  the 
hard  drives  that  come  his  way.  Lee 
was  late  in  arriving  for  the  North  East 
game.  He  had  been  on  a  triji  to  Erie, 
Pa.,  to  take  in  the  Oriental  L  O.  O.  F. 
Convention.  The  story  he  tells  is  that 
he  went  to  sleep  on  the  train,  and  woke 
up  at  Syracuse.  How  does  it  listen, 
boys? 

Business  Manager  "Ed"  Goodridge 
is  looking  after  the  men  in  fine  shape. 
He   has   planned   an   attractive   trip   for 


Lal>or  Day.     A   more  popular  manager 
would  be  hard  to  find. 

"Hank"  Rohrer,  our  southpaw,  is 
going  to  enter  up  at  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania.  Good    luck,    "Hank"! 

Penn  is  fortunate  to  have  you  on  the  rolls. 

Rubber  games  with  the  Norwich 
Clothes  and  Knights  of  Columbus  are 
on  the  card  for  the  last  two  Sundays  in 
August.  The  September  schedule  will 
undoubtedly  include  a  Labor  Day  trip 
and  two  or  three  more  games  with  the 
best  of  the  local  semi-pros.  A  three- 
game  series  with  Bausch  &  Lomb  is  the 
most  attractive  proposition  wliich  has 
yet  appeared. 


THEY'RE  HITTIX'    EM  HIGHER  IX 

Who?  The  Kodak  Girls.  What?  The 
ball,    of   course. 

Have  you  seen  them?  Four  teams  of 
girls  playing  the  grand  old  national 
game,  right  here  in  Kodak-town,  too. 
Hawk-Eye  and  Kodak  Park  got  ofl^  first, 
but  the  Main  Office  and  Camera  Works 
lassies  are  coming  along. 

The  Kodak  Park  girls  have  run  up  a 
great  record,  winning  all  their  games 
except  one  to  date.  Hawk-Eye,  Bastian 
Brothers,  Camera  Works,  and  Art-in- 
Buttons  fell  before  their  prowess  until 
finally  the  Alderman-Fairchild  girls  came 
over  and  took  the  long  end  of  a  4  to  'i 
score. 

At  Hawk-Eye  the  girls  took  three 
games  from  Bastian  Brothers  and  two 
from  Main  Office,  losing  to  Wollensaks 
and  Kodak  Park. 

The  ]Main  Office  and  Camera  Works 
girls  are  still  not  far  from  the  practice- 
game  stage,  but  they  expect  to  teach  the 
big  fellows  a  thing  or  two  before  snow 
flies.  This  is  the  life — why  wait  for 
winter?  Just  take  a  slant  at  the  ^Slain 
Office  lassies  on  the  preceding  page.

HAWK  EYE  STILL  SETTING  PACE  IX  KODAK  LEAGUE 

(a:\iera  works  and  kodak  park  close  behind 


lUGUST  15.  ^Yith  the  season  better 
-TV  than  two-thirds  gone.  George  Bren- 
nan's  Hawk-Eye  team  is  still  setting  the 
j)ac'e  in  the  Kodak  League,  leading  the 
Camera  Works  outfit  by  three  games. 
Since  the  August  issue  of  The  Kodak 
Magazine  went  to  press,  the  St.  Paid 
Street  team  has  notched  four  victories 
and  lost  but  one  battle. 

Kodak  Park  and  Camera  Works  are 
staging  a  merry  fight  for  second  place, 
with  Camera  Works  slightly  ahead, 
l)ecause  of  the  fact  that  the  Parkers 
have  played  and  lost  one  more  game 
than  the  State  Street  team.  With  from 
four  to  seven  games  yet  to  play,  any  one 
of  these  three  teams  still  has  a  beautiful 
chance  to  nail  the  1920  pennant  to  the 
factory  flag  pole  some  tin^e  this  month. 
Down  below,  Premo  and  the  Main  Office 
are  having  a  great  scrap  to  determine 
the  occupancy  of  fourth  place.  Premo 
has  been  picking  up.  while  the  !Main 
Office  has  hit  a  slump  and  lost  three 
games. 

An  unfortunate  combination  of  luck 
and  erratic  playing  has  served  to  keep 
the  Graflex  team  still  in  the  "no  win" 
class.  Time  after  time  the  Folmer  boys 
have  been  nosed  out  by  a  single  run. 
McCormick  and  Fleming  have  shown 
some  very  good  pitching,  but  errors 
around  the  infield  have  lost  several 
games  which  should  have  been  chalked 
up  on  the  right  side  of  the  ledger. 

Unfavorable  weather  conditions  during 
the  past  month  have  compelled  the 
j:)ostponement  of  a  number  of  games, 
with  the  result  that  the  League  is  now 
six  games  behind  the  schedule.  The 
team  managers  are  making  every  effort 
to  work  off  these  postponed  games  at 
night  or  as  double  headers  so  tliat  the 
Kodak  League  cham])i()ns  will  be  all  set 
for  the  city  title  series  with  the  winners 
of  the  Industrial  League  crown.  This 
series  is  booked  for  the  latter  part  of 
September  and  will  j)r{)bably  be  a  three- 


game  aft'air.  Our  boys  are  out  to  avenge 
last  year's  beating  at  the  hands  of  the 
North  East  Electrics  and  it  is  a  pretty 
safe  bet  that  any  one  of  the  three  leading 
teams  of  the  Kodak  League  will  be  able 
to  give  the  Industrial  winners  a  tough 
time  of  it  in  the  series.

THE    KODAK    IVIAGAZINE 


THROUGH  THE  UMP'S  MASK 
By  "Mdrph" 
It  is  only  natural  that  fans  and  teams  alike 
should  like  to  see  the  leaders  trounced.  The  race 
in  the  Kodak  League  is  so  close,  with  Hawk-Eye 
leading  by  a  single  game,  and  Camera  Works  and 
Kodak  Park  following  right  behind,  that  no  doubt 
the  Kodak  fans  will  be  treated  to  some  bitter  and 
hard-fought  contests  before  the  end  of  the  season. 


Manager  Brennan,  of  Hawk-Eye,  has  selected 
one  of  the  best-balanced  teams  in  the  League. 
The  team  record  up  to  date  speaks  for  itself.  In 
Marcelle  and  Peterson  he  has  one  of  the  hardest 
working  and  most  reliable  batteries.  Harry  Moore 
at  first  base,  Felerski  at  second,  Ingleby  for  short, 
and  Fox  on  third  round  out  a  smooth-working 
infield.  All  these  boys  are  now  playing  a  hard, 
consistent  game.  In  the  outfield,  Hawk-Eye  has 
three  classy  performers  in  Wiedeman,  Boehm,  and 
Levine.  Wiedeman's  work,  especially,  has  been 
little  short  of  brilliant. 


Manager  Yoder,  of  the  Camera  Works,  claims 
that  the  team  that  wins  the  pennant  will  have 
to  beat  his  outfit.  We  agree  with  Yoder.  He 
has  a  large  number  of  players  of  more  than  average 
ability  from  which  to  make  his  selections,  and 
battery  material  of  the  highest  order.  With  Kline, 
Pressley,  Roller,  Kivell,  Miller,  and  Millspaugh, 
the  Camera  Works  team  is  certainly  well  fixed. 


Kodak  Park,  despite  a  couple  of  severe  set-backs, 
is  still  in  there  with  the  old  fight.  This  club  has 
made  the  most  remarkable  showing  of  the  season, 
considering  that  it  was  a  tail-ender  last  year. 
Manager  Bircher  has  worked  hard  in  building  up 
his  team.  Shepanski  as  catcher  and  Forstbauer, 
Gallagher,  and  Terhaar  as  pitchers  present  strong 
battery  material,  while  the  infield,  showing  Joe 
Minella,  "Red"  Hindt,  Keenan  and  Manager 
Bircher,  is  the  equal  of  any  in  the  League.  A  trio 
of  hard-hitting  outfielders  would  make  this  team 
just  about  invincible. 


Main  Office  and  Premo  are  having  an  interesting 
struggle  for  fourth  place,  with  the  odds  slightly 
in  favor  of  Seyfried's  crowd,  because  they  have 
a  larger  squad  of  players. 


Folmer-Century  has  yet  to  win  a  game,  but  from 
the  way  these  boys  have  been  crowding  the  leaders, 
they  ought  to  break  through  soon.  Against 
Hawk-Eye  on  August  1 1  the  Graflex  boys  got  away 
to  a  good  start,  scoring  in  the  first  inning.  McCor- 
mick,  as  pitcher,  has  everything  but  support. 
"Pat"  Petroske  slapped  one  all  the  way  to  the  bushes 
in  Eastman  Avenue  for  a  home  run  in  the  third 
inning.    Some  hit,  Pat!    Let's  hear  from  you  again. 

Harry  Moore  tossed  in  a  smart  play  in  this  game. 
Playing  a  deep  first  base,  he  snared  a  hard-hit 
groimd  ball  in  short  right,  and  threw  to  Felerski 
at  first  for  the  out.  This  is  a  play  that  is  seldom 
seen  even  in  the  big  leagues — a  second  baseman 
getting  credit  for  a  put-out  at  first,  and  the  first 
baseman  getting  an  assist  on  a  ground  ball. 


GOLF  TOURNAMENT  THIS  MONTH 

Delay  on  the  part  of  some  of  the 
entrants  in  sending  in  their  last  three 
scores  has  forced  the  postponement  of 
the  Kodak  golf  tournament  until  this 
month.  The  Committee  is  working  out 
handicaps  for  all  the  contestants,  based 
on  their  last  three  scores. 

An  entry  fee  of  $1.00  is  being  charged, 
which  will  be  used  to  provide  prizes  for 
the  entrants  turning  in  the  lowest  gross 
score  and  lowest  net  score,  as  well  as  for 
the  second  lowest  gross  and  second  lowest 
net. 

Since  the  last  issue  of  the  Magazine, 
a  whole  flock  of  would-be  title  holders 
have  rushed  to  the  entry-line,  and  it 
looks  now  as  though  quite  a  field  would 
be  in  the  running  when  the  whistle  blows. 


Well,  just  a  few  weeks  more  and  we'll 
be  hearing  the  well-known  shouts:  "All 
down!"  or  "Set  'em  up  in  the  other 
alley!"  The  old-timers  are  beginning 
to  think  longingly  about  dusting  off 
the  pins,  and  getting  that  old  "hook" 
working  again.  And,  the  "rookies"  will 
soon  learn  that  strikes  don't  grow  in  the 
sewer.  Pick  the  spares,  boys ;  they  boost 
the  little  ol'  total. 


Another  month  and  the  All-Kodaks 
will  have  hung  up  their  suits  and  gone 
home,  after  their  first  season.  And, 
then,  unless  some  of  the  boys  decide  to 
form  an  All-Kodak  football  team,  the 
name  will  pass  into  oblivion — until 
another  summer.  How  about  it,  "Dutch" 
Irwin,  "Charlie"  Kivell,  "Ned"  Ogden, 
and  the  rest  of  you  gridiron  kings? 


Last  winter  four  of  the  plants  had 
girls'  basketball  teams,  while  the  men  at 
Kodak  Park  and  Camera  Works  played 
the  game.  The  Eastman  Kodak  Baseball 
League  has  weathered  two  successful 
seasons,  while  the  Camera  Bowling 
League  has  almost  reached  man's  estate. 
Isn't  it  getting  about  time  for  the  Kodak 
Basketball  League — one  for  the  girls 
and  another  for  men?

LOOKING  BACKWARD 

OR  IX  PRE-KODAK  DAYS 

Being  a  Short  Account  of  the  Beginnings  of  Photography 


WHO  the  actual  father  of  photography 
is,  historians  do  not  agree.  The 
Germans  claim  Schultze,  the  French 
Niepce,  the  English  Wedgewood  and 
Davy.  All,  however,  are  agreed  that 
photography,  as  a  practical  art,  dates 
from  the  daguerreotype 
and  the  paper  processes 
of  Fox  Talbot. 

SCHULTZE.  The 
Schultze  claim  is  based  on 
his  observation  of  the 
sensitiveness  of  silver  to 
light,  and  the  fact  that  he 
actually  obtained  copies 
of  ^Titing  on  surfaces  of 
chalk  and  silver  nitrate. 
This  was  in  1727.  Silver 
nitrate,  however,  was 
known  as  early  as  the 
Eighth  Century,  and  the  alchemists  of  the 
Sixteenth  Century,  in  their  search  for  a 
means  of  transmuting  baser  metals  to 
gold,  had  observed  the  sensitiveness  to 
light  of  various  silver  compounds.  The 
difference  is  that  Schultze  brought  to 
these  observations,  probably  for  the  first 
time,  scientific  methods  of  orderly  inquiry 
and  careful  experiment. 

WEDGEWOOD.  The  Schultze  clue 
was  not  followed  up  for  the  purpose  of 
picture  making  until  1802,  when  Wedge- 
wood  thought  to  find  a  short  cut  to 
silhouette  making — then  a  popular  form 
of  portraiture — by  printing  the  profiles 
of  sitters  on  a  surface  prepared  with 
silver  nitrate.  He  also  tried  to  take 
photographs  in  a  "camera  obscura" — 
the  original  of  our  photographic  camera, 
and  consisting  of  a  box  with  a  lens  at 
one  end  and  a  ground  glass  at  the  other. 


fi  yHIS  i.s  the  fir.sf  of  a  series 
J-  of  articles  on  the  history  of 
photography  in  general,  and  of 
our  company  in  particular. 

The  series  will  be  as  non- 
technical as  possible  and  ^cill 
deal  in  a  most  entertaining  man- 
ner icitk  the  growth  of  photog- 
raphy and  with  the  highly 
important  part  our  company  has 
had  in  its  development. 


The  "camera  obscura"  was  an  early 
discovery,  and  was  at  first  nothing  more 
than  a  darkened  room  into  which  light 
was  admitted  through  a  hole  and  images 
thrown  on  the  wall  opposite.  Portable 
types,  fitted  with  a  lens,  followed  and 
for  years  became  the 
showman's  stock  in 
trade,  crowds  flocking  to 
see  the  beautiful  images 
thrown  on  the  ground 
glass. 

DAVY.  Wedgewood's 
experiment  consisted  in 
substituting  a  prepared 
paper  for  the  ground 
glass,  but  silver  nitrate 
which  he  used  was  not 
sensitive  enough  to  yield 
very  satisfactory  results. 
Sir  Humphrey  Davy,  who  continued 
Wedgewood's  experiments,  tried  chlo- 
ride of  silver  instead  of  nitrate,  and  was 
more  successful.  These  pictures  have  the 
interest  of  being  the  first  made  by  means 
of  a  lens  on  photographic  material,  but 
in  the  absence  of  a  "fixing"  process  had 
little  or  no  practical  value.  Davy  notes 
this  fact  in  his  account  of  the  experiments, 
lamenting  that:  "Nothing  but  a  method 
of  preventing  the  unshaded  parts  from 
being  colored  by  exposure  to  the  day  is 
wanting  to  render  this  process  as  useful 
as  it  is  elegant." 

HYPO.  The  problem  of  "fixing"  was 
not  solved  until  183J)  when  Sir  John 
Herschel  recommended  to  Daguerre  his 
own  discovery  of  twenty  years  earlier, 
hyposulphite,  since  familiar  to  all  the 
photographic  world  as  "hypo." 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


SIEFCE.  With  Daguerre  photog- 
raphy began  in  earnest.  Daguerre  was 
a  celebrated  scene  painter,  and  Hke 
many  other  artists  of  his  day,  used  the 
"camera  obscura"  for  sketching  jjiu-poses. 
The  desire  to  fix  permanently  these 
camera  images — probably  with  the  idea 
that  their  production  would  open  a 
profitable  business,  for  Daguerre  was  a 
capable  business  man  as  well  as  an 
artist — led  him  to  experiment  in  photo- 
graphic processes.  Xiepce,  with  whom 
he  formed  a  partnership,  had,  as  early 
as  1815,  begun  photographic  experiments 
to  find  a  method  of  automatically  copying 
designs  upon  lithographic  stones,  to  save 
the  tedious  work  of  the  draughtsmen. 
From  stone  he  passed  eventually  to 
tin,  pewter,  silver  and  even  glass.  The 
sensitive  substance  that  he  was  most 
successful  with  was  bitumen,  which  he 
dissolved  to  form  a  varnish  and  applied 
as  a  film  on  the  surface  to  be  treated. 
The  parts  acted  upon  by  light  were  less 
soluble,  he  found,  and  on  applying  a 
weak  solvent  these  remained  on  the  plate, 
and  with  due  care  a  picture  was  obtained, 
the  film  left  corresponding  to  the  light 
or  white  parts  of  the  subject;  the  white 
metal,  in  the  pictures  produced  on  silver, 
to  the  dark  portions  or  shadows.  Iodine 
was  then  used  to  darken  the  silver,  and 
when  the  remaining  film  was  dissolved 
away  the  white  silver  underneath  would 
represent  the  lights.  Niepce  not  only 
got  his  pictures  but  succeeded  in  fixing 
them,  and  those  still  in  existence  show 
little  or  no  deterioration. 

DAGUERRE.  Daguerre,  on  the  other 
hand,  used  the  silver,  darkened  on  its 
surface  by  iodine  fumes,  as  the  sensitive 
surface.  His  process  consisted  in  expos- 
ing the  polished  surface  of  a  silvered 
copper  plate  to  the  fumes  of  iodine  until 
it  was  coated  with  a  compound  of  silver 
and  iodine.  The  plate  was  then  exposed 
in  the  camera  and  developed  over  a  dish 
of  gently  warmed  mercury.  The  mercury 
vapor  was  deposited  on  these  parts  where 
the  light  had  acted  in  a  graduating  scale, 
the  amount  deposited  varying  according 


to  the  extent  to  which  the  part  had  been 
affected.  In  this  way  lights  and  shades 
were  well  reproduced.  The  silver  iodide 
was  then  dissolved  away  by  "hypo"  just 
as  negatives  and  silver  prints  are  fixed 
today. 

The  plates  were  eventually  made  more 
sensitive  by  the  use  of  bromine  in  addition 
to  iodine,  and  a  portrait  lens  devised 
by  Petzval  still  further  reduced  the  very 
long  exposure  necessary.  But  the  process 
was  still  slow — the  first  portrait  made  in 
America  for  instance — that  of  Miss 
Catherine  Draper,  was  exposed  for  six 
minutes  in  strong  daylight  with  the  face 
thickly  powdered  to  facilitate  exposure. 
With  a  single  plate  for  each  picture  the 
process  was  also  costly,  but  in  spite  of 
these  handicaps  the  new  art  was  popular 
and  daguerreotypists  multiplied  and  plied 
their  trade  successfully  until  1851,  when 
the  collodion  process  was  introduced. 

EOX  TALBOT.  In  the  process  of 
Fox  Talbot,  an  English  contemporary  of 
Daguerre,  called  "calotype,"  paper  was 
impregnated  with  silver  iodide,  and  shortly 
Ijefore  exposure  washed  over  with  a 
mixed  solution  of  silver  nitrate  and 
gallic  acid.  The  image  was  developed 
by  washing  the  paper  with  more  of  the 
gallic  acid  and  silver  solution  and  warm- 
ing it  before  the  fire.  From  the  negatives 
produced,  prints  were  made  in  much  the 
same  way  as  now. 

Up  to  this  time  the  sensitive  silver 
compounds,  it  will  be  noticed,  were  used 
either  on  a  metal  plate  or  on  paper. 
Negatives  on  glass  plates  were  not  made 
practicable  until  1848,  when  Niepce  de 
Saint  Victor,  nephew  of  the  first  Niepce, 
worked  out  a  method  of  using  a  film  of 
albumen  to  support  the  sensitive  com- 
pound on  glass.  In  1851  Frederick 
Archer  Scott  introduced  collodion  in 
place  of  albumen.  This  collodion  process, 
popularly  known  as  the  "wet  plate," 
superseded  all  others  and  made  possible 
and  practicable  the  profession  of  photog- 
raphy as  we  understand  it  today.

IT  appears  that  our  philanthropic 
friend,  over  in  the  land  of  the  cod 
and  the  home  of  the  bean,  didn't  have 
any  new  scheme  at  all,  at  all,  but  just 
worked  the  old  "come  on"  game,  and  the 
ever  present  crop  of  suckers  fell  for  it  to 
the  tune  of  millions  of  dollars. 

We,  so  far,  haven't  heard  of  any  of 
the  Rochester  folks  "investing"  with 
this  gentleman,  but  almost  any  time  you 
can  walk  up  or  down  our  main  thorough- 
fare and  find  a  crowd  in  some  temporarily 
rented  store  paying  good  money,  hard 
earned,  or  harder  saved,  money  for  shares 
in  a  glass  suspender  company,  or  some- 
thing else  of  an  equally  questionable 
future. 

You  cannot  get  something  for  nothing; 
the  only  successful  ca.se  on  record  is  the 
one  where  Willie  Jones  got  a  licking  for 
something  his  twin  brother  did  —  dad 
couldn't  tell  'em  apart,  so  he  licked  them 
both. 

If  you  feel  an  impulse  to  go  into  some 
of  these  things,  don't  just  take  the  word 
of  some  promoter  for  it ;  look  into  it  care- 
fully— and  then  the  chances  are  you  will 
stay  out. 


Our  legal  department  can  help  you  on 
this.  If  you  should  happen  to  be  a  bit 
timid  about  asking  them,  ask  the  editor 
(nobody  is  afraid  of  an  editor)  and  he  wuU 
ask  them  for  vou. 


The  vicious  circle  of  unthrift:  did  you 
ever  stop  to  follow  it  around?  It  is 
stated  that  two-thirds  of  the  world's 
supply  of  diamonds  is  owned  in  the  United 
States.  About  one-fourth  of  this  two- 
thirds  is  in  the  possession  of  persons  who 
work  for  a  living  with  their  own  hands. 

A  very  large  percentage  came  into  the 
possession  of  their  present  owners  during 
or  since  the  war — from  the  proceeds  from 
the  sale  of  Liberty  Bonds. 

You  heard  "diamonds  are  a  good  invest- 
ment, they  are  going  up  and  up  in  price." 
But  they  carry  no  coupons.  Sure  they 
went  up  in  price  and  probably  will 
continue  to  do  so,  but  when  you  want  to 
sell  you  find  a  different  story.  The 
dealer  in  very  few  instances  will  buy  them 
back  from  you;  if  he  does,  it  will  be  at  a 
big  discount,  so  the  usual  recourse  is  to 
the  pawnshop.  The  pawnshop  will 
cheerfully  advance  you  a  hundred  dollars 
per  carat,  and  your  dream  of  the  perma- 
nent value  of  portable  property  is  over. 

Hang  on  to  your  bonds;  they  are  an 
anchor  of  safety;  they  are  backed  by  the 
strongest  and  richest  nation  on  the  earth. 

The  temporary  slump  in  the  price  of 
bonds  has  been  largely  due  to  the  flooding 
of  the  market  by  improvident  and  unwise 
owners. 

The  crest  of  the  wave  of  foolish  extrava- 
gance has  passed — the  bonds  will  come 
into  their  own — and  soon.

HOW   KODAK   FILM   IS   MADE 


YOU  have  journeyed  through  the 
Camera  Works,  and  the  Hawk-Eye 
plant,  and  so  are  now  quite  famihar 
with  the  manufacture  of  Kodaks, 
Brownies,  and  the  lenses  that  produce 
the  picture  image. 

Of  equal  importance  is  the  substance 
or  thing  that  will  catch  and  retain  the 
image  produced  by  the  lens. 

So  let  us  journey  to  Kodak  Park  and 
find  out  a  bit  how  the  film,  the  Kodak 
ammunition,  is  produced,  as  well  as  the 
thousands  and  thousands  of  miles  of 
motion  picture  film. 

^Slany  different  raw  products  enter 
into  the  manufacture  of  Kodak  film 
and  every  process  demands  the  highest 
skill  and  most  exacting  care. 

Bales  and  bales  of  cotton  are  required 
for  the  making  of  the  thin,  transparent 
backing  on  which  the  light-sensitive 
picture-making  coating  is  spread.  A 
darky  in  the  cotton  field  today  may  be, 
for  all  he  knows,  pulling  the  cotton 
for  his  next  season's  shirt,  or  for  a  motion 
picture  film  he  will  later  see  produced 
when  he  goes  to  town. 

And  did  you  know  that  the  image  you 
see  when  you  hold  a  Kodak  negative 
to  the  light  is  composed  of  silver — 
the  real  stuff? 

At  Kodak  Park  some  two  tons  of 
silver  bullion  are  used  each  week  for 
making  the  sensitive  coating.  Two  tons 
a  week — close  to  four  million  troy  ounces 
a  year — almost  the  total  output  of  silver 
from  Arizona,  one  of  the  largest  silver- 
producing  States  in  the  Union. 

We  are  the  largest  consumers  of  silver 
in  the  United  States,  aside  from  the 
United  States  Mint. 

Besides  the  silver  and  cotton,  various 
acids  are  required  for  treating  the  cotton 
and  silver,  all  of  which  are  manufactured 
in  huge  quantities  at  the  Park.  Organic 
solvents,  including  alcohol  and  other 
liquids,  are  required  for  converting  the 
nitrated  cotton  into  a  honev-like  fluid. 


from  which  the  thin  film  base  is  produced, 
and  lastly  the  gelatine  and  compounds 
for  making  the  sensitive  coating.

COTTON  NITRATING  CENTRIFUGAL 

For  convenience  in  following  the  process 
of  manufacture,  let  us  divide  it  into 
four  parts:  First,  the  chemical  preparation 
of  raw  materials  such  as  the  cotton  and 
silver.  Second,  spreading  of  the  support 
or  cellulose  backing  for  the  sensitive 
emulsion.  Third,  spreading  the  emulsion 
on  the  support.  Fourth,  the  slitting  of 
the  large  film  rolls  into  stock  sizes, 
inspection  and  packing  for  shipment. 

Everywhere  at  Kodak  Park  absolute 
orderliness  and  cleanliness  is  evident 
and  this  is  absolutely  necessary  for  the 
production  of  high  quality  sensitized 
products  such  as  Kodak  film. 

High  average  quality — uniformity — 
is  another  absolute  requisite. 

The  greatest  of  care  is  exercised  in 
the  selection  of  the  raw  material.  It 
is  all  subjected  to  repeated  tests  and 
examinations,  and  if  it  cannot  come  up 
to  our  high  standard  it  is  rejected. 

Let  us  follow  a  bale  of  cotton  in  its 
journey.     After  being  carefully  cleansed 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


Illustration  No.  -2— WASHING  COTTON 


and  prepared  to  render  it  soluble,  it  is 
passed  through  a  huge  drying  machine 
to  remove  moisture. 

The  cotton  after  being  dried  is  then 
placed  in  special  machines  called  nitrating 
centrifugals,  when  the  cotton  is  mixed 
with  the  nitrating  acids. 

The  acids  act  upon  the  cotton  so  that 
later   it    is    dissolved    into    a    honev-like 


substance  called  "dope"  at  the  Park. 
This  is  then  formed  into  a  transparent 
sheet  which  is  the  film  base  upon  which 
the  sensitive  emulsion  is  coated. 

After  being  treated  with  the  acids, 
such  cotton,  when  washed  and  dried,  is 
called  nitrated  cotton.  One  of  the 
nitrating  machines  is  shown  in  Illustration 
Xo.  1. 


Illustration    No.  S— DISSOLVING  BARS  OF  SILVER  TO  FORM  SILVER  NITRATE 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE

After  removal  from  the  nitrating 
machine  the  cotton  is  taken  to  a  large 
tank,  where  it  undergoes  a  thorough 
washing.  The  cotton  is  again  placed 
in  one  of  the  centrifugals  and  washed, 
and  then  taken  to  another  tank  and 
thoroughly  washed  so  as  to  remove 
every  trace  of  acid. 

The  cotton  is  now  ready  to  be  taken 
into  solution  by  the  organic  solvents 
when  it  changes  into  a  thick  fluid  like 
honey  or  "dope." 

This  ""dope"  is  passed  through  an 
elaborate  system  of  filters  and  is  finally 
spread  in  thin  layers  on  highly  polished 
wheels  which  form  parts  of  immense 
machines  several  stories  high  and  weigh- 
ing approximately  150  tons.  When  dried 
it  has  become  the  familiar  transparent 
baclving  upon  which  the  sensitive  material 
is  later  coated. 

In  designing  these  huge  dope  spreading 
machines  our  engineers  achieved  a 
distinct  triumph. 

In  spite  of  their  mammoth  size,  the 
accuracy  is  such  that  in  a  roll  of  film 
base  as  it  comes  from  the  machine  33/2 
feet  wide  by  2,000  feet  long,  the  variation 
in  thickness  is  not  more  than  one-cjuarter 
of  a  thousandth  of  an  inch  from  end  to 
end. 

Two  thicknesses  of  this  support  are 
made,  one  being  .003  inch  thick  for  the 
ordinary  N.  C.  or  Kodak  film,  and  the 
other  .005  inch  thick  for  motion  jiicture 
film. 

The  silver  which  we  use  in  such 
immense  quantities  is  the  purest  that 
can  be  obtained.  The  silver  comes  to 
us  in  bars  weighing  about  500  troy 
ounces.  As  needed  the  bars  of  silver 
are  placed  in  large  porcelain  crocks 
containing  dilute  nitric  acid.  Silver  ni- 
trate in  solution  is  thus  formed,  which 
in  the  following  step  is  evaporated  to 
crystallization.  The  silver  solution  is 
poured  into  evaporating  disju's  and 
placed  on  steam  tables  to  hasten 
evaporation.  After  a  certain  amount 
of  the  silver  nitrate  has  been  cry.stallized, 
the   crystals   and    the   liquifl    remaining. 


which  is  called  the  mother  liquor,  are 
poured  off  into  draining  dishes,  which 
allow  the  mother  liquor  to  drain  off. 
The  crystals  are  redissolved  and 
recrystallized  until  all  impurities  are 
removed,  in  order  to  have  the  final  run  a 
one  hundred  per  cent  i)ure  product. 


Illustration  No.  4 
CONTAINER  OF  SFIAKR  NITRATE  CRYSTALS 

The  pure  white  crystals  are  now  placed 
in  draining  baskets,  and  then  are  placed 
in  shallow  glass  trays  and  allowed  to 
dry,  at  first  on  ojien  racks  and  then  in 
drying  closets.  They  are  finally  placed 
in  covered  jars  and  stored  until  needed. 

Next  comes  the  production  of  the 
light  sensitive  emulsion.  To  make  this 
emulsion  a  silver  nitrate  solution  is 
mixed  with  a  .solution  of  potassium  bro- 
mide and  gelatine  dissolved  in  hot  water, 
thus  forming  insoluble  silver  bromide 
in  the  solution,  which  is  the  compound 
that  is  sensitive  to  light.

This  warm  solution  of  gelatine 
containing  the  silver  bromide  is  coated 
on  the  transparent  backing  we  have 
described. 

After  the  emulsion  has  been  applied 
the  film  can  only  be  handled  in  dark 
rooms  which  are  kept  at  a  constant 
temperature  and  humidity. 

The  large  rolls  of  sensitized  film  are 
then  packed  in  long  tin  cans  and  stored 
in  a  special  room  until  the  slitting  and 
inspection  departments  are  ready  for 
them. 

Every  bit  of  raw  material,  every  step 
in  every  process,  is  the  subject  of 
increasing  vigilance,  test  and  retest. 
The  entire  surface  of  every  roll  before 
being  cut  up  is  closely  examined  by 
special  inspectors.  That  is  why  the 
amateur  the  world  over  demands  "the 
film  in  the  yellow  carton,"  and  why  our 
motion  picture  film  is  used  by  all  leading 
producers. 

The  making  of  the  duplex  paper 
backing,  the  separating  tissue  for  the 
Autographic  Film,  and  the  spooling  and 
packing  are  stories  by  themselves. 


GETTING  AHEAD 

In  every  business  concern,  large  or 
small,  there  is  on  the  part  of  every  in- 
dividual, a  natural  eagerness  and  desire 
to  get  ahead  and.  more  or  less  rivalry 
ensues  as  a  result.  It  is  a  great  mistake, 
however,  to  have  uppermost  in  the  mind, 
the  idea  of  beating  the  other  fellow  to  it, 
some  particular  friend,  associate  or  neigh- 
bor. Such  rivalry  easily  breeds  animosity 
and  trouble. 

The  surer  way  is  to  get  ahead  of  your- 
self each  day — never  mind  the  other  fel- 
low. Get  ahead  of  yourself  each  day  by 
improving  on  the  day  before,  by  surpas- 
sing that  day's  record,  by  being  more 
eager,  more  cheerful,  more  attentive  to 
your  work  and  being  more  of  a  man. 

Each  of  us  has  his  own  idea  of  the  goal, 
little  or  big,  which  he  wishes  to  attain. 
It's  up  to  every  individual  one  of  us,  not 
the  other  fellow,  to  reach  that  goal. 


Talk  about  reasoning  in  a  circle.  Did 
you  ever  notice  that  a  mouse  is  afraid  of  a 
man,  a  man  is  afraid  of  a  woman,  and  a 
woman  is  afraid  of  a  mouse?

PRESENT  CONDITIONS 


THE  large  financial  institutions  dealing 
with  the  investing  class  have  to  have 
absolutely  accurate  knowledge  of  condi- 
tions in  general,  and  to  be  able  to  fore- 
cast, as  far  as  is  humanly  possible,  how 
present  conditions  will  affect  the  future. 
This  knowledge  must  be  based  on  facts, 
and  absolutely  uncolored  by  political  or 
other  bias. 

It  is  in  a  way  unfortunate  that  many 
of  us  do  not  have  access  to  this  informa- 
tion, and  so  must  depend  for  guidance 
upon  information  not  always  so  reliable. 

It  so  happens  that  we  receive  the 
monthly  news  letter  of  the  National  City 
Bank  of  New^  York,  and  from  their 
September  issue  we  quote  the  following: 

"The  general  business  situation  in  our 
opinion  has  been  developing  in  a  satis- 
factory manner  during  the  past  month, 
although  this  does  not  mean  that  present 
conditions  are  all  that  could  be  desired. 
It  means  that  the  general  trend  is  toward 
normal  and  permanent  conditions,  and 
that  existing  disorders  are  no  greater  than 
might  be  expected  in  accomplishing  the 
adjustments  that  are  necessary.  The 
crops  are  fine,  which  is  a  good  foundation 
for  domestic  business  and  for  international 
relations.  The  railroad  situation  has 
improved  decidedly'  during  the  past 
month,  and  although  far  from  satisfactory 
gives  promise  of  gradual  betterment. 
There  is  a  better  feeling  in  banking  circles 
as  to  the  credit  situation,  although  money 
will  remain  tight.  The  recession  of 
industrial  activity  which  is  under  way  is 
not  severe  enough  to  be  alarming,  but  is 
incidental  to  finding  a  lower  level  of 
prices.  The  abundant  crops  have  accom- 
plished a  general  price  reduction  in  food- 
stuffs and  the  raw  materials  of  clothing. 
With  the  exception  of  sugar,  which  has 
declined  about  10  cents  per  pound  in  the 
last  two  months,  the  important  food 
staples  are  either  as  low  as  or  lower  than 
a  year  ago.  Meat  products  are  lower, 
flour    and    vegetables    about    the    .same. 


fruits  lower,  coffee  less  than  one-half  the 
price  of  a  year  ago.  Raw  cotton  has 
declined  about  10  cents  per  pound  in  the 
last  two  months,  wool  even  more,  hides 
and  leather  more,  raw  silk  about  70  per 
cent  in  six  months.  The  markets  for 
textile  goods  have  been  paralyzed  by  these 
declines  in  raw  materials,  but  declines 
have  taken  place  in  many  important 
staples. 

"Over  the  industrial  field  the  general 
trend  of  prices  is  downward,  and  the 
pressure  is  slackening,  with  an  increase 
of  unemployment.  An  abundance  of 
labor  was  available  for  the  harvest,  and 
it  is  probable  that  some  of  the  labor  which 
has  been  attracted  from  the  farms  during 
the  last  five  years  will  now  return  and 
remain.  The  period  of  acute  scarcity 
both  for  goods  and  for  labor  appears  to 
be  over  and  a  competitive  situation  is 
developing.  It  is  well  that  there  shall  be 
general  recognition  of  the  fact  that  the 
upward  movem'ent  has  run  its  course  and 
that  further  wage  and  price  advances  are 
untimely. 

"It  was  a  mistake  when  the  war  ended 
to  think  that  an  immediate  readjustment 
upon  a  lower  level  of  values  would  be 
effected;  there  was  a  great  shortage  of 
goods  and  a  backed  up  demand  for  labor 
which  promptly  absorbed  all  that  was 
released  from  the  armies  and  war  indus- 
tries. Hence  the  quick  revival  of  business 
and  the  rise  of  wages  and  prices  in  1919. 
That  situation  was  as  abnormal  and  as 
temporary  in  character  as  the  industrial 
situation  of  the  war  time. 

"As  in  the  case  of  house-building,  this 
work  may  be  checked  by  the  rising  costs, 
but  that  only  means  that  costs  must  come 
down,  with  the  assurance  that  as  they 
decline  activity  will  revive. 

"There  is  a  slackening  in  the  demand 
for  our  products  abroad  and  an  increase 
in  our  own  importations,  both  of  which 
changes  have  an  influence  for  lower  prices 
in  our  markets.

THE    KODAK    AL\GAZINE 


"It  must  be  remembered  that  the 
highest  prosperity  for  every  interest  is 
to  be  found  in  a  state  of  balanced  indus- 
try, in  which  everybody  is  employed  and 
buying  freely  of  the  products  of  others. 
Idleness  anywhere  in  the  industrial  circle 
affects  everybody  in  that  circle  unfavor- 
ably, and  full  employment  everywhere 
means  that  products  must  be  exchange- 
able on  the  normal,  accustomed,  basis. 
If  one  class  of  products  falls,  the  producers 
of  that  group  will  be  able  to  buy  less  of 
the  products  of  others  unless  the  latter 
come  down  also.  The  resolution  of  this 
or  that  group  as  to  what  they  will  have 
for  their  seryices  amounts  to  little  when 
the  buying  power  of  the  other  groups 
decline.  A  wage-earner  who  is  working 
only  half  the  time  at  the  old  rate  may 
assure  himself  for  a  while  that  his  wages 
have  not  been  reduced,  but  the  truth  will 
eventually  find  its  way  home. 

"At  this  time,  when  the  industries  and 
exchanges  of  the  whole  world  are  out  of 
balance,  and  there  is  great  need  for 
patience  and  co-operation  among  all 
classes,  ill-feeling  is  constantly  stimulated 
by  hasty  and  uninformed  comment. 
People  write  and  talk  loosely,  often  with- 
out knowledge  of  the  facts  they  discuss 
and  still  more  often  without  intelligent 
comprehension  of  the  economic  laws 
which  are  involved.  The  natural  economic 
law  is  always  working  to  restore  normal 
conditions,  but  time  is  required  for  its 
operations,  and  meanwhile  the  impatient 
people  are  wanting  to  adopt  arbitrary 
measures,  which  usually  have  all  sorts 
of  results  not  anticipated  and  which 
interfere  with  the  natural  processes  of 
recovery. 

"The  public  does  not  like  to  pay  high 
prices,  particularly  when  it  believes  that 
they  yield  large  profits,  and  yet,  as 
already  indicated,  profits  afford  the  most 
certain  means  by  which  prices  are  reduced. 
The  real  social  problem  of  the  present 
time  is  how  to  bring  home  to  the  average 
man  the  fact  that  an  abundant  supply  of 
all  things  that  he  is  wanting  is  dependent 
upon   the   accumulation   of  capital,   not 


necessarily  in  his  own  hands,  but  in  any 
hands  that  will  use  it  effectively  in  pro- 
duction. 

"The  fundamental  reason  for  the  high 
prices,  and  that  increasing  wages  do  not 
overtake  rising  prices,  is  that  there  is  a 
scarcity  of  capital,  or  in  other  words  a 
scarcity  of  the  means  of  production  and 
distribution.  It  is  well  understood  that 
the  limiting  condition  upon  industry  in 
this  country  today  is  the  state  of  the 
railroads.  They  have  not  been  kept  up 
to  the  growth  of  the  country.  This 
means  that  thousands  of  men  must  work 
for  years,  building  cars,  locomotives  and 
switch  tracks  to  get  the  railroads  into 
shape  to  handle  the  traffic  that  is  offered. 
These  men  must  be  paid  for  this  work,  the 
money  amounting  to  billions  of  dollars 
must  be  ready  as  they  do  their  work,  and 
must  come  from  an  available  surplus, 
accumulated  by  somebody.  So  also 
billions  of  capital  are  wanted  for  the 
building  of  houses,  and  for  other  con- 
struction work,  needed  to  provide  for  the 
comfort  of  the  population.  Of  all  the 
many  proposals  offered  for  improving  the 
living  conditions  of  the  people,  there  is 
not  one  which  does  not  require  capital; 
they  are  all  conditioned  upon  somebody 
having  a  surplus  which  can  be  obtained 
either  by  inducing  him  to  give  or  invest,  or 
by  taxation.  Not  everybody  recognizes 
that  even  taxation  requires  that  some- 
body shall  have  acquired  a  surplus,  but 
that  is  evidently  the  case." 

BONFIRES 

It  is  great  sport,  indeed,  for  the  children 
to  rake  up  the  fallen  leaves  and  make 
bonfires.  Hardly  an  autumn  season  goes 
by  but  what  some  Rochester  children  are 
seriously  burned  as  a  result  of  their 
clothing  catching  fire  from  bonfires. 

Warn  your  children  against  this  hazard. 
If  there  are  leaves  to  be  done  away  with, 
better  rake  them  into  a  little  pile  and  have 
the  street  cleaner  cart  them  away,  than 
have  your  child  bearing  a  life  marked 
evidence  of  someone's  carelessness.

CAMERA  ^YORKS  GARDEN  EXHIBIT  AT  THE  EXPOSITION 

FIRST  it  was  one.  then  along  came 
another,  then  there  were  two.  Now 
the  Camera  Works  Gardeners  Association 
has  added  a  third  successive  win  to  its 
well  started  series  of  first  prize  premiums. 
Yes,  the  Camera  ^Yo^kers  will  always 
have  one  thing  to  speak  of  boastfully — 
their  prize  winning  gardens. 

If  you  have  ever  grown  anytiung  in 
\ our  two  by  four  back  yard  or  on  your 
acre  farm,  you  know  that  the  quality,  as 
a  whole,  of  the  vegetables  grown  this  year 
was  on  a  higher  plane  than  that  of  last 
year.  And  when  such  concerns  as  Bausch 
&  Lomb,  General  Railway  Signal  Com- 
pany. Art-In-Buttons,  American  Wood- 
working Machinery,  National  Brass  Com- 
pany and  our  colleague,  Hawk-Eye, 
gather  together  the  best  types  and  varie- 
ties from  their  many  gardens,  you  can 
easily  imagine  how  meritorious  the 
Camera  Works  Garden  exhibit  had  to  be 
in  order  to  land  on  top  of  all  competitors. 

"Some  'ternips'  and  lookit  them  squash 
— I  mean  them  over  there  with  the  long 
necks.  But  what  are  these?  Oh  yes, 
tomatoes."  were  some  of  the  remarks 
made  about  the  perfect  display  of  the 
Camera  Works  quality-through-and- 
throuah  vegetables.

Much  credit  is  due  the  Camera  Works 
Home  Gardeners  Association  for  the  man-

best  term  that  could  be  used  to  denote  the 
quality  of  the  garden  specialties  displayed.

BIGGER  AND  BETTER  THAN  EVER 


152,750.  That's  the  official  attend- 
ance record  for  the  Rochester  Industrial 
Exposition,  1920.  Every  other  person  in 
the  city — and  it's  a  pretty  safe  bet  that 
all  but  about  fifty  of  'em  spent  at  least 
a  moment  giving  the  Kodak  booth  the 
o.  o.  According  to  "Doc"  Haskell  and 
H.  J.  Potter,  of  the  Advertising  Depart- 
ment, who  had  charge  of  the  exhibit,  this 
throng  of  visitors  volleyed  about  a  million 
cjuestions,  ranging  all  the  way  from 
youngsters  who  wanted  to  see  a  Brownie, 
to  the  ultra-ambitious  amateurs  who 
started  arguments  about  the  relative 
merits  of  a  No.  9  Premo  and  a  Speed 
Graphic. 

But  the  job  was  not  devoid  of  human 
interest  features  either.  Early  in  the 
week,  "Doc"  was  trying  to  entertain  a 
couple  of  winsome  lasses  who  seemed 
particularly  interested  in  his  booth.  One 
of  them  was  shown  half  a  dozen  different 
Kodaks  before  she  found  the  one  she 
wanted.     And,  then,  turning  to  her  com- 


panion, she  said:  "Look,  Betty!  See 
that  name-plate?  Well,  I  punch  the 
holes  in  those!"  And,  satisfied  with  this 
proof  of  craftsmanship,  the  pair  sauntered 
away — jjerhaps  to  the  Horse  Show — or 
the  Midway — or  to  follow  the  jazz  lure  of 
the  peristyle.  Who  knows?  Perhaps, 
even,  they  went  to  see  the  Camera  Works 
and  Hawk-Eye  garden  exhibits. 

Perchance  the  next  caller  would  be  a 
lens-grinder  from  Hawk-Eye  or  a  maker 
of  aerial  cameras.  At  any  rate,  Kodak 
workers,  one  and  all  stopped  for  a  glance 
at  the  exhibit.  It  lacked  the  spectacular 
and  somewhat  martial  apj^eal  of  last 
year's  aerial  display,  but  it  showed 
Kodaks  of  every  size  and  for  every  pur- 
pose, supported  by  advertising  pictures, 
representing  the  highest  cjuality  of  photo- 
graphic art.  The  Kodak  exhibit  occupied 
the  same  section  which  has  been  allotted 
to  it  in  former  years,  and  proved  once 
more  a  Mecca  for  Kodak  workers.

PREVENTING  COLDS 


A  CENTURY  ago  Benjamin  Franklin 
said  that  "'people  who  live  in  the 
forest,  in  open  barns  or  with  open  win- 
dows do  not  catch  cold,  and  that  the 
disease  called  a  cold  is  generally  caused 
hy  impure  air,  lack  of  exercise  or  over- 
eating." What  he  set  forth  tlien  is  a 
proven  fact  today. 

In  a  very  large  measure,  colds  are  due 
to  a  state  of  low  resistance  brought  about 
either  by  fatigue,  eating  too  much,  con- 
stipation or  lack  of  exercise  and  fresh 
air. 

There  are  always  present  in  the  mucous 
membrane  of  the  nose  and  throat,  germs 
which  if  given  a  chance  will  cause  an 
inflammation  or  infection  of  this  mem- 
brane. This  is  called  a  cold  in  the  head, 
or  throat  or  chest.  So  long  as  our  bodies 
remain  in  a  healthy  condition,  these 
germs  will  not  attack  us.  Now  what 
gives  these  bugs  the  chance  they  need  to 
set  up  an  infection  or  a  cold?  Anything 
which  injures  or  irritates  the  mucous 
membrane.  There  are  two  causes,  in- 
ternal or  external.  The  external,  such 
as  gases,  air  that  is  stale,  too  hot  or  too 
dry,  dust,  or  exposure  to  another  bad 
cold.  (Yes,  colds  are  always  contagious; 
so  watch  out  when  your  neighbor  coughs 
or  sneezes.) 

The  internal  causes,  or  lack  of  proper 
body  function,  consist  of  insufficient 
elimination  of  waste  matter,  too  much 
food,  being  over  fatigued  and  not  getting 
sufficient  rest  and  exercise.  All  these 
things  have  a  direct  effect  on  the  delicate 
membranes  and  lowers  their  resistance. 

Exposure  to  cold  air  and  drafts  is  not 
nearly  so  harmful  as  is  usually  thought. 
Drafts  against  some  exposed  part  of  the 
body  causing  a  local  cliill  may  })e  harm- 
ful, but  a  gentle  draft  if  one  is  moving 
about  or  not  over-heated,  such  as  in 
good  ventilation,  is  extremely  desirable. 
Those  who  become  friends  with  moving 
air  and  keep  their  body  toned  up  to  pitch 
soon  become  immune  to  colds.     It  is  a 


well-known  fact  and  often  spoken  of  that 
those  who  live  out  in  the  open  never 
experience  colds,  but  as  soon  as  the.se 
same  people  return  to  civilization. crowded 
cities,  congested  gathering  places  and 
public  conveyances  with  dust  and  gases 
and  the  all-too-frequent  lack  of  pure  air 
and  sufficient  exercise  to  eliminate  waste, 
they  often  get  inflammation  of  the  nose 
and  throat  and  sometimes  severe  colds. 
This  is  at  least  one  good  argument  in 
favor  of  fresh  air. 

If  you  are  living  carefully  and  still  have 
frequent  colds,  you  should  have  your 
doctor  look  for  nasal  obstruction  or 
gro\\i:hs  which  are  sometimes  the  cause 
of  recurrent  colds. 

Nobody  wants  a  cold,  so  why  not  begin 
now  by  building  up  a  defense  against 
such  an  evil.  It  can  be  done  if  you  will 
"watch  your  step." 

First,  keep  the  digestion  good  by  never 
over-eating.  Proper  diet,  plenty  of  water 
between  meals  and  careful  attention  to 
the  bowels  are  most  helpful.  Intestinal 
contents  become  dangerous  by  being  re- 
tained too  long.  Putrifying  fecal  matter 
contains  poisons  which  are  harmful  to 
the  body.  Abnormal  conditions  of  the 
intestines  are  largely  responsible  for  the 
common  headache,  general  lowered  re- 
sistance resulting  in  colds  and  other  more 
serious  ailments.  And  remember,  it  is 
better  to  control  this  body  function  by 
proper  habit  than  by  resorting  to  drugs. 

Second,  keep  the  whole  body  surface 
clean  and  accustomed  to  cool  water  so 
that  it  will  not  be  shocked  by  cold  air. 
If  you  can  stand  it,  you  should  gradually 
discard  all  woolen  underwear.  Half- 
wool  or  all  cotton  is  best.  Never  sleep  in 
the  same  clothes  worn  during  the  day. 
These  should  be  hung  up  to  air  at  night 
and  the  night  clothes  aired  during  the  day. 
Use  fresh  air  in  every  possible  way. 

Third,  avoid  too  much  heat.  Sixty- 
five  degrees  is  sufficient  when  moving 
about  and  sixty-eight  to  seventy  for  those 


16 


THE    KODAK    >L\GAZL\E 


who  are  sitting  down.  Avoid  sudden 
changes  in  temperature,  demand  good 
ventilation,  cultivate  an  appetite  for  pure 
air.  You  wouldn't  care  to  bathe  in 
another's  bath,  why  bathe  your  lungs  in 
another's  soiled  air?  Practice  deep  breath- 
ing and  try  to  increase  your  lung  capacity. 
"One  hundred  deep  breaths  a  day,"  is 
one  physician's  prescription  for  avoiding 
tuberculosis.  Is  it  worth  the  trial. ^  It 
may  prevent  simple  colds  too. 

Fourth,  of  late,  vaccines  have  been 
used  for  the  prevention  of  colds  and  to  a 
certain  extent  have  been  successful.  The.se 
are  given  in  the  same  manner  as  the 
vaccine  against  typhoid  fever  which  was 


used  so  extensively  in  the  Army,  and  gives 
an  immunity  against  the  common  cold 
for  a  period  of  about  one  winter.  The 
Medical  Department  stands  ready  at  all 
times  to  give  advice  concerning  sucli 
things  and  wishes  to  co-operate  in  every 
way  possible  to  reduce  the  number  of 
colds  per  capita. 

And  lastly,  you  know  the  particular 
father  who  was  careful  to  instruct  his 
son,  "Now,  Jakie  don't  shteal  whatefer 
you  do,  don't  shteal.  But,  Jakie,  if  you 
must  shteal,  don't  get  caught."  So  don't 
catch  cold,  but  if  you  must  catch  cold. 
or  should — well,  perhaps  the  Medical 
Department  might  help  you. 


WARNING  TO  HOME  PURCHASERS 


IX  the  July  number  of  The  Kodak  Mag- 
az/^?  appeared  an  article  concerning  the 
loans  offered  by  the  Kodak  Employees 
Association  (Incorporated)  to  employees 
who  are  contemplating  the  purchase  of 
homes.  That  article  contained  a  warning 
against  signing  any  purchase  offer  which 
does  not  contain  a  statement  that  the 
offer  is  conditional  upon  the  employee 
being  able  to  secure  a  loan  from  the  Kodak 
Employees  Association  (Incorporated)  in 
a  named  amount. 

In  spite  of  that  warning,  .several  em- 
ployees who  were  expecting  to  obtain 
loans  from  the  Association  have  signed 
offers  without  such  a  statement.  Later 
when  through  over  valuation  of  the  prop- 
erty the  Association  refused  to  grant  the 
loan,  tho.se  employees  discovered  that 
they  could  not  get  back  the  money  they 
had  deposited  with  the  real  estate  broker. 
In  one  instance  in  addition  to  his  deposit 
the  employee  had  to  pay  the  .seller  a  con- 
siderable sum  to  recompense  him  (the 
seller)  for  legitimate  expenses  to  which 
he  had  been  put  relying  on  the  sale. 

This  is  a  very  regrettable  state  of 
affairs  and  in  order  to  correct  it  as  much 
as  possible  a  bulletin  was  recently  issued 
stating  that  employees  expecting  to  obtain 
loans  for  the  purchase  of  homes  should 


sign  no  papers  until  they  had  been  ap- 
proved by  the  Legal  Department.  There- 
fore, when  you  decide  on  the  house  you 
wish  to  buy,  and  the  real  estate  agent  <»r 
the  owner  asks  you  to  sign  an  offer  or  to 
make  a  deposit,  do  neither  until  you  have 
brought  the  paper  to  the  Legal  Depart- 
ment. This  may  take  a  little  longer  but 
it  is  the  only  safe  way. 

It  appears  to  be  a  regrettable  but 
common  trait  in  human  nature  that 
people  who  work  hard  and  long  to  get 
together  savings  with  which  to  invest  in 
some  worthy  object  often  seem  almost 
anxious  to  part  with  some  of  those  savings 
without  proper  protection  to  themselves. 

Incidentally  it  should  be  borne  in  mind 
that  the  only  reason  why  the  Kodak 
Employees  Association  has  refused  to 
grant  any  application  for  a  loan  which 
comes  within  the  terms  of  its  plan  of 
making  loans  is  that  the  property  is  not 
worth  the  price  asked.  In  other  words, 
the  Association  is  working  for  the  protec- 
tion of  the  individual  employee  as  well  as 
for  the  .safeguarding  of  the  funds  com- 
mitted to  its  care. 

Employees  purchasing  homes  relying 
on  loans  from  any  source  should  not  sign 
a  purchase  offer  or  make  a  deposit  with- 
out .^r.sY  consulting  the  Legal  Department .

THE  FIFTH  ANNUAL  EXHIBIT  OF  THE  EMPLOYEES 
HOME  GARDENING  ASSOCIATION 


Well,  what  did  you  think  of  it?  Wasn't  it  the 
best  exhibit  we  have  ever  staged?  This  was  the 
opinion  of  people  outside  of  the  Camera  Works, 
and  also  the  verdict  of  Mr.  Metcalfe,  the  famous 
judge  from  Irondequoit.  Many  of  us  can  remember 
the  first  exhibit  the  Association  staged  in  1915  in 
the  now  obsolete  dining  room,  and  it  seems  almost 
a  joke  when  we  compare  the  cjuality  of  the  exhibits 
now  to  those  on  show  "in  the  good  old  days.""  Then 
a  carrot  was  a  carrot,  but  now  it  has  to  be  an 
aristocrat  and  then  some,  before  the  boys  will 
even  attempt  to  enter  in  competition!  Of  course, 
some  people  were  heard  to  remark,  "If  I  had  shown 
mine,  I  could  have  won  easy,""  but  all  of  that  surmise 
is  up  to  them  to  prove,  and,  as  a  visitor  told  us,  it 
was  almost  impossible  to  imagine  more  perfect 
specimens  than  those  on  display. 

There  were  one  hundred  fifty-three  entries  in  the 
single  classes,  and  seven  entries  in  the  collective 
display,  the  latter  display  totaling  one  hundred 
forty  vegetables.  The  exhiliits  included  native 
vegetables  from  European  Countries,  and  a  very 
interesting  assortment  of  dried  beans  peculiar  to 


Italy.  Possibly  the  most  striking  feature  of  the 
exhibit  was  the  collection  of  Fred  Brehm,  President 
of  the  Association,  whose  display  caused  great 
comment.  With  forty-nine  distinct  and  different 
types  of  vegetables,  and  all  of  them  prize  winning 
stock,  no  wonder  the  19'-20  Show  was  a  record!

"NOTHING  SUCCEEDS  LIKE  SUCCESS" 

Attention:  Department  Reporters 
The  Kodak  Magazine  has  established  a  reputation 
in  the  industrial  world,  and  we  are  proud  to   know 
that  it  is  onrs.  and  that  each  article  and  "squib"  is 
contributed  by  an  employee. 

The  idea  of  department  reporters  is  another  phase 
of  democratic  management,  as  far  as  it  tends  to 
give  expression  to  the  individual  man  or  woman 
who.  in  big  business,  would  be  otherwise  merged 
into  a  one-man  opinion. 

For  the  benefit  of  employees  having   interesting 
items  or  articles  for  publication,  a  list  of  reporters 
is  appended.     Get  in  touch  with  the  one  on  your 
level,  or  else  send  your  contribution  direct  to  the

"KNOWLEDGE  IS  POWER" 

We  are  fortunate  in  having  so  many  opportunities 
in  this  city  for  self-advancement,  through  the 
medium  of  education  as  given  in  Evening  Scliools. 
The  Mechanics  Institute  is  widely  famous  for  its 
extended  curriculum,  and  it  is  j)articularly  noted 
for  classes  in  Mechanical  Drawing  and  Machine 
Shop  Practice.  Last  year  G'2  Camera  Workers 
enrolled  at  the  Mechanics  school,  and  most  of  those 
who  really  tried,  and  attended  punctually,  gained 
their  diplomas.  This  coming  season  should  be  a 
record  l)y  way  of  enrollment,  and  you  are  urged  to 
give  your  immediate  attention  to  this  matter,  as  the 
accommodation  for  evening  students  is  limited. 

The  Public  Schools  offer  a  varied  list  of  studies, 
and  full  information  can  be  obtained  in  the  Indus- 
trial Relations  Department  on  any  matter  pertain- 
ing to  education  for  men  or  women. 

The  fees  range  from  "gratis"  to  twenty  dollars, 
but  the  knowledge  gained  is  of  inestimable  value. 
The  fallacy  of  a  man  or  woman  "having  a  drag"  has 
long  been  exploded,  and,  to  succeed,  it  is  vital  that 
we  must  have  knowledge.  No  truer  phrase  has 
ever  been  coined  than  "knowledge  is  power,"  and 
the  long  winter  evenings  can  be  made  a  splendid 
investment  by  attending  school. 


In  last  month's  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine  we 
missed  "Bob"  Weber's  famous  slogan  of  "Watch 
the  Kodak  Park  team  win  the  Baseball  Pennant." 
We  suggest  that  Bob  consult  an  Ouija  Board  before 
coining  any  more  "prophecies." 


AX  EXCITING  CONTEST 
If  the  Managers  of  the  big  Leagues  missed  attend- 
ing the  baseball  game  between  the  Kodak  Assem- 
blies and  the  Brownies,  they  are  "out  of  luck"  for 
first-class  new  material.  According  to  veterans  of 
the  game,  a  finer  match  was  never  played,  and 
judging  by  the  score,  both  sides  were  balanced  to  a 
hair — until  the  ninth  inning.  The  game  was  fought 
at  Bausch  &  Lomb  Athletic  Field,  the  line-up  being 
as  follows: 

Kodaks  Brownies 

F.Kline P J.  Rutan 

B.  Clark C C.  FreudenvoU 

H.  Verstrung 1st  B W.  Powell 

F.  Gordon 'ind  B W.  Ring 

H.  McKague ;}rd  B D.  La  Palm 

W.  Sharkey S.S W.  Korhumel 

K.  Naramore C B.  Ford 

F.  Dugan L.F J.  Mevers 

R.  Bach R.F W.  Rice 

The  excitement  was  great,  there  being  a  crowd 
of  Tooters  numbering  seven  hundred  and  fifty. 

There  was  no  score  until  the  ninth  inning,  when 
McKague  scored  a  three  bagger,  and  then  the  grand- 
stand threatened  to  give  way  under  the  wild 
tumult  of  the  Kodaks.  Their  ardor,  however,  was 
dampened  by  the  Brownies,  who,  scoring  a  run  in 
the  last  half  of  the  ninth,  won  the  game  bv  a  margin 
of  1-0.

THE  REWARD  OF  CO-OPERATIOX 

CAMERA   WORKS    ONCE    AGAIN    THE 

WINNER 

For  the  third  consecutive  year  the  Employees 
Gardening  Association  has  won  the  challenge  cup 
in  the  Industrial  Competition  at  the  Rochester 
Exposition.  This  splendid  line  of  successes  points 
to  the  fact  that  the  individual  members  of  the 
Association  take  a  personal  interest  in  maintaining 
the  Camera  Works  reputation  of  "doing  things 
right!" 

The  challenge  cup  is  in  open  competition.  Any 
Industrial  Garden  Club  in  Monroe  County  is 
eligible  to  enter  their  exhibit,  and  those  concerns 
which  enter  the  race  try  hard  for  the  honors.  It  is 
by  no  means  an  easy  contest  to  win,  for  not  only 
must  there  be  perfect  quality,  but  there  must  also 
be  as  much  A-ariety  as  possible.  When  we  boast  of 
twenty-six  named  varieties  of  tomatoes  alone,  folks 
begin  to  realize  that  we  have  to  be  "Johnnie  on  the 
spot"  to  get  one  hundred  per  cent.  Three  expert 
judges — supplied  by  the  Committee  of  Agriculture 
— minutely  inspected  the  exhibits,  and  after  an 
almost  all  day  session  finally  tagged  the  coveted 
blue  ticket  on  our  display. 

There  were  eight  Garden  Clubs  competing  this 
year  for  the  magnificent  cup  donated  by  Mr.  Delos 
Wray,  and  all  of  them  were  good  ones.  The  follow- 
ing firms  were  represented: 

Hawk-Eye  Works.  E.  K.  Co. 

Camera  Works,  E.  K.  Co. 

Vacuum  Oil  Co. 

National  Brass  Co. 

American  Woodworking  Machine  Co. 

Art-In-Buttons.  Inc. 

Bausch  &  Lomb  Optical  Co. 

General  Railway  Signal  Co. 
After  the  exhibit  was  clo.sed  at  the  Camera  Works 
the  choicest  specimens  were  carefully  preserved 
for  the  Exposition.  Almost  everyone's  vegetables 
entered  for  the  exhibit  went  to  make  up  the  Exposi- 
tion display.  One  beet  from  this  entry,  and  one  from 
that  entry,  etc.  Therefore,  you  can  see  that  when 
the  trophy  is  quoted  as  belonging  to  the  Camera 
Works  it  really  belongs  to  the  Association.  in(li\idu- 
ally  and  collectively. 

Several  members  brought  specimens  ti)  the  (\)ni- 
mittee  as  gifts  and  did  not  enter  them  in  competi- 
tion. To  these  men  all  of  us  are  indebted  for  their 
thoughtful  service.  We  might  mention  several 
names  such  as  Horace  Blackwell.  who  brought  us 
Brussels  Sprouts  and  red  cabbage.  James  Noble  for 
his  collection  of  squash  and  pumpkins.  Joseph  Izzo 
for  his  varied  specimens  of  dried  beans,  Leon  Morey 
for  his  lettuce,  Fred  Brehm  for  his  tomatoes,  etc. 
All  this  proves  that  although  individually  we  can 
not  get  very  far  ahead  in  big  competition,  yet 
collectively  we  can  carry  away  the  tropiiy,  and 
really  deserve  first  prize  because  of  our  co-operative 
spirit. 

Did  you  ever  hear  the  story  of  the  black  and 
brown  sock.^  Well,  it's  a  sad  one,  and  it  liappened 
in  the  dark,  and  on  "blue"  Monday  at  that!  We 
always  considered  Dick  Jennings  a  perfect  model  of 
Safety,  but  he  even  risks  dressing  witiiout  a  light, 
and,  not  practicing  Safety  First,  he  lost  out!  Any 
way,  now  we  know  that  Dick  wears  tan  shoes  on 
Sunday,  and  has  at  least  one  tan  sock  to  match!

ByZ. 

Some 

Time  ago,  a 

AVell-meaning  (?)  but 

Rather  misguided  gentleman 

Advocated  that  when  folks

We  hasten 

To  disagree 

In 

This  case. 

As  some  of  the

Have  become  very  old,  but 

Are  just  as  useful 

As  ever. 

While

Just  notice  what  the

He  is 

Noted  for  his

His  production. 

He  realizes 

That 

The  drone 

Not  only  is  a  nuisance 

To  himself,  but 

Also  a  hindrance 

To  the  others. 

So  he  ups 

And  steps

His  hind  feet.

OBITLARY 

We  have  lost  a  very  familiar  figure  in  Arthur 
Little,  who  passed  away  last  month.  He  started 
at  the  Camera  Works  just  twenty-three  years  ago, 
and  has  seen  the  comjjany  grow  up  from  infancy. 
The  company  and  employees  extend  sincere  sym- 
pathy to  the  widow  and  relatives. 

We  regret  to  announce  the  sudden  death  of 
Florence  Kohler,  who  passed  away  in  the  City 
Hospital  on  Scptemlier  3rd.  Florence  has  worked 
in  the  Crease  antl  Cover  Department  for  two  years, 
and  her  many  friends  extend  their  sympathy 

The  sudden  death  of  John  Franc  came  as  a  shock 
to  his  fellow  workmen.  John  had  been  ill  and 
depressed  for  a  long  time.  His  record  of  twenty- 
four  years  is  an  admirable  one,  and  we  shall  miss 
John  from  the  group  of  old  employees.  Sincere 
expressions  of  sympathy  are  extended  to  his  family.

-iHUTTER  DEPARTMENT  PICNIC  AT  ISLAND  COTTAGE 


This  picnic  is  almost  comparative  to  "The  last 
rose  of  summer,"  but  its  lateness  did  not  prevent  its 
success.  One  hundred  and  five  Shutter  Room 
Employees  journeyed  down  to  Island  Cottage  on 
Saturday,  September  11,  and  a  well-served  chicken 
dinner  was  the  reward.  The  rain  managed  to  hide 
until  after  the  ball  game  between  the  married  and 
single  men,  but  the  ambitious  sports  program  had 
to  be  changed  from  outdoor  contests  to  inside 
amusements.  The  dance  hall  was  commandeered 
for  the  purpose,  and  lots  of  fun  was  caused  by  shoe 
races,  peanut  races,  etc.  In  the  evening  a  dance  was 
held  and  a  three-piece  orchestra  rendered  appropri- 
ate music.  Elmer  Ritz  was  Chairman,  and  the 
whole  crowd  voted  the  picnic  as  a  complete  success. 


The  Camera  Works  almost  looks  as  if  it  runs  a 
matrimonial  bureau.  There  are  quite  a  number 
of  our  boys  anfl  girls  who  tie  the  nuptial  knot. 
Anna  Batte,  of  the  Stock  Record  Department, 
married  Ed.  De  Fraine,  of  the  Etched  Plate  Depart- 
ment. Anna  has  left  us  but  we  still  retain  Ed.,  and 
we  wish  them  all  kinds  of  future  happiness.  Flora 
Thorne,  of  the  Milling  and  Assembling  Depart- 
ment, married  Elmer  Stubbs,  of  the  Woodworking 
Deijartment.    Sincere  good  wishes  from  us  all. 


Two  more  weddings  from  the  Bellows  Depart- 
ment. Mary  Flaig  to  George  Oulac,  Cecil  Usdane 
to  Jack  Carter.    Splendid !    All  kinds  of  good  wishes. 


We  congratulate  Minnie  Minkau,  of  the  Bellows 
Department,  on  the  completion  of  her  twenty  years 
of  good  and  faithful  service.  We  tried  to  get  a 
photograph  of  Minnie,  but  failed.  Anyhow,  every- 
one knows  her  and  we  all  hope  that  we  shall  see  her 
for  many  more  years. 


Thirteen  girls  of  the  Bellows  Department  held  a 
sausage  and  corn  roast  at  Bay  View.  Evidently 
thirteen  is  not  an  unlucky  number  as  it  is  supposed 
to  be,  for  the  girls  had  a  grand  and  glorious  time. 


Monica  Gartland — Detail  and  Estimate  Depart- 
ment— has  changed  her  name  to  Mrs.  Crissy.  She 
has  been  with  us  so  long  that  if  we  still  call  her 
Monica  she  mustn't  mind.    Congratulations! 


almost  as  happy  as  they  are.  The  news  leaked  out 
that  they  were  to  be  married  on  September  i21st,  at 
the  Holy  Redeemer  Church.  All  the  boys  and  girls 
working  with  them  wish  them  a  long  and  happy  life. 

William  Radtke  is  the  proud  father  of  an  eleven 
pound  boy — Donald — born  on  Labor  Day. 


Mable  Wessley — an  Assembler  in  the  Shutter 
room — was  united  in  marriage  to  John  McKekney 
on  September  1st  at  the  rectory  of  the  Sacred  Heart 
Church.     Best  Wishes,  Mable. 


The  second  floor  takes  pleasure  in  annoucing  the 
engagement  of  Helen  Sullivan  to  William  Schwartz, 
of  this  city. 


Everyone  has  noticed  the  smile  on  the  counten- 
ance of  David  Hughey  of  the  Woodworking  Depart- 
ment. The  solution  is  not  hard  to  find  when  we 
look  at  the  picture  of  David  and  Belle  Gray  who 
were  married  on  September  18.  They  spent  their 
honeymoon  at  Lake  Champlain. 


Everyone   in   the   Shutter   room   knows   Minnie 
Richter  and  Walter  Marcille,  and  their  friends  are

After  passing  through  a  very  disastrous  season  of 
baseball,  members  of  the  Folmer-Century  Athletic 
Association  have  turned  their  thoughts  to  bowling. 
Starting  last  season  with  the  first  eight-team 
Bowling  League  that  had  ever  been  undertaken  and 
carrying  it  through  to  a  very  successful  finish,  mem- 
bers of  the  Folmer-Century  Works  Athletic  Associa- 
tion met  on  Tuesday  evening,  September  7,  1920,  and 
organized  another  Bowling  League  for  the  coming 
season.  William  Melvin,  who  has  captained  the 
team  for  the  past  few  seasons  in  the  Camera  Bowling 
League,  was  elected  President  and  C.  H.  Harper 
Secretary  and  Treasurer. 

The  opening  night  is  October  20,  lO^O,  at 
the  Grand  Central  Alleys,  and  a  large  turn-out  of 
members  of  the  Association  and  plant  officials  will  be 
on  hand  to  give  the  League  a  good  start  for  the 
coming  season. 


Ernest  Vuillier  of  the  E.vperimental  Department 
left  the  Folmer-Century  Works,  September  -I,  l9-2(). 
for  Victoria,  Texas,  where  he  will  engage  in  the 
automobile  business.  His  many  friends  wish  him 
much  success  in  his  new  undertaking. 


We  are  glad  to  learn  that  Annabelle  Kane  of  the 
Purchasing  Department  who  has  been  on  the  sick 
list  for  some  time  is  recovering. 

And  the  whole  idea  of  prevention  of  accidents 
is  each  one's  regard  for  SAFETY — and  the  thought 
to  warn  others  of  danger.  Better  hurt  a  fellow's 
feelings  and  keep  him  well  and  strong,  than  to  chip 
in  a  quarter  for  his  poor  mother  or  wife  and  kiddies 
after  he  is  killed. 

Talk  and  think  Safety  at  work  and  at  home. 


Harold  E.  Dunning  of  the  Wood  Machine  Depart- 
ment was  married  September  8,  1920,  to  Edith  M. 
Dutton.    Congratulations. 

John  Sgambaty  of  the  Tool  Department  was 
married  September  1.  1920.  to  Mary  J.  Passroe. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Sgambaty  have  left  for  a  two  weeks' 
trip  to  New  York,  Philadelphia,  and  Washington. 

We  don't  want  careless  men  around  our  plant — 
no,  siree;  a  careless  man  endangers  the  life  of 
evervone  in  his  vicinity.

The  Folmer-Century  Works  Annual  Picnic  which 
was  held  Saturday,  August  '28.  IQ'ZO.  at  Sea  Breeze, 
"was  a  hummer  from  the  start  to  the  finish  in  spite 
of  the  threatening  weather.  From  the  time  our 
happy  and  jovial  bunch  left  the  plant  accompanied 
by  Hebing's  Band  till  the  last  one  left  for  home  at 
night  there  was  one  continuous  round  of  entertain- 
ment. 

Upon  arrival  at  the  grounds  we  made  our  way  to 
the  Pavilion  where  we  disposed  of  the  "eats."  Im- 
mediately after  the  repast  the  band  led  to  the  ball 
grounds  where  one  of  the  big  events  of  the  day  was 
staged,  a  nine  inning  game  between  married  and 


single  men.     After  a  hard  fight  the  married  men 
lost  to  the  tune  of  10  to  7. 

Upon  returning  from  the  ball  groimds  we  were 
all  lined  up  for  the  Cirkuts  and  Graflexes  and  had 
our  pictures  taken,  which  of  course  made  us  "look 
pleasant." 

After  this  races  were  run  ofi'  and  in  the  evening 
dancing  was  enjoyed  by  all.  The  following  were 
the  prize  winners :

OUTDOOR-IXDOOR  BASEBALL 

With  the  grand  finale  of  the  regular  Eastman 
Kodak  League  in  sight,  Hawk-Eye  Athletic  Associa- 
tion officials  are  planning  an  extension  of  the  ball 
season  by  the  foundation  of  two  leagues  of  four 
teams  each.  These  teams  play  the  outdoor 
game  with  the  regulation  indoor  baseball.  Last 
year  in  scrub  games  much  pleasure  was  afforded 
the  boys  who  participated  in  the  sport,  so  that  the 
introduction  of  league  games  should  further 
Hawk-Eye  Athletic  Association  spirit  and  create 
inter-department  rivalry. 

A  nine-game  schedule  for  each  team  has  been 
arranged,  and  with  its  completion  the  winners  in 
each  league  will  meet  in  a  "world  series'"  of  best 
two  out  of  three  games  for  the  Hawk-Eye  Athletic 
Association  Championshij). 

The  teams  with  their  respective  managers  making 
up  the  leagues  are  as  follows:

come  out  in  force;  if  you  cannot  play,  you  can  cheer 
for  your  own  particular  team.

EMPLOYEES  LONGEST  IX  SERVICE 

Mr.  Rearson  was  the  first  employee  hired  by 
Mr.  T.  H.  Blair  at  Boston  when  the  Blair  Camera 
Company  started.  Previous  to  the  forming  of  the 
Company,  Mr.  Blair  had  cameras  made  by  different 
concerns,  one  of  them  being  the  wood  working  sliop 
of  Mr.  Rearson.  Mr.  Rearson  had  completed  a  lot 
of  cameras  for  Mr.  Blair  when  the  factory  was 
destroyed  by  fire.  Shortly  after  this  Mr.  Blair 
decided  to  form  a  company  to  manufacture  cameras, 
and  thus  in  188'-2  the  Blair  Camera  Company  came 
into  existence.  Mr.  Rear.son  equipped  the  factory 
with  the  necessary  machinery  and  turned  out  the 
first  camera  for  Mr.  Blair.  John  Dineen  was  the 
second  person  employed.  James  Watts  joined  the 
organization  in  189.5.  The  Eastman  Kodak  Com- 
pany acquired  the  Blair  Camera  Company  in  April, 
1899,  and  moved  the  plant  to  Rochester.

Foreman  Brass  Department — Twenty-one  years  Service 

The  call  for  greater  production  has  caused  several 
changes  in  the  Plating  Department  during  the 
past  few  weeks.  Two  new  nickel  plating  tanks, 
three  cleaning  kettles,  a  large  drying  oven,  and  a 
new  motor  and  generator  set  have  been  installed. 

Well,  now  that  we've  seen  what  the  Hawk-Eye 
Girls  can  do,  we  can  hardly  wait  until  next  year. 
The  girls  themselves  were  wishing  some  Florida 
weather  could  be  sent  up  to  Ole  Xoo  York  for  use 
during  the  next  six  months,  if  it  were  not  for  the 
fun  they're  going  to  have  this  winter  in  basket- 
ball at  the  clul),  and  some  other  stunts  not  yet 
fully  phuined. 

Leave  it  to  them  for  pure,  unadulterated  pep, 
winter  or  sununer. 

The  seed  of  girls  baseball  enthusiasm  was  planted 
early  and  results  eagerly  looked  forw.-ird  to  Ity  Hill 
Schiegel,  father  of  Hawk-Eye  (lirls  IJaseliali,  for 
quite  some  time.  Finally  green  sprouts  began  to 
appear  all  over  the  field  and  with  great  joy  Bill 
went  to  work  to  train  them  in  the  rigid  direction. 
for  future  use.  He  cultivated  and  smootlied,  dug 
up  and  replanted.  Often  lie  feared  for  the  survival 
of  the  fruits  of  his  lal)ors.  Hiil  "patience  and 
perseverance  will  move  mountains'"  and  in  tiiis  case 
it  turned  out  a  team  of  girls  as  fine  ;ind  s|)()rlsriian- 
like  as  can  l)e  found,  wholly  wortli  tlic  admii-ation 
shown  by  the  Hawk-Eye  people  and  the  interested 
crowds  that  gathered  to  see  the  games. 

So,  wishing  them  all  the  good  luck  in  the  world, 
we  bid  a  reluctant  farewell  to  tlieir  first  liasebali 
season,  and  urge  them  to  accept  our  good  wishes 
and  support  when  they  again  appear  on  the  field. 


Three  Hawk-Eytes  were  graduated  from  No.  5 
School,  August  Class  in  Civics,  and  received 
certificates  of  qualification  for  their  final  citizenship 
papers.  They  were  Mr.  Larter  of  the  Anastigmat 
Lens  Uepartment,  Mr.  ("asper  of  the  Instrument 
Department,  and  Mr.  Patsey  Palleschi,  of  the 
Glass  Moulding  Department.  A  cordial  invitation 
is  extended  to  other  eligible  employees  to  follow 
tlieir  example. 


A  night  shift  has  been  put  on  in  the  Glass  Mould- 
ing Department  until  more  machines  can  be  installed 
for  this  growing  department.  The  night  shift  is 
in  charge  of  Ernest  Robbins,  and  consists  of  Wayne 
Mead,  Charles  Dubelbeiss,  James  Wittman  and 
Harold  Foote. 


The  emplojees  of  the  Hawk-Eye  Works  wish  to 
extend  their  sympathy  to  Peter  Brasser  of  the 
Assembling  Department,  to  Albert  Winslow  of  the 
Wood  Department  and  to  Ralph  Hackett  of  the 
Stock  Department.  Mr.  Brasser  lost  his  wife, 
while  Mr.  Hackett  and  Mr.  Winslow  each  lost  a  son 
during  the  month  of  .\ugust. 


The  Girls  Baseball  team  wishes  to  take  this 
occasion  to  thank  Mr.  and  Mrs.  "Bill"  Schiegel 
for  the  wt)nderful  spread  tendered  them  as  a 
windup  to  the  baseball  season.  They  are  firmly 
convinced  that  the  team  will  never  break  up  now, 
and  that  "Bill"  will  have  to  supply  another  feed 
sometime  in  the  years  to  come  if  he  wishes  them 
to  consider  any  suggestion  of  his  regarding  the 
breaking  up  of  the  girls'  team  which  he  moulded 
together    into    such    a    smooth    working    machine.

Hawk-Eye  is  to  have  a  Soccer  team — the  best 
team  ever  put  into  the  field.  An  enthusiastic  lot  of 
players  are  out  practicing  twice  a  week  in  prepara- 
tion for  a  strenuous  season.  Goal  posts  are  to  be 
set  up  at  once  and  the  Hawk-Eye  Athletic  Associa- 
tion has  promised  to  have  jerseys  ready  in  a  short 
time. 

"Mac"  Harding  has  been  elected  Captain  and 
George  Ansell  is  to  manage  the  team.  Plans  are 
under  way  to  have  the  team  entered  in  the  Rochester 
District  Soccer  League  and  to  compete  with  other 
Kodak  teams.  Watch  this  latest  addition  to  the

GIRLS'  BASEBALL  TEAM  LOSES  SERIES 
TO  "ALL  STARS' 

Before  a  crowd  of  5,000  people  the  Girls'  All 
Star  Baseball  Team,  composed  of  some  of  the  best 
talent  in  the  city,  defeated  our  team  by  the  score 
of  10  to  3.  Again  later,  in  the  second  encomiter 
our  girls  lost  to  this  same  team  by  the  score  of 
16  to  5. 

The  result  of  our  games  with  the  faster  teams  in 
the  city  has  in  no  way  disheartened  our  players  or 
fans. 

Girls"  Basel)all  at  Kodak  Park  is  something  new, 
and  the  results  which  have  been  obtained  through 
the  efforts  extended  by  the  girls  participating, 
"Pete"  Manhold,  James  Ward  and  the  others  who 
have  assisted,  are  very  gratifying. 

The  playing  of  each  member  is  worthy  of  praise, 
particularly  that  of  Laura  Dul)y,  who  has  proven 
to  be  a  pitcher  of  much  ability. 

This  sport  has  gained  a  firm  foothold  in  industrial 
athletics,  and  another  season  great  things  may  be 
expected. 

The  results  of  the  games  played  up  to  September 
1st  areas  follows:

Here's  a  striking  example  of  what  a  little  bit  of 
carelessness  may  do  to  a  man.  The  living  example 
is  blind  now  and  sells  shoe  strings  on  the  main  street 
in  one  of  our  busy  cities.  He  used  to  be  an  expert 
machinist.  He  lost  both  eyes  because  he  was 
careless  and  failed  to  use  his  goggles  on  an  operation 
that  required  these  eye  protectors.  He  has  three 
children  who  have  to  work  and  neglect  their  educa- 
tion because  he  can't  support  them.  In  this  man's 
dark  life  don't  you  think  the  darkest  thing  is  the 
thought  that  the  loss  of  his  eyes  was  unnecessary 
and  no  one  is  to  blame  but  himself.^  How  would 
you  like  to  be  in  his  place  feeling  your  way  through 
the  mazes  of  life  with  a  cane  or  having  someone  to 
lead  you  about  from  place  to  place?

SUMMER  SEASON'  IX  XOOX  HOUR  LEAGUE 
A  HUMMER 

The  summer  season  in  the  Xoon  Hour  Baseball 
League,  just  finished,  was  the  most  closely  con- 
tested race  we  have  ever  had.  Four  teams  picked 
from  the  cream  of  the  spring  league  played  such 
exceptional  baseball  that  when  the  last  game  of  the 
schedule  had  been  played,  the  Legion,  Colts  and 
Outlaws  were  in  a  triple  tie  for  first  place,  each 
team  having  won  6  games  and  lost  3.  The  Crabs 
had  evidently  had  all  the  hard  luck  during  the 
season,  they  having  lost  every  game  played.  After 
playing  another  round,  these  3  teams  were  still 
tied  on  September  '■2nd,  each  having  won  7  and  lost 
4  games.  Lots  were  then  drawn  for  the  first  play 
off,  the  Outlaws  and  Colts  playing  the  first  game 
which  resulted  in  a  victory  for  the  Colts  by  the 
score  of  6  to  3.  Following  this  game  the  Legion 
team  was  defeated,  5  to  3,  leaving  the  Colts  the 
undisputed  champions. 

The  opening  game  of  the  Fall  series  was  played 
on  Wednesday,  September  8th,  by  the  Hustlers  and 
the  Cubs. 

Following  is  a  schedule  for  the  final  series  of  the 
year. 

October  1st Colts  vs  Bandits 

October  4th Hustlers    vs  Legion 

October  5th Cubs  vs  Bandits

October  1.5th Hustlers    vs  Bandits 

October  18tli Legion       vs  Colts 

October  19th Cubs  vs  Outlaws 

FIRST  CALL  FOR  CAXDIDATES 

With  the  first  tinge  of  fall  in  the  air,  our  thoughts 
naturally  turn  to  the  "king"  of  winter  sports — 
basketl)all 


Kodak  Park  has  always  been  represented  on  the 
court  by  one  of  the  leading  teams  in  this  vicinity 
it  having  been  the  policy  to  give  our  followers  an 
opportvniity  to  .see  the  better  teams  in  action.  This 
plan  will  again  be  followed  out  during  the  season  of 
19-20  and  19-21.  negotiations  already  being  underway 
for  games  with  a  numlier  of  first  class  teams. 

The  team  this  year  will  be  coached  by  Herbert 
"Rip"  Benzoni.  The  success  which  he  had  in 
handling  the  team  a  few  years  past  guarantees  a  fast 
aggregation  with  the  abilitv  to  play  good  basket- 
ball. 

The  first  practice  will  be  called  sometime  this 
month,  the  exact  date  to  be  designated  later. 

It  is  planned  to  have,  not  only  Kodak  Park,  but 
the  other  Eastman  branches  in  the  city  represented 
on  the  team  this  season,  and  an  invitation  is 
extended  to  players  in  any  of  the  plants  to  report 
for  practice,  and  an  opportunity  will  be  given  them 
to  play. 

With  such  men  available  as  Wilbur  Woodams, 
of  the  Hawk-Eye  Works,  George  Willis,  of  Kodak 
Park,  and  many  others,  our  pro.spects  for  a  city 
championship  seem  very  briglit. 

CORRECTIXG  A  MISUXDERSTAXDIXG 

The  "Hospital  Happiness"  movement  inaugurated 
in  the  city  in  August  has  apparently  come  in  for 
some  undeserved  criticisms. 

The  Kodak  Park  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Community  Chest  investigated  and  found  that 
while  the  project  was  in  every  way  worthy  of 
support,  no  provision  had  been  made  in  the  Com- 
munity Chest  budget  for  work  of  this  nature. 

In  consequence  it  was  agreed  that  no  personal 
solicitation  should  be  made,  and  that  contributions 
to  support  the  project  should  be  purely  voluntary. 

The  "Hospital  Happiness"  cause  is  a  most  worthy 
one,  but  please  understand  that  its  promoters  do 
not  desire  contributions  except  from  those  perfectly 
willing  to  aid  in  this  work.

COMPLETES  30th  YEAR  OF  SERVICE 

H.  E.  Van  Hoesen  has  been  in  the  employ 
of  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company  for  30  years, 
beginning  at  State  Street  on  Septemlier  VZ,  1890. 
In  August,  1894,  he  began  work  at  Kodak  Park, 
wliere  he  coated,  by  hand,  all  the  plates  that  were 
sold  by  the  company.

For  'id  years  "Nan"  has  been  working  in  the 
Plate  Department  where  he  is  held  high  in  the 
esteem  of  his  fellow  employees,  as  he  has  a  kind 
word  and  smile  for  all.  We  wish  to  congratulate 
Mr.  Van  Hoesen  on  his  long  period  of  faithful 
service  with  the  company. 


PAY  ROLL  BOYS  HOLD  ROAST 

On  Tuesday  evening,  August  31st,  the  men  of  the 
Pay  Roll  Department,  Building  No.  '26,  held  a  sau- 
sage and  corn  roast  at  "Herb"  Shaw's  place  on 
Irondequoit  Bay.  Everybody  had  a  ripping  time 
and,  for  once,  the  "too  many  cooks"  adage  didn't 
hold  good,  which  no  doubt  accounted  for  our 
ravenous  ai)petites — you  know,  everyone  having 
had  a  hand  in  the  pie  none  had  an  excuse  to  pass  it 
up!  The  special  feature  on  the  j)rogram  was  a  prom- 
ised sail  ill  "Herbs"  boat,  but  the  br<H'z<'  failed  long 
before  Thomson  speared  the  last  sausage.  Never- 
theless we  couldn't  eutin'ly  escaj)e  some  excitement, 
for  a  certain  car  hailing  from  Spencerj)ort  was  in 
the  jjarty,  and  refused  to  climl)  the  "liirds  and 
Worms"  hill  on  the  way  home,  and  it  recjuired  the 
imited  efforts  of  the  whole  crowd  to  push  the 
recalcitrant  "gas  i)Uggy"  up  to  level  ground,  where 
its  "iiuiers"  again  fuiu'tioned  normally  and  the 
party  sped  homeward.  We  are  sure  that  tin- 
evening  will  always  remain  a  pleasant  remembrance. 


Genevieve  Shirley,  of  the  Film  Rewinding  Depart-

both,  from  their  frienfls. 


On  Wednesday  evening,  September  8th,  the 
nienil)ers  of  the  Industrial  Economy  Department 
.spent  a  pleasant  evening  at  the  home  of  Walter 
Metcalf,  Magee  Avenue,  in  honor  of  P.  H.  Case. 
The  bunch  started  in  at  once  to  tell  "P.  H."  what 
he  did  not  know  about  married  life.  They  also  put 
him  through  some  stunts  that  will  long  be  remem- 
bered, ('heer  up  Percy,  it  only  comes  once  in  a  life-

Britton  Road,  Greece.  Dancing  and  games  followed 
which  were  enjoyed  by  all. 


Why  is  it  that  some  employees  are  "laying  off '"

acquainted  with  your  work  and  get  it  fi.xed  in  your 
mind  that  you  are  a  jjart  of  the  organization.  Think 
it  over.

ARTHUR  T.  "JERRY"  WELLES 

"Jerry"  Welles,  Safety  Engineer  and  Manager 
of  Sports  of  the  Kodak  Park  Athletic  Association, 
first  saw  the  light  of  day  in  Hartford,  Connecticut. 
After  passing  tlirough  the  usual  eventful  period  of 
youth  he  entered  Yale  University  where  he  was 
prominent    in   athletics,    particularly   track   work. 


Tag!  you're  it.  If  you  do  not  obey  the  new 
traffic  regulations,  you  are  sure  to  find  one  of  the 
green  tags  on  your  steering  wheel  and  then  a  trip  to 
Exchange  Street.  Obey  the  laws  and  help  to  make 
them  effective. 


■JERRY" 


"Jerry"  first  came  to  Kodak  Park  on  July  8,  1901, 
as  assistant  superintendent  of  the  Emulsion  Coating 
Department.  Later  on  he  was  placed  in  charge  of 
the  Industrial  Laboratory,  going  from  there  to  the 
Electroplating  Department  now  known  as  the  Roll 
Coating  Finishing.  Some  time  later  he  was  placed 
in  charge  of  the  estimating  for  the  E.  &  M.  Depart- 
ment, which  position  he  held  when  called  into  service 
on  the  Mexican  border  with  Troop  H  in  June,  1916. 
He  returned  to  the  Park,  in  March,  1917,  and  was 
again  called  out  on  July  loth  of  the  same  year,  to 
participate  in  the  World's  W^ar,  going  to  Brooklyn, 
from  which  place  he  was  later  sent  to  the  camp  at 
Spartanburg,  South  Carolina.  He  left  for  overseas 
on  June  30th,  1918,  as  Lieutenant  in  charge  of 
Service  Park  Units  402  and  367,  and  later  partici- 
pated in  the  Somme  offensive,  being  discharged  in 
August  1919.  He  again  returned  to  Kodak  Park, 
assuming  the  position  of  Safety  Engineer  and 
Manager  of  Sports  of  the  K.  P.  A.  A. 

Mr.  Welles  has  given  much  serious  consideration 
to  the  safety  first  movement  at  Kodak  Park.  In  a 
recent  statement  he  explained  that  the  maximum 
results  cannot  be  obtained  without  the  earnest  and 
whole-hearted  co-operation  of  the  employees,  in 
whose  interest  he  is  vitally  concerned,  and  wishes 
to  take  this  opportunity  of  requesting  everyone  to 
be  on  the  lookout  for  conditions  which  can  be 
improved.  Dangerous  places,  hazards  of  one  kind 
or  another,  the  need  of  guards  where  not  already 
installed,  should  be  brought  to  his  attention.  It 
will  be  appreciated  by  him,  and  you  will  have  the 
satisfaction  of  knowing  that  you  are  taking  some 
part  in  the  universal  movement  to  protect  yourself 
and  your  fellow  workmen. 


SOCCER  TEAM  IN  SHAPE  FOR 
HARD  SEASON 

On  August  '28th,  Kodak  Park  Soccer  Team  played 
the  first  game  of  its  Fall  schedule  when  they  met 
the  Rochester  City  Moose  in  what  was  considered 
the  best  exhibition  of  Soccer  Football  seen  in 
Rochester  for  some  time. 

Two  new  players,  Clegg  and  Pears,  have  been 
added  to  the  team.  Both  of  these  men  have 
demonstrated  that  they  are  capable  of  playing 
against  the  best  Rochester  talent. 

The  first  game  of  the  R.  &  D.  series  was  played 
on  September  Hth,  against  the  Camera  Works 
team. 

An  effort  is  being  made  to  secure  suitable  groimd 
somewhere  in  the  vicinity  of  Kodak  Park,  and 
indications  are  quite  encouraging. 


BOWLERS  ORGANIZE

afternoon  leagues,  composed  of  members  of  the

Jii.st  because  the  K.  O.  R.  C.  Picnic  lias  passed  into 
history,  don't  believe  for  one  minute  that  the  activi- 
ties of  the  club  are  going  to  slack  up.  Something  in 
which  you  are  interested  will  be  going  on  during 
the  fall  and  winter  months. 

Glenn  Morrow,  Athletic  Chairman,  reports  that 
there  will  be  something  stirring  in  the  athletic  line, 
bowling,  basketball,  skating,  snowshoeing,  or  any 
other  form  of  activity  in  which  a  sufficient  number 
of  members  are  interested. 

We  haven't  forgotten  the  members  who  find 
pleasure  in  tripping  the  light  fantastic.  Arrange- 
ments have  already  been  made  for  a  series  of  dances. 
They  will  be  held  at  the  Masonic  Hall. 

There  will  be  jazz  unsurpassed  and  you  all  know 
that  there  is  no  better  crowd  for  a  rousing  good 
time  than  the  K.  O.  R.  C.  Let's  have  every  member 
out  for  the  first  dance. 

If  you  are  interested  in  dancing,  keep  your  eyes  on 
the  Bulletin  Boards  for  a  notice  of  the  first  dance — 
and— BE   THERE.

Did  you  know  that  way  back  in  '99,  the  first 
telephone  switchboard  in  the  City  of  Rochester 
other  than  the  Telephone  Company's  main  board 
was  installed   liy   the  Eastman  Kodak  Company.^ 

We  had  one  outside  line  and  a  board  with  ten 
extensions,  and  in  order  to  call  outside,  it  was 
necessary  to  go  to  the  booth.  Today  with  over  two 
hundred  and  seventy  phones,  more  than  four 
thousand  calls  are  handled  each  day.  This  in-

W.  H. DURFEE 

When  it  conies  to  old  timers  in  the  Kodak  organi- 
zation, \Y.  H.  (Pop)  Durfee  claims  a  seat  in  the 
front  row. 

When  "Pop"  entered  the  organization  April  1, 
1887,  as  a  sort  of  general  all-around  man,  he  was 
adorned  with  the  set  of  whiskers  you  see  in  his 
picture  herewith.  Because  people  constantly  took 
him  for  Beeman.  the  chewing-gum  man,  and  also 
because  some  of  the  irreverent  youths  in  the  factory 
imitated  the  cry  of  a  goat  calling  its  mate  when  he 
passed  hy.  he  soon  removed  them,  and  from  then 
on  took  a  chance  with  his  face  as  you  see  it  at  the 
head  of  this  little  story. 

It  wasn't  long  after  his  arrival  that  the  desire  to 
learn  and  grow  netted  him  results  in  the  way  of  a 
better  job — that  of  coating  bromide  paper  and 
American  film,  on  the  third  floor  of  tlie  old  buihling. 

And  in  the  fall  of  1888,  when  the  manufacture  of 
the  No.  1  Koilak  was  begun,  the  most  capable  and 
dependable  men  were  put  on  the  new  work  and 
■'Pop"  Durfee  was  one  of  them.  At  first,  the  output 
of  the  Kodaks  was  between  five  and  ten  daily,  de- 
livered to  us  in  a  handcart  from  a  small  room  on 
the  corner  of  Furnace  and  State  Streets. 

"Pop"  has  seen  many  changes  and  developments 
during  his  stay  with  the  Company.  Ninety-four 
different  kinds  of  Kodaks  have  been  manufactured 
l>y  the  Company,  and  from  a  tlelivery  of  five  a  day  in 
a  handcart  in  1888,  "Pop"  and  his  assistants  now 
handle  as  many  as  9,100  a  day. 

Then,  too,  the  work  of  thirty  years  ago  was  not 
eight  hours  per  day,  with  Saturday  afternoons  off  or 
anj'thing  of  the  sort.      Many  a  time  Mr.  Durfee 


worked  until  nine  or  ten  o'clock  anrl  often  midnight 
I)lannmg  ahead  or  getting  his  accounts  straight  for 
the  day. 

"Pop"  has  charge  of  the  inspection  of  all  Kodaks 
and  Brownies  that  are  sent  through  the  shipping 
room  to  lovers  of  photography  all  over  the  world. 


HELEN  DURFEE 
Daughter  of  \V.  H.  Durfee,  Testing  and  Packing  Department 

"But  for  all  this,"  Mr.  Durfee  said  recently  when 
speaking  of  his  early  privations,  "I'm  mighty  glad 
I'm  here  today.  I  want  to  thank  my  many  friends 
for  all  they  have  done  for  me.  Also,  I  want  to 
congratulate  everyone  in  the  employ  of  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company  today.  The  future  is  purchased 
by  the  present  and  my  advice  to  all  of  you  is  to 
keep  your  eyes  on  the  job  ahead,  to  prepare  for 
the  big  job  ahead  and  stick  till  it  comes."

A  mysterious  party  took  place  at  Ciel  Devaney's 
cottage  at  Manitou.  The  D.  X.  Club  held  its  first 
annual  picnic  and  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  "mere 
man"  was  left  out  in  the  cold,  the  party  was  a  huge 
success.  Hazel  McLain  sang  a  solo  and  it  is  rumored 
that  Schumann -Heink  is  bringing  suit  for  damages. 
We  don't  know  what  the  others  did,  but  our  own 
Jennie  of  the  15th  made  Irene  Castle  look  like  a 
clog-dancer.  Come  on,  girls,  tell  us  what  D.  X. 
stands  for! 


"Mickey"  otherwise  known  as  Hazel  McLain  has 
deserted  the  15th  Floor  for  foreign  lands,  having

he  caught  them,  he  seems  somewhat  hazy,  but  prom- 
ises us  a  picture  of  a  deer  he  is  going  to  shoot  soon. 


Has  anyone  seen  Ed.  Surrey's  garden.^  They  say 
it's  a  "Beaut,"  and,  judging  from  the  produce 
he  brings  in  some  mornings,  it  naust  be  true. 


Grace  Hallifax  of  the  Billing  Department,  on 
account  of  ill  health,  has  been  granted  leave  of 
absence  and  sailed  for  England  on  the  steamship 
"Imperator,"  September  9th. 


Ernest  Ward,  Frank  Pethick  and  "Ted"  Ogden, 
all  of  the  Billing  Department, have  left  us  to  resume 
their  studies  in  Xew  York,  Cornell,  and  DePauw 
I'niversities,  respectively.    Good  luck,  boys  I 


Ralph  Johnson  and  Jack  Brinkin,  of  the  Service 
Department,  attempted  to  enter  an  ice  cream  parlor 
the  other  day  in  a  Ford  through  the  front  window. 
Prettv  riskv.  bovs — all  for  an  ice  cream  soda.^ 


We  are  glad  to  welcome  John  Holmes  and 
Craig  Cochrane  as  new  attaches  to  the  Indus- 
trial Relations  Department. 


Clayton  Brown,  formerly  of  the  Premo  Stock 
Department,  has  left  the  Company  to  accept  a 
position  as  principal  of  the  Erin  High  School  of 
Pennsvlvania.    We  wish  him  the  best  of  luck. 


Did  you  see  the  September  Suggestion  Bulletin.^ 
Eight  hundred  and  eighty-one  dollars  paid  to 
employees  for  their  ideas.  Did  you  get  your  share.' 
Everyone  has  an  equal  chance.  Suggestions  are 
awarded  according  to  merit.  We  want  your  ideas 
and  are  willing  to  pay  for  them. 


We  are  planning  to  have  a  Main  Office  Baby 
Xumlier  of  the  Kodak  Magazine  in  the  near  future. 
We  already  have  a  number  of  pictures  on  hand. 
\  our  youngest  son  or  daughter  will  want  to  be  among 
the  rest,  so  send  in  a  snapshot  so  that  we  can  get  the 
crowd  lined  up  and  see  who  the  officers  of  E.  K. 
Company  will  be  in  1950.    Do  this  now. 


Recreation  is  not  our  main  pastime  in  Kodak.  The 
fall  months  seem  to  have  instilled  vim  and  vigor 
into  one,  and  a  large  number  have  enrolled  in  the 
evening  classes  of  study  in  the  various  schools.

We're  from  the  Billing,  E.  K.  C. 
Yep,  we  had  one  grand  time  at  our  sausage  and 
corn  roast  on  Saturday,  September  25th.  Perhaps 
some  think  that  the  "eats"  is  everything,  but  then, 
they  have  never  danced  to  the  music  furnished  by 
our  orchestra.  Eph.  Hawes  evidently  wished  to 
test  our  voices  so  he  composed  the  above  "yell"; 
however,  no  one  was  arrested. 


Walter  Capell,  formerly  of  the  Maintenance  De- 
partment, has  returned  f rom  Folnier-Century  Works 
where  he  has  been  learning  the  stock  game,  to  accept

again,  Walt. 


Congratulations  to  Guy  Markham  in  the  Repair

Beatrice  Hugh,  who  has  been  in  the  employ  of 
the  company  for  nine  years,  left  the  Advertising 
Department  on  Saturday  to  accept  a  position  in 
the  Rochester  Savings  Bank.  Before  she  left  the

wishes  go  with  you,  Beatrice. 


The  engagement  of  Olive  Little,  of  the  Finishing 
Department,  and  Walter  Lambe.  of  the  Advertising 
Department  has  been  announced. 


Did  you  all  hear  that  Mrs.  Andrew  W.  Sturock. 
formerly  Miss  Hilda  Coulman.  of  the  Advertising 
Department   is  the  proud  mother  of  a  baby  boy? 


Ray  Oakes  of  the  Shipping  Department  l)elieves 
in  working  fast.  On  Thursday  night  he  quit  to 
work  for  his  brother,  and  on  Saturday  morning  he 
was  back  again  on  the  old  job.  Ray  declares  that 
Kodak  is  a  j)retty  good  place  to  work  after  all. 


We  are  glad  to  see  Martha  Pogue  of  the  Stock 
Department  back,   after  an    illness   of   si.x   weeks. 


We  want  every  employee  in  Kodak  Office  to  feel 
that  this  is  his  magazine,  and  consequently  ask  each 
and  every  one  of  you  to  take  an  interest  in  the 
publication,  and  hand  in  anything  that  you  think 
will  be  of  interest  to  the  rest  of  us. 


George  Copeland  of  the  Shipping  Department 
went  on  a  fishing  trip  to  Canada.  "One  fish  was  so 
big"  says  George,  "that  I  tied  it  to  a  bridge  while 
I  went  to  get  something  to  carry  it  in,  and  when  I 
got  back  the  bridge  was  gone."  That's  why  the 
boys  didn't  get  their  fish  dinner. 


Mildred  Mayer,  Mr.  Fenn's  stenographer,  is 
wearing  a  new  and  mighty  pretty  diamond  ring  on 
the  third  finger  of  her  left  hand.  Engaged?  Sure — 
to  Stanlev  Arend.

We  were  very  glad  to  receive  a  long  newsy  letter 
from  Mr.  Swingley  last  week.  "Swing,"  as  pre- 
viously reported  in  om-  columns,  left  some  weeks 
ago  to  take  up  farming  '"somewhere  in  Florida." 
He  reports  crop  conditions  good.  The  rainy  season 
must  be  on;  at  any  rate  it  rains  every  day  and 
between  the  oranges  and  frequent  showers  orangeade 
should  be  plentiful. 


Paul  Fogelman  of  the  Advertising  Department

A  YOUNG  OLD  TIMER 

"Bill"  Croft  is  one  of  the  oldest  Kodak  employees. 
He  has  been  in  continuous  employ  of  the  Company 
since  1886 — except  when  he  served  in  the  Arm\- 
during  the  Spanish-American  war. 

In  his  present  capacity  he  performs  a  very  im- 
portant task,  that  of  determining  the  correctness 
of  the  prices  on  all  invoices  rendered  to  customers 
by  tlie  Main  Office.  His  "W.  C."  (Will  Croft), 
when  it  appears  on  an  office  record,  implies  certifica- 
tion of  absolute  correctness,  and  when  we  stop  to 
consider  the  number  of  invoices  rendered  each  day 
by  the  Main  Office,  we  must  agree  that  he  accom- 
plishes   quite   a    task. 


lULI."  CROFT 

We  hear  that  Miss  Harriman.  our  new  nurse,  has 
mastered  the  art  of  driving  the  flivver  through  Main 
Street. 


Bob  Harkins,  in  the  Repair  Department,  attended 
the  Spanish  War  Veterans'  Convention  at  Washing- 
ton, D.  C.  Yes,  Bob  "fit"  in  the  Spanish-American 
war,  serving  three  years  in  the  Philippines.  He  was 
a  representative  at  the  Convention  from  Rochester. 


Twelve  girls  of  the  Advertising  Department  held 
a  sausage  roast  and  variety  shower  at  Manito,i 
Beach  for  Edna  Thra.sher.  Edna  received  many 
useful  gifts  and  the  girls  report  that  the  "dogs" 
were  great. 

We  wish  to  extend  our  sincere  sympathy  to 
W^illard  Anger  on  the  loss  of  his  mother,  who  died 
on  Smiday,  September  5th.

Edna  Thrasher  of  the  Advertising  Department

Kaiser,  of  Kodak  Park.     Our  best  wishes,  Edna. 


On  September  9,  1920,  Tom  Craig  completed 
twenty-five  years  service  with  the  Company.  While 
Tom  is  getting  baldheaded,he  doesn't  look  any  the 
worse  for  wear.  The  first  himdred  years  are  the 
hardest,  Tom.  

We  are  glad  to  welcome  to  our  Medical  Depart- 
ment, Marcia  Jefferson,  who  will  carry  on  the  work 
of  Elizabeth  Oviatt.  Elizabeth  has  been  with  us 
during  the  summer  months,  but  has  left  to  continue 
her  studies  at  the  University  of  Rochester. 


John  Albertson  of  the  Shipping  Department, 
assistant  to  George  Copeland,  left  the  employ  to 
attend  the  University  of  Rochester.  We  hope  we'll 
see  vou  again  at  Kodak  later  on.

On  a  recent  Saturday  aftern(xin.  Homer  Ransom, 
manager  of  the  Premo  basketball  team,  enter- 
tained all  members  of  the  team  as  his  guests 
at  his  cottage  at  Sea  Breeze.  Leaving  the  factory 
at  twelve  o'clock  in  autos.  they  arrived  at  the  cot- 
tage in  a  short  time,  where  dinner  had  been  prepared 
by  Mrs.  Ransom,  the  tables  being  set  on  the  front 
lawn  waiting  for  their  arrival. 

.\fter  dinner  the  girls  decided  to  don  their 
bloomers  and  middies  and  take  in  some  of  the 
sights,  .\fter  strolling  around  riding  on  the  jack 
rabbit,  merry-go-round,  the  whip  and  the  dear 
little  ponies  which  are  mostly  for  children,  by  this 
time  the  news  had  gotten  to  the  '"Copper"  that 
there  was  a  bunch  of  the  fair  sex  running  loose  in 
the  park  with  a  new  fangled  bathing  suit  on.  .\s  it 
is  against  the  rule  to  leave  the  beach  in  bathing 
togs,  "by  request"  the  bunch  decided  to  go  back  to 
the  cottage  where  a  number  of  games  were  played 
and  prizes  given  as  follows: 

Ostrich  race  won  by  Margaret  Schwartz;  mount 
race.  Mary  Dafner  and  Edith  Beal;  frog  race.  Edith 
Beal;  standing  broad  jump.  Jennie  Walzer;  first  girl 
dre.s.sed  in  bathing  suit.  >Iarie  Phillippsen. 

The  girls  wish  to  thank  Mr.  and  ^Irs.  Ransom  for 
the  splendid  way  in  which  they  were  entertained. 


If  you  have  not  been  to  the  building  bee,  you  are 
missing  something.  The  boys  are  sure  doing  fine 
and  the  eats,  well  just  send  your  name  to  the  E.  &  S. 
Department  and  you  will  find  out.  Mr.  Russell 
says  that  he  still  has  quite  a  bit  of  work  to  do.  Will 
you  join  us.^  

The  right  wav  to  get  monev  is  to  work  for  it. 


If  any  Kodak  employee  living  in  the  Nineteenth 
Ward  has  a  finer  \ariety  of  fruit,  shrubs,  vegetables, 
etc.,  Charles  Werder  of  our  tool  department  chal- 
lenges you  to  produce  it.  With  a  lot  117  x  133.  he 
has  a  full  sized  house,  cement  walk,  garage,  driveway, 
chicken-coop,  19  chickens,  dog-house,  Airedale  dog. 
•i'i  fruit  trees,  151  different  kinds  of  shrubs.  27 
varieties  of  vegetables,  36  gooseberry  and  currant 
bushes  and  6  grape  vines.  He  produces  enough 
fruit  from  the  trees  for  all  winter's  use,  and  enough 
seasonable  vegetables  to  feed  a  good  sized  family. 
Of  course,  marrying  a  "florists  daughter"  helps 
some  in  taking  care  of  a  garden  like  this. 


DANGEROUS  PLAYTHINGS 

The  guns  and  bow  and  arrow  you  see  here  are 
not  relics  of  the  Indian  days  or  of  the  late  wars. 
These  '20th  Centiu-y  play  toys  were  in  the  hands  of 
a  boy  who  had  not  reached  his  17th  birthday.  By 
saving  his  spare  money  which  was  earned  at  odd 
jobs,  he  was  able  to  purchase  these  at  different  times, 
without  the  consent  of  his  parents.  His  father, 
after  reading  our  safety  bulletins  and  other  propa- 
ganda on  safety,  and  seeing  the  boys  around  at 
different  times  with  the  guns,  decided  that  there 
might  be  something  to  all  this  safety  bunk  which 
he  had  heard  so  much  about.  Having  in  mind  the 
harm  that  might  be  done  to  his  or  some  other  man's 
children  with  such  deadly  weapons  in  the  hands 
of  children,  he  took  possession  of  same,  knowing 
that  perhaps  this  action  might  save  the  suffering 
or  perhaps  the  life  of  some  person.

They  say  that  absence  makes  the  heart  grow  fonder

cert, during  the  past  few  weeks,  the  applause  was 
great,  and  every  one  seemed  to  enjoy  the  music 
since  its  return.  Ralph  K.  Hutchings  personally 
expressed  his  appreciation  in  behalf  of  the  members 
of  the  Orchestra  for  the  attention  and  applause 
given  them,  and  says  that  they  like  to  please  the

Ida  Irving,  one  of  the  Covering  Room  belles,  says 
she  enjoys  the  concerts  given  noon-hours  by  the 
Premo  Club  Orchestra,  but  says  that  it  is  a  long  time 
between  selections.  Yes,  Ida,  we  will  have  to  agree 
with  you  this  time,  but  they  have  to  come  up  for  air. 


Carl  Kraftschik,  of  the  Production  Department, 
bought  a  lot  out  South  Avenue  near  the  County 
Buildings,  and  expects  to  build  in  the  near  future. 
Carl  entered  the  service  of  our  country  as  Corporal, 
June  27,  1918,  and  was  sent  to  Camp  Upton  and 
later  to  Camp  Dix,  being  assigned  to  Co.  E,  87th 
Division,  going  overseas  August  24th,  1918,  and 
serving  with  that  outfit  until  December  20th,  1918. 
At  that  time  he  was  transferred  to  the  266th  M.  P. Co., 
doing  duty  at  Nantes,  France,  until  July  27th,1919, 
and  was  discharged  at  Camp  Upton,  August  2,  1919.

Walter  Van  Sanford  has  installed  an  exhaust 
whistle  on  his  Ford.  "Van"  says  when  passing  a  car 
on  the  road  he  likes  to  make  them  think  it  is  a  big 
car  coming  so  they  will  pull  to  one  side  quick. 
"Van,"  we  thought  when  we  heard  it  that  we  had

Wray  De  Garmo  waits  for  time  or  no  man  when 
drivang  his  "Flivver."  If  you  don't  believe  us,  ask 
some  one  who  rides  with  him.  He  is  some  artist  in 
slipping  between  cars. 


Edith  Heinrich  of  the  Cost  Department  is  quite 
worried  for  fear  that  reporter  by  the  name  of 
J.  Harold  Johnson  will  put  her  name  in  the  Kodak 
Magazine.  Edith  says  that  you  can't  even  look  at 
him  without  getting  a  write-up.  Harold,  we  are 
proud  of  you,  and  only  hope  some  of  the  others 
will  see  this  in  print  and  take  the  hint. 


The  foreman  is  human,  treat  him  right  and  he  will

W'ho  is  right.^  "Lem"  Hosford  has  quit  riding 
up  on  the  front  elevator.  "Allie"  Yahn  says  he 
thinks  the  reason  for  it  is  because  we  have  a  new 
elevator  man  and  "Jack"  Lyons  says  it  is  because 
they  have  changed  the  capacity  that  can  be  carried 
at  one  time.    "Lem"  what's  the  answer.^ 


ALL-KODAKS  ENTERTAIN  HOUSE  OF  DAVID 

\\'HISKERED  WONDERS  PLAY  TO  RECORD  CROWD  AT  CHAPIX  BALL  YARD 


OX  September  4th.  "Dutch"  Irwin's 
All-Kodaks  brought  to  Rochester 
the  sensation  par  excellence,  the  prize 
attraction  of  the  19*20  season,  when  they 
entertained  at  Baseball  Park  the  famous 
bearded  ball-players  of  the  House  of 
David,  from  Benton  Harbor,  Michigan. 
The  visitors  added  another  to  their  long 
winning  streak,  by  nosing  out  a  9  to  8 
victory  over  the  Kodak  warriors. 

This  game  attracted  wide  attention  in 
Rochester  and  vicinity,  and  nearly  7,000 
people  crowded  the  home  of  the  Colts 
for  a  glimpse  of  the  hairy  handlers  of  the 
horsehide.  One  enormous  heave  by 
"Dutch"  himself  in  the  eighth  session 
spelled  defeat  for  the  home  talent.  As 
one    of    the    loval    rooters    commented: 


"He  threw  that  pill  farther  than  anybody 
on  the  team  could  hit  it!"  Three  runs 
came  home  on  the  Kodak  leader's  error, 
just  enough  to  give  the  visitors  the  long 
end  of  the  decision. 

"Chuck"  Forstbauer  hurled  first-rate 
ball,  and  with  better  support,  should  have 
notched  the  victory.  The  husky  pitcher 
struck  out  fourteen  of  the  invading  bat- 
ters, and  allowed  them  only  eight 
scattered  singles.  The  All-Kodaks  mean- 
while were  doing  some  real  hitting. 
"Chuck"  himself  notched  a  double  and  a 
triple,  while  Floyd  Gordon,  holding  down 
left  field,  bounced  a  four-sacker  off  the 
terrace.  Five  errors  marred  the  work  of 
the  Kodak  fielders. 


WERE  YOU  ONE  OF  THE  7000 
Who  Saw  these  Boys  at  Baseball  Park.'

battle  of  their  three-game  series  with  the 
All-Kodaks  In'  a  9  to  1  score.  For  six 
innings  the  struggle  was  nip  and  tuck  with 
both  Rohrer  and  Finnegan  displaying 
gilt-edged  pitching  wares.  In  the  seventh 
"Hank"  suddenly  enlisted  in  the  aviation. 
Before  he  got  his  "bob-tail"  the  Knights 
had  pushed  eight  counters  across  the  pan. 
Diehl  finished  the  game  and  held  the

The  La})or  Day  holiday  was  a  busy 
.season  for  tiie  locals.  Following  the 
House  of  David  game  on  Saturday, 
September  4th,  Irwin's  men  cleaned  up 
the  Crystals  on  Simday,  September  5th; 
score  7  to  3.  This  game  was  tight  except 
for  the  fifth  session  when  the  Kodak  team 
bunched  their  hits  with  errors  by  the 
invaders  for  five  runs.  Rohrer  was  hit 
hard  but  kept  the  Crystals'  bingies  well 
scattered.

and  dropped  a  9  to  4  game  to  the  town

League  and  forfeit  to  the  leading  teams, 
Hawk-Eye,  Kodak  Park,  and  Camera 
Works,  the  balance  of  their  games  with 
these  leaders.  This  action  put  the  Hawk- 
Eye  team  alone  in  first  place  with  12 
games  won  and  3  lost,  and  Kodak 
Park  and  Camera  Works  in  a  tie  for 
second  place,  each  team  having  won  11 
games  and  lost  3.  The  final  game  of 
the  regular  League  schedule,  played  at 
Kodak  Park  on  Saturday,  September 
11th,  proved  a  big  upset  to  the  dope- 
sters.  The  game  was  started  in  the 
midst  of  a  drizzling  rain  and  forced  play 
to  be  called  in  the  first  half  of  the  sixth. 


Thanks  largely  to  the  superb  pitching  of 
"Lefty"  Kline  and  the  timely  hitting  of 
"Pinky"  Rutan,  the  State  Street  team 
surprised  the  spectators  with  a  6  to  1 
victory,  thereby  entering  the  play-off 
for  the  title.  Kline  allowed  but  one 
scratch  hit  and  received  splendid  support 
from  his  team-mates.  Rutan,  with  a 
clean  homer  into  the  hedge  in  left  field, 
and  a  single  over  second,  was  responsible 
for  four  of  the  six  tallies. 

As  this  number  of  the  magazine  goes 
to  press,  rumor  is  rife  about  a  city  title 
series  between  Hawk-Eye  and  the  winners 
of  the  Industrial  League  title.

the  League  present  re-

most  successful  season.  The 
League  decided  to  adopt  no

their  win  over  the  Camera

LOOKING  BACKWARD 

OR  IN  PRE-KODAK  DAYS 

Being  a  Short  Account  of  the  Beginnings  of  Photography 


Chapter  II 


THE  collodion  or  "wet  plate"  process 
which  so  revolutionized  photography 
is  fairly  well  known.  It  was  in  universal 
"Wet  use  until  the  advent  of  dry  plates 
Plates'  in  the  eighties,  and  is  still  used 
extensively  by  engravers  and  for  map 
printing.  It  even  survived 
dry  plates  in  many  studios 
for  several  years — bringing 
its  use  within  the  recollec- 
tion, if  not  the  actual  experi- 
ence, of  many  readers.  Pho- 
tographers who  hadperfected 
themselves  in  the  collodion 
method  and  knew  to  a  cer- 
tainty its  results, were  some- 
times reluctant  to  change 
the  known  for  the  unknown, 
just  as  a  few  were  reluctant 
to  change  from  the  tedious 
Daguerre  process  to  the  col- 
lodion and  will,  in  turn, cling 
to  dry  plates  long  after  por- 
trait film  has  even  more 
firmly  established  itself. 
The  preparation  of  one's  own  plates  too 
was  looked  upon  as  part  of  the  photo- 
graphic art,  and  many  were  influenced 
by  these  traditions. 

In  the  collodion  method,  a  glass  plate 
was  coated  with  a  film  of  collodion  (a 
solution  of  nitrated  cotton  in  ether  and 
alcohol)  in  which  had  been  dissolved 
certain  iodides  and  bromides.  Just  as  the 
fluid  had  set,  the  plate  was  immersed  in 
a  silver  nitrate  bath.  The  iodides  in  the 
collodion  mixture  combined  with  the  silver 
to  form  an  emulsion  or  suspension  of  silver 
iodide  in  the  film.  Both  exposure  and 
development  were  made  while  the  plate 
was  still  wet. 


A  VIEW  OUTFIT 
IN  PRE-KODAK  DAYS 


Troublesome  as  this  method  seems 
from  modern  standpoints,  it  marked 
the  beginning  of  modern  photography 
as  we  understand  it,  and  permanently 
established  photography  as  a  profes- 
sion. A  perfectly  transparent  nega- 
tive from  which  any  num- 
ber of  prints  could  be  made 
was  realized,  in  contrast 
to  its  great  forerunner,  the 
Daguerre  process,  which 
yielded  a  single  picture 
for  each  exposure.  The 
albumen  printing  process 
which  made  its  appear- 
ance about  the  same  time 
made  the  studio  equipment 
fairly  complete. 

These  were  giant  strides 
in  photographic  processes, 
but  giant  strides  made  up  of 
infinite,  painstaking,  experi- 
mental steps  of  which  this 
brief  historical  narrative  cati 
take  no  account.  Daguerre, 
for  instance,  is  said  to  have  shut  him- 
self in  his  laboratory  for  nearly  two 
years,  living  almost  continuously  in  the 
midst  of  books,  crucil)les,  retorts  and 
melting  pots.  And  every  step  of  the 
way  toward  the  discovery  and  simplifica- 
tion of  photographic  methods  before  and 
since  has  been  gained  at  the  same  cost 
of  infinite,  painstaking  research  and 
experiment. 

Photographic  processes,  however  well 
adapted  to  the  studio,  were  still  too  in- 
Oittdoor  volved  and  tedious  for  outdoor 
Outfit  work,  professional  or  amateur. 
The  traveling  outfit  for  instance  at  that 
time  included  a  bulky  view  camera,  heavy 


THE    KODAK    :MAGAZINE 


Eastman 


tripod,  equally  heavy  and  burdensome 
plates,  a  dark  tent  for  loading  and  sensitiz- 
ing the  plates  before  exposure,  a  nitrate 
bath  and  a  water  carrier.  Having  chosen 
his  subject  and  set  up  his  camera,  the 
photographer  had  to  creep  under  the  dark 
tent  to  sensitize  and  load  his  plates,  clap 
them  dripping  into  the  camera,  and  hav- 
ing made  his  exposure,  creep  under  the 
tent  again  to  unload  and  develop. 

Under  such  conditions,  amateur  pho- 
tography was  virtually  unknown;  its  prac- 
tice confined  to  a  handful  of  devotees 
whose  enthusiasm  was  ecjual  to  its  difficul- 
ties, physical  and  technical.  There  were 
only  two  such  amateurs  in  Rochester  at 
the  time  and  one  of  these  was  Mr. 
Eastman. 

This  was  back  in  1878.  Mr.  Eastman 
was  a  clerk  at  the  time  in  the  Rochester 
Savings  Bank  and  took  up  amateur  pho- 
tography as  a  hobby.  From  a  local 
photographer,  he  learned  how  to 
make  pictures,  at  a  cost  of  $5.00  for  the 
lessons,  read  all  he  could  on  the  subject 
and  practiced  the  art  on  every  possible 
occasion.  But  he  was  not  enthusiastic 
either  over  the  load  the  amateur  had  to 
carry  or  over  the  "elaborate  and  pains- 
taking ordeal"  that  outdoor  photography 
was  in  those  days. 

The  direction  in  which  simplicity  might 
lie  was  first  suggested  to  Mr.  Eastman  by 
an  article  in  an  English  magazine,  in  which 
"Dry'  the  possil)ilities  of  a  gelatine  "dry" 
Plates  plate  to  replace  the  "wet"  were 
discussed.  In  his  spare  time  he  began  to 
experiment  along  these  lines  and  eventu- 
ally "came  upon  a  coating  of  gelatine  and 
silver  bromide  emulsion  that  had  all  the 
necessary  photographic  qualities."  His 
achievement  was  practically  contempor- 
ary with  their  commercial  production  in 
England.  And  in  1880,  under  the  firm 
name  of  George  Eastman,  he  began  their 
manufacture  and  sale. 

Dry  plates  "scrapped"  the  dark  tent, 
the  nitrate  bath  and  other  burdens  of  the 
field  equipment.      Results  also  were  less 


dependent  upon  skill.  And  to  this  extent, 
amateur  photography  had  been  greatly 
simplified  and  relieved  of  much  of  its 
arduous  labor. 

But  plates,  whether  wet  or  dry  are 
heavy.  They  are  also  breakable  and  the 
combination  was  still  a  great  handicap  to 
the  amateur.  So  that  professional  pho- 
tographers remained  by  far  the  largest 
customers  of  the  new  dry  plate  industry. 
Further  simplification  was  necessary  if 
photography  was  to  be  made  the  everyday 
affair  which  even  at  that  time  was  in  Mr. 
Eastman's  mind. 

The  real  solution  of  the  amateur  prob- 
lem pointed  to  a  "rollable"  film  that 
would  do  away  with  glass  plates  al- 
Roll  Film  and  together.  The  first  step  in 
Roll  Holder  this  direction  was  a  roll  film 
of  coated  paper  to  which  the  sensitized 
emulsion  was  applied.  A  roll  holder,  the 
joint  invention  of  Mr.  Eastman  and  a 
co-worker,  the  late  Mr.  William  H. 
Walker,  adapted  it  to  the  ordinary  view 
cameras  then  in  use. 

Paper  film,  however,  had  serious  dis- 
advantages. The  paper  was  selected  with 
utmost  care  and  the  negatives  greased  to 
make  them  transparent,  but  in  spite  of 
these  precautions,  the  grain  of  the  paper 
would  now  and  then  show  in  the  print. 

The  Eastman  "stripping"  film  was  then 
devised.  This  consisted  of  a  temporary 
paper  base  coated  with  soluble  gelatine, 
"Stripping"    which  in  turn  was  coated  with 

Fdm  the  gelatine  emulsion.  When 
the  negative  was  immersed  in  water  the 
image  could  be  stripped  or '  'floated' '  off  and 
transferred  to  a  transparent  gelatine  skin. 
A  perfectly  transparent  negative  was  rea- 
lized, but  the  process  was  intricate  and 
had  to  be  handled  by  expert  hands. 

The  mechanical  end  of  the  problem  had, 
however,  been  solved  to  the  inventor's 
satisfaction — it  was  now  a  question  of 
film — and  along  these  lines,  as  we  shall 
see,  the  whole  problem  of  amateur  pho- 
tography was  ultimately  worked  out.

CAPTURED  AT  KODAK  PARK 

THE  DIMETHYLANINOPHENOL  AND  THE  NITROPHENYLHYDRAZINE 


No,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  the  above 
heading  was  not  taken  from  the  bill- 
boards advertising  the  last  three  ring 
(count-'em)  circus  that  visited  our  fair 
city. 

If  you  live  near  Kodak  Park,  you  need 
have  no  fear  of  finding  either  one  of  these 
strange  beasties  scratching  on  your  back 
door  or  conducting  themselves  in  any 
other  unseemly  manner;  they  are  far  too 
well  trained  for  that. 

Practically  all  of  us  are  familiar  in  a 
general  way  wath  the  various  products  we 
manufacture;  cameras,  film,  plates,  paper 
and  all  the  other  things  photographic,  and 
we  also  know  that  our  company  is  the 
largest  in  the  world,  and  that  its  products 
have  been  used,  and  are  known,  from 
pole  to  pole.  The  constantly  increasing 
range  of  usefulness  of  photography  in  both 


the  industries  and  in  the  scientific  world 
has  involved  us  in  many  unusual  prob- 
lems. To  aid  us  in  solving  these  problems, 
and  to  maintain  our  lead  in  the  industry, 
we  maintain  at  Kodak  Park  our  Research 
Laboratory.  (Some  other  time  we  are 
going  to  tell  you  more  of  its  work.) 

During,  and  immediately  after  the  war, 
many  manufacturers  and  scientific  insti- 
tutions found  themselves  cut  off  from  a 
supply  of  the  unusual  chemicals  necessary 
to  their  work. 

Our  Research  Laboratory,  more 
through  a  feeling  of  patriotism  than  with 
a  thought  of  gain,  undertook  to  manu- 
facture and  supply  these  much-needed 
products,  and  so  you  see  these  two  fear- 
some names  were  simply  taken  from  a 
recent  list  of  chemicals  we  are  in  position 
to  supply. 


THE   KODAK  MAGAZINE 


DOES  ADVERTISING  INCREASE  COST? 


A  FRIEND  of  ours  asked  us  not  so  long 
ago.  to  step  into  a  hardware  store 
with  him  to  examine  a  kitchen  range. 
Now  what  we  don't  know  about  ranges 
would  fill  quite  some  volume,  but  having 
nothing  much  else  to  do  we  consented. 
The  dealer  showed  off  the  range;  it  was  a 
nice  shiny  affair,  with  the  usual  number 
of  doors,  dampers,  and  other  "dew 
dads."  After  explaining  its  various 
points  the  dealer  added,  "I  can  make 
you  a  good  price  on  this  range  because 
the  manufacturers  don't  advertise  it, 
and  save  all  the  money  that  would 
be  spent  that  way,  and  so  can  make  a 
lower  price  to  me." 

The  friend  looked  inc|uiringly  at  us 
and  we  had  to  laugh  because  the  idea 
that  unadvertised  goods  could  be  sold 
for  less  money  because  no  money  had 
been  spent  for  advertising  was  fully 
and  completely  exploded  as  far  back  as 
the  Chicago  Fair. 

If  you  have  a  good  product,  and  that 
is  the  only  kind  worth  advertising,  the 
amount  spent  for  advertising  will  be  an 
investment,  not  an  expense,  and  here's 
to  prove  it. 

Let  us  take  our  own  Kodak;  what 
has  made  it  known  and  sold  in  every 
country  in  the  world,  and  why  does  it 
take  acres  and  acres  of  floor  space  and 
thousands  of  employees  to  produce  it, 
and  the  other  goods  of  our  manufacture? 
Could  all  this  have  been  accomplished 
without  advertising,  and  could  our 
products  be  sold  at  as  low  a  price  if 
they  were  not  advertised?  They  could 
not. 

The  first  Kodak,  invented  l)y  Mr. 
Eastman,  was  a  new  idea;  amateur 
photographers  were  not,  and  for  the  sale 
of  Kodaks  there  was  no  market  waiting; 
it  had  to  be  created.  He  i)ersonally 
could  have  sold  a  certain  niunber  in  his 
own  city;  he  could  have  employed  a 
small  army  of  salesmen  to  cover  the 
country,  but  the  cost  would  have  been 
all  out  of  proportion.     How  then  could 


he  and  did  he  create  this  market,  and 
increase  the  sale  of  his  goods?.  By 
advertising.  And  did  this  expenditure 
of  money  for  advertising  increase  or 
lower  the  cost  to  the  purchaser?  It 
lowered  it. 

In  any  factory,  large  or  small,  the 
same  force  that  can  produce  twenty-five 
items  can  with  but  little  more  effort 
produce  thirty;  a  shipping  clerk  can 
with  practically  no  extra  effort  ship 
this  extra  amount;  the  bookkeeper  can 
bill  these  extra  items  in  a  few  moments, 
and  the  cashier  can  handle  the  extra 
money  with  as  little  effort;  so  to  produce 
this  added  amount  requires  but  little 
more  than  the  necessary  extra  supply  of 
raw  material. 

Of  course,  as  any  business  grows 
beyond  a  certain  point,  more  help  and 
more  of  everything  else  is  required,  but 
the  fixed  charges  or  overhead  expense, 
as  it  is  termed,  do  not  keep  pace  at 
the  same  rate,  and  so  the  bigger  your 
production  the  less  per  item  it  costs. 

As  the  market  widens,  and  production 
increases,  the  demand  for  material  grows, 
and  the  buyer  in  large  quantities  can 
usually  obtain  the  cjuantity  price;  an- 
other saving  in  the  cost  to  produce. 
The  only  way  to  increase  production 
and  to  lower  its  costs  is  to  increase  the 
market  for  the  goods,  and  the  only 
economical  way  to  do  this  is  by 
advertising. 

When  anybody  tries  to  tell  you  that 
goods  can  be  sold  for  less  money  because 
they  are  not  advertised,  just  laugh  at 
him;  you   know   better.

that  its  head  doesn't  even  stick  up  over 
the  horizon. 

Protection  for  your  old  age,  and  for 
any  future  dependents  on  you,  does  not 
enter  into  your  calculations  because 
you  have  oodles  and  oodles  of  time  in 
which  to  attend  to  such  matters. 

"Tempus  fugit,"  as  we  used  to  say 
in  dear  old  Rome,  or  in  plain  English, 
"Time  flies,"  and  the  bugga  man  is  just 
around  the  corner. 

Here  is  what  statistics  disclose: 

Eighty-seven  per  cent,  of  those  who 
have  money  today  will  lose  it  by  the 
time  they  reach  age  65. 

Take  100  average  healthy  men,  start- 
ing at  age  25,  and  on  reaching  age  65 
thirty-six  will  be  dead,  one  rich,  four 
wealthy,  five  obliged  to  work  for  a  living. 


fifty-four  "down  and  out,"  dependent 
on  private  or  public  charity. 

The  accident  companies  report  that 
about  '-2,000,000  persons  are  killed  or 
injured  every  year  in  the  United  States. 

Probate  Court  records  all  over  the 
United  States  show  that  of  all  estates 
probated,  85  per  cent,  have  nothing; 
11  per  cent,  small  amounts,  $300.00  to 
$10,000,  and  only  -4  per  cent,  have 
$10,000  or  more. 

Eight  million  women  in  the  United 
States  must  work  to  live.  Of  3,000,000 
widows  in  the  United  States  over  age 
65,  ninety  per  cent,  are  without  the 
comforts  of  life. 

These  are  facts,  derived  from  the  most 
authentic  sources — the  U.  S.  Government 
Census,  Probate  Courts,  the  American 
Bankers'  Association,  the  Carnegie  Insti- 
tute, and  others. 

Each  succeeding  year  seems  to  roll 
around  a  bit  faster  than  its  predecessors, 
and  the  time  remaining  to  protect 
yourself  and  those  dependent  upon  you 
soon  becomes  all  too  brief,  and  the 
bugga  man  of  old  age,  poverty,  shows 
up  all  too  plainly. 

The  best  and  most  easily  acquired 
protection  is  life  insurance.  There  are 
many  good  companies  and  varying  forms 
of  policies  to  meet  different  conditions. 
The  younger  you  are,  the  less  it  will  cost 
you  to  carry  insurance,  and  if  you 
continue  in  good  health  you  can  add  to 
the  amount  carried  as  your  earning  power 
increases. 

When  a  man  assumes  the  responsibility 
of  caring  for  a  family,  his  duty  does  not 
end  when  he  supplies  them  wath  food, 
clothing  and  shelter  from  day  to  day. 

He  must  make  provision  for  their 
needs  in  the  future. 

"Life  insurance  is  bread  money,  and 
the  man  who  needlessly  denies  it  to  his 
family  is  unworthy  to  have  a  family," 
so  remarks  a  famous  minister. 

Protect  yourself  and  yours  from  future 
want — don't  wait  for  the  "bugga  man 
to  get  you."

SAFETY  AT  KODAK  HPHGHTS 
The  folks  over  in  Toronto  believe  in 
up-to-date  safety  methods  just  as  much 
as  we  do  here. 

The  accompanying  picture  shows  our 
General  Safety  Supervisor,  Charles  H. 
Thompson,  addressing  the  employees  of 
the  Canadian  Kodak  Company,  Ltd.,  at 
Kodak  Heights  during  a  recent  visit. 

RErRP:ATIOX  AT  KODAK,  LTD. 

Just  because  we  have  good,  live  athletic 
and  recreation  associations  here  in  the 
Rochester  organization,  we  must  not  get 
the  idea  that  Kodak  Limited,  across  the 
pond,  is  in  any  way  behind. 

The  Kodak  Recreation  Society  of 
Kodak,  Ltd.,  recently  held  their  annual 
sports  and  garden  fete  at  the  Kodak 
Sports  (irround  in  Wealdstone. 

A  long  program  of  events  was  run  off; 
the  events  were  open  to  other  local 
athletic  associations,  with  the  entries 
totalling  over  five  hundred. 

A  crowd  of  about  four  thousand  fol- 
lowed all  events   with  great  interest. 

Numerous  other  good  time  devices 
were  provided  for  those  not  participating 
in  the  athletic  events,  and  the  day  was 
closed  with  dancing  during  the  evening. 


THOUSANDS  HURT  IN  THE  STREETS 

During  the  last  twelve  months, 
25,000  people  were  injured  and 
Nearly  900  were  killed  in  street 
Accidents  in  the  city  of  New 
York.     The  street  record  is  indeed 
A  big  one,  because  the  streets  are 
Used  by  people  going  to  and  from 
Their  work  and  by  hundreds  of 
Pleasure-seekers  and  shoppers.     It  is 
Interesting  to  note  from  the  street 
Record  of  last  year,  that  automobiles 
Killed  (596  and" injured  16,288.     Other 
Vehicles  killed  16.S  and  injured  6,19L 
Accidents  from  other  causes  than

Be  careful  in  the  street  in  front  of 
Your  home  and  in  going  to  work.     Here 
Annually  in  Rochester,  scores  of 
People  are  killed  and  injured  simply 
Because  they  do  not  take  care  when

THE   KODAK  i\L\GAZINE 


THE  HELPING  HAND 


JOHN  S:MITH,  his  wife  and  five 
children,  were  routed  from  their  beds 
one  night  last  summer  by  a  fire  that 
completely  gutted  the  house  they  lived 
in.  Awakened  by  the  smell  of  smoke,  the 
crackling  of  flames  and  the  shouts  of 
neighbors,  they  barely  had  time  to  snatch 
a  few  articles  of  clothing  and  escape  to  the 
street.  Everything  they  possessed  in  the 
way  of  household  furniture,  bedding  and 
extra  clothing  was  destroyed  by  the  fire. 

Neighbors  took  them  in  for  the  night, 
and  bright  and  early  next  morning  the 
little  family  gathered  at  the  fire-wrecked 
structure  that  had  been  their  home  to 
take  counsel  and  see  how  much,  if  any- 
thing, had  been  spared  by  the  flames.  It 
did  not  take  them  long  to  realize  that 
their  loss  had  been  complete.  The 
contents  of  the  house,  comprising  all  the 
family's  cherished  possessions,  were 
charred  and  blackened  beyond  the  hope 
of  salvage,  and  with  the  blackened, 
scorched  and  dripping  walls  presented  a 
scene  of  desolation  that  caused  their 
hearts  to  sink. 

The  Smiths  were  comparative  stran- 
gers in  Rochester,  having  moved  to  the 
city  recently;  they  had  no  relatives  to 
whom  they  could  appeal,  and  their  circle 
of  friends  was  limited  to  the  immediate 
neighborhood.  Since  moving  to  Roches- 
ter, Smith  had  earned  just  enough  to 
maintain  his  family;  he  had  not  been 
able  to  lay  by  anything  for  the  rainy 
day.  As  he  stood  with  his  wife  and  five 
children  ruefully  looking  at  the  ruins  of 
their  home,  he  had  exactly  $15  in  his 
pocket,  and  that  was  all  the  money  he  had 
anywhere.  Only  a  few  days  previously 
the  family  outlook  had  appeared  so 
bright,  for  the  two  eldest  children,  one 
15  and  the  other  16,  had  finished  school 
and  taken  positions,  and  the  prospect  of 
the  enlarged  family  income  had  given 
them  all  a  vision  of  better  living  condi- 
tions— a  few  comforts,  perhaps.  Then 
the  fire  came. 


Sympathetic  neighbors  invited  the 
Smiths  to  breakfast,  and  Father  and 
Mother  decided  afterwards  that  Eva  and 
Bob  had  better  go  to  their  jobs,  first  giving 
them  money  from  the  scanty  store  to 
buy  lunches,  Father  in  the  meantime 
notifying  his  emploj^er  that  he  would  not 
report  for  duty  that  day  as  he  had  to 
find  some  place,  no  matter  how  humble, 
that  would  serve  as  a  shelter.  Mrs. 
Smith  was  made  welcome  by  a  hospitable 
neighbor,  while  Smith  went  about  his 
urgent  errand. 

The  plight  of  the  Smith  family  excited 
the  sympathy  of  all  in  the  neighborhood 
who  knew  them  and  their  circumstances. 
A  few  of  the  neighbors  talked  it  over  and 
canvassed  the  possibility  of  doing  some- 
thing for  them.  It  was  not  an  affluent 
neighborhood  and  none  of  its  residents 
were  in  a  position  to  do  very  much.  But 
all  of  them  had  the  heart  to  do  a  great 
deal.  One  of  the  group  finally  announced : 
"I'm  going  to  call  up  the  Community 
Chest.  We'll  wait  and  see  what  they  have 
to  say." 

When  John  Smith  returned  a  few  hours 
later  from  his  quest  pretty  much  dis- 
couraged by  the  fact  that  he  had  had  to 
pay  down  eight  of  his  few  remaining 
dollars  to  cover  one  week's  rent  in  ad- 
vance for  an  upper  flat,  he  found  a  young 
woman  talking  to  his  wife,  a  very  business- 
like young  woman,  who  somehow  or 
other  in  the  few  minutes  she  had  been 
conversing  with  Mrs.  Smith,  had  been 
able  not  only  to  grasp  the  entire  situation 
but  to  give  sensible  advice  and  offer 
practical  assistance.  This  young  woman, 
representing  one  of  the  philanthropic 
organizations  in  the  Community  Chest 
budget,  took  full  charge  of  establishing 
the  Smith  family  in  their  new  flat,  sup- 
plying furniture,  beds,  bedding  and 
cooking  utensils,  and  food  and  clothing. 

John  Smith  was  not  the  type  of  man  to 
let  pride  stand  in  the  way  of  accepting 
the    aid    his    family    needed    so    sorely; 


THE   KODAK   MAGAZINE

neither  was  he  of  the  type  that  is  prone 
to  "lay  down"  and  let  charitable  organi- 
zations bear  all  the  burden,  as  is  shown 
by  the  following  paragraph  from  the 
organization's  report  to  the  Community 
Chest : 

"This  morning  they  told  us  that  tliey 
did  not  wish  any  more  aid;  that  they 
would  go  slowly  and  buy  as  they  went 
along,  as  they  now  have  sufBcient  to  keep 


house  with.  We  shall  merely  send  in 
groceries  until  pay  checks  come  in,  unless 
something  unforeseen  happens." 

This  is  a  true  story  with  the  exception 
of  the  names  used.  The  misfortune  that 
befell  "John  Smith"  may  easily  happen 
to  any  family.  There  are  very  few  per- 
sons in  the  world  who  do  not  need  a  help- 
ing hand  at  some  stage  along  life's 
journey. 


STIMULATING  THE  IMAGINATION 

ITS  PRACTICAL  VALIE 


PRACTICALLY  without  exception 
you  will  find  that  the  man  who  has 
achieved  success  has  been  a  reader.  This 
does  not  mean  that  he  has  confined  him- 
self solely  to  musty  tomes,  and  to  the 
study  of  text  books  relating  to  his  tasks 
in  hand.  On  the  contrary,  the  majority  of 
successful  men  and  women  are  readers 
of  fiction;  not  trash  of  course,  but  fiction 
of  the  better  class,  because  such  reading 
stimulates  the  imagination,  and  imagina- 
tion is  essential  to  success. 

Imagination  combined  with  vision  is 
accountable  for  most  big  things  in  life. 
Now  there  is  a  difference  between 
imagination  and  vision,  though  they  may 
be  said  to  be  interlocking. 

One  good  definition  of  imagination  is 
this:  "The  art  or  power  of  combining  the 
products  of  past  experience  in  modified, 
new,  or  ideal  forms;  the  creative  or  con- 
structive power  of  the  mind."  Vision: 
"The  representation  of  absent  or  remote 
(as  in  the  future)  things  as  present." 

The  success  of  Edison,  Westinghouse, 
Eastman,  Schwab,  Morgan,  Carnegie, 
and  others  of  our  big  men  has  lain  in  this 
combination  of  imagination  and  vision. 

Vision  is  perhaps  not  so  easy  of  stimula- 
tion as  is  imagination,  but  we  should  by 
all  means  cultivate  the  imagination  if 
only  for  its  value  to  us  in  a  practical  way. 

We  will  venture  to  say  that  ninety- 
nine  per  cent  of  the  successful  suggestions 
submitted  to  us  are  from  employees  who 
read  much. 


Now  this  brings  us  down  to  what  do 
you  read,  or  what  can  you  or  should  you 
read,  in  the  way  of  fiction,  to  stimulate 
this  faculty  of  imagination. 

There  are  many  other  reasons  for  the 
reading  of  good  books,  most  of  which  are 
self-evident,  but  let  us  afford  here  a  short 
list  of  books  which  may  be  read  with  both 
interest  and  profit,  and  all  of  which  may 
be  found  in  any  public  library. 

Lorna  Doone,  Don  Quixote,  Huckle- 
berry Finn,  Tom  Sawyer,  all  of  Charles 
Dickens's  stories.  Count  of  Monte  Cristo, 
Three  Musketeers,  Luck  of  Roaring 
Camp,  Les  Miserables,  Charles  O'Malley, 
Last  Days  of  Pompeii,  Bob,  Son  of  Battle, 
The  Right  of  Way,  Ivanhoe,  Dr.  Jekyll 
and  Mr.  Hyde,  Treasure  Island,  Gulli- 
ver's Travels,  Gentleman  from  Indiana, 
Vanity  Fair,  Round  the  World  in  Eighty 
Days,  The  Virginian. 

This  is  just  a  list  selected  at  random, 
and  it  does  not  include  any  of  the  many 
excellent  works  of  the  last  few  seasons. 
Undoubtedly  many  of  you  have  read 
every  book  in  the  above  list,  but  if  not 
you  can  spend  a  pleasant  evening  or  so 
with  anv  one  of  them. 


Courtesy  is  like  the  air  on  the  inside 
of  a  tire.  There  may  be  nothing  to  it, 
but  still  it  eases  many  a  jolt  and  saves 
many  a  rupture.

PROMOTE  SAFETY  BY  PREVENTING  ACCIDENTS 

WHAT  YOU  CAN  DO  TO  HELP 
By  A.  A.  RuTTAN,  President  Rochester  Safety  Council 


SAFETY  First — we  believe  in  it,  we  are 
strong  for  it.  But  do  we  always  prac- 
tice it?  Do  we  unfailingly  remember  that 
personal  caution  is  the  only  means  of 
insuring  constant  safety?  Do  we  allow 
the  constant  warnings  of  the  day  to  be- 
come trite  in  our  minds? 

Thirteen  per  cent,  of  the  fatal  accidents 
of  last  year  occurred  in  industry,  the  re- 
maining eighty-seven  per  cent,  in  other 
phases  of  life. 

Precautions — we  need  them,  and  if  we 
are  to  reduce  accidents  to  an  absolute 
minimum,  we  must  heed  them.  Let  me 
remind  you  of  a  few.  First,  in  our  ivork, 
we  should  always  have  respect  for  safe- 
guards, they  are  put  there  for  our  benefit. 
If  we  have  suggestions,  we  should  make 
them.  Furthermore,  the  use  of  common 
sense  ought  to  prevent  the  commoner 
mistakes,  such  as  running  up  and  down 
stairs  and  taking  chances  in  getting  in  and 
out  of  elevators.  So,  in  the  course  of  our 
employment,  to  be  carefid  all  the  time 
of  what  we  are  doing  with  our  bodies,  is 
the  best  safety  rule. 

In  the  home  safety  should  be  the  watch- 
word, especially  with  the  children. 
Dangerous  playgrounds — the  street,  shops 
or  places  near  machines,  electric  currents, 
or  on  high  walls,  and  playing  with  things 
that  are  likely  to  cause  injury — such  as 
matches,  glass,  and  poisons,  are  to  be 
scrupulously  avoided.  Make  a  safe  place 
for  the  youngsters  to  play,  or  see  that 
they  get  safely  to  the  playgroimds  where 
they  can  come  under  the  direction  of  our 
City  Playground  Supervisors. 

Again,  on  the  street,  or  in  public  places, 
we  must  always  remember  that  the  safety 
of  others  as  well  as  our  ovv^n  security  de- 
pends upon  our  thoughtfulness.  There- 
fore, if  we  drive,  let  us  go  slowly  enough 
to  have  perfect  control  of  our  machines, 
and  obey  the  law  as  to  signals  and  the 
rights  of  others.     If  we  walk,  we  shoidd 


cross  the  streets  only  at  crossings  and 
take  care  in  heavy  traffic  or  congested 
places. 

To  summarize,  if  we  believe  in  safety, 
we  must  always  act  with  a  clear  mind  and 
a  steady  hand,  and  be  prepared  in  case 
of  emergency.  "Safety  First  is  a  life  sav- 
ing disease — be  sure  vou  catch  it." 


THE  GLAD  GIRL 

When  a  telephone  operator  sits  down 
to  her  work  in  the  morning  she  probably 
faces  a  greater  number  of  people  than 
a  worker  in  any  other  industry. 

An  operator  might  think  of  herself  as 
a  blind  person  sitting  at  the  beginning  of 
a  long  procession,  each  individual  of 
which  asks  her  something. 

Here  comes  somebody  with  a  fresh, 
rested  voice;  here  someone  in  a  hurry, 
and  the  operator  endeavors  to  be  quick 
to  help  him  to  what  he  wants.  Here  is 
the  voice  of  an  old  person  who  seems 
afraid  of  making  a  mistake;  there  a 
child  who  speaks  much  too  loud  or 
waits  too  long  to  tell  what  he  wants. 
There  are  pleasant  voices,  voices  too 
loud,  voices  too  weak,  and  each  one 
gives  you  a  very  distinct  impression. 

We  feel  you  at  our  end  of  the  wire; 
we  feel  your  anxiety;  we  feel  your 
hurry;  we  are  sensitive  to  your  im- 
patience, and  WE  love'  YOUR 
COURTESY. 

We  get  to  know  what  most  of  you 
think  of  us;  your  confidence  of  our 
gladness  to  serve  you  makes  the  day 
glad  for  us,  for  who  can  come  nearer  to 
all  of  your  needs  than  an  operator? 

People  plus  service !  We  work  with 
all  the  ability,  patience,  wit,  skill,  speed 
and  love  that  an  operator  can  cram  in  to 
make  a  big  world  glad  and  a  busy  world 
content.

The  annual  election  of  officers  of  the  Folnier- 
Century  Athletic  Association  resulted  in  the  choice 
of  Alexander  Ryan  of  the  Metal  Department  who 
has  always  taken  an  active  interest  in  all  our  social 
and  athletic  activities  as  President.  Joseph  Dresch- 
ler,  Jr.,  of  the  Plate  Holder  Department  and  Peter 
Breemes  of  the  Assembling  Department  were  elect- 
ed first  and  second  Vice-President  respectively. 
The  members  of  the  Association  were  well  satisfied 
with  the  way  George  T.  Roche  had  handled  the 
finances  of  the  Association  for  the  past  year  and 
he  was  unanimously  re-elected  Treasurer  for  an-

Secretary.

off  at  Ehn  Hall  on  Saturday.  October  IGth,  at  i 
o'clock.  The  boys  are  showing  a  lot  of  interest 
and  are  displaying  good  form.  We  are  not  only 
going  to  have  a  whole  heap  of  fun  out  of  this,  but 
watch  us  develop  some  future  greats  for  the  Big 
League. 

The  following  teams  comprise  the  League: 
Team  Captain 

Sales J.  Gunderson 

Accounting J.  Gordier 

Bookkeeping E.  Schug 

Billing J.  Van  Dusen 

Stock C.  Howard 

Repair J.  Berl 

Shipping.  Domestic J.  Schoenwitz 

Shipping,  Export A.  LawTence 

Practice  will  be  held  Saturday  afternoons  at  '■2 
o'clock  at  the  Elm  ("lub.  and  Tuesday  nights  at  8 
o'clock  at  the  Eagles'  Club  on  North  Washington 
Street. 

Basketball  practice  is  being  held  every  Thursday 
night  at  Stratford  Roller  Rink.  There  are  about 
twenty  recruits  out  and  witli  an  occasional  practice 
being  pinched  in  at  noon  time,  the  team  will  soon  be 
cho.sen  and  whipped  into  shape  for  the winterseason. 

Here  are  social  and  athletic  managers  of  the 
K.  O.  R.  C: 


Arthur  Bartholomew..  Mgr..  Men's  Bowling  League 

Glenn  Morrow General  Athletic  Chairman 

Fred  Fogarty Mgr.,  Men's  Basketball  Team 

Laura  Cramer ^Igr..  Girls'  Bowling  League 

.\lice  I'pton Chairman.  Dance  Committee 

.\delaide  Meise Mgr.,  Girls'  Basketball  Team 

The  first  work-out  of  the  Girls'  Basketball  Team 
was  held  at  the  Stratford  Roller  Skating  Rink  on 
Monday,  October  11,  and  since  that  time  they 
have  been  holding  practices  regularly.  Toddy 
Diehl  has  the  team  in  hand  and  it  is  expected  that 
they  will  become  the  stars  of  Rochester  before 
long.  If  anyone  plays  who  hasn't  already  signed 
up,  see  Adelaide  Meise  and  report  for  practice — 
every  Monday  at  6  p.  m. 

This  branch  of  the  K.  O.  R.  C.  activities  bids 
fair  to  be  a  howling  success.  On  Wednesday 
evening,  October  6,  about  fifty  girls  as.sembled  at 
Elm  Hall  for  preliminary  practice,  and  a  great 
deal  of  enthusiasm  was  shown.  Some  of  the  girls 
had  never  bowled  before;  so  a  corps  of  instructors 
in  the  persons  of  Messrs.  Strowger,  Bartholomew 
and  Van  Dusen  was  present.  Frank  gave  the 
demonstrations  and  the  girls  all  voted  that  he  was 
very  graceful. 

We  are  unable  to  state  definitely  as  to  the  future 
bowling  dates  for  the  girls,  but  the  time  and  place 
will  be  announced  just  as  soon  as  possible.

Charles  Rowe  of  the  Testing  and  Packing  Depart- 
ment, spent  an  enjoyable  vacation  camping  on  the 
shore  of  Bobs  Lake,  Canada. 

Because  of  the  high  wind,  which  prevailed  on  the 
lake,  his  party  was  forced  to  fish  in  Crows  ]?ay, 
one  of  the  numerous  bays  which  skirt  this  beautiful 
lake.  His  story  of  the  large  catch  of  black  bass, 
and  yellow  pike,  is  authentic.  He  proves  it  by  the 
picture. 


ACCOUNTING  DEPARTMENT 
SAUSAGE  ROAST 

On  a  recent  Saturday  afternoon  about  twenty- 
five  people  from  the  Accounting  Department  went 
to  Sunset  Point,  near  Durand-Eastman  Park, 
for  a  sausage  and  corn  roast.  The  weather  was 
ideal,  the  water  just  right  for  a  swim,  but — the 
bath  houses  were  all  closed  for  the  season. 

Athletic  sports  were  run  off  during  the  afternoon, 
and  Olive  Wallace  won  the  first  prize  in  the  girls' 
football  contest.  A  mixed  ball  game  by  teams 
chosen  by  R.  Kron  and  H.  Bakker  ended  in  a 
victory  (.'')  for  the  Bakker  outfit,  and  not  all  the 
runs  were  made  by  the  fellows  either. 

Mr.  Kron,  in  charge  of  the  entertainment,  kept 
everybody  smiling.  He  is  siu-ely  full  of  "pep." 
Much  singing  was  enjoyed,  as  well  as  the  games  and 
a  Moonlight  Virginia  Reel.  Altogether,  it  was  a 
very  successful  party  and  we  all  went  home  happy.

company  for  upwards  of  eighteen  years,  and  for 
the  past  eight  years  connected  with  the  Welfare 
Department,  left  the  employ  of  the  company  on 
Thursday,  September  30th.  On  Monday,  October 
4th,  he  and  his  family  started  for  Avon  Park. 
Florida,  where  they  own  an  orange  grove.  Mr. 
Hudlass  was  in  the  employ  of  the  Seed  Dry  Plate 
Company  at  St.  Louis  at  the  time  it  was  purchased 
by  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company.  He  remained 
in  St.  Louis  until  1911,  when  the  plant  was  trans- 
ferred to  Rochester. 

Before  Mr.  Hudlass  left  he  was  presented  with  a 
gold  watch  and  chain  by  Mr.  P.  W.  Turner,  on 
behalf  of  the  department  and  friends.  A  large 
number  of  his  fellow  employees  and  friends  were 
at  the  station  to  bid  him  and  his  family  good-bye. 
The  best  wishes  for  health  and  prosperity  go  with 
them  in  this  new  venture. 


Gladys  Mitchel,  of  the  Sample  Print  Department, 
has  been  away  from  the  Department  for  some  time, 
due  to  the  illness  of  her  mother. 


Earl  Jones,  of  the  Enlarging  Department,   has 
left  the  company  to  enter  Boston  Tech. 


Olive  Little,  of  the  Finishing  Department,  and 
Walter  Lambe,  of  the  Advertising  Department, 
were  united  in  marriage  Sept.  18th  at  the  par.sonage 
of  the  Lake  Avenue  Baptist  Church,  by  Dr.  A.  W. 
Beaven.  Miss  Mabel  Gummier,  a  friend  of  the 
bride,  was  bridesmaid,  and  Eldin  Lambe,  brother 
of  the  groom,  was  best  man.

November  is  a  good  month  for  hunting.  It's  a 
fine  season  for  Suggestions,  tool  Everyone  is  back 
from  his  vacation  and  feeling  good  and  peppy. 
Look  around  for  you  will  probably  see  things  in  a 
different  light  and  possibly  see  some  easier  way 
in  which  some  task  can  be  accomplished.  Sugge.s- 
tion  blanks  are  handy.  Just  put  your  suggestion 
in  one  of  the  printed  Suggestion  Envelopes  and 
we  will  take  care  of  it.  A  good  chance  for  you  to 
make  money.  W'rite  down  that  idea  and  send  it 
in  now — one  Suggestion  a  month. 


The  sympathy  of  the  Finishing  Department  is 
extended  to  Myrtle  Randall  in  the  recent  loss  of 
her  mother. 


Moving  day  doesn't  always  come  May  1st. 

November  will  see  the  Tabulating  Department 
transfer  its  activities  from  the  13th  to  the  9th  floor. 

This  isn't  because  of  rent  profiteering,  as  we  have 
the  same  landlord.  It's  because  we  are  offered 
more  elbow  room. 


The  girls  of  the  K.O.R.C.  wish  to  thank  Messrs. 
Strowger,  Bartholomew  and  Van  Dusen  for  coaching 
their  bowling  party  October  6th. 

Flossie  Mann  and  Pearl  Lyons,  of  the  Sales 
Department,  15th  floor,  have  taken  advantage  of 
Leap  Year  and  left  the  Kodak  Office,  as  well  as  The 
Kodak  City.  Pearl  was  married  October  6th  to 
Mr.  James  Bogan  of  Brooklyn,  New  York,  where 
she  will  take  up  her  domestic  duties,  while  Flossie 
will  make  her  future  home  in  Saginaw,  Michigan, 
with  her  husband,  Mr.  William  Moore.  We 
certainly  wish  them  loads  of  happiness  and  miss 
them  just  heaps. 


Clara  Donsbach,  of  the  Finishing  Department, 
was  absent  for  five  weeks  on  account  of  illness,  but 
is  now  able  to  be  with  us  again.

were  fortune  tellers  and  everything  to  d'ivert  one's 
mind.  Then,  too,  there  were  some  good  snapshots 
taken  in  the  pouring  rain,  which  we  believe  some 
"feat."

THE    STOCK   DEPARTMENT'S    CLAMBAKE 

Saturday,  October  '•2nd,  was  a  big  day  for  the 
people  of  the  Stock  Department  Office,  and  the 
honorable  wives  of  the  fortunate  ones,  which 
included  the  bride,  Mrs.  John  R.  Goodwin. 

Upon  the  sound  of  the  1-2  o'clock  whistle  every- 
body was  ready  to  journey  lakeward  to  David 
Solmes'  summer  home  at  Summerville,  where  our 
most  able  chef,  Charlie  Howard,  had  a  clambake 
in  the  niaking.  Talk  about  your  eats — everything 
that  you  could  wish  for,  and  more  than  fourteen 
could  take  care  of.  This  can  be  proven  by  the  fact 
that  it  took  us  until  4:00  p.  m.to  do  away  with  what 
was  set  before  us.  After  everything  had  been  cleaned 
up  the  remainder  of  the  afternoon  was  enjoyed  in 
dancing  to  the  music  furnished  by  one  of  the  guests. 

Did  we  have  a  good  time.^  Look  at  the  picture — 
that  tells  the  story.  Many  thanks  to  Charlie 
Howard.

Robert  C  Bond  and  John  M.  Schaefer,  "chums" 
both  from  the  Tool  Department,  gave  us  some  sur- 
prise when  they  came  in  all  smiles  and  full  of 
enthusiasm,  saying,  "Well,  we  have  joined  the  Navy 
and  leave  for  Buffalo  at  once,  sorry  to  give  you  such 
short  notice,  but  can  not  help  it  now  as  they  want 
us  to  go  at  once."  Boys,  we  wish  you  the  best  of 
luck  in  vour  new  adventure. 


Dear  Friends  at  the  Premo — Just  a  few  lines  to 
let  you  know  that  I  received  a  clipping  from  the 
Kodak  Magazine  in  regard  to  my  leaving,  and  I 
want  to  thank  all  who  wish  me  good  luck.  As  I  said 
before,  I  will  always  have  a  good  word  for  the  Kodak 
Company,  as  I  have  always  been  treated  fine  by 
them.  I  am  feeling  fine  and  can't  kick,  and  I  like 
my  work  first  rate.  Detroit  is  a  wonderful  city  and 
both  myself  and  my  wife  like  it  here.  I  give  all  my 
friends  and  acquaintances  at  the  Premo  my  kindest 
regards,  and  a  line  from  any  of  you  would  be  greatly 
appreciated.  I  remain  as  ever,  Elmer  L.  Krapp, 
1342  East  Canfield,  Detroit,  Michigan.

LOUIS  C.  WHEELER 

Do  you  ever  wonder  why  some  meiijget  ahead? 
Why  are  they  selected  for  the  better  jobs?  Did  you 
ever  hear  of  a  man  landing  a  good  job  in  life  without 
preparing  the  way  by  persistent  study  to  learn  just 
a  bit  more  about  his  job  each  day? 

If  you  want  a  living  example  of  the  truth  of  this, 
consider  Louis  C.  Wheeler,  Premo  Employment 
Manager  and  Safety  Supervisor.  As  one  of  a  family 
of  ten  children,  it  was  neces.sary  that  he  "chip  in  and 
help;"  so  at  the  age  of  ten,  he  was  sent  by  his 
parents  to  the  country  to  work  for  his  board,  cloth- 
ing and  the  privilege  of  attending  school.  Wheeler, 
however,  saw  very  little  of  school  during  the  two 
years  he  worked  on  this  farm,  because  of  the  great 
distance  from  the  farm  to  the  schoolhouse. 

But  fate  decreed  that  yoimg  Wheeler  was  not  to 
become  a  farmer.  One  of  his  older  brothers,  then 
working  in  the  camera  factory  of  Frank  A.  Brownell 
(now  the  Camera  Works,  Eastman  Kodak  Com- 
pany), wrote  him  that  Rochester  offered  an  excellent 
opportunity  for  an  ambitious  boy  to  get  ahead;  so 
being  of  the  ambitious  type,  Louis  spent  many 
hours  a  day  running  errands,  selling  papers  and 
doing  little  odd  jobs  to  enable  him  to  come  from  his 
home  in  Ohio  to  Rochester.  In  early  May,  1895,  he 
first  saw  The  Kodak  City. 

Louis  had  little  trouble  getting  a  job  at  the 
Bro^viiell  factory  as  errand  boy  at  $'■2. 50  a  week. 
Later  on  a  better  chance  was  offered  him  in  the 
Leather  Case  department,  under  Vincent  Zick,  who 
is  still  at  the  Camera  Works.  At  this  work  he 
learned  to  make  cases,  stitching  them  by  hand.  On 
the  adoption  of  machinery  to  replace  the  handwork 
on  cases,  he  was  transferred  to  the  Assembling  De- 
partment where  he  assembled  cameras  and  also 
kept  record  of  the  time  cards  on  his  floor. 

In  1900,  Frank  Boughton,  Superintendent  of  the 
Rochester  Optical  Company  (now  the  Premo  Works) 


offered  him  a  position  at  shutter  making  and  he  was 
on  this  job  when  the  plant  was  taken  over  by  the 
Eastman  Kodak  Company  in  1903.  When  a  new 
man  was  needed  to  take  charge  of  the  focusing  and 
fitting  department,  Wlieeler  was  chosen  for  the 
position,  not  only  because  of  his  complete  knowledge 
of  the  work,  but  also  for  his  evidenced  desire  to 
"get  there"  by  hard  work  and  study. 

It  is  the  man  who  has  grown  and  is  still  learning 
who  is  asked  to  shoulder  responsibility;  so  when  the 
Employment  and  Service  Department  here  at 
Premo  was  in  need  of  a  reliable  and  competent  man, 
Louis  was  again  asked  to  advance  to  a  better  posi- 
tion. He  is  also  chairman  of  our  Shop  Safety  Com- 
mittee as  well  as  Editor  of  the  Premo  section  of  the 
Kodak  Magazine.  Other  work,  such  as  sanitary 
inspection,  packing,  shipping,  stock  records  and 
management  of  the  lunch  room,  comes  under  his 
jurisdiction. 

And  now  you  may  ask,  "How  did  Wheeler  work 
his  way  up  without  an  education?"  There  is  only 
one  answer  to  such  a  question,  but  one  secret  to 
success  in  this  world,  and  the  whole  idea  is  summed 
up  in  these  few  words : 

When  a  man  stops  learning,  he  stops  growing. 


PREMO' S  WOMAN  EMPLOYEE  LONGEST  IN 
SERVICE 

Polly  Hamlin,  of  the  Leather  Case  Department 
was  adopted  by  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company 
in  1903,  when  the  Rochester  Optical  Works  -was 
taken  over.  Miss  Hamlin  started  to  work  at 
camera  covering  in  1895  and  has  been  continuously 
employed  at  the  one  line  of  work,  covering 
cameras  and  case  making.  She  has  a  splendid 
recorfl.

(       LOUIS  KALM  BACKER 

Louis  Kalmbacher,  Assistant  Foreman  of  the 
Covering  Department,  is  an  expert  when  it  comes 
to  spreading  glue.  He  got  his  start  at  camera 
covering  as  a  youngster  way  back  in  1888  when  he 
worked  in  the  old  Bee  Hive  Building  on  Aqueduct 
Street.  Louis  has  stuck  to  glue  ever  since,  and  is 
hanging  up  a  splendid  record. 

Louis  takes  no  chances  with  the  street  cars.  He 
lives  in  the  extreme  northern  part  of  the  city, 
but  he  always  walks  to  work.  This  means  starting 
a  half  hour  earlier  than  he  would  have  to  if  he 
came  on  a  car,  but  Louis  is  glad  to  do  it  and  he 
always  gets  here  on  time.

her  best  wishes  to  us  all. 


"Lem"  Hosford  of  the  Cabinet  Department  when 
asking  to  be  excused  for  a  few  days  so  he  could 
attend  the  Hemlock  Fair,  said,  "By  heck,  I  haven't 
missed  one  of  those  fairs  in  thirty  years." 

We  are  glad  to  have  back  with  us  Lena  Latta,  of

The  first  annual  dance  of  the  Premo  Club  was 
held  Friday  evening,  October  22.  Being  a  masquer- 
ade dance,  many  pretty  and  novel  costumes  were 
in  evidence.  Prizes  were  awarded  ladies  and  gentle- 
men for  the  prettiest  and  most  comic  costumes. 
Refreshments  were  served  and  music  was  furnished 
by  the  Premo  Club  Orchestra,  consisting  of  six 
pieces.  About  70  couples  were  in  the  grand  march 
and  they  were  finally  led  to  the  witch  camp  where 
their  fortimes  were  told. 

Sucli  a  good  time  was  had  that  the  program  was 
finished  before  they  knew  it  and  it  was  time  to  travel 
home.  The  common  yell  was  "Don't  forget  the 
next  dance  on  November  19."

by  the  Employment  and  Service  Department  at  the 
home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wni.  Gerstner.  146  Turpin

rain  which  lasted  all  day  and  evening,  fourteen  of  the 
employees  left  the  Works  at  5:30  P.  M..  transporta- 
tion being  furnished  by  Jennie  Walzer,  Joseph  Isaac 
and  Louis  Wheeler  who  loaned  their  time  and  autos 
to  transport  the  crowd  tluongh  the  severe  rainstorm. 
They  were  soon  at  the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Gerstner  where  Margaret  Kreckman,  Mrs.  C. 
Patterson  and  Mrs.  A.  MacXally  prepared  the 
roast.  ^Ir.  Gerstner  anticipating  that  the  afl'air 
would  have  to  be  held  indoors  had  his  cellar  prettily 
decorated  with  flags  and  bunting  and  set  up  with  a 
stove  and  table  which  made  an  ideal  Rathskeller  for 
just  such  an  outing.  After  all  had  had  enough  to 
eat,  games  were  played  and  fortunes  told  by  Mrs. 
Rebecca  Clair,  after  which  all  join-neyed  to  the 
music  room,  where  they  were  entertained  until  a 
late  hour.  They  wish  to  thank  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Gerst-

ANOTHER  FLAG  NAILED  TO  THE  MAST  OF 

SUCCESS 

It  seems  to  be  inevitable^  that  the  things  the 
Camera  Works  attempt  go  far  beyond  the  expecta- 
tions of  the  brightest  optimist,  whether  it  be  work  or 
pleasure.  The  recent  drive  for  membership  of  the 
Recreation  Club  was  no  exception  to  the  rule,  and, 
while  we  are  not  boasting  of  our  infallibility  in  any 
respect,  nevertheless,  we  are  proud  of  our  record 
in  drives,  whether  they  are  for  Liberty  Loans,  Red 
Cross,  Community  Chest,  Thrift  Stamps,  or  Em- 
ployees Clubs.  It  only  proves  that  the  co-operative 
spirit  we  possess  is  paying  dividends  in  efficient 
organization  for  the  material  benefit  of  Managers 
and  Employees. 

The  ruling  last  May  issued  by  the  company,  re- 
garding the  matching  of  dollar  for  dollar  raised  by 
the  employees  for  Athletic  and  Social  Activities, 
did  much  to  encourage  and  foster  the  idea  of  a 
permanent  Recreation  Club.  The  physical  impos- 
sibilities of  the  Camera  Works  possessing  outdoor 
tracks  and  diamonds  can  not  be  overcome  as  present 
conditions  stand,  and  unlike  Kodak  Park,  the 
possession  of  an  assembly  hall  has  been  very  vague. 
With  the  Recreation  Club  established,  however,  the 
future  may  hold  in  store  something  more  tangible  in 
the  way  of  accommodation,  and  tiie  more  we  pull 
together,  the  stronger  and  more  efficient  our  Club 
will  become. 

The  temporary  organization  formed  for  the  pur- 
pose of  encouraging  athletics,  has  done  wonders,  and 
has  had  many  an  obstacle  to  surmount.  We  have 
got  a  good  start,  having  a  representative  Ba.seball 


Team,  several  Department  Teams,  two  Girls' 
Basketball  Teams,  an  Indoor  Baseball  League,  a 
main  Bowling  Team,  a  Bowling  League,  a  Tennis 
Team,  a  Football  squad  and  the  nucleus  of  a  Cricket 
Team.  We  have  had  dances  and  parties  and 
tournaments,  and  all  this,  as  before  mentioned  by  a 
temporary  organization!  Now  let's  see  how  much 
better  we  can  do  things  with  an  established  Club, 
governed  by  a  constitution  and  duly  elected 
officers. 


Art  Burchard  could  have  told  the  Office  baseball 
team  that  Rutan's  famous  Brownies  were  fire  eaters 
when  it  came  to  the  diamond  and  baseball; 
Burchard's  team  put  up  a  good  fight,  but  the 
Brownies'  team  was  too  strong  for  them,  scoring 
a  victory  of  ten  to  eight. 


The  cycle  of  outdoor  amusements  relating  to  the 
social  order  of  things  has  now  turned  to  Sausage 
and  Corn  Roasts,  and  the  girls  in  the  Brownie  Cov- 
ering Department  evidently  started  the  ball  rolling 
in  that  direction.  Last  month  Isabel  W^aser 
invited  several  girls  to  the  home  of  her  sister,  Mrs. 
Wells,  on  the  Britton  Road,  where  a  goodly  spread 
of  sausages  and  corn  awaited  them.  They  chose 
for  their  environment  the  corn  field.  No  record  is 
available  as  to  the  frolics  of  uninvited  mice,  but 
several  burned  fingers  resulted  from  "sausage 
snatching,"  which  was  part  of  the  fun.  Ed.  King  of 
the  Main  Office  was  chief  cook,  and  Ed.  Freher  was 
commandeered  as  the  Official  Photographer.  Every- 
one expressed  their  appreciation  of  the  good  time 
they  had,  and  particularly  to  Isabel  and  herjsister.

JAMES  LOVE 

Here's  to  you,  Jim,  and  may  you  be  with  us  until 
the  clock  strikes  thirteen,  and  then  we'll  all  be  out 
of  luck. 

Possibly  the  most  familiar  figure  in  the  tool 
room — at  least  among  the  older  employees  in  point 
of  service — is  James  Love.  Jim — as  the  boys  call 
him — has  just  attained  the  age  of  7.3  years  "young," 
and  the  word  young  is  not  a  joke  either.  Those  of 
us  who  have  seen  Jim  do  his  famous  Buck  and  Wing 
dance,  have  often  coveted  his  remarkable  energy 
and  vitality. 

Jim  started  on  his  career  as  a  machinist  and  tool 
maker  in  a  little  old  shanty — long  since  gone  to 
oblivion — known  by  the  name  of  Dillinghurst's 
Gun  Shop,  situated  on  the  corner  of  Main  and  Water 
Streets.  That  was  in  the  days  of  1865,  >vhen 
Father  Rochester  was  just  growing  into  manhood. 
Jim's  next  move  was  to  the  N.  Y.  C.  Railroad  shop 
at  Brown  Street,  where,  by  the  way,  he  worked  with 
his  chum's  father,  Mr.  Frank  Watkey,  Sr. 

It  was  in  1892  that  Jim  first  became  acquainted 
with  the  Eastman  Company.  The  Hawk-Eye 
factory  has  grown  out  of  an  old  time  building 
occupied  by  the  Photo  Materials  Company  which 
featured  the  manufacture  of  cameras  and  supplies. 
Here  Jim  worked  with  Charlie  Speidel  an(l  Jack 
Robertson.  Those  were  wild  days  according  to  all 
evidence — days  before  the  onslaught  of  prohibition- 
ists. Jim  could  tell  some  great  stories  of  how  the 
"gang"  behaved  in  tho.se  days. 

The  older  friends  of  Jim  presented  liini  with  a 
box  of  cigars  as  a  token  of  their  regard,  whereupon 
Jim  told  how,  when  he  was  a  stripling,  he  always 
hoped  to  live  to  be  seventy-five  and  now  by  golly, 
he  hopes  to  be  with  us  at  ninety — and  so  say  all  of  us. 


An  informal  rece]:)tion  was  given  in  honor  of  Mrs. 
Henrietta  Aiken  by  the  girls  of  the  Lens  Insjicction 
Department  at  the  home  of  Catherine  Shoman. 

After  about  nine  years  of  service  in  the  employ  of 
the  Camera  Works,  Mrs.  .\iken  leaves  to  make  her 
home  in  Chicago.  "Nettie"  was  a  good  pal  anfl  will 
be  greatly  missed  by  her  host  of  friends. 


BOWLLXG 

The  Bowling  League  of  the  Camera  Works  is  well 
under  way  at  this  date  of  writing,  and  the  season 
promises  to  be  an  enjoyable  one.  The  eight  teams 
comprising  the  League  are  pretty  equally  matched, 
and  great  interest  is  being  displayed  among  the 
bowlers  for  high  scores.  The  ("aptains  are  as 
follows:

The  league  meets  at  the  Genesee  Hall  each  Friday 
at  eight  o'clock  practicing  until  8:30,  when  the 
regular  scheduled  games  start.  Chas.  Collins, 
Charlie  Rogers  and  Herbert  Thorpe  comprise  the 
advisory  committee.  Frank  Bisnett  is  Secretary 
and  Wm.  Stark,  Treasurer. 


The  eight  captains  of  the  league  met  to  discuss 
the  formation  of  the  main  team  to  play  in  the 
Eastman  Kodak  League.  Fred  Brehm  explained 
that  the  team  this  year  would  be  chosen  on  the 
recommendation  of  the  eight  captains  of  the  Camera 
League.  Ballots  were  cast  to  this  effect,  the  results 
showing  the  following  line-up  for  the  big  five.

MARGARET  WILLIAMSON 

We  were  just  in  time  to  see  the  decorations  adorning 
the  desk  of  Margaret  Williamson,  and,  after  a  fleal 
of  persuasion  we  enticed  Margaret  to  stand  up  and 
"be  took."  Billie  Lawrence  had  better  look  to  his 
laurels  as  a  "desk  decorator,"  for  by  all  appear- 
ances, someone  in  the  Purchasing  Department  has 
been  taking  a  correspondence  course  in  the  art  of 
kidding. 

Never  mind,  Margaret,  we  noticed  a  very  pretty 
electric  lamp  among  the  bric-a-brac,  and  you  know 
how  happy  we  are  to  be  happy  with  you  and  the 
lucky  fellow,  whoever  he  may  be. 


Keep  your  eye  on  the  Camera  Works  Soccer 
Team!  Our  team  is  captained  by  Jimmie  Gordon 
of  the  Buffing  Room  and  several  native-born  sons 
are  making  splendid  progress  in  the  game.  The 
team  has  linked  up  with  the  New  York  North 
Western  League  and  our  boys  hope  to  make  a  very 
creditable  showing,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  Roch- 
ester has  several  first-class  Elevens.  We  hav'e,  to 
our  credit,  victories  over  Kodak  Park,  and  the 
game  with  Hawk-Eye  resulted  in  a  win  of  eight 
goals  to  three. 

Get  interested  in  this  sport.  It's  fast  and  excit- 
ing. Jimmie  or  Bill  Mostyn — Press  room,  will  be 
glad  to  give  you  the  dope. 


The  Covering  Department  held  its  fourth 
annual  sausage  roast  at  Gussie  Bornkessel's  summer 
home  at  AVindsor  Beach.  The  Committee  in  charge 
of  the  sjjorts  and  arrangements  provided  a  very 
complete  program.  Prizes  were  won  by  the  fol- 
lowing people:

DOROTHY  WHITCOMB 

.\ge,  9  months 

We  haven't  to  date  published  any  baby  pictures 
in  the  Camera  Works  Section,  prmcipally  owing  to 
lack  of  space,  but  we  positively  couldn't  pass  up 
this  one!  George  Whitcomb  is  the  proud  father 
(and  also  the  photographer). 

One  of  these  days,  when  we  are  not  pressed  for 
space,  we  will  run  a  Baby  Competition,  and  then 
we'll  show  'em  "what's  what!" 

This  baby's  name  is  Dorothy,  and  for  the  age  of 
just  over  nine  months  is  a  very  fine  "wee  bairn." 


KODAK  ASSEMBLY  PICNIC  AT  JOHNSON'S  GROVE 


THE   KODAK   MAGAZINE 


^29 


We  understand  that  Hal  Baldwin  is  fast  becoming 
a  real  musician  and  has  astonished  the  other  mem- 
bers of  the  band  with  his  technique  and  expression. 
We  see  a  possible  leader  of  a  Camera  Works  band 
in  Hal — should  such  au  organization  ever  be  formed. 


The  Crease  and  Cover  Department  held  their 
Seventh  Annual  Picnic  at  Manitou  Beach,  being 
conveyed  there  by  automobiles.  A  practice  ball 
game  was  played  whilst  awaiting  dinner.  At  '2:00 
o'clock  the  welcome  sound  of  Odenbach's  dinner 
bell  was  beard,  and  everybody  won  the"'luncheon 
dash!"  The  weather  man  was  evidently  peeved  at  a 
picnic  butting  into  the  sausage  roast  season,  and  he 
let  fall  a  considerable  amount  of  rain.  The  boys 
and  girls  adjourned  to  the  dance  hall,  and  every- 
thing was  as  good  as  the  efScient  committee  could 
arrange.    Frank  McCarthy  was  general  chairman. 


Fred  Ruhe  will  go  down  in  history  as  a  first-class 
entertainer  in  the  sausage  roast  line,  if  reports  are 
true.  Fred  had  "the  bunch"  from  the  Creasing 
Department  down  at  his  farm  in  Henrietta,  and 
he  showed  the  boys  some  real  farm  life.  Of  par- 
ticular interest  was  his  eight  per  cent,  cellar!  Fred's 
horse  was  also  highly  spirited,  as  it  ran  off  on  a  five 
himdred  yard  dash  while  Fred  was  demonstrating 
how  to  dispose  of  cider! 

John  Braim  passed  out  the  dogs  at  the  hot  stand. 


The  Etched  Plate  combined  with  the  Main  Office 
Engraving  Department  in  an  outing  at  Point 
Pleasant  last  month.  Dinner  and  supper  were 
served  at  the  hotel,  and  great  excitement  was 
caused  by  somebody  donating  two  dozen  bottles  of 
real  home  brew!  The  Etched  Plate  played  a  ball 
game  with  the  Engraving,  resulting  in  the  latter 
winning  by  a  score  of  12  to  8.  Autos  were  provided 
for  the  bunch  and  the  affair  was  voted  a  complete 
success.     Bill  Yax  had  charge  of  the  arrangements. 


Most  fish  stories  are  apt  to  be  doubted,  but  the 
picture  below  proves  that  John  Smith  is  a  fisherman 
of  the  first  water!  Jolm  and  his  good  wife  spent 
their  vacation  at  Xewborrow  Lake,  Ontario,  Canada, 
and,  although  John  omitted  to  send  the  editor 
actual  samples  of  his  fish,  nevertheless  we  must 
admit  our  jealousy  at  his  remarkable  catch. 


BASEBALL 

The  baseball  game  between  the  Brownies  and 
the  Office  was  akin  to  the  "last  rose  of  summer,"  in- 
so-far  as  the  game  was  the  last  before  Indoor  Base- 
ball starts.  It  almost  appeared  as  if  the  rooters  had 
saved  their  enthusiasm  all  the  season  for  this 
particular  game,  and  the  girls  were  especially 
demonstrative  in  their  cheering. 

The  game  was  played  on  October  9th  at  Genesee 
Valley  Park.  Rutan  pitched  for  the  Brownies  and 
Miles  for  the  OfEce.  Rutan  gave  five  hits  and 
struck  out  fourteen  men.  Miles  allowed  nine 
hits  and  struck  out  six  of  the  Brownies.  A 
fine  example  of  fielding  was  displayed  by  Ernie 
White,  and  Freidenwald  boosted  the  Brownie  score 
by  his  splendid  hitting.  A  remarkable  feature  of 
the  game  was  that  no  bases  on  balls  were  given  by 
either  pitcher.  The  score,  after  a  period  of  one  hour 
and  a  half,  was  Brownie — eight.  Office — two  in  the 
ninth.  It  was  a  good  game  and  was  attended  by  a 
large  crowd. 


The  boys  and  girls  in  the  Stock  Record  Office  are 
indebted  to  Pauline  Stockslader  for  her  efficiency  in 
keeping  the  office  at  an  even  temperature.  Pauline 
seems  to  have  a  special  job  opening  and  closing  the 
windows  as  the  weather  requires. 


We  have  received  the  following  letter,  with  a 
request  that  it  be  published  in  this  magazine: 

"I  wish  to  extend  my  sincere  thanks  and  gratitude 
to  the  Medical  Department  of  the  Eastman  Kodak 
Co.,  and  especially  to  Dr.  Sa-nyer  and  the  Visiting 
Nurses,  for  the  kindness  and  attention  given  me 
during  my  recent  illness." 

Signed:  M.\rguerite  Mathews. 


The  Camera  Works  was  well  represented  in  the 
Company  Golf  Tournament,  played  at  Genesee 
Valley  Park.  Saturday.  October  9th.  and  several 
of  our  boys  made  good  scores.  It  has  been  a  com- 
mon error  to  suppose  that  golf  was  a  "past-time" 
especially  designed  by  the  Scotch  for  those  in  the 
"Autumn"  of  life.  Some  of  our  "Springers,"  how- 
ever, such  as  John  Henry  and  John  Heaphy  took  ex- 
ception to  this  fallacy.  We  guess  the\-  are  right, 
for  it's  a  man-sized  job  to  putt  the  pill  around  an 
18-hole  golf  course.

THE   KODAK  MAGAZINE 


AN  OPEN  LETTER  TO  OUR  NEW  KODAK 
WORKERS! 

Hello  there,  Mr.  or  Miss  New  Employee! 

How  are  things  going? 

A  little  strange! 

Well,  they're  sure  to  be  at  first,  but  you'll  soon 
get  to  know  the  job  and  the  people  working  with 
you! 

What!  You  haven't  made  many  acquaintances 
here  yet? 

Why?  Introduce  yourself.  There's  a  jolly  good 
bunch  of  boys  and  girls  at  the  Camera  Works  who'll 
be  tickled  skinny  to  help  you  know  the  ropes. 

You  know.  Buddy,  what  you  have  heard  about 
the  Camera  Works  spirit?  Well,  it's  true,  all  of  it, 
and  then  some !  You  get  acquainted  with  a  bunch 
and  you'll  stick. 

Ask  your  Foreman  the  whys  and  wherefores. 
He'll  tell  you — that's  his  job,  and  he  is  not  a  bit 
stuck  on  himself  either.  Just  a  regular  guy  and 
anxious  to  see  you  make  good. 

I'll  tell  you  a  good  way  to  wedge  into  the  sporting 
side  of  our  Factory  doings — join  the  Recreation 
Club.  Costs  you,  Mary,  fifty  cents  a  year,  and  you, 
Jolin,  one  dollar.  About  two  thousand  Kodak 
makers  at  State  Street  belong  to  it,  and  if  you  can't 
get  your  share  of  amusements  out  of  a  club  with  a 
membership  of  this  size,  you  deserve  to  be  lonely. 

Oh !  I  almost  forgot  to  put  you  wise  to  one  import- 
ant thing  about  us — although  I  guess  you  must  have 
noticed  it  by  now.  What  do  you  think  the  "man 
in  the  street"  calls  us?     Listen!     "Safety  Bugs." 

I've  been  here  for  ten  years  or  more  and  have 
never  heard  anyone  working  here  take  exception  to 
our  title.  Why,  we  boast  of  Safety  as  our  middle 
name!  It's  almost  as  familiar  to  us  as  the  word 
Kodak.  We  tried  to  impart  it  in  all  our  actions, 
and  believe  me,  it  pays.  Remember  the  little  meet- 
ing you  were  called  to,  up  on  the  seventh  floor, 
where  the  swell  offices  are?  That  was  our  Safety 
Inspector  who  told  you  the  rules  of  the  Factory. 
Not  a  bit  stand-offish  was  he?  That's  his  job  to 
make  this  factory  safe  for  you  to  work  in,  and  its  up 
to  you  to  come  across  fifty-fifty  and  then  we'll  feel 
that  no  accidents  can  haunt  us. 

I'll  wager  the  Fire  Drill  had  you  guessing  too!  It 
almost  seemed  foolisli  at  first,  but  after  you  got 
thinking  what  would  happen  if  a  real  fire  got  under 
way — and  you  didn't  know  whether  to  run  to  the 
door,  holler  for  help,  or  crawl  under  the  bench, 
it  doesn't  appear  as  foolish  as  it  looks.  We  are 
mighty  proud  of  what  the  management  has  done 
for  us  in  this  particular  line — and  a  good  many 
more  too,  and  we  want  you  to  feel  the  same  way 
about  things  as  we  do. 

It  takes  a  little  time  before  a  fellow  feels  his  feet 
and  then  there's — oh! — what  do  you  think  of  the 
dining  room?     I  guess  it  was  a  revelation  to  you. 

You  know  how  it  digs  into  a  dollar  bill  to  get  a 
bite  up  town.  Here,  it's  everything  served  at  cost 
and  cleaner  than  a  whistle. 

Did  you  ever  figure  out  the  space  such  a  dining- 
room  takes  up?  Room  enough  there  for  a  big 
manufacturing  department,  but  it's  given  to  us  just 
to  eat  in.  Remember  when  we  had  to  rluck  around 
the  corner  to  a  saloon  and  scramble  for  a  table, 
adorned  with  pewter  spoons  and  crumbly  piles  of 
bread?     Them  were  not  the  happy  days. 

Gee!     I  could  go  on  and  tell  you  so  much  dope 


about  what  we  do  in  this  factory,  but  you  know  how 
editors  are!  Just  because  they've  got  a  soft  job — 
and  nothing  to  do  but  stick  their  feet  up  on  the 
desk  and  smoke  cigarettes — they  grab  a  pair  of 
shears  and  cut  out  about  half  the  good  stuff  just  for 
the  want  of  exercise.  Scared  some  good  writer  will 
get  their  job,  I  suppose. 

Well,  see  you  at  noon.  If  I  don't  see  you  first, 
come  right  up  and  get  acquainted.  I'll  put  you 
wise  to  a  host  of  good  things. 

So  long,  Stick  to  it. 
Yours  to  a  cinder, 

TOM. 


"JACK"  WALSH 

One  of  our  Live  Wires 

Those  of  us  who  have  had  the  fortune  to  be  at  the 
Camera  Works  since  1895,  will  undoubtedly  re- 
member J.  H.  Moise,  who  at  that  time  had  charge 
of  the  Repair  Department.  Mr.  Moi.se  is  the 
proprietor  of  stores  in  New  York  City  and  Brooklyn, 
known  by  the  name  of  "Kodak  Hospitals."  He  has 
for  his  motto,  "In  today — out  tomorrow."  He  is 
one  of  the  oldest  employees  who  visits  the  Main 
Office  twice  a  year,  when  he  renews  acquaintances, 
and  leaves  a  substantial  order  for  camera  parts. 


The  Shutter  Room  is  recording  its  full  share  of 
marriages,  and  we  are  pleased  to  announce  that 
Alice  Ovenberg  was  married  on  Monday,  October 
18th.     Best  wishes  Alice. 


Irene  McGraw  was  married  to  Clarence  Wick  of 
the  Crease  and  Cover  Department  on  October  the 
19th.    Congratulations  to  you  both.

HORACE  BLACKWELL 
Vice-President,  Rochester  Cricket  Team 

Possibly  the  least  known  sport  connected  with 
our  activities  in  this  plant  is  Cricket.  For  some 
reason  unknown,  this  form  of  amusement  has  never 
been  popular  in  this  part  of  the  States,  although 
Philadelphia  and  several  southern  cities  boast  of 
first-class  Cricket  teams.  The  one  organization  of 
its  kind  in  the  city  has  its  field  at  Genesee  Valley 
Park  and  the  game  is  certainly  interesting  enough 
to  spend  a  Saturday  afternoon  watching  the  boys 
play. 

The  game  is  somewhat  similar  to  baseball  only 
that  there  are  eleven  players,  two  batting,  and  two 
bowling  in  the  same  innings.  Jimmie  Fielding  of 
the  Tin  Shop  and  Horace  Blackwell  of  the  Leather 
Cutting  Department  can  tell  you  all  the  ins  and 
outs  of  the  game.  Get  in  touch  with  them  through 
the  factorv  mail  svstem. 


OBITUARY 

We  regret  to  annoimce  the  death  of  George 
Armstrong,  who  has  been  with  us  quite  a  long  time, 
working  in  the  Press  Department.  Frankfort  Lodge, 
No.  579  I.  O.  O.  F.  had  charge  of  the  funeral  which 
was  conducted  from  the  Asbury  Methodist  Church. 
The  following  boys  from  the  press  room  acted  as 
bearers.  William  Thompson,  Martin  Ryan,  Fred 
Ross,  Frank  Bisnett,  Roy  Scott,  and  Alfred  Snyder. 

Sympathy  is  extended  to  the  relatives  from  his 
many  friends. 


THE  RECREATION  CLUB  DRIVE 

How  do  we  stand  on  membership?  Well,  the 
Department  quotas  came  in  so  fast  that  any  at- 
tempt to  advertise  them  before  this  date  was  beyond 
consideration. 

The  officers  of  the  club  were  called  together  to 
discuss  the  ways  and  means  of  conducting  a  drive 
for  members,  and  it  was  decided  to  appoint  them  as 
captains. 

The  following  were  the  departments  assigned  to 
them. 

Mrs.  Kane — 7th  and  1st  floor  offices.  Engineering, 
Inspection,  Lacquer,  Factory  Stock  Record,  Lens 
Inspection. 

Frank  Reynolds — All  Superintendents,  Foremen 
and  Specials. 

Leslie  Hammond — Janitors,  Salvage,  Press,  Store, 
all  Maintenance  Departments,  Foreign  Shipping  and 
Woodworking  Departments. 

Harold  Marson — Tool,  Lathe,  Etched  plate.  Die 
Casting,  Finishing,  Photostat,  Riveting,  and  all 
Buffing  and  Dipping  Departments. 


Wm.  Stark — Bellows  and  Leather,  all  Brownie 
Departments,  Shutter  Machining  and  Assembling, 
Print  and  Paper  Cutting. 

Chas.  Rogers — All  Kodak  Assembling  Depart- 
ments, Crease  and  Cover  Department. 

These  Captains  appointed  in  turn,  a  Lieutenant 
in  each  depatrment.  Fred  W.  Brehm  acted  as 
Advisor  and  Herbert  S.  Thorpe  as  Secretary  and 
Manager.  The  chive  started  at  8:00  A.  M.  Thurs- 
day, September  30th  and  at  noon  of  the  same  day, 
applications  began  to  pour  in  to  Industrial  Rela- 
tions Department.  A  banner  was  proposed  for  the 
first  department  or  departments  under  one  Super- 
intendent reaching  the  100  per  cent,  mark,  and  the 
Tool  Room  earned  for  Arthur  Wallace  the  distinc- 
tion of  "going  over  the  top."  The  Engineering, 
Kodak  Assembling  and  Inspection  Departments 
followed  a  very  close  second,  and  the  S.  O.  S.  for 
"more  applications"  kept  the  telephone  girls  busy 
switching  the  Captains  on  to  the  Secretary. 

The  following  are  the  total  figures  up  to  the  date 
of  writing  this  article  (October  12).  Men  1,573; 
women,  652.     Grand  total  2,225. 

Membership  is  open  at  all  times  to  all  employees 
of  the  Camera  Works.  The  cost — including  the 
official  badge  of  the  Recreation  Club — is  one  dollar 
for  men  and  fifty  cents  for  women.  The  year  ends 
on  September  30th  of  each  year. 

Applications  can  be  obtained  from  Secretary 
pro  tem  H.  S.  Thorpe,  Industrial  Relations 
Department. 


Congratulations  to  George  Simpson  of  the  Wood- 
working Department  on  the  occasion  of  his  marriage 
to  Francis  Kruse,  late  of  the  Shutter  Room.  The 
wedding  took  place  at  the  home  of  the  bride's 
mother  on  Phelps  Avenue,  and  the  happy  couple 
left  for  a  short  honeymoon,  after  which  they  will  reside 
at  Genesee  Park  Boulevard.  The  boys  of  the 
Woodworking  Department  presented  George  with 
a  very  handsome  fifty-four  piece  set  of  silver,  and 
all  of  us  wish  the  bride  and  groom  many  long  j-ears 
of  happiness. 


INDOOR  BASEBALL 

The  winter  season  of  indoor  athljtics  has  an 
auspicious  beginning  in  the  fact  of  a  ten-team 
league  devoted  to  Indoor  Baseball.  S.  J.  O'Conner, 
Suggestion — is  Manager,  and  Exposition  Park  has 
been  secured  for  practice  and  match  games.  The 
league  will  run  on  regular  schedule  which  is  being 
prepared  at  this  time  of  writing.  .\n  all-star  team, 
representative  of  the  Camera  Works,  will  be  chosen, 
and  this  organization  will  challenge  other  teams  in 
the  industrial  world.  The  following  are  the 
Managers  of  the  teams. 

H.  Marson  C.  Hohman 

F.  Walsh  J.  Sullivan 
J.  Glcisle  H.  Dennis 
A.  Burcliard  .\.  Weltzer 

G.  Rapp  P.  Petrin 

Last  year  we  had  a  very  successful  six-team 
league,  and  this  year  the  enthusiasm  should  run 
high  as  the  captains  have  proven  their  worth  in 
managing  dei)artmental  teams.  We  will  publish 
from  month  to  month  the  standing  of  the  teams  and 
important  events  as  they  occur. 


HAWK-EYE 

WILBUR  G.  WOODAMS 

Editor 


At  the  Monroe  County  Championship  meet  held 
at  University  Fiekl  on  Saturday,  October  '2nd,  the 
Hawk-Eye  track  team  carried  ofl'  the  two  rehiy 
races  and,  incidentally,  the  two  large  cups  given  the 
winners  of  these  events.  A  team  composed  of 
Fratter,  Authaler,  Vass  and  Lovesky  won  the 
half-mile  relay  in  the  fast  time  of  1  min.  -10  1-5 
sec,  which  is  3-5  sec.  faster  than  that  made  by  the 
crack  Y.  M.  C.  A.  team  in  the  City  Championship 
meet  of  1915.  In  the  ^Medley  Relay,  the  same 
Hawk-Eye  team  made  a  wonderful  showing,  after 
having  had  only  a  few  minutes  rest  between  the 
two  relay  races.  Vass,  the  last  runner  for  Hawk- 
Eye,  nosed  out  tht  University  runner  by  7  yards 
and  won  the  Medley  Relay  for  Hawk-Eye.  Time, 
5  min.  29  2-5  sec. 

Fratter  took  first  place  in  the  100-yard  and  220- 
yard  dashes,  winning  the  former  in  10  2-5  sec. 
and  the  latter  in  23  4-5  sec. 

Authaler  took  fourth  place  in  the  100-yard  dash. 

N'ass  and  Lovesky  took  second  and  third  places 
in  the  440-yard  dash. 

The  Hawk-Eye  team  took  fourth  place  in  the 
meet  with  a  six-man  team  against  the  Old  Timers

ANOTHER  CHAMPIONSHIP 
FOR  HAWK-EYE 

Kodak  supremacy  in  Rochester  industrial  athletic 
circles  rose  to  another  higher  level  in  the  play-off 
for  the  city  industrial  championship.  Not  content 
with  securing  the  "muslin"  in  the  Kodak  League, 
the  Hawk-Eye  management  at  once  challenged  the 
Art  in  Buttons  team  to  play  a  series  of  best-two- 
out-of-three  games  for  the  title.  The  challenge  was 
accepted,  and  the  first  game  was  staged  at  Ritter 
Field  on  Saturday,  September  i5th. 

Art  in  Buttons,  the  champions  of  the  I.  A.  R.  A., 
had  suffered  but  one  defeat  all  season,  while  their 
win  column  totaled  sixteen.  Hawk-Eye  finished 
-  its  league  season  with  a  record  of  thirteen  victories 
and  three  defeats.  On  paper.  Art  in  Buttons 
appeared  to  be  the  stronger:  however,  the  Hawk- 
Eye  boys  found  little  difficulty  in  taking  two 
straight  games  from  the  button-makers. 

"Beany"  Graham,  the  sensation  of  the  I.  A.  R. 
A.,  took  the  mound  against  "Douber"  Marcille 
in  the  initial  contest.  Art  in  Buttons  contributed 
nine  costly  errors  behind  their  star  pitcher,  which 
fact  coupled  with  the  timely  hitting  of  the  Brennan- 
ites  produced  the  0-5  win  for  the  Hawk-Eye. 

The  same  fighting  spirit  that  carried  the  Hawk- 
Eye  players  to  the  topj  of  the  E.  K.  circuit  was  set 
in  motion  the  first  time  they  came  to  bat.  Fox, 
leading  off  for  the  St.  Paul  St.  brancli,  drew  a  pass, 
was  sacrificed  to  .second  by  Levine  and  came 
all  the  way  home  on  the  misplay  of  Weideman's 
tap.  This  run  gave  the  Kodak  Champs  the  desired 
confidence  and  in  the  second  turn  at  bat  our  len.s- 
makers  collected  a  count  of  six. 

Ingleby  produced  a  single  and  advanced  to  tliird 
on  Felerski's  double.  \'an  Lare  singled,  scoring 
Ingleby  and  Felerski.  Three  hits  in  a  row  were 
weakening  to  Graham,  so  much  so  that  he  "muzzled" 
"Douber's"  bunt.  Fox  was  again  passed,  filling 
the  bases.  Dodge  was  unable  to  get  under  Levine's 
sky  offering  and  all  three  men  on  base  counted. 
A  sacrifice  and  a  costly  error  manufactured  the 
sixth  run,  Levine  scoring  on  the  plays. 

The  Hawks  rested  for  the  next  two  innings  and 
then  came  back  with  their  second  wiufl.  With 
two  down  in  the  fifth,  Ingleby  again  singled; 
Felerski  strolled  to  first.  Both  scored  a  little  later 
when  ^'an  Lare  came  through  with  his  second  hit 
of  the  day,  a  slashing  douljle.  From  then  on 
Hawk-P>ye  shifted  from  attack  to  defense  and 
accorded  Marcille  fine  support. 

The  I.  A.  R.  A.  leaders  scored  a  run  in  the  third 
and  one  in  the  sixth  by  bunching  hits.  Their  last 
stand  in  the  ninth  netted  them  three  runs  when 
"Douber,"  seeing  victory  in  sight,  eased  up  and 
gave  the  button  boys  four  hits  and  two  pas.ses. 

The  hero  for  a  day  in  the  first  (Migagement  was 
Harry  ^loore.  Harry  was  nearly  put  out  of  com- 
mission when  "Jerry"  Schiefen  do\e  headlong  into 
his  dining  room  in  reaching  first.  Bruisecl  and 
badly  shaken  up,  Moore  continued  the  game, 
accepting  fourteen  chances  with  but  one  mispla\-.

out  of  the  box.  If  such  was  the  case.  Manager 
Brennan  outguessed  the  Champeney  Terrace  crew. 
He  selected  his  reserve  pitcher,  Norman  Graham, 
to  do  mound  duty  against  his  namesake,  "Beany." 

The  team  gave  "Norm"  the  best  of  support, 
only  one  misplay  being  registered  in  the  error 
column.  This  came  in  the  eighth  and  resulted  in 
the  only  run  allowed  the  button-makers. 

Hawk-Eye  scored  her  first  runs  in  the  fourth, 
registering  two  tallies.  Felerski  singled;  Van  Lare 
managed  to  reach  first  on  a  bone  play;  Prentice's 
infield  line  forced  Felerski  at  third;  Graham  walked. 
Fox  was  an  easy  out,  but  Levine  then  came  across 
with  a  hit  and  both  runners  crossed  the  plate  in 
safety. 

Hawk-Eye  scored  her  final  run  in  the  fifth  after 
one  man  was  down.  Petersen  singled,  Felerski 
strolled  to  first;  Petersen  scored  when  Van  Lare 
hit  for  a  double. 

"Norm"  Graham  held  the  button-boys  to  seven 
hits,  keeping  them  well  scattered.  On  top  of  his 
good  hurling  he  showed  the  world  he  was  some 
"Graham  Cracker"  by  cracking  out  two  hits,  a 
single  and  a  double. 


The  second  game  followed  on  October  '■2nd. 
Moore  being  unable  to  play.  Manager  Brennan 
brought  \'an  Lare  in  from  riglit  field  to  first.  Pren- 
tice filled  the  garden  position.  Dame  Rumor 
had  it  that  A.  in  B.  was  ail  set  to  knock  Marcille 


Mrs.  R.  L.  Gilmore,  of  the  Production  Depart- 
ment, entertained  at  her  home,  101  Flectric  Avenue, 
on  Wednesday,  October  6th.  The  other  girls  of  the 
same  department  were  the  guests  at  what  was 
scheduled  to  be  quite  a  little  "stag"  affair.  Mrs. 
Gilmore  opened  the  evening  with  a  dinner  and 
everything  looked  rosy  for  a  serene  and  quiet 
evening  of  gossip  and  chatter. 

Trouble  always  has  to  "horn  in."  This  time  it 
came  in  the  form  of  Raymond  "Pat"  Mengel  and 
Claude  "Paulia"  Early,  of  the  Production  Depart- 
ment, with  a  j)air  of  kindred  s])irits  in  tow. 
I'libidden,  unannounccti,  uninvited,  and  unafraid 
they  oozed  into  the  party  and  out  again,  but  not 
without  leaving  their  footprints  in  the  form  of 
empty  candy  boxes  and  similar  signs  of  devastation. 
They  danced  and  sang  (the  crowning  insult)  and 
"Pat"  lost  his  spats.  The  invaders  were  finally 
dispersed  and  retreated  with  the  promise  that  they 
would  never  be  .so  impolite  as  to  waddle  into  another 
party  without  the  necessary  credentials.

GIRLS'  BASEBALL  PARTY 

If  you  think  that  the  good  old  game  of  baseball 
does  not  renew  youth,  you  should  have  seen  the 
collection  of  little  girls  and  two  stray  boys  at  Bill 
Schlegel's  house  on  the  night  of  October  8th.  You 
would  hardly  have  associated  the  sleek-haired, 
round-cheeked,  silk-socked  youth,  with  the  dignified 
1st  baseman,  until  he  beamed  on  you  with  that  rare 
smile,  and  everyone  shouted  "Oh,  look  at  Chub," 
meaning  Lois  Kurtz,  and  Sister  Ruth  in  a  baby  blue 
dress  and  a  beflowered  hat  was  just  too  sweet  for 
anything.  The  other  fellow  who  sported  a  pipe 
and  a  jazz  bow,  was  our  friend,  Alice  Gears. 

Two  sweet  dears  in  cunning  white  frocks  proved 
to  be  Grace  Wiemer  and  Ethel  Reinhardt,  and  the 
tall,  serious-eyed,  studious  looking  girl  in  the  serge 
dress  says  of  course  her  right  name  is  Pauline 
Krzywick,  but  her  best  beau  calls  her  Paulie. 

A  Scotch  lassie  in  plaid,  socks  and  a  red  bow,  a 
clown,  and  a  sweet  faced  baby  boy  (the  Mascot, 
Marion  Kurtz),  also  joined  in  the  fun.  Then  there 
was  the  dark  stranger  who  must  have  been  getting 
some  Library  books — her  outfit  was  topped  off 
with  a  Bow  of  Orange  Ribbon.  And  last,  but  not 
least,  Magdalen  Hettel — Student,  Musician  and 
Pitcher — and  the  greatest  of  these  is  the  pitcher. 
The  party  was  a  medley  of  noise,  eats,  drinks,  music, 
and  fun  from  beginning  to  end  and  whoso  envieth 
not  the  Baseball  Girls  knoweth  not  what  she  misses.

OUTDOOR-INDOOR  BASEBALL 

"Jack"  Farrell's  liarrl  hittinjj  Brass  Dei)artnient 
team  came  into  its  own  when  it  defeated  the  clever 
playing  Achromatic  Lens  team  in  the  "world  series" 
for  the  H.  E.  A.  A.  Championship.  It  took  but 
two  games  of  the  schefhiled  three  game  series  to 
show  the  superiority  of  the  first  floor  men. 

The  "world  series"  was  arranged  to  bring  the 
winners  of  the  Eastern  League  in  conflict  with  the 
winners  of  the  Western  League.  Both  teams 
finished  their  schedules  with  seven  wins  and  two 
defeats,  and  entered  the  finals  seemingly  on  even 
terms,  but  the  first  game  showed  that  hitting  the 
ball  square  on  the  nose  is  what  wins  ball  games. 

Martin  Tipple,  the  celebrated  I.  A.  R.  A.  League 
umpire,  handled  the  indicator  l)ehind  the  bat, 
while  James  Weldon.  the  Kodak  Golf  Champion, 
passed  out  the  base  decisions.  The  work  of  both 
officials  was  prai.seworthy  and  added  greatly  in 
making  the  games  interesting. 

Bleier  and  Bleier  performed  the  battery  work  for 
the  Brass  Room.  In  the  first  game  the  third  floor 
boys  were  let  down  with  two  hits,  and  in  the  second 
they  were  able  to  secure  but  four.  Doyle  and 
Bryson  did  the  twirling  for  the  Eastern  League 
champs  and  both  were  unat)le  to  baffle  the  Western 
League  aggregation,  who  produced  hits  when  hits 
counted  for  runs.  The  final  scores  in  favor  of  the 
Brass  men  were  8-3  and  I'-i-e. 

Dwyer,  of  the  Achromatic,  and  Kohlman,  of  the 
Brass,  provided  the  fielding  features  of  the  exhibi- 
tions, while  Burham  and  C.  Bleier,  of  the  Brass 
team,  producefi  the  heavy  hitting. 

The  players  taking  part  in  the  series  follows: 

Achromatic — Dwyer,  Bryson,  Marcille,  Kowalski, 
Scheuch,  McGarrity,  Rosenthal  and  Witz. 

Brass — Burham,  \an  Lare,  Kohlman,  R.  Bleier, 
C.  Bleier,  Gears,  Knapp,  Durkin  and  Freitag. 

Immediately  after  the  second  game.  President 
Vass,  in  behalf  of  the  H.  E.  A.  A.,  presented  the 
members  of  the  winning  team  with  classy  watch 
fobs. 

The  final  standings  of  the  league  are  given

Paul  Witz,  of  the  Single  Achromatic  Lens  Depart- 
ment, has  been  appointed  manager  of  the  Hawk-Eye 
Bowling  team  for  the  coming  season.  The  prospects 
for  a  successful  team  are  good,  with  a  nucleus  of 
last  year's  rollers  to  build  on. 

Trials  for  the  team  were  held  on  the  Genesee 
.\lleys  on  Friday,  October  8th,  and  a  team  will  be 
.selected  from  the  following: 

George  Kosel,  Howard  Werner,  James  Weldon, 
Robert  Witz,  Alexander  Topel.  Walter  Stephany, 
Michael  Becker. 


HAWK-EVE  (OLOMAL  MINSTRELS 

For  several  weeks  past  the  musical  members  of 
the  Hawk-Eye  Athletic  Association  have  been 
rehearsing  under  the  leadership  of  Frank  A.  New- 
man, foreman  of  the  Cleaning  and  Inspecting 
Department,  for  one  of  the  red  letter  events  of  the 
season — the  Hawk-Eye  Colonial  Minstrels. 

Mr.  Newman  has  gathered  about  him  an  array 
of  talent  that  promises  an  evening  of  real  entertain- 
ment. There  seem  to  be  those  among  us,  heretofore 
blooming  unseen,  who  will  make  Frank  Tinney 
seem  out  of  place  on  the  stage.  Some  voices  of 
exceptional  calibre  have  been  found,  some  end  men 
of  experience  and  a  mixed  chorus,  at  least  half  of 
which  wall  make  the  eyes  of  any  audience  bulge. 

Mr.  Newman,  besides  drilling  the  show,  has  done 
considerable  original  work  in  arranging  the  material. 
He  has  handled  .several  min.strel  shows  in  the  past 
so  that  his  experience  in  this  line  is  bound  to  be  of 
valuable  assistance  in  Hawk-Eye's  effort. 

As  yet  neither  the  date  nor  the  hall  have  been 
definitely  chosen,  but  tentative  arrangements  call 
for  Monday,  December  6th,  in  the  Exposition  Park 
.\uditorium. 

After  the  show  the  floor  will  be  cleared  and  the 
remainder  of  the  evening  given  over  to  dancing. 


FOREMEN'S  CLUB  CLAMBAKE 

On  October  2nd  the  Foremen's  Club  journeyed 
to  Rifle  Range  to  fill  up  on  clams,  lobster,  and  all  the 
rest  that  goes  to  make  a  real  clambake.  Some 
forty-five  people  were  corralled  for  the  occasion  and 
they  did  their  best  to  put  away  all  that  was  coming 
to  them.  Speeches  were  ruled  "out  of  order"  after 
the  meal,  and,  consequenthv  a  game  of  ball  came 
into  existence.  "Bobbie"  Guilford  outshone  all 
.stars  in  this  game — his  spearing  of  the  ball  was 
magnificent — his  errors  numerous.  The  party 
broke  up  very  early  to  allow  those  who  wished  to 
see  the  Hawk-Eve  -  Art  in  Buttons  game  to  reach 
Ritter  Field  by  3:30  P.M. 

George  Aulenbacher,  foreman  of  the  Assembling 
Department,  was  cliairman  of  the  clambake  and 
he  surely  "did  himself  noble."  Thanks,  George, 
we'll  be  with  you  again  next  year. 


HAWK-EYE  STUDENTS 

Twenty-seven  employees  of  the  Hawk-Eye  Works 
are  taking  advantage  of  the  Company's  offer  to 
assist  in  bearing  the  expense  of  special  courses  taken 
in  reputable  educational  in.stitutions.  The  courses 
range  from  elementary  courses  in  English  and 
Arithmetic  to  Machine  Design  and  Mechanical 
Engineering.  The  plan  affords  excellent  opportun- 
ity for  emj)loyees  to  increase  their  value  to  them- 
selves and  to  the  company. 

More  people  should  take  advantage  of  the  chance 
to  better  themselves.  It  is  a  fortunate  sign  for 
any  employee  to  display  the  ambition  for  increased 
capacity  in  this  manner.

YARD  DEPARTMENT  PICNIC 


A  recent  Saturday  afternoon  found  the  Yard 
Department  men  all  dressed  up  and  headed  for  the 
New^jort  House.  The  trip  down  was  made  in 
private  cars  and  two  of  the  company's  trucks. 
When  everyone  had  arrived  a  group  picture  was 
taken.  Then  the  Garage  men  lined  up  and  were 
"mugged"  by  themselves.  At  1:15  dinner  was 
served,  which  consisted  of  nice  broiled  steaks  with 
trimmings.  A  Kodak  Park  orchestra  of  four  pieces 
played  during  the  dinner.  Ferre  Marzlufif  sang 
and  also  lead  the  Every-one  song  specials.  He 
was  ably  assisted,  at  times,  by  Singleton  of  the 
Garage.  Immediately  after  dinner  several  of  the 
guests  from  Monte  Carlo  retired  to  the  upstairs, 
where  there  was  quite  a  heated  argument  for  the 
rest  of  the  afternoon  as  to  who  should  pay  expenses. 
Several  from  Africa  started  a  golf  game  on  the  Ball 
Room  floor.  It  was  learned  they  were  playing  for 
new  fall  hats,  etc.,  so  look  for  the  dressed  up  gentle- 
men to  determine  the  winners.  It  was  noticed 
that  Pitts,  of  the  office  force,  had  a  two-pound  box 
of  candy  tucked  in  under  his  arm;  whether  he  was 
a  winner  or  squaring  himself  with  his  recent  bride 
couldn't  be  determined. 

Someone  suggested  that  we  have  some  Ironde- 
quoit  Bay  water  to  drink.  P^veryone  got  away 
with  it  in  good  shape,  excepting  Jack  Robb,  who 
said  he  swallowed  an  eel. 


After  the  dinners  had  become  settled,  the  sports 
contests  were  run  off,  with  the  following  results: 
12-lb.  Shot  Put .  .Geo.  Appleton.    Eversharp  pencil. 
100-yd.  Dash. . .  .H.  Servise.     Fountain  pen. 

Pipe  Race A.  Caswell.     Can  of  tobacco. 

Std.  Broad  Jump. F.  Behnke.     Pipe. 

Barrel  Boxing.  .  .  Wm.  Sly,  Jr.     Carton  of  cigarettes. 

Quoit  Games. . .    Joe  Matteson.  Carton  of  Chewing. 

Then  every  one  retired  to  the  front  lawn,  where 
an  old-time  Dutch  lunch  was  served.  Immediately 
following  this  a  championship  wrestling  match  was 
staged  between  Bill  Leistman  and  Sammie  Moore, 
the  stake  being  the  famous  old  Brown  Derby, 
which  was  destroyed  before  either  could  be  crowned 
winner.  This  was  followed  by  the  ball  game 
between  the  Garage  and  Yard. 

During  the  preceding  week  there  was  considerable 
talk  of  $100.00  side  bet  which  must  have  been  said 
by  a  stuttering  man,  because  $10.00  was  all  the 
Yard  collected  for  trimming  the  Garage  by  a  7  to  0 
score. 

Harold  Servise  and  G.  Appleton  won  the  points 
for  the  winners,  only  one  man  succeeding  in  passing 
first  base.  The  hitting  of  Jake  Scheible  and  Dan 
Dailey  were  features  of  the  game.  Westfall  and 
Quackenbush  acted  as  umpires  and  because  of  their 
tough  appearance  no  arguments  were  encoimtered. 

The  committee  in  charge  was  composed  of  C. 
Darrow,  E.  Davis,  E.  Ades  and  A.  R.  White.

FOREMEN  TRY  THE  W\TER 

Ever  since  its  organization  the  Kodak  Park 
Foremen's  Club  has  been  blessed  with  a  flock  of 
horseshoes.  Everything  it  has  undertaken  has 
been  a  success,  but  the  Cobourg  outing  was  the  one 
real  winner.  About  300  persons — members,  their 
families  and  friends — boarded  the  train  at  Uptonville 
at  l!2:30  for  the  docks  at  Charlotte.  The  Ontario 
Xo.  2  made  a  record  for  a  quick  getaway  and  the 
fun  started  before  the  last  line  was  cast  off.  Most 
everyone  roamed  about  the  boat  or  ate  lunch  until 
2:00  o'clock,  when  "Jimmie"  Hart  called  the  crowd 
together  on  the  top  deck  and  the  sport  began. 

In  the  nursing  bottle  race,  nipples  were  placed 
on  bottles  of  soft  drinks  and  given  to  the  eager 
contestants.  Miss  C.  H.  Welch  came  through  a 
"clean"  winner  (as  well  as  a  wet  one)  and  Mrs. 
Schaffer  won  the  second  prize.  We  had  the  girls 
on  the  string  in  the  gum  drop  race.  Laura  Con- 
naughton  finished  first  in  this  event,  with  Anna 
Cosgrove  second.  Ida  Lehr  got  away  to  a  good 
start  in  the  shoe  race,  winning  by  a  shade  over  Beth 
St.  Maurice,  who  received  second  prize,  and  Marion 
Burns,  our  sweet  voiced  telephone  operator,  added 
another  article  to  her  large  collection  of  prizes  won 
at  Kodak  Park  entertainments,  when  she  succeeded 
in  destroying  two  large  soda  crackers  and  blowing 
them  to  the  winds  in  an  effort  to  whistle,  in  the 
cracker  race.  Esther  Burton  had  some  luck  also, 
and  came  in  second.  The  events  for  men  were 
community  affairs,  in  which  Paul  Seel's  team 
scored  a  decisive  win  over  that  of  "Jack"  Shepherd. 
Five  prizes  were  also  awarded  to  the  persons  guessing 
nearest  to  the  time  the  boat  docked  at  Cobourg. 

One  hour  and  a  quarter  were  spent  in  Cobourg 
"seeing  the  town"  before  starting  for  home.  The 
first  hour  of  the  return  trip  was  devoted  to  a  concen- 
trated attack  on  the  "eats,"  after  which  the  enter- 
tainers took  the  floor.  Solos  were  sung  by  Mae 
La  Rocher,  Ben  McMillan,  Frank  Wilmot  and  F. 
Marzluff,  while  several  interesting  numbers  were 
given  by  the  Bush  entertainers.  Dancing  was 
enjoyed  all  during  the  trip,  excellent  music  being 
furnished  by  an  orchestra  led  by  Charlie  Weber. 

To  those  who  did  not  attend  we  express  our 
sincere  sympathy.  We  who  made  the  trip  unite  in 
expressing  a  vote  of  appreciation  to  the  committee

NOON  HOUR  DANCING 

Noon  hour  dancing  was  resumed  in  the  Assembly 
Hall  on  Monday,  October  18th.  The  plan  of 
providing  music  for  dancing  during  the  winter 
months  has  met  with  the  most  enthusiastic  approval 
by  the  many  employees  who  take  advantage  of  this 
type  of  recreation. 

The  orchestra  this  year  will  be  under  the  direction 
of  Russell  Ives,  who  has  secured  the  services  of 
several  very  competent  musicians. 

Dancing  will  start  at  12:15  and  continue  until 
12:50  each  noon  until  further  notice.  Come  up 
some  noon,  if  you  are  not  a  regular  patron,  and 
shake  yourself  around.  You  will  feel  better  for 
the  afternoon  work. 


KODAK  PARK  SOCCER  TEAM 
HAS  FIGHTING  CHANCE 

The  month  of  October  found  the  Kodak  I'ark 
Soccer  Team  in  the  midst  of  its  Fall  Series.  Although 
our  team  has  not  shown  up  very  well  of  late,  due  to 
three  of  the  best  players  being  out  because  of 
injuries,  we  feel  that  a  better  showing  will  be  made 
during  the  last  half  of  the  schedule. 

Edward  Allardice  has  been  recently  elected 
President  to  fill  the  vacancy  caused  l)y  the  resigna- 
tion of  R.  W.  Eddon. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  team  held  on  September 
9th,  delegates  from  the  Camera  Works  team  were 
entertained  and  the  expressions  voiced  by  James 
Gordon  and  Neville  O'Connor  were  thoroughly 
appreciated. 

There  is  a  movement  on  foot  to  organize  an  indoor 
Soccer  League  this  winter,  composed  of  teams 
representing  Hawk-Eye  Works,  Camera  Works  and 
Kodak  Park.  We  are  sure  that  this  new  venture 
would  receive  the  unanimous  support  of  the  Soccer 
fans. 


YARD  DEPARTMENT  BOWLING  LEAGUE

POPULAR  EMPLOYEE  LEAVES 
KODAK  PARK 

After  thirteen  years  of  almost  continuous  service 
at  Kodak  Park,  Mamie  Driscoll,  of  the  Carbon 
Paper  Department,  left  on  October  2nd  to  assume 
a  new  position,  that  of  keeping  house,  as  Mamie 
was  married  recently,  returning  for  a  few  weeks 
after  her  honeymoon.  First  coming  to  Kodak  Park 
in  October  of  1906,  she  was  employed  in  the  Box 
Department,  where  she  worked  until  August,  1907, 
at  which  time  she  left,  returning  again  to  this 
department  in  December  of  the  same  year.  Since 
then  she  has  been  employed  in  the  Film  Pack,  Pay 
Roll  and  Carbon  Paper  Departments.  Her  many 
friends  will  miss  her  kindly  disposition  and  sunny 
smile,  but  all  unite  in  wishing  her  continued  success 
in  her  new  "job."

THE  RESEARCH  LABORATORY  OUTING 

The  Second  Annual  Outing  of  the  Research 
Laboratory  was  held  at  East   Maplewood  Park. 

The  members  of  the  research  staff,  their  families. 
and  friends  began  to  arrive  at  the  park  at  '2:30  p.  m. 
The  first  event  was  a  baseball  game,  starting  shortly 
after  2:30,  between  the  two  rival  teams — the 
Chemistry  Department  vs.  the  Physics  and  Photog- 
raphy Departments.  Before  the  first  inning  was 
over  the  game  was  stopped  by  Umpires  Billings  and 
K.  Huse  on  account  of  rain.  After  several  starts 
the  game  went  three  innings  between  drops  and 
then  was  called  off,  with  the  score  standing  six  all. 
The  features  of  the  game  were  a  Babe  Ruth  wallop 
for  four  sacks  by  Pitcher  Emery  Huse  of  the  Physic- 
ists and  Photographers,  and  the  effective  pitching  of 
Pitcher  Charles  Brightman  of  the  Chemists.  As 
the  contest  was  a  bitter  one.  Umpires  Billings  anrl 
K.  Huse  are  to  be  congratulated  on  escaping  with 
their  lives.  Mr.  Capstaff  was  on  hand  with  the 
motion  picture  camera,  searching  for  the  famous 
follow  through  swing,  but  all  that  were  registered 
were  strike-outs. 

As  the  program  committee,  headed  by  Mr.  Bush, 
had  a  program  that  provided  for  many  indoor 
events  in  case  of  rain,  everyone  went  to  the  summer 
house  and  the  fun  continued.  The  first  indoor 
event,  the  famous  Guzzle  race  for  men  and  women, 
was  won  by  Miss  La  Bar  and  Mr.  Hodgson,  after  a 
thrilling  contest.  Then  there  was  a  tug-of-war  for 
women,  the  two  teams  being  captained  by  Miss 
Sullivan  and  Miss  Schmitt.  After  several  minutes 
of  pulling,  during  which  time  we  all  thought  the  rope 
would  break,  the  event  was  called  a  draw.  Next 
was  the  tug-of-war  for  men,  and  as  the  two  ball 
teams  had  played  a  tie  game,  it  was  decided  that 
they  should  line  up.  After  two  pulls  inside,  each 
team  winning  one,  it  was  decided  to  have  the  final 
pull  on  the  ground,  rain  or  no  rain.  A  mighty 
conflict  took  place,  and  the  Physicists  and  Photog- 
raphers finally  won  by  inches,  due  to  the  able  coach- 
ing of  L.  A.  Jones.  Then  there  was  the  coat 
race,  in  which  Dr.  Silberstein  took  a  very  active 
part;  and  also  the  International  Balloon  race — 
that  for  women  being  won  by  Miss  Benedict,  and 
that  for  men  by  Mr.  Mungillo.  Indoor  tennis  for 
the  championship  was  next.  Dr.  Mees  and  Miss 
Schmitt  beating  all  comers,  until  Mr.  Gray  and 
Miss  Benedict  took  the  championship. 

Everyone  was  then  ready  for  the  event  called 
"eats,"  in  which  everyone  took  a  most  active  part. 

The  part  of  the  outing  that  most  of  us  will 
remember  longest  was  the  after-dinner  speeches, 
interspersed  by  songs,  presided  over  by  Dr.  Mees 
as  toastmaster.  We  were  all  delighted  to  hear  of 
Mr.  Wratten's  experiences  during  his  trip  from 
England  and  through  New  York  City. 

Miss  Davis  then  spoke  for  the  Synthetic  Labora- 
tory, and  said  that  she  was  glad  to  see  the  Synthetic 
Laboratory  in  its  new  home  out  on  the  "farm." 

Several  parodies  were  rendered  by  those  ])resent, 
the  parodies  having  been  written  bv  meml)ers  of 
the  staff. 

The  big  surpri.se  of  the  evening  was  the  presenta- 
tion of  a  loving  cup  to  H.  LeB.  Gray  in  appre- 
ciation of  his  twenty-one  years  of  service  with  the 
company.  Dr.  Silberstein.  our  youngest  member 
in  years  of  service,  made  the  presentation  speech. 
Mr.  Gray  expressed  his  sincerest  thanks  and  told 


us  that  his  idea  of  success  was  the  goodwill  of  his 
fellow  workmen. 


H.  LeB.  GRAY 

The  tables  were  cleared  away  and  the  remainder 
of  the  evening  was  enjoyed  in  dancing. 

Everyone  had  a  good  time  in  spite  of  the  inclement 
weather,  and  as  Dr.  Mees  said:  "We  always  have 
a  good  time  because  we  carry  our  fun  with  us." 


"Joe"  Cassard,  of  the  Printing  Department,  is 
offering  for  sale  a  complete  fishing  outfit.  Joe  says: 
"For  some  reason  or  other,  fishin'  ain't  what  it  used 
to  be.  

Fred  Ellis,  traffic  man  of  the  E.  C.  &  P.  Depart- 
ment, is  not  "in  mourning."  That  black  hat  he 
wears  is  a  prize  which  his  granddad  won  some  years 
ago.  

T.  C.  Van  Beenen,  of  the  E.  C.  &  P.  Department, 
has  returned  to  work  after  a  three  months'  tour 
of  Europe.  

Ruth  Bowie  and  John  Schicker,  of  the  E.  C.  &  P. 
Department,  were  married  on  Thursday,  September 
23rd.     Congratulations. 

Harry  Williams,  of  the  E.  C.  &  P.  Department, 
has  invested  in  a  new  house,  and  will  be  at  home 
to  his  friends  from  now  on  if  the  coal  man  keeps 
his  word. 

Building  No.  30  expects  to  make  a  good  showing 
in  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  League  this  season,  with  its  team 
of  consistent  bowlers.  Sloat  is  captain,  with  Boyer, 
Hart,  Griswold  and  Downs  for  regulars,  and  Walch 
and  Abel  for  substitutes.

take  charge  of  all  tracing  in  the  Drafting  Room, 
had  a  visit  from  the  stork  on  Tuesday,  October 
5th,  when  a  little  girl  arrived. 

"Joe"  says  the  promotion  was  opportune,  coming 
just  at  this  time,  as  a  family  of  three  children  is 
considerable  overhead  in  these  days  of  high  prices.

TESTING  DEPARTMENT 
ALL-STARS  \VL\  SERIES 

The  annual  series  between  the  All-Stars  and  the 
Colts,  of  the  Testing  Department,  again  resulted 
in  a  victory  for  the  Stars. 

In  1919  with  a  score  standing  1-1  to  12  against 
them  the  All-Stars  batted  in  three  runs  in  the  last 
half  of  the  9th  inning.  Again  in  this  series  a  final 
game  was  won  in  the  same  manner.  With  the  score 
20  to  1.5  in  favor  of  the  Colts,  six  runs  were  scored 
by  the  All-Stars,  giving  them  the  game  and  series 
by  the  score  21  to  20. 

The  Colts  are  advised  to  brush  up  on  the  Baseball 
rules  so  that  they  will  be  better  prepared  on  plays 
that  come  up  in  the  1921  meet.

GIRLS'  BASKETBALL  TEAM 
ST.\RT  PRACTICE 

The  first  practice  of  the  candidates  for  the  Girls' 
Basketball  was  held  on  Friday  evening,  October 
8th,  in  the  Assembly  Hall. 

"Rip"  Benzoni  and  .lack  Brightman  are  coaching 
the  girls  and  from  all  appearances  we  are  going 
to  have  a  first  class  team.  Many  new  faces  will  be 
seen  in  the  line-up  this  year.  Among  the  most 
promising  are  Harriet  Nobles,  star  of  last  season's 
Championship  North  East  Electric  team,  and  the 
Lee  sisters,  Edith  and  Ethel,  who  played  on  the 
Girls'  Baseball  team  during  the  past  summer. 

It  is  planned  to  have  the  girls'  team  play  prelim- 
inaries to  the  regular  games  at  Kodak  Park  during 
the  entire  season,  and  their  first  appearance  will  be 
made  on  Thanksgiving  Eve,  when  the  Kodak  Park 
team  meets  the  fast  Tuscarora  Indians  in  the 
opeiiing  game. 


We  wish  to  express  our  sympathy  to  George 
Perry,  of  the  Yard  Department,  in  his  recent 
bereavement — the  death  of  his  wife. 


Marion  Dalaska,  of  the  Film  Order  Office,  and 
Ralph  Bemish,  were  married  on  September  14. 
Congratulations  and  best  wishes. 


Helen  Cauley  and  Howard  Sauer,  both  of  the 
Finished  Film  Office,  Building  No.  12,  were  married 
on  September  22nd.  All  sorts  of  good  luck  to  Helen 
and  Howard. 


On  Saturday,  October  2nd,  Maude  McCann  enter- 
tained the  instructors  of  the  Finished  Film  Training 
Department  at  a  sausage  roast  at  her  country  home, 
Hilton,  New  York.  Everybody  had  a  jolly  good 
time.  Maude  certainly  knows  how  to  cook  the 
sausages.  After  the  eats,  dancing  was  enjoved  by 
all.  

After  being  absent  from  work  for  several  weeks, 
due  to  sickness,  J.  Finucane  and  J.  Dawson  have 
returned  to  the  Emulsion  Coating  Department.

and  a  strong  bid  will  be  made  for  the 
City  Championship. 

The  opening  game  will  be  played  on  Thanksgiving

COMMITTEE  VISITS  SUMMER  HOSPITAL 


In  the  past  it  has  been  customary  when  the 
yearly  drive  for  the  Community  Chest  was  over  to 
let  the  matter  drop  entirely  until  it  was  time  for 
the  next  campaign.  The  Kodak  Park  Executive 
Committee  feels  that  much  can  be  done  during  the 
year  that  will  be  of  benefit  during  the  actual  cam- 
paign, and  with  this  idea  in  mind  the  Visiting 
Committee  plan  has  been  inaugurated. 

Committees  are  being  organized  from  among 
the  employees  which  will  visit  the  different  institu- 
tions affiliated  with  the  Chest  with  the  idea  in  mind 
of  offering,  if  necessary,  constructive  criticism,  and 
to  give  our  employees  an  opportunity  to  see  just 
what  is  being  done.  The  first  committee,  which 
was  composed  of  Mrs.  A.  Treen,  D.  Sidnam,  A. 
Bathwick,  Z.  Dennis,  H.  LeB.  Gray,  and  R.  A. 
Weber  visited  the  Infants'  Summer  Hospital  on 
Friday,  September  24th.  Following  is  a  report 
submitted  and  signed  by  this  committee: 

As  a  group  of  people  interested  in  the  affairs 
of  the  Community  Chest  we  visited  the  Infants' 
Summer  Hospital  at  Charlotte  on  Friday  morning, 
September  24th,  and  were  received  very  cordially 
by  Miss  Hastings,  the  superintendent  of  this 
institution.  Miss  Hastings  seemed  to  be  very  glad 
to  have  the  opportunity  of  showing  us  through  her 
hospital,  and  the  trip  proved  to  be  very  interesting 
as  well  as  enlightening.  Our  visit  was  made 
unexpectedly,  and  not  during  the  regular  visiting 
hours. 

First  of  all  we  were  conducted  through  the 
department  where  the  food  for  the  infants  is  pre- 
pared. This  is  a  well  managed  department  and 
each  child  has  its  own  individual  bottle  which  is 
marked  with  a  tag.  These  bottles  are  sterilized 
as  is  everything  used  in  connection  with  the 
preparation  of  the  food. 

We  next  visited  the  diet  kitchen,  regular  kitchen 
and  dining  rooms,  all  of  which  we  found  up-to-date 
and    very    clean. 

In  the  Main  Building  there  are  four  wards,  two 
on  the  first  floor  and  two  on  the  second.  Each  of 
these  wards  is  light  and  airy  and  accommodates 
about  16  beds.     On  the  third  floor  is  an  excellently 


equipped  Pathological  Laboratory,  where  analyses 
are  made  to  determine  the  correct  diagnosis  and 
proper  treatment  without  delay.  Many  severe 
and  baflSing  cases  have  been  treated  here  during 
the  past  with  wonderful  success. 

The  hospital  is  closed  on  October  1st,  at  which 
time  all  patients  who  are  not  well  enough  to  be 
discharged  are  sent  to  other  hospitals,  where  their 
treatment  is  continued  until  they  are  recovered  or 
until  the  Summer  Hospital  opens  again  the  following 
year. 

Absolutely  no  charge  is  made  for  any  patient  at 
this  institution.  All  cases  are  taken  without 
question,  with  the  exception  of  contagious  diseases. 
Patients  are  under  the  care  of  the  resident  doctor, 
he  being  assisted  by  two  others  who  make  their  calls 
each  day.  Cases  requiring  special  attention  are 
cared  for  by  the  most  able  specialists. 

During  this  year  there  were  142  patients  treated 
at  the  hospital.  Miss  Hastings,  as  Superintendent, 
has  two  assistants.  The  staff  of  the  Institution 
consists  of  the  superintendent,  2  assistants,  3 
doctors,  1  graduate  dietitian,  1  assistant  dietitian, 
55  graduate  nurses  and  32  attendants. 

We  feel  that  this  is  one  of  Rochester's  most  worthy 
charities  and  entitled  to  all  the  help  which  is  needed. 

We  were  unable  to  find  one  thing  which  could  be 
criticized  in  any  way,  but  on  the  other  hand  found 
much  to  be  commended  and  praised.  Very  few 
people  are  aware  of  the  good  being  done  by  this 
institution  and  we  advise  that  others  take  advantage 
of  the  first  opportunity  to  visit  it.  There  is, 
perhaps,  no  place  where  our  charity  and  goodwill 
can  be  devoted  to  greater  benefit  than  the  Infants' 
Summer  Hospital,  and  we  appreciate  immensely 
the  opportunity  given  us  to  view  with  our  own 
eyes  the  wonderful  work  being  done.

KODAK  PARK  DANCE  SERIES  UNDER  WAY 

On  Friday,  October  29th,  a  masquerade,  the 
first  of  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  series  of  dances  to  be  run 
during  the  winter  months,  was  held  in  the  Kodak 
Park  Assembly  Hall  and  proved  to  be  a  great  suc- 
cess. The  program  for  this  season  consists  of  six 
specialty  dances.  The  first  the  masquerade  held 
last  month.  Thanksgiving  Party,  November  26th; 
New  Year's  Eve  Dance,  December  31st;  Moonlight

25th;  and  Spring  Dance,  March  25th.  Damon's 
orchestra  has  been  engaged  for  the  entire  series, 
assuring  the  best  of  music,  and  prizes  are  to  be  given 
at  each  party. 

A  novel  plan  has  been  inaugurated  which,  it  is 
believed,  will  meet  with  universal  favor.  Books 
of  tickets  have  been  printed  containing  twelve 
tickets,  two  for  each  date,  which  are  being  sold  at 
§6.00  each,  making  the  price  of  tickets  50  cents 
each,  including  the  tax.  A  number  of  half  books

to  be  sold  at  $3.50.  Single  tickets  as  well  as  gate 
tickets  are  to  be  sold  at  75  cents  each.  The  book 
])lan  is  recommended  very  strongly  for  our  em- 
ployees, as  a  considerable  saving  will  be  effected 
through  the  purchase  of  them.  Books  are  on  sale 
in  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  office  and  tickets  for  the  different 
dances  may  be  obtained  at  the  Pay  Roll,  Dining 
Halls,  K.  P.  A.  A.  Office,  and  in  the  different 
departments.

We  have  all  heard  a  great  deal  about  THAT 
Coburg  trip  made  by  the  Foremen's  Club,  but  few 
know  of  "Bob"  Hall's  hard  luck  on  that  day. 
"Bob"  works  in  the  Chemical  plant  and  is  off 
during  the  day.  Sauntering  down  Main  Street 
Satitrday  morning  it  dawned  on  him  all  of  a  sudden 
that  this  was  the  day  of  the  big  trip.  It  was  ten 
minutes  to  twelve  when  he  thought  of  it  and  he  im- 
mediately took  a  car  and  hurried  to  the  B.  R.  &  P. 
station,  only  to  learn  tiiat  the  train  luul  just  left. 
Hurrying  back  to  the  I\)ur  Corners  he  took  a  Lake 
Avenue  car,  which,  unfortunately,  only  went  as 
far  as  the  Cemetery,  so  "Bob"  had  to  get  off  and 
wait  for  a  Charlotte  car,  which  he  took  as  far 
as  Elizabeth  Street.  Hurrying  down  toward  the 
dock  he  was  accosted  by  a  person  who  inquired 
why  he  was  running.  When  he  told  him  that  he 
wantcil  to  catch  the  boat  he  was  informed  that  it 
was  just  whistling  for  the  bridge.     Sorry.  "Bob" I

endeavor,  when  the  Hawk-Eye  team,

The  first  game  on  September  25th,  was 
more  or  less  of  a  gift  from  the  button- 
makers,  who  offset  Graham's  neat  pitch- 
ing by  contributing  nine  defensive  mis- 
plays.  Against  such  porous  opposition, 
Hawk-Eye  quickly  ran  up  a  seven-run 
lead,  while  Marcelle  gave  the  Industrial 
team  but  two  tallies  until  the  final  session. 
In  the  ninth,  they  pushed  over  three 
tallies  on  four  hits  and  two  walks.  Ten 
hits  were  garnered  off  "Duber"  altogether. 
For  Hawk-Eye,  Ingleby  and  Van  Lare 
led  in  the  slugging.  Ritter  Field  was 
packed  for  this  contest,  the  crowed  of  a 
thousand  fans  filling  the  stands,  and 
crowding  the  base  lines. 

Game  No.  2  was  much  tighter,  but  the 
Hawk-Ej^e  boys  breezed  through  ahead 
after  a  hard  struggle.  The  day  was  raw, 
typical  football  weather,  and  a  sparse  300 
crowd  watched  the  battle.  Manager 
Brennan  sprang  a  surprise,  starting  his 
reserve  hurler,  "Norm"  Graham.  Graham 
pitched  a  pretty  game  of  ball,  with  heady 
assistance  from  Peterson.  Art  in  Buttons 
garnered  four  singles  and  three  doubles  off 


his  slants,  but  in  only  one  session  were 
they  able  to  get  more  than  one  safety. 
The  Hawk-Eye  team  gave  their  hurler 
beautiful  support. 


ALL-KODAKS  END  BASEBALL  SEASON 

The  final  games  of  the  All-Kodak  sea- 
son were  played  at  Kodak  Park,  one  with 
the  Moose  and  the  other  with  the  South 
Side  Athletics.  The  Sunday  that  brought 
Jim  Conover's  All-Star  Big  Moose  team 
to  Kodak  Park  was  shivering  cold,  but  it 
was  none  too  frigid  for  the  Kodak  boys. 
Diehl,  on  the  mound  for  Irwin's  proteges, 
struck  out  twelve  of  the  heaw-hitting 
Moose  nine  and  let  them  down  with 
three  scratch  bingles  and  the  short  end 
of  a  9  to  0  score.  If  the  steady  support 
that  the  team  put  up  had  been  given  all 
during  the  season,  the  All-Kodaks  would 
probably  liave  had  a  try  at  the  city  cham- 
pionship title. 

Score 

All-Kodaks 30015000  0—9  112 

Moose 000000000—0     32 

Batteries,  All-Kodaks,  Diehl  and  Irwin. 

Moose,  Burns,  Belmont  and  Lorey. 

Then  along  came  another  Jim's  team — 
Sprague's  Athletics  from  the  sunny  south 
end  of  Rochester.  And  they  brought  the 
most  difficult  puzzle  for  the  Kodak  nine 
when  Jake  Young  appeared  on  the  field  to 
perform  his  usual  feat  of  ten  strikeouts. 
Diehl  was  no  conundrum  to  the  sturdy 
Athletic  team  and  twelve  safe  blows  were 

the  result. 

Score

Yes.  Irwin's  boys  have  hung  up  their 
uniforms  until  next  year.  They  have 
gone  into  winter  quarters  to  hibernate 
and  make  plans  for  the  1921  season.  A 
little  later,  perhaps  we'll  hear  what  the 
team  has  in  mind  for  next  year. 

Speak  up.  Dutch!

CANADIAN  ATHLETICS 


THE  first  officers  of  the  Kodak  Ath- 
letic Association,  Toronto,  little  an- 
ticipated that  the  members  would  be  as 
busy  and  participate  in  as  many  lines  of 
sport  as  they  have  during  the  past  few 
months. 

There  have  been  twelve  representative 
teams  playing  during  the  season.  The 
factory  noon-hour  Indoor  Baseball 
League,  which  was  started  early  in  the 
spring  with  seven  teams  competing,  has 
just  closed  a  very  successful  and  interest- 
ing season,  with  the  Engineering  and 
Maintenance  team  retaining  the  shield 
they  won  last  year. 

The  footballers,  who  have  been  play- 
ing in  the  Canadian  Industrial  Athletic 
Association,  Saturday  afternoon  section, 
were  just  nosed  out  of  first  place  by  the 
Harris  Abattoir  with  24  points  against  23 
for  Kodak.  The  team  had  a  little  hard 
luck  in  losing  Captain  George  Wright, 
who  carried  them  through  many  winning 
games  before  he  left  the  company. 

The  baseball  team,  also  playing  in  the 
Industrial  League,  won  out  in  their  sec- 
tion, but,  unfortunately,  went  down  to 
defeat  in  the  semi-final  against  the 
Canadian  Northern  Railway.  Mention 
should  be  made  here  of  the  great  team 
spirit  that  existed,  and  also  of  the  splendid 
pitching  of  Archie  Boucher,  who  certainly 
twirled  the  old  pill  in  good  form  all  sum- 
mer. Archie  hails  from  Rochester,  but 
says  that  he  has  enjoyed  playing  baseball 
with  the  Canadian  team. 

The  factory  noon-hour  Indoor  Baseball 
League  mientioned  above,  has  been  the 
nucleus  of  a  strong  representative  team 


playing  in  an  Industrial  League  organ- 
ized by  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  There  were  five 
sections  in  a  Western  Division,  with  seven 
teams  in  each  section,  and  the  "Kodak 
9"  not  only  won  their  section,  but,  in  the 
semi-final  and  final  games,  proved  them- 
selves Champions  of  the  Division.  On 
Saturday,  September  2oth,  Kodak  met 
Gourlay,  Winter  &  Leeming,  winners 
in  the  Eastern  Division,  on  their  home 
grounds,  and,  by  a  score  of  11  to  8,  won 
the  first  game  of  a  series  to  decide  the 
Industrial  Championship  honors  of  the 
city.  As  this  article  goes  to  press,  they 
are  working  hard  for  their  next  game  and 
feel  confident  of  winning. 

This  year  has  also  seen  an  unparalleled 
interest  in  Indoor  Baseball  for  Ladies, 
and  the  girls  have  been  playing  in  an  In- 
dustrial League  conducted  by  the  Y.  W. 
C.  A.  So  far  they  have  not  lost  a  game, 
and,  with  only  one  more  to  play,  we 
expect  them  to  keep  the  record  clean. 
From  the  brand  of  ball  the  girls  are  play- 
ing, it  looks  as  if  they  might  give  some  of 
the  men's  teams  an  argument.  However, 
this  remains  to  be  seen. 

Thursday,  July  15th,  was  a  memorable 
day  in  the  history  of  the  Association,  when 
800  people  journeyed  to  Queenston 
Heights  for  the  second  annual  picnic. 
Old  Sol  was  on  the  job  all  day,  and  the 
trip  on  the  boat,  games,  and  many  walks 
through  that  historic  spot,  all  aided  in  the 
enjoyment  of  the  picnicers.  The  Athletic 
Association  was  pleased  to  have  as  its 
guest,  Mr.  Charles  H.  Thompson,  General 
Safety  Supervisor,  Eastman  Kodak  Com- 
pany, Rochester,  who  assisted  ]Mr.  S.  B.

Last,  but  not  least,  are  the  accompany- 
ing snapshots  taken  at  the  Second  Annual 
Field  Day  of  the  Association,  which  was  a 
marked  success.  Over  fifteen  hundred 
people  journeyed  to  Kodak  Athletic  Field 
and  took  great  interest  in  the  events  of 
the  day.  This  year  there  were  added  to 
the  closed  events  for  factory  employees 
some  seven  open  events  for  registered 
athletes   of  the  citv.     An  exhibition   of 


javelin  throwing  was  given  by  Mr.  Alex 
Stewart,  record-holder  for  Canada.  The 
Queen's  Own  Band,  under  the  leadership 
of  C.  Hubbard,  provided  the  music.  A 
Baby  Show,  with  over  forty-five  entries, 
and  a  Ladies'  Indoor  Baseball  game  be- 
tween Kodak  and  Canada  Cloak  followed 
the  athletic  events  in  the  afternoon.  From 
8.00  to  1L30,  outdoor  dancing  was  en- 
joyed by  a  large  crowd.  The  Association 
again  had  excellent  weather  for  its  Field 
Dav.

CAMERA  BOWLING  LEAGUE  STEPS  OFF 


SEASON  No.  ^20, 
for  the  Camera 
Bowling  League,  was 
booked  to  get  under 
way  on  Saturday, 
October  16th,  on  the 
Genesee  Hall  alleys. 
All  six  plants  of  the 
company  are  as  usual 
in  the  race,  and  ex- 
ceptional interest  is 
being  shown.  There 
is  a  determined  effort 
being  made  around 
the  circuit  to  oust 
Kodak  Park  and 
Camera  Works  from 
the  undisputed  su- 
premacy which,  be- 
tween them,  they 
have  held  for  the  last 
ten  years.  Back  in 
the  winter  of  1909- 
1 0 ,  Folmer-Century 
grabbed  off  the 
trophy,  but  then  the 
Parkers  started,  and 
held  the  flag  for  six 
straight  years.  Cam- 
era Works  then  leapt 
into  the  procession 
and  took  it  for  the 
next  three  seasons. 
Last  year,  Kodak 
Park  came   into    its 


JOHN  S.  STANTON,  Secretanj  and 
Treasurer  of  the  Camera  Bowling  League, 
has  been  associated  with  the  League  since 
its  organization  in  1903.  He  was  secretary 
under  President  A.  A.  Ruttan  in  1908  and 
again  elected  to  the  office  he  noio  holds  in 
1914.  He  has  been  elected  each  year  since 
by  the  delegates  from  the  various  plants  to 
the  combined  office  of  Secretary  and  Treas- 
urer. The  Camera  Bowling  League  is  the 
oldest  organization  of  its  kind  in  Rochester, 
and  is  also  one  of  the  best,  due  very  largely 
to  the  efforts  of  Mr.  Stanton  and  other 
officers  for  manly  and  good  clean  sport. 
Mr.  Stanton  has  been  continuously  em- 
ployed at  the  Premo  Works  from  1901  to 
the  present  date.

Since  the  organization  of  the  League, 
the  trophy  has  been  held  eight  years  by 
Kodak  Park,  five  by  Camera  Works, 
three  by  Premo,  and  two  by  Folmer- 
Century.  Hawk-Eye  and  Main  Office 
have  never  yet  finished  on  the  top  rung 


-Knox, 


of  the  ladder,  but 
they  maintain  that 
this  is  a  year  for 
setting  precedents.

it  in  1920. 

Last  year's  officers 
ran  the  League  so 
successfully  that  the 
entire  slate  has  been 
put  right  back  on 
the  job  for  another 
season.

LOOKING  BACKWARD 

THE  INVENTION  OF  THE  KODAK  AND  FILM  PHOTOGRAPHY 

Chapter  III 


THE  roll  film  idea  naturally  evolved 
a  new  type  of  camera,  and  the  Kodak 
was  the  result. 

The  first  Kodak  appeared  in  1888. 
It  was  the  invention  of  Mr.  George 
Eastman,  and  the  name  "Kodak"  was 
coined  by  him  for  a  trade  mark. 

It  was  a  simple  box  camera  combining 
the  roll  holder  and 
plate  camera  in  a 
new,  compact,  sim- 
ple, portable  and 
easily  manipulated 
form.  It  included  an 
instantaneous  shut- 
ter which  could  be 
wound  up  for  a  num- 
ber of  exposures  by 
simply  pulling  a 
string. 

The  roller  mech- 
anism comprised  exposure  indicating, 
film  perforating  and  film  tensioning 
device,  and  was  carried  in  a  readily 
removable  part  of  the  case  for  loading 
and  unloading. 

This  first  Kodak  took  round  pictures 
2^  inches  in  diameter,  and  was  loaded 
for  100  exposures.  Compared  to  the 
folding  pocket  editions  of  today,  it  was  a 
rather  crude  and  clumsy  affair,  but 
compared  to  the  burden  of  equipment, 
which  only  a  few  years  before  had  con- 
fronted the  amateur,  it  was  a  miracle  of 
achievement.  The  wagon  load  of  para- 
phernalia had  been  condensed  into  a 
complete  photographic  outfit  which  the 
amateur  could  tuck  under  his  arm, 
and  with  it,  go  on  a  picture  making 
tour  of  the  world,  as  the  accompanying 


THE  ORIGINAL  KODAK 


illustrations  show.     For  the  picture  tak 
ing  itself  no  technical  skill  whatever  was 
required.     "You    press    the    button,    we 
do  the  rest,"  put  the  simplicity  of  opera- 
tion into  a  phrase. 

The  "rest,"  however,  was  still 
considerable,  and  included  unloading 
the  Kodak  and  developing  the  roll  of 
film.  The  film  of 
these  early  Kodak 
days,  too,  was  the 
paper  "stripping" 
film  previously  de- 
scribed, and  which, 
as  already  noted, 
had  to  be  handled 
by  experts. 

And  so  while  the 
amateur  went  forth 
on  his  picture  mak- 
ing expeditions  re- 
of  his  burden  that 
become  a  pleasure 
the    inventor 


lieved  of  so  much 
photography  had 
instead  of  a  drudgery, 
continued  his  search  to  find  a  satisfactory 
substitute  for  paper  film.  Both  the 
"stripping"  film  and  the  film  with 
permanent  paper  support  which  pre- 
ceded it,  pointed  to  the  necessity  for  a 
transparent  flexible  film  base  to  which  the 
image  would  remain  affixed  after  develop- 
ing, and  through  which  prints  could  suc- 
cessfully be  made.  This  was  the  ideal,  but 
like  most  ideals  it  had  long  eluded  capture. 
Finally,  in  1889,  after  years  of  experiment 
and  research,  Mr.  Eastman  succeeded  in 
making  commercially  practicable  the 
present  cellulose  base.  With  this  dis- 
covery the  long  search  was  over,  the 
ideal  realized,  the  dream  come  true. 


THE  KODAK  AIAGAZINE 


It  was  found  that  by  dissolving  cotton 
previously  nitrated  in  a  solution  of 
denatured  alcohol,  a  viscous  honey-like 
fluid  was  obtained.  This,  when  con- 
verted into  sheets  and  dried,  became  the 
thin,  flexible,  transparent  film  base  with 
which  every  Kodaker  has  long  been 
familiar.  This  important  film  discovery 
not  only  revolutionized  photography  for 
the  Kodak  amateur,  but  made  motion 
'pictures  possible. 

From  this  point  on,  the  evolution  of  the 
Kodak  and  the  Kodak  system  of  photog- 
raphy proceeded  rapidly  and  logically. 

Daylight  loading,  the  next  important 
step,  was  realized  in  1891.  In  the 
system  first  devised  the  spool  of  film  was 
contained  in  a  light-proof  box  with  a 
strip  of  black  cloth  attached  to  each 
end.  Another  light-tight  box  contained 
the  "take  up"  spool  on  which  the  film 
was  wound  after  exposure.  The  cloth 
at  the  ends  protected  the  film  during 
loading  and  unloading.  This  device  did 
away  with  the  dark  room,  or  in  the 
absence  of  this,  with  the  necessity  for 
sending  the  Kodak  to  the  factory  for 
reloading.  All  that  was  necessary  was 
to  send  the  film  there  for  development. 

The  cartridge  system,  practically  as 
we  now  know  it,  followed  a  few  years 
later.  With  the  cartridge  system  were 
made  possible  further  refinements  of  the 
Kodak,  until  the  dainty,  compact,  folding 
models  of  today  were  realized. 

Folding  Kodaks  appeared  as  early  as 
1890,  but  the  first  Folding  Pocket  Kodak 
appeared  in  1898. 
^  Daylight  developing  was  introduced 
in  1902  and  completed  the  Kodak  system 
of  photography.  The  first  developing 
machine  was  a  light-tight  box  made  in 
two  compartments.  On  one  side  was  the 
spool  of  film,  on  the  other  the  protecting 
apron.  The  film  was  rewound  from  the 
spool  into  the  protecting  apron  and  both 
rotated  continuously  in  the  developing 
solution.  This  method  was  later  super- 
seded by  the  present  tank  system  in  which 
the    film,    in    its    protecting    apron,    is 


suspended   in   the   developer. 

With  daylight  developing  the  amateur 
was  now  forever  independent  of  dark 
rooms  and  professional  help.  With  the 
Autographic  feature  added  in  1914,  the 
final  touch  of  convenience  to  the  Kodak 
system  would  seem  to  have  been  given, 

Kodak  inventions  have  consequently 
placed  the  means  of  photography  within 
reach  of  every  man,  woman  and  child  on 
earth.  Instead  of  the  exclusive  hobby 
of  a  few  devotees,  which  Mr.  Eastman 
found  it  forty  odd  years  ago,  it  has, 
chiefly  through  his  efforts,  become  the 
pastime  of  all,  with  fields  of  activity 
stretching  to  every  horizon.  This,  on 
the  play  side. 

On  the  side  of  utility  the  simplification 
of  photography  has  enabled  it  to  enter 
intimately  into  the  thousand  and  one 
concerns  of  business,  social,  professional, 
agricultural,  and  even  scientific  life. 

A  chapter  might  be  devoted  to  the 
commercial  uses  of  photography  alone, 
another  to  the  scientific — including  X-ray, 
micro-photography  and  telephotography 
— and  still  another  to  aerial  photography, 
developed  during  the  war  to  the  point 
where  daylight  loading  cartridge  film 
could  be  used  instead  of  plates  and 
exposures  made  automatically. 

These  are  remote  from  amateur  pur- 
suits, many  of  them.  But  the  adaptation 
to  professional  uses  of  many  of  the 
methods  by  which  photography  has  been 
simplified  for  the  amateur  has  extended 
its  scope  far  beyond  the  confines  of  the 
portrait  studio.  The  same  research  work 
that  has  relieved  the  amateur  of  his 
burdens,  has  been  at  the  service  of  the 
professional  and  WTOught  refinements  of 
material  and  equipment  for  him  that 
have  heightened  his  art,  freed  him  from 
fixed  conditions  of  light  and  background, 
and  left  him  at  liberty  to  ply  his  trade 
in  any  chosen  field. 

But  the  great  service  to  mankind  is 
the  extension  of  photography  to  the 
amateur  through  Kodak  inventions.

THE   KODAK  MAGAZINE 
EASTMAN  SAVINGS  AND  LOAN  ASSOCIATION 


THERE  is  solid  satisfaction  in  having 
monej"  you  have  earned  and  saved 
working  for  you.  When  the  "only  girl" 
has  said  "Yes,"  it  is  a  "grand  and  glorious 
feeling"  to  know  that  you  have  ready  the 
means  to  provide  the  home  in  which  to 
install  her.  And  in  the  sunset  years  the 
fact  that  your  home  is  all  yours  affords  a 
feeling  of  security  that  nothing  can 
shake. 

In  the  last  few  years  most  of  us  have 
learned  the  importance  of  having  money 
in  reserve;  we  have  learned  the  folly  of 
extravagant  spending,  and  we  have 
learned  how  easy  it  is  to  save  money 
through  our  patriotic  investments  in 
Liberty    Bonds.  And    we    have    also 

learned  that  the  money  we  have  saved 
is  lazy  money  if  only  hoarded  and  not 
put  to  work. 

HERE    IS    YOUR    OPPORTUNITY 

The  fact  that  we,  you  and  I  and  the 
rest  of  us,  are  a  part  of  a  very  large 
organization,  makes  it  possible  to  do 
many  things  within  our  organization, 
and  to  have  the  benefit  of  trained  minds 
to  insure  the  success  of  our  plans. 

So  to  help  us  to  save  and  to  enjoy  in  the 
fullest  measure  the  benefit  of  our  savings, 
there  has  been  organized  the  Eastman 
Savings  and  Loan  Association,  incor- 
porated under  the  laws  of  the  State  of 
New  York,  and  to  be  conducted  in  strict 
accordance  with  the  banking  laws  of  the 
State. 

Only  employees  of  the  company  and 
members  of  their  families  are  eligible  as 
shareholders,  and  it  Avill  be  officered  and 
conducted  by  capable  employees  of  the 
company. 

THE    PLAN 

Three  plans  of  investment  are  ofiPered 
the  shareholders;  the  par  value  per  share 
being  $100.00. 

1.  Installment  Shares 

Employees,  or  members  of  their  families, 
may  subscribe  for  as  many  shares  as  they 


desire,  and  payments  of  $1.00  per  month 
are  required  to  be  made  on  each  share. 

When  the  payments,  called  dues,  and 
dividends  (which  are  credited  quarterly) 
equal  the  par  value,  $100.00,  the  amount 
will  be  paid  in  cash  to  the  shareholder. 
It  is  expected  that  these  shares  will 
mature  in  about  seven  years. 

Subscribers  to  these  shares  may,  at 
any  time  before  the  shares  mature,  borrow 
from  the  Association  on  their  personal 
note  up  to  an  amount  reasonably  secured 
by  the  amount  paid  on  such  shares  and 
the  dividends  credited  thereto.  By  con- 
tinuing the  regular  monthly  payments 
(dues)  on  such  shares  and  making  pay- 
ments on  the  sum  borrowed  as  may  be 
agreed  upon,  the  value  and  earnings  of 
the  shares  are  thus  unimpaired  and  may 
be  continued  to  maturity. 

Shareholders  may  withdraw  at  any 
time,  but  should  they  do  so  before 
the  shares  mature,  twenty  per  cent 
(one-fifth)  of  the  dividends  apportioned 
to  the  shares  withdrawn  are  forfeited 
and  such  forfeited  amounts  revert  to 
the  Association. 

2.  Savings  Shares 

Employees,  or  members  of  their  families, 
may  subscribe  for  any  number  of  these 
shares,  par  value  $100.00,  and  can  pay 
any  amount  from  time  to  time  as  they 
desire.  The  holders  of  savings  shares 
have  the  privilege  of  drawing  against  the 
amount  they  have  paid  in  at  any  time, 
the  same  as  with  any  regular  savings 
bank  account,  and  dividends  on  balances 
at  an  annual  rate  of  4%  will  be  credited 
quarterly.  This  rate  is  less  than  that 
paid  on  the  Installment  Shares,  but  it  is 
eminently  fair  because  with  the  Install- 
ment Shares,  the  Association  knows 
approximately  the  amount  it  has  coming 
in  from  that  source,  and  is  free  to  loan 
such  funds  to  borrowing  shareholders, 
and  thus  produce  earnings  for  dividends. 

3.  Income  Shares 

Income  Shares  require  the  full  payment,

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


$100.00  per  share,  at  the  time  of  pur- 
chase. These  shares  are  intended  as  an 
investment  for  such  employees  as  have 
a  bit  of  money  laid  by,  where  it  can 
be  assured  of  a  good  return  coupled  with 
absolute  safety. 

Dividends  on  these  shares  are  credited 
quarterly  and  a  portion  (four  per  cent 
per  annum)  paid  to  the  holder  quarterly 
by  check.  The  balance  of  the  dividends 
credited  will  be  held  until  maturity  of 
the  shares  (five  years) ,  when  the  principal 
and  accrued  unpaid  dividends  are  paid 
to  the  shareholder  in  full. 

Holders  of  these  shares  may  cash 
them  in  at  any  time  before  they  mature, 
but  by  so  doing  all  dividends  credited 
thereto  over  and  above  the  four  per  cent 
per  annum  which  has  been  paid  to  the 
shareholder  quarterly,  are  forfeited  and 
such  forfeited  amounts  revert  to  the 
Association. 

Above  you  have  had  outlined  three 
safe  ways  for  saving  and  for  the  safe 
investment  of  your  money. 

If  the  purchase  of  a  home  as  soon  as 
possible,  or  the  systematic  saving  of  a 
definite  weekly  or  monthly  amount  is 
desired,  subscribe  for  the  Installment 
Shares, 

If  you  just  want  to  save  what  you  can, 
and  at  times  most  convenient,  and 
where  you  can  draw  against  your  savings 
when  necessary,  subscribe  for  the  Savings 
Shares. 

If  you  have  a  bit  of  money  tucked 
away  in  the  old  teapot,  or  lying  idle  in 
the  bank,  or  a  wage  dividend  check  of 
generous  amount,  and  you  want  an 
absolutely  sound  and  paying  investment, 
with  dividends  paid  to  you  quarterly, 
subscribe  for  the  Income  Shares. 

EMPLOYEES  OUTSIDE  OF  ROCHESTER 

Employees  of  any  of  the  company's 
branches  throughout  the  United  States 
and  Canada,  or  any  members  of  their 
families,  may  subscribe  for  shares  in  this 
Association,  and  such  shareholders  will 
receive  all  benefits  and  privileges,  except- 
ing that  they  cannot  borrow  on  mortgage 


loans,  as  it  is  illegal  for  the  Association 
to  loan  its  funds  upon  mortgages  covering 
property  outside  of  a  50-mile  radius 
from  its  home  oSice.  (Payments  from 
Canada  to  be  in  New  York  exchange.) 

BUYING  THE  HOME 

When  you  have  ten  to  fifteen  per  cent 
of  the  fair  appraised  value  of  the  property 
you  desire  to  purchase,  to  your  credit 
on  the  books  of  the  Association,  or 
available  from  some  other  source,  and 
are  in  position  to  make  regular  payments 
of  one  per  cent  per  month  on  the  amount 
you  wish  to  borrow — (Example:  $1,000, 
$10.00  per  month;  $2,000,  $20.00  per 
month,  etc.,  which  is  total  payment  on 
principal  and  interest) — the  Association 
will  lend  you  the  money  up  to  seventy 
per  cent,  of  the  appraised  value,  taking 
a  mortgage  in  the  usual  form. 

The  Kodak  Employees  Association, 
which  handles  a  fund  in  which  all  Kodak 
employees  have  an  interest,  is  naturally 
on  the  lookout  for  safe  investments,  and 
will,  when  necessary,  and  after  the 
security  has  been  approved  by  its  direc- 
tors, loan  you  the  difference  between 
your  ten  to  fifteen  per  cent  and  the 
amount  loaned  by  the  Eastman  Savings 
and  Loan  Association,  taking  a  second 
mortgage  therefor.  So  you  see  that  all 
you  need  in  order  to  commence  owning 
your  own  home  is  ten  to  fifteen  per  cent 
of  its  purchase  price,  an  unusual  and 
highly  satisfactory  situation,  in  view 
of  the  unsettled  conditions  during  the 
past  three  years. 

SAFEGUARDS 

It  is  unnecessary  to  assure  you  that 
the  affairs  and  management  of  the 
Association  will  be  placed  in  the  hands  of 
skilled  and  competent  officials.  It  will 
have  at  all  times  the  full  benefit  and 
assistance  of  our  Legal  Department,  and 
it  will  have  the  hearty  good  will  of  our 
company  behind  it. 

To  many  of  us  the  legal  formalities 
necessary  to  the  purchase  of  real  estate 
are  intricate  and  hard  to  understand, 
and  we  are  not  familiar  with  the  care 


THE   KODAK   MAGAZINE 


necessary  to  make  sure  that  we  will 
hold  a  clear  and  unclouded  equity  in  the 
property  we  purchase.  Neither  are  we 
always  sure  that  the  purchase  price  of 
the  property  we  desire  to  own  is  a  fair 
one.  On  every  one  of  these  points  you 
will  be  fully  safeguarded  and  protected 
by  the  Association.  For  its  own  protec- 
tion, it  will  not  make  the  loan  unless  the 
title  to  the  property  is  found  to  be 
unclouded  upon  examination  by  the 
Legal  Department,  and  the  price  is  a 
fair  one,  as  determined  by  expert  and 
disinterested  appraisers. 

CONVENIENCE 

To  participate  in  any  one  of  the  forms 
of  investment  offered  by  the  Association, 
all  you  have  to  do  is  to  fill  out  the  proper 
forms  which  will  be  supplied  yovi  on 
application  to  the  head  of  your 
department. 

If  you  subscribe  for  the  Installment 
Shares,  all  you  have  to  do  is  to  instruct 
the  company  to  deduct  from  your  wage 
the  amount  necessary  to  keep  up  the 
payments  each  week.  If  the  Savings 
Shares  appeal  to  you  the  most,  hand  the 
Cashier  of  your  plant  the  amount  you 
wish  credited,  and  it  will  be  done.  With 
the  Income  Shares  simply  deposit  the 
necessary  amount  for  the  purchase  with 
your  Cashier,  or  at  the  office  of  the 
Association,  343  State  Street,  and  that 
is  all  there  is  to  it. 

There  can  be  no  finer  plan  evolved  for 
helping  us  to  help  ourselves;  the  Asso- 
ciation is  ours,  and  its  profits  are  ours, 
and  it  is  going  to  be  the  biggest  kind  of  a 
success. 

The  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Asso- 
ciation will  be  ready  for  business  on 
January  3,  1921,  with  headquarters  at 
the  :\Iain  Office,  343  State  Street. 
Advance  subscriptions  will  however  be 
received.  Ask  your  department  head. 
Further  particulars  and  literature  for 
distribution  will  be  furnished  on  request. 

OTHER  PLANS 

The  company  is  most  heartily  in 
accord  with  the  aims  of  the  Association, 


and  in  the  event  of  its  acceptance — 
and  we  certainly  will  accept — plans 
to  do  many  things  towards  the  further- 
ance of  home  owning  by  us.  This 
includes  a  wide  variety  of  complete 
architects'  plans,  available  to  our  home 
builders;  the  opening  up  of  tracts  of 
land  in  good  locations  for  our  homes, 
and  the  building  of  homes  in  quantity 
groups  where  by  quantity  purchasing 
of  materials  a  great  saving  can  be 
effected. 

Does   the   plan    sound   good    to   you? 
It  does. 


HE  NEEDED  THE  MONEY  ! 

A  few  weeks  ago,  one  of  our  Kodak 
Park  workers  hired  a  plumber  to  do  some 
work  for  him.  The  job  lasted  several 
weeks.  When  it  was  nearly  done,  our 
friend  rustled  around  and  got  together  the 
money  to  pay  for  the  work — about  $150. 
And,  then,  one  day,  somewhere  around 
the  plant — perhaps  while  he  was  buying 
his  lunch,  or  perhaps  around  his  machine, 
he  lost  his  roll.  Every  effort  to  find  the 
lost  money  has  been  in  vain. 

Mighty  hard  luck,  wasn't  it?  But,  this 
man's  unfortunate  experience  carries  a 
lesson  for  all  of  us.  It  is  not  only  un- 
necessary, but  foolish  to  carry  around 
large  sums  of  money  on  your  person  for 
several  days  at  a  time.  If  you  have  a 
large  bill  to  meet,  and  have  no  checking 
account  of  your  own,  go  to  some  friend 
around  the  plant  who  has.  and  exchange 
your  money  for  his  check.  If  that  can- 
not be  done,  you  can  alwavs  buv  a  bank 
draft. 

The  old  rule:  "Don't  Be  a  Chance- 
taker!"  can  apply  just  as  aptly  to  your 
handling  of  money,  as  to  your  work  in 
the  plant,  or  around  your  machine. 


Dad  Hicks  says — 

"Them  suspicious  folks  that  are  always 
expectin'  something  to  happen  to  *em 
sure  do  wish  a  lot  of  trouble  on  to  them- 
selves.

On  page  5  of  this  issue  appears  the 
biggest  story  that  it  has  been  my  privilege 
to  write  in  a  good  many  years. 

It  is  the  story  of  a  sound  and  safe  plan 
to  help  you,  and  me,  and  every  one  of  us 
to  acquire  a  protection  for  our  later 
years,  and  to  establish  ourselves  on  a 
sound  basis  of  thrift. 

There  are  but  few  of  us  who  have  not, 
and  who  do  not,  spend  a  certain  amount 
of  money  foolishly;  money  that  we  have 
often  regretted  having  let  slip  through 
our  fingers  so  easily,  when  confronted  by 
some  severe  and  unexpected  emergency. 

In  telling  you  of  this,  I  w'ant  to  get 
away  from  the  editorial  "we"  because  I 
have  always  been  a  sort  of  a  "happy-go- 
lucky"  chap  and  have  tossed  away  many 
a  foolish  dollar. 

I  want  you  young  fellows,  you  boys 
and  girls,  in  this  big  family  of  ours,  to 
wake  up  a  bit  sooner  than  I  did,  and 
acquire  the  saving  habit. 

I  do  not  want  for  a  moment  to  suggest 
that  you  become  miserly;  that  you  cut 
out  all  the  little  pleasures  and  enjoyments 
to  which  you  are  justly  entitled;  "All 
work  and  no  play  makes  Jack  a  dull 
boy" — but  I  do  want  you  to  read  and 


study  this  plan  for  our  mutual  benefit- 
carefully  and  thoughtfully;  to  ask 
yourself,  is  there  a  better  time  to  start 
putting  a  bit  by  for  showery  weather 
than  right  noiv.  To  those  of  you  who 
have  found  the  incentive  to  save,  whether 
for  that  long  longed-for  home  of  your 
own,  or  for  any  other  reason,  I  recom- 
mend the  plan  in  fullest  measure. 

I  only  wish  that  such  a  plan  had  been 
offered  me — yes,  forced  on  me,  twenty 
years  ago.  Ever  since  I  have  known  of 
the  plan,  I  have  thought  of  it  constantly 
— yes,  dreamed  about  it.  I  wish  that  I 
were  a  master  painter  with  words  so 
that  I  could  fill  you  full  of  my  own 
enthusiasm  for  this  splendid  plan.  I  am 
going  in  to  the  limit  I  can  carry,  and  I 
want  every  one  of  you  along  with  me. 

The  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Asso- 
ciation is  our  association;  let  us  make  it 
as  big  a  success  as  the  company  itself. 


Most  of  the  time  I  am  a  bit  "hard 
boiled,"  and  not  much  inclined  to  senti- 
ment because  I  have  lived  c{uite  a  while 
and  have  experienced  many  bumps. 

But  just  now,  w^ith  Christmas  right 
around  the  corner,  that  old  and  beautiful 
thought — "Peace  on  earth,  goodwill 
tow^ards  men" — subconsciously  comes  to 
the  fore.  And  it  is  a  beautiful  thought — 
"goodwill  towards  men."  Just  get  that 
thought  into  your  heart — forget  your 
certain  small  and  large  dislikes. 

Get  the  real  spirit  of  Christmas  into 
you;  make  as  many  people  as  happy  as 
you  can. 

Oftentimes  just  a  smile  and  a  firm 
hand  clasp  w  ill  be  valued  far  beyond  any 
material  gift.  I  remember  a  good  many 
years  ago,  a  young  man  with  whom  I 
had  been  very  chummy  suddenly  quit 
speaking  to  me,  and  I  hadn't  the  remotest 
idea  as  to  the  reason;  it  hurt. 

A  year  later  he  came  to  my  house  on 
Christmas  day  and  said,  "I  was  wrong, 
please  forgive  me" — and  that  was  just 
the  best  Christmas  gift  I  ever  had. 

I  wish  you  all  a  very  Merry  Christmas, 
Spencer  Hord.

THE  LANDLORD  AND  TENANT  LAWS  AGAIN 


SEVERAL  months  ago  an  article 
appeared  in  Kodak  Magazine  sum- 
marizing the  changes  brought  into  the 
law  governing  the  relationship  of  landlord 
and  tenant  by  the  new  State  statutes, 
which  went  into  effect  April  1,  1920. 

At  a  special  session  of  the  State 
Legislature,  held  in  September,  several 
additional  bills  were  passed  which  became 
laws  on  September  27th,  and  which  to 
some  extent  again  changed  the  law  of 
landlord  and  tenant.  There  is,  however, 
only  one  important  change  which  affects 
the  City  of  Rochester.  That  change 
may  be  described  as  follows:  Under 
one  of  the  laws  of  April  1st,  a  landlord 
could  not  evict  a  tenant  on  the  ground 
of  failure  to  pay  the  rent  unless  he,  the 
landlord,  could  show  one  of  two  things — 
either  that  the  rent  had  not  been  raised 
more  than  twenty-five  per  cent  in  excess 
of  the  rent  one  year  previous  to  the  time 
the  eviction  proceeding  was  instituted, 
or  that  the  rent  had  not  been  increased 
at  all  over  the  amount  actually  paid  for 
the  preceding  month.  Now  that  law 
has  been  made  even  more  stringent  by 
making  the  landlord  show,  in  order  to 
put  a  tenant  out  for  failure  to  pay  the 
rent,  that  the  rent  has  not  been  raised 
at  all  in  excess  of  the  amount  for  which 
the  tenant  was  liable  for  the  month 
preceding  the  time  of  the  alleged  failure 
to  pay  rent.  This  means  that  if  your 
landlord  attempts  to  raise  your  rent, 
if  you  do  not  wish  to  pay  the  increase, 
the  landlord  cannot  avail  himself  of  the 
short  three-day  notice  in  order  to  make 
you  "pay  up  or  get  out."  It  should, 
however,  be  borne  in  mind  that  both 
under  the  law  of  April  1  and  under  the 
present  law,  a  landlord  may,  for  any 
reason  or  for  no  reason  at  all,  after  he 
has  given  the  proper  notice  (which  is  a 
month  in  the  case  of  a  tenancy  by  the 
month,  and  is  a  week  in  the  case  of  a 
tenancy  by  the  week),  commence  a 
proceeding  in  the  City  Court  to  oust  a 
tenant.     Then  the  onlv  aid  the  tenant 


has  to  rely  upon  is  the  "stay"  or  post- 
ponement which  the  judge  has  it  within 
his  discretion  to  grant  in  order  to  give 
the  tenant  time  in  which  to  find  another 
suitable  abode. 

The  net  result  of  the  rent  raising 
problem  from  the  tenant's  point  of  view 
today,  is  as  follows :  If  you  receive  notice 
that  on  a  certain  date  your  rent  will  be 
increased,  you  should  consider  whether 
that  increase  is  reasonable.  You  ought 
also  to  consider  whether  or  not  you  can 
get  any  other  place  of  a  similar  nature  at 
a  price  less  than  the  increased  rent 
asked.  If  you  feel  that  the  increased 
rent  is  reasonable,  and  that  you  cannot 
get  any  ot^er  suitable  place  in  the  city 
for  less,  then  the  wise  thing  to  do  is  to 
pay  the  rent  asked.  If,  on  the  other 
hand,  you  feel  that  the  amount  is  unreas- 
onable and  that  you  would  rather  get 
out  than  pay  it,  then  you  should  at  once 
notify  the  landlord  in  WTiting  that  you 
absolutely  refuse  to  pay  the  increase, 
and  that  you  will  move  out  of  the  house 
just  as  soon  as  you  can  find  another 
suitable  house,  and  that  meanwhile  you 
will  go  on  paying  the  present  amount  of 
rent.  If  he  then  insists  on  serving  you 
with  notice  to  vacate,  and  commencing 
legal  proceedings  to  oust  you,  you  can 
probably  get  a  "stay"  from  the  judge 
which  will  allow  you  to  remain  in  the 
premises  for  a  reasonable  time — probably 
for  a  month  or  so  until  you  can  find 
another  place. 

Quite  a  number  of  the  employees  are 
under  the  impression  that  the  law  makes 
it  impossible  for  a  landlord  to  put  any 
tenant  out  in  less  than  a  year.  That 
idea  is  entirely  erroneous.  It  is  probably 
based  upon  the  provision  that  the  judge 
may  not  grant  the  "stays"  described 
above  for  a  period  longer  than  a  year. 
This  of  course  is  a   very  different  thing. 

If  an  employee  has  a  case  involving 
any  of  these  matters,  his  best  course  is 
to  consult  the  Legal  Department  as 
quickly  as  possible.

THE  PHOTOGRAPHIC  COMPETITION 

From  both  the  quahty  and  the  quantity 
standpoint,  our  first  Quarterly  Print 
Competition  was  a  decided  success,  but 
we  have  every  reason  to  beheve  that  the 
next  one  will  surpass  it. 

With  so  many  of  you  enthusiastic 
amateurs,  and  now  that  you  have  had 
time  to  sort  over  and  print  up  your 
summer  pictures,  we  should  be  just 
flooded  with  entries — and  there  is  already 
a  good  start  in  that  direction. 

You  may  submit  prints  of  any  size, 
or  enlargements,  but  please  do  not  send 
the  negatives  with  the  prints,  nor  submit 
hand-colored  pictures,  or  those  toned 
in  blue  or  red,  because  such  pictures  are 
practically  impossible  to  reproduce. 

Be  sure  and  write  your  name  and  the 
plant  where  you  are  employed,  plainly 
on  the  back  of  each  print,  together  with 
the  name  of  the  camera  with  which  the 
picture  was  made. 

The  subjects  for  the  present  com- 
petition are: 

Home  Portraiture 
Architecture  and  Interiors 
Flashlight  Pictures 

The  awards  are  the  same  as  for  the  first 
competition,  and  the  terms  were  given 
in  full  in  the  October  issue  of  the  Kodak 
Magazine.  On  page  10  we  reproduce  the 
pictures  receiving  Honoral^le  Mention 
in  the  first  competition.  Entries  for  the 
present  competition  close  December  31st. 


KODAK  EMPLOYEES  ASSOCIATION 
(INCORPORATED) 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  this  Association  was  held  at 
the  Main  Office  Building  on  November 
10th. 

The  Directors,  Messrs.  Eastman,  Haste, 
Reid,  Robertson,  Rogers,  Ruttan,  Sher- 
man, Higgins,  Ever,  Folnier,  Dorsey, 
Havens  and  Irwin,  being  all  the  inembors 
of  the  Board,  were  present. 

Mr.  Eastman  presided  and  Mr.  II.  D. 
Haight,  Manager  of  Industrial  Relations, 
and  Mr.  P.  W.  Turner,  Assistant  Treas- 
urer of  the  Association,  were  also  present. 


The  Secretary  reported  that  since  the 
last  meeting  of  the  Board,  eight  mortgage 
loans  to  employees,  aggregating  $4,820.00, 
had  been  clo.sed  and  that  the  total 
mortgage  loans  made  to  employees  prior 
to  the  date  of  the  meeting  aggregate 
thirty-two  in  number,  and  $'21,985.00  in 
amount. 

Mr.  Haight  reported  that  all  employees 
absent  on  account  of  illness  were  notified 
at  least  two  weeks  before  the  payments  of 
allowances  for  sickness  under  the  schedules 
adopted  by  the  company  expire,  and  such 
employees  were  at  that  time  informed  that 
if  further  assistance  was  needed  in  their 
cases,  loans  could  be  arranged  from  the 
Association.  This  is  done  so  that  there 
may  be  no  period  after  the  payments  by 
the  company  cease  and  before  loans  by 
the  Association  begin,  during  which  period 
the  sick  employee  might  suffer  distress 
for  lack  of  funds. 

The  Treasurer's  report  was  received 
and  filed,  showing  the  Association's  in- 
come and  investments  to  be  most 
satisfactory. 

The  Association  approved  the  action  of 
the  Executive  Committee  taken  at  its 
meetings  since  the  last  meeting  of  the 
Board  of  Directors. 


ON  COURTESY 

Courtesy  is  too  often  forgotten  in 
business.  There  are  too  many  of  us  who 
are  prone  to  adopt  an  attitude  of  indif- 
ference; to  dismiss  the  matter  of  courtesy 
as  trivial.  That  attitude  and  idea  is 
wrong,  entirely  wrong.  Courtesy  is  an 
acquirement  of  cultivation  and  an  asset 
almost  priceless  to  possess.  Everyone  is 
entitled  to  courteous  consideration  and 
should  never  fail  to  extend  it.  Its  elTect 
will  be  most  marked;  its  encouraging 
inspiration  and  heartfelt  assurance  will 
go    far — so   remember   to   be   courteous. 


Courtesy  is  like  the  air  on  the  inside 
of  a  tire.  There  nuiy  be  nothing  to  it, 
but  still  it  eases  many  a  jolt  and  saves 
many  a  rupture.

THE   KODAK   MAGAZINE 


IN  THE  DAY'S  WORK 


SADNESS,  timidity  and  anxiety  were 
written  on  the  face  of  the  young 
woman  who  called  at  the  Community 
Chest  headquarters  not  so  very  long  ago. 
She  was  plainly  but  neatly  dressed, 
probably  between  26  and  30  years  of  age, 
in  appearance  attractive  and  wholesome, 
and  without  question  a  foreigner.  Her 
nationality  easily  was  established  when 
she  spoke. 

Seeking  painfully  hard  to  keep  back 
the  tears  that  welled  up  in  her  eyes,  and 
to  affect  a  composure  she  did  not  feel, 
she  said: 

"I  die,  unless  I  go  to  hospital,  doctor 
he  say." 

Then  in  broken  English,  almost  un- 
intelligible, but  spoken  with  earnestness, 
sincerity,  she  told  her  story  and  made  her 
appeal : 

She  lived  on Street ;  her  husband 

worked  for   — — —  and  earned  a 

week.  For  months  she  had  been  re- 
ceiving medical  treatment  for  a  growth, 
the  doctor  at  first  holding  out  the  hope 
that  the  medicine  he  was  giving  would 
check  its  development.  Recently,  how- 
ever, the  trouble  had  become  worse,  and 
the  doctor  that  day  had  advised  her  that 
she  would  have  to  submit  to  an  operation 
at  once;  delay  would  be  dangerous. 
What  was  she  to  do?  Her  husband  did 
not  earn  enough  to  pay  even  ward  rates 
in  the  hospital,  and  they  had  not  been 
able  to  save  anything  for  a  rainy  day. 
The  doctor  had  told  her  she  would  have 
to  stay  in  the  hospital  four,  perhaps  six 
weeks,  and  during  that  time  her  husband 
would  have  to  take  care  of  the  children, 
keep  the  house  going,  pay  the  rent;  and 
the  most  they  could  pay  the  hospital 
would  be  eight  dollars  a  week.  Was  there 
any  hospital  that  would  take  care  of  her 
for  eight  dollars  a  week?  Would  the 
Community  Chest  tell  her  what  she  had 
to  do  to  get  into  a  hospital?  She  and  her 
husband  didn't  speak  nor  understand 
English  very  well.  Wouldn't  the  Com- 
munity Chest  help  her  get  into  a  hospital? 

The  young  woman  was  assured  that 


any  one  of  the  four  public  hospitals  would 
care  for  her  if  her  condition  called  for 
hospital  treatment,  provided  all  beds 
were  not  filled,  and  it  would  only  be 
necessary  for  her  to  make  application, 
relate  the  circumstances  and  submit  to 
examination  to  determine  the  nature  of 
her  trouble  and  treatment  necessary. 
She  was  given  instructions  as  to  where  to 
go  and  to  whom  to  apply,  and  the  hospital 
was  notified  by  telephone  that  she  would 
call. 

The  young  woman  went  from  the  Com- 
munity Chest  to  the  hospital,  and,  it  being 
found  upon  examination  and  investiga- 
tion that  she  needed  the  operation  and 
had  given  a  true  account  of  her  circum- 
stances, arrangements  were  made  to  take 
care  of  her  at  the  price  she  and  her 
husband  considered  they  were  able  to  pay. 
A  few  hours  later,  very  much  relieved,  the 
young  woman  called  at  the  Community 
Chest  and  reported: 

"Every  ting  all  right.  Hospital  take 
me,  eight  dollars  week." 

The  morning  of  the  day  the  young- 
woman  was  to  go  to  the  hospital  she 
called  at  the  Community  Chest  with  her 
four-months-old  baby,  and  made  the 
astonishing  announcement : 

'T  bring  baby  for  you  to  keep.  Go  to 
hospital  afternoon.  You  keep  baby  while 
I  there." 

The  young  mother  was  told  to  go  home 
with  her  baby  and  assurance  was  given 
her  that  provision  would  be  made  for 
the  care  of  the  infant. 

After  she  had  departed,  the  case  was 
reported  to  one  of  the  philanthropies  in 
the  Community  Chest  budget,  and  the 
same  afternoon  Mister  Baby  was  safely 
in  the  keeping  of  nurses  at  the  Industrial 
School  on  Exchange  Street.  The  In- 
dustrial School  recently  has  established  a 
night  nursery  in  connection  with  its  day 
nursery  work,  enabling  it  to  care  for 
children  of  sick  mothers  as  well  as  the 
children  of  working  mothers. 

Despite  the  fact  that  the  Community 
Chest   does  not  distribute  direct  relief.

which  is  the  work  of  the  various  philan- 
thropies for  which  it  raises  money,  scores 
of  people  bring  their  troubles  direct  to 
Chest  headquarters.  Since  the  close  of 
the  1920  campaign,  more  than  100  such 
appeals,  of  which  that  of  the  young 
woman  is  typical,  have  been  made.  In 
all  these   cases   the  applicants  were  re- 


ferred to  the  philanthropy  best  suited  to 
help  them,  and  the  philanthropy  made  a 
report  of  its  action  to  the  Community 
Chest.  Without  exception,  where  it  was 
shown  that  relief  was  necessary,  it  was 
given  promptly.  The  exceptions  were 
cases  that  did  not  justify  assistance. 


KEEP  HIM  AWAY  FROM  YOUR  HOUSE 


THOSE  of  us  who  have  had  an  en- 
counter with  that  arch-villain  "Flu," 
don't  care  for  another  visit.  He  is  a 
decidedly  disagreeable  and  dangerous 
visitor  and  we  want  to  do  all  we  possibly 
can  to  have  him  pass  us  by  this  winter. 

At  this  writing,  there  is  no  seeming 
tendency  tow^ards  another  Spanish  Influ- 
enza epidemic,  but  still  there  is  no  telling 
and  we  can  well  afford  to  observe  every 
possible  precaution. 

It  is  positively  known  that  influenza 
is  contagious,  which  means  that  it  is 
spread  by  the  transfer  of  germs  directly 
from  one  person  to  another,  or  indirectly 
by  articles  recently  used  by  persons  sick 
with  the  disease. 

The  particular  germ  responsible  for 
the  trouble  has  not  yet  been  found,  nor  is 
there  any  specific  cure.  Much  can  be 
done  to  prevent  the  spread  of  grip,  how- 
ever, and  also  to  insure  the  recovery  of 
those  who  are  taken  sick. 

The  great  danger  of  influenza  lies  in 
the  pneumonia  which  often  follows  an 
attack  as  a  complication.  Much  of  this 
danger  may  be  avoided  if  you  recognize 
the  trouble  early,  go  to  bed  at  once  and 
call  a  physician. 

All  cases  are  not  alike,  but  an  attack 
of  Spanish  Influenza  usually  begins  with 

1.  Headache. 

2.  Sneezing,  coughing  or  cold  in   the 
head. 

.3.  General  tired  feeling. 

4.  Aching  muscles. 

5.  Chills. 

If  you  have  one  or  all  of  the  above 
symptoms  go  at  once  to  tlie  Medical 
Department   and  find  out  if  you   have 


fever  or  rapid  pulse.  The  nurse  or  doctor 
will  decide  whether  you  ought  to  go  home 
or  remain  at  work. 


PRECAUTIONS 

^4.     If  you  are  well: 

1.  Avoid  crowds.  This  means  theatres, 
schools,  churches  and  street  cars.  The  De- 
partment of  Public  Safety  orders  all  such 
places  closed  until  the  epidemic  is  under  con- 
trol. Keep  at  least  six  feet  away  from  the 
cougher  or  sneezer,  and  better  still  avoid  him 
entirely. 

2.  It  is  of  the  greatest  importance  to  keep 
yourself  in  good  physical  condition.  To  ac- 
complish this, 

a.  Get  eight  hours  sleep  every  night. 

b.  Get  as  much  fresh  air  as  you  can  by  walk- 
ing to  and  from  work  whenever  possible,  and 
by  sleeping  with  windows  thrown  wide  open. 

c.  Eat  plenty  of  good,  nutritious  food. 

d.  Brush  teeth  morning  and  night. 

e.  Use  salt  water  (teaspoonf  ul  of  salt  to  the 
pint  of  water)  as  a  gargle  in  tliroat  and  as  a 
douche  in  the  nose  four  or  five  times  daily. 

/.  Don't  use  any  drinking  cup,  roller  towel 
or  handkerchief  used  b\-  another  person. 

B.     If  you  are  sick: 

1.  Remain  in  one  room  and  don't  permit 
anyone  but  nurse  or  physician  to  come  near 
you.

THE  "HOMEY"  TOUCH 


WHEN  it  comes  to  fixing  things  up 
right  around  the  house,  it  takes  a 
woman.  If  you  don't  believe  it,  ask  any 
married  man  who  has  tried  to  keep  house 
when  his  wife  was  away. 

Some  time  ago  it  was  decided  that  the 
"wimmen  folks"  in  the  Main  Office 
ought  to  have  a  rest  room  and  a  lunch 
room,  and  space  for  the  purpose  was  found. 

The  necessary  furnishings  were  pur- 
chased and  installed,  and  the  two  rooms 
appeared  as  shown  in  the  left  hand 
illustrations  on  page  14;  all  perfectly 
practical  and  well  suited  to  the  purpose, 


but  somehow  lacking  the  "homey"  touch. 
^Miat  more  could  you  expect  of  a  bunch 
of  mere  men  anyhow? 

So  some  of  the  girls  got  together  and 
induced  the  powers  that  be  to  let  them 
fix  things  up  a  bit. 

Real  fluffy  ruffle  curtains  for  the  win- 
dows, some  flowers,  a  few  pictures  on  the 
walls  and  a  piece  or  two  of  bright  cretonne 
cushioned  furniture  to  liven  things  up. 

The  lunch  room  really  didn't  need  any 
more  furniture,  but  how  the  window 
curtains  and  flower  boxes  do  help  out. 

Takes  the  women,  don't  it? 


THE  LONG  AND  SHORT  OF  IT 


IN  all  probability  you  have  seen  Dad  or 
big  brother  build  a  chicken  coop  or 
construct  something  else  equally  fascinat- 
ing— but  have  you  ever  seen  an  advertis- 
ing man  build  an  advertisement? 

When  you  look  through  one  of  the 
popular  magazines  and  see  all  the  different 
advertisements  it  contains,  you  might  get 
the  idea  that  because  there  are  so  many  of 
them  that  they  must  be  very  easy  to 
write. 

Because  most  of  the  Kodak  advertise- 
ments are  pictures  and  very  little  reading 
matter,  you  may  think  that  our  Adver- 
tising Department  has  an  easy  time  of  it. 

Here  is  a  true  story  of  one  of  our  ad- 
vertisements: During  the  war  most  of 
our  advertising  energies  were  directed 
towards  having  the  folks  at  home  send 
Kodak  pictures  of  home  happenings  to  the 
boys  in  camps  or  overseas. 

Our  Advertising  Department  has  on  its 
staff  quite  a  number  of  advertisement 
writers,  but  frequently  ^Nlr.  Jones,  the 
head  of  the  department,  likes  to  take  a 
hand.  Along  came  a  photograph  of  an 
officer  sitting  in  the  door  of  his  tent 
looking  at  a  little  Kodak  picture,  and 
Mr.  Jones  set  himself  down  to  write  the 
"copy"  necessary  to  go  with  it.  He 
propped  the  picture  up  in  front  of  him 
for  inspection  and  inspiration  and  he 
wrote — and  he  wrote;  at  the  end  of  four 


days  he  declared  himself  satisfied,  and  all 
there  was  to  the  advertisement  was  the 
picture  and  the  words — "The  Picture 
from  Home,"  followed  by  the  usual 
signature  of  the  company. 

Horace  Greeley  once  upon  a  time  was 
asked  bj^  a  friend  of  his  to  write  a  short 
editorial  or  some  topic  of  interest.  At  the 
time,  H.  G.  replied  that  he  didn't  have 
time  to  write  a  short  editorial. 

You  see  very  few  people  will  take  the 
time  to  read  a  long  advertisement,  so  the 
shorter  and  more  to  the  point  you  make 
your  advertising  message,  the  greater  your 
chances  will  be  of  having  it  read.  Almost 
without  exception,  the  shorter  the  mes- 
sage is  in  one  of  our  advertisements,  the 
longer  the  time  it  has  taken  to  write. 

Sometimes,  of  course,  but  all  too  infre- 
quently for  the  peace  of  mind  of  the 
advertising  statt",  just  the  right  words  will 
roll  from  the  pencil  point  in  a  flash,  but 
usually  the  advertisement  will  be  written 
and  re- written  and  re-wTitten  before  it 
gets  the  final  "O.K." 

In  the  fall  of  1888  in  the  Scientific 
American  appeared  the  first  Kodak  ad- 
vertisement; but  a  single  column  wide, 
and  less  than  two  and  one-half  inches  in 
length  and  costing  about  seventy  dollars; 
this  was  the  commencement  of  the  public- 
ity that  has  carried  the  name  "Kodak" 
around  the  world.

AND  NOW— TO  BUSINESS! 


It  has  been  said  of  us  by  a  European  statesman, 
that  America  knows  what  she  wants,  and  what  she 
wants  she  gets.  This  saying  was  clearly  exemphfied, 
not  only  by  the  national  election  of  last  month,  but 
also  by  the  enthusiasm  manifested 
in  the  Camera  AVorks  during  the 
Recreation  Club  nominations  and 
elections. 

It  was  deemed  advisable,  this 
first  year  of  permanent  organiza- 
tion, to  "throw  open"  the  nomina- 
tion ticket  in  order  that  each 
employee  might  express  his  choice 
of  a  candidate.  The  result  was 
a  wide  and  varied  selection  of 
people.  As  an  idea  of  the  magni- 
tude of  the  task  of  tabulating  the 
votes,  nominations  for  the  office 
of  President  totaled  forty-nine; 
for  Vice-president,  ninety-four;  for 
the  Board  of  Managers,  three  himdred  and  twenty, 
and  for  the  Auditing  Committee,  four  hundred 
and  twenty-five.  Truly  we  are  a  democratic  crowd! 
The  final  analysis  of  the  two  thousand,  one  hundred 
and  fifty-one  votes  resulted  in  the  following 
organization : 


President Charles  Rogers 

Vice-President Frank  O'Brien 

Secretary  and  Treasurer Herbert  S.  Thorpe 

^  ■     Board  of  Managers 
Margaret  Murphy    Charles  Kivell 
Blanche  Wing         Joseph  Sullivan 
Kathlyn  Westlake      Frank  Miller

At  the  time  of  %\Titing  the  first 
meeting  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee is  being  called  to  adopt 
a  Constitution  and  By-laws,  and 
also  to  ratify  a  budget  for  the 
coming  season. 

All  teams  and  organizations  of 
any  kind  and  all  meetings  and  articles  of  equipment 
must  be  indorsed  by  the  Secretary.  In  this  way 
we  can  make  a  real  pull-together  club,  where  all 
acts  are  recorded  in  the  club's  books,  and  where 
every  phase  of  amusement  gets  a  just  share  of 
the  proceeds  from  the  members  and  the  company. 


IX  THE  INTERESTS  OF  SERVICE 


The  installation  of  the  new  offices  of  the  Indus- 
trial Relations  Department  has  been  completed 
and  the  now  permanent  location,  in  Bldg.  4, 
1st  level,  is  easily  accessible  for  factory  and  outside 
business. 

The  Employment  Section  has  waiting  rooms  for 
men  and  women,  and  private  rooms  for  interviews 
regarding  employment  have  been  added.  The 
Factory  Fiction  Library  is  established  in  the 
Information  Room,  and  the  period  for  the  distribu- 
tion of  the  books  is  from  12:00  to  1:1.5.  All  em- 
ployees are  welcome  to  take  books  from  this  branch 
of  the  Rochester  Public  Library.  A  reference 
library  of  the  principal  trade  papers  is  kept  on  file 
for  the  benefit  of  superintendents  and  foremen, 
and  a  service  is  maintained  to  secure  technical  books 
from  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  the  local 
libraries. 

The  Kodak  Magazine — Camera  Works  Section — 
is  edited  from  this  Department,  and  employees  are 
invited  to  contribute  articles  for  publication.     A 


general  Information  Bureau  is  being  established, 
where  matters  of  employees'  interest  will  be  cared 
for  as  far  as  possible. 

A  regular  schedule  has  been  arranged  for  consulta- 
tions with  the  staff  of  the  Industrial  Relations 
Department.     Please  note  the  following  plan:

The  office  girls  have  formed  what  appears  to  be  a 
real  live  Bowling  League.  Four  teams  are  in  the 
schedule,  and  Helen  White  has  been  elected  Man- 
ager. The  League  has  christened  itself  "The 
Ko-Da-Kams."  Edith  Waterstraat,  Florence 
Waterstraat,  Edna  Joy  and  Gene  Klink  are  Cap- 
tains. The  teams  play  each  Friday  at  the  Genesee 
Hall,  from  6:00  to  8:00  o'clock,  on  alleys  No.  13, 
14,  15,  16.  Here's  a  chance  for  you  bowling  fans 
to  make  a  regular  night  of  it,  as  the  Men's  Bowling 
League  starts  at  8:00  o'clock  on  each  Friday. 


The  tragic  death  of  Alex.  Englert  on  November 
14th  caused  a  deep  feeling  of  sjTnpathy  throughout 
the  Camera  Works.  His  long  ser\'ice  with  the 
company  gained  for  him  many  friends.  Alex,  was 
a  foreman  in  the  Shutter  Room  during  the  pioneer 
days  of  Vest  Pocket  Shutters,  and  has  been  a  special 
repair  man  since  that  time.  Sincere  condolence  is 
extended  to  his  family. 


Jack  AValsh  sufTered  the  loss  of  his  baby  last 
month.     His  many  friends  offer  their  sjTnpathy. 


The  boys  of  the  Foreign  Shipping  Department 
extend  their  sympathy  to  Edward  Shearns  on  the 
death  of  his  sister,  who  passed  away  at  her  home  in 
Fairport. 


Stella  Sorg  has  left  the  Bellows  Department  to 

take  a  new  job,  that  of  housekeeping.     Stella  was 

married  a  short  time  ago,  and  the  girls  of  the  Bellows 

Department  offer  their  congratulations.  ,

In  order  to  fill  the  vacancy  of  foreman  in  the 
Tin  Shop,  caused  by  F.  Seiler  being  transferred  to 
the  Main  Office,  the  management  has  appointed 
Ed.  H.  Frank.  Everyone  knows  him.  Ed.  needs 
no  introduction,  ha\'ing  worked  in  the  Tin  Shop 
since  1913.  The  Foremen's  Group  is  glad  to 
welcome  him  into  their  organization,  and  we  wish 
him  success  in  his  new  position. 


Our  best  wishes  to  Avis  Whitbeck,  of  the  Bellows 
Department,  on  the  occasion  of  her  marriage. 


The  fast  Baker  Brownies — under  the  leadership 
of  Rutan — have  proved  to  be  a  winning  factor  in 
our  baseball  acti\'ities.  With  a  retiring  victory 
of  eight  to  two,  scored  from  a  picked  office  team, 
there  are  great  prospects  of  a  first-class  aggregation 
for  next  season. 


Irvin  Briggs,  Cost  Department,  is  a  mighty  happy 
man  these  days,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  he  now  has 
an  additional  visitor  at  his  house.  Gentlemen, 
meet  Betty  J.  Briggs;  age,  most  one  month. 


Nine  girls  from  the  Office  entertained  a  number  of 
their  friends  at  a  ma.squerade  party  in  the  Martin 
barn,  on  the  West  Henrietta  Road.  It  was  a 
regular  Hallowe'en  affair,  and  the  party  was  con- 
veyed to  and  from  the  barn  in  a  hay  wagon.  Plenty 
of  dancing  by  the  light  of  Jack-o-lanterns,  games 
of  all  kinds,  and  lots  of  good  things  to  eat  made  the 
evening  a  verv  enjoyable  one.  The  party  broke 
up  in  the  wee  small  hours,  winding  up  with  a  mock 
wedding.  Cabbage  heads  were  prominent  as  bridal 
bouquets  and  confetti. 


James  Baker  and  Agnes  Repp,  of  the  BuflBng 
Department  and  Stock  Record  respectively,  were 
married  on  October  12th.  All  of  us  wish  them 
every  happiness. 

Jack  Garliner  is,  among  other  actixnties,  quite  a 
famous  dance  promoter.  We  have  discovered  that 
he  is  one  of  the  "Happy  Two."  under  which  nom-de- 
plume  the  dances  are  run.  Leave  a  few  open  dates 
for  our  Recreation  Club  dances.  Jack,  and  then  we 
will  give  you  a  chance  to  sell  some  of  our  tickets. 


CHARLES  ROGERS 
President,  Camera  Works  Recreation  Club 


Rose  Ford,  of  the  Shutter  and  Inspection  room, 
put  over  a  nice  surprise  on  the  boys  and  girls  of  that 
department.  The  old  adage  that  a  woman  cannot 
keep  a  secret  has  certainly  l^een  throxMi  to  the 
■«-inds  in  this  case,  for  Rose  was  married  on  October 
18th,  and  nobody  in  the  Department  knew  of  the 
fact  for  some  davs.     Best  wishes.  Rose. 


William  Shubert,  of  the  Shutter  Department, 
is  the  proud  father  of  a  baby  girl,  born  on  October 
24th.     Good  bov.  Bill.

FANCIERS 

If  you  are  a  member  of  the  Recreation  Club  you 
are  welcome  to  join  the  Breeders'  Association,  and 
are  urged  to  do  so. 

Our  Association  last  year,  although  not  particu- 
larly large  in  membership,  was  a  great  success, 
largely  due  to  the  fact  of  our  affiliation  with  the 
Genesee  Valley  Poultry  and  Pet  Stock  Association. 
In  consequence  of  this  fact,  we,  as  the  Camera 
Works  Breeders,  show  our  fancy  stock  with  the 
Genesee  Show  at  Convention  Hall,  and  are  judged 
under  American  Poultry  Rules  by  licensed  judges. 

In  order  to  enlarge  the  appropriation  granted  to 
the  Breeders'  Association  from  the  funds  of  the 
Recreation  Club,  all  members  joining  this  Poultry 
Section  are  asked  to  pay  a  fee  of  2.>  cents,  which, 
together  with  the  appropriation,  will  be  spent  for 
prize  money,  premiums,  and  ribbons.

"CEMENTING  THE  BLOCKS" 

In  passing  the  Cathedral,  at  the  rear  of  our 
factory  buildings,  I  noticed  that  the  stone  masons 
were  chipping  out  the  old  mortar  between  the  large 
stone  blocks  (of  which  the  Cathedral  is  constructed) 
and  replacing  it  with  cement,  the  better  to  hold  the 
blocks  rigid  and  firm. 

Why  such  a  seemingly  common  thing  as  this 
should  impress  me  was  a  puzzle  at  the  time,  but 
later  the  impression  I  retained  was  resurrected. 
The  parallel  of  the  stone  masons'  job  and  the  theme 
of  this  article  was,  to  my  mind,  very  similar. 

Most  of  us — yes,  all  of  us — have  subscribed  to 
charity  in  some  form  or  the  other.  As  much  as  we 
may  dislike  to  do  it,  it  has  to  be  done.  There 
always  will  be  old  folks  who  have  no  means  of 
earning  a  living,  and  orphans  who  are  too  young 
to  earn  their  food  and  shelter,  and  cripples,  sick 
folks,  and  all  kinds  and  conditions  of  unfortunate 
persons  whom  we,  healthy,  independent,  able-to- 
work-people    must    support. 

Now — facing  facts— how  are  we  going  to  do  it.' 
Through  organized  charity  or  following  the  method 
of  "each  to  his  taste,"  is  your  complete  choice! 
Of  course,  you  will  agree  to  the  former  method,  for 
organization  is  the  only  business-like  method  of 
doing  business,  and  charity,  whether  we  like  it  or 
not,  is  everybody's  business.  This  is  where  my 
"stuck-away-in-the-corner"  idea  came  to  light 
again,  relative  to  "Cementing  the  Blocks." 
"Cementing  Friendship"  is  a  common  expression, 
but  "Cementing  Charity"  is  a  new  one,  yet  just  as 
necessary  to  our  peace  of  mind. 

This  is  how  it  works! 

Can  you  imagine  what  our  splendid  city  would  be 
like  if  all  the  aged  and  infirm,  cripples  and  unfor- 
tunates were  all  dependent  on  individually  applied 
charity.'  Turkey  has  a  "system"  (.')  based  on  the 
"individual  idea."  No  charitable  homes  or  institu- 
tions, no  orphan  asylums!  All  the  unfortunates,  plus 
the  worthless  and  lazy,  infest  every  street  corner 
and  building  crying  and  moaning,  "Alms,  alms." 
No  "Cementing  Blocks"  there!  No  attempt  to 
weed  out  the  undeser\-ing  from  the  legitimate  poor 
and  needy;  no  splendid  organizations  such  as  we 
boast  of  in  this  enlightened  hemisphere,  and  yet — 
do  we  always  appreciate  how  our  charities  are 
managed? 

Most  of  us  have  neither  the  time  nor  opportunity 
to  dive  very  deeply  into  the  whys  and  wherefores 
of  the  institutions  we  support,  but  we  believe  that 
an  efficient  administration  carries  on  and  distributes 
our  donations  through  the  Community  Chest  Fund. 
In  order  to  prove  our  belief,  however,  the  manage- 
ment of  the  Camera  Works  has  instructed  293 
foremen  and  representatives  to  visit  the  41 
institutions  supported  by  the  Community  Chest. 
The  committees  are  divided  into  groups  of  four  to 
six  persons,  with  a  chairman  in  each  group,  who 
reports  the  committee's  findings  as  to  the  necessity 
of  maintaining  the  institution  visited  and  the 
conduct  of  its  business. 

To  those  persons  who  are  apt  to  be  skeptical  as 
to  the  necessity  of  Community  Charity,  the  reports 
are  a  revelation  of  the  tremendous  amount  of  good 
our  small  sacrifice  accomplishes.

COST  DEPARTMENT  CORN  ROAST 

The  Frolics  of  Hallowe'en  were  outshone  by  the 
Frolics  of  the  Cost  Department  Gang,  when  thirty 
girls  and  boys  assembled  at  Bernice  Martin's  farm 
on  West  Henrietta  Road,  to  do  justice  to  sausages 
and  roast  corn,  the  moonlight,  and  all  the  accessories 
of  country  life. 

All  of  this  happened  on  a  Saturday,  so  there  was 
daylight  enough  for  the  usual  ball  game.  The  fun 
connected  with  our  national  sport,  however,  was 
totally  eclipsed  by  an  astronomical  act  evidently 
staged  for  Joe  Kersner.  A  telescope  was  set  up, 
purporting  to  be  an  instrument  capable  of  reviewing 
the  wonders  of  the  heavens,  and  discovering  Venus. 
.\ccording  to  all  evidence  the  blamed  thing  played 
"Old  Black  Joe,"  for  Kersner  came  out  of  the 
observation  tower  with  one  black  eye.  Next  time 
Joe  looks  through  a  telescope  he  is  going  to  close 
both  eyes  and  play  "safety  first."  No  record  is 
available  as  to  the  injury  inflicted  on  the  barnyard 
live  stock,  in  consequence  of  Myron  Hayes's  speech. 

Great  praise  is  due  to  Bernice  and  to  her  father 
for  their  kindness  in  lending  the  farm  and  the  horses 
and  wagon.  The  bunch  had  a  fine  time,  and  when 
somebody  in  the  crowd  whistled  Irving  Berlin's 
popular  song,  "How  are  You  Going  to  Keep  Them 
Down  on  the  Farm,  '  Billy  La\sTence  was  heard  to 
remark,  "It's  easy,  if  it's  Martin  place!"

entered  into  a  regular  "plot"  to  deceive  their  fore- 
man, Charles  Duffy.  This  statement  sounds  like 
"mutiny,"  but  the  fact  is  that  it  was  done  by 
the  boys,  in  collaboration  with  Mrs.  and  Miss 
Duffy,  just  to  show  Charles  how  much  they  thought 
of  him.  The  plot  took  the  form  of  a  s  irprise  party 
on  November  10th.  The  supper  was  an  admirable 
one  and  lots  of  fun  happened  afterwards.  Possibly 
the  favorite  turn  on  the  program  was  Joe  Mullen's 
famous  interpretation  of  that  pathetic  poem,  "The 
Face  on  the  Barroom  Floor."  The  boys  are  still 
in  doubt  as  to  whether  Joe  had  in  mind  any  partic- 
ular person  during  his  narration  of  the  poem,  but 
they  are  all  consoling  themselves  with  the  thought 
that  prohibition  has  taken  the  kick  out  of  every- 
thing.   

FAMOUS  FEET 

We  are  introducing  a  new  idea  by  running  this 
"feet"  puzzle  in  opposition  to  the  usual  "famous 
eyes"  pictm-es.  as  featured  in  motion  picture 
magazines.  The  picture  below,  however,  was  not 
posed  by  actresses,  but  by  three  well-known  office 
girls.  Here's  a  chance  for  some  amateur  Sherlock 
Holmes  to  do  a  little  "deducing." 


Fred  Group,  in  charge  of  the  elevators  and  pumps, 
in  the  basement  of  Bldg.  -t,  states  that  the  climate 
on  Sandford  Street  is  the  finest  in  the  state  and,  to 
prove  it,  Fred  brought  into  the  factory  on  Friday, 
November  I'Sth,  quite  an  appreciable  bunch  of 
roses  and  red  raspberries  on  the  stems.  All  this 
happened  on  a  morning  when  the  snow  was  falling 
and  the  thermometer  was  registering  twenty-eight 
to  thirty-two  degrees.  Fred  claims  that  he  is  the 
earUest  to  get  started  in  his  garden  and  the  last 
gardener  to  harvest  his  crops.

ELWOOD  J.  MATHER 

Here's  a  picture  of  the  youngest  baseball  and 
football  fan  in  Rochester!  Those  of  us  who 
attend  the  Ball  Park,  or  the  grid  at  University 
Field,  will  recognize  this  young  sportsman.  He  is 
the  son  of  Day  Mather,  Inspection  Department. 
Elwood  has  this  year  attended  34  baseball  games, 
and  every  football  game  of  the  U.  of  R.  We'll 
have  to  keep  an  eye  on  Elwood  for  a  possible  future 
Sports-Manager  of  the  Recreation  Club. 


ELWOOD  J.  MATHER 


The  Kodak  Park  Foremen's  Club  has  well  earned 
a  reputation  for  its  monthly  gatherings,  and  the 
Foremen's  Group  of  this  Plant  wishes  to  go  on  record 
as  appreciating  the  invitations  to  the  meetings. 

An  average  number  of  one  hundred  Camera 
Works  Foremen  joiuneys  down  to  the  "Park"  each 
month,  to  enjoy  the  excellent  food,  listen  to  the 
entertainment,  and  hear  a  lecture  on  some  inter- 
esting and  educational  topic. 

Frank  O'Brien,  of  the  State  Street  Group,  hopes 
to  be  able  to  return  at  least  a  part  of  the  compliment 
by  inviting  the  K.  P.  Club  to  share  with  some  of  the 
meetings  of  the  Camera  Works  Foremen. 


The  Crease  &  Cover  Department  extends  sym- 
pathy to  Estella  Curtiss,  Betty  Debert,  Louise 
Neuwirth,  Frank  Webster,  and  Margaret  Moen, 
who  have  all  suffered  recent  bereavements. 


Your  plant  editor  depends  largely  upon  the 
thoughtfulness  of  his  readers  to  keep  him  in  touch 
with  the  little  happenings  that  occur  within  the 
plant.  So,  please,  if  you  know  of  things  of  interest 
report  them  either  to  the  reporters,  or  to  the  plant 
editor. 

This  way  we  can  build  a  magazine  which  will  be 
of  interest  to  evervone. 


Two  more  weddings  from  the  Covering  Depart- 
ment: Anna  Boddery  to  John  VanderstjTi,  and 
Gussie  Epp  to  Harry  Meyer.  The  boys  and  girls 
of  the  Department  wish  the  happy  couples  all  kinds 
of  good  things. 


"BUDDIES" 

The  employees  of  the  Camera  Works  are  always 
wide  awake  to  current  events,  and  seventy-five 
ex-service  men  celebrated  Armistice  Day  to  their 
heart's  content.  Willard  J.  Lambert  (Kodak 
Assembling  Department),  Vice-President  of  the 
Guillod  Post,  was  responsible  for  the  arrangements 
for  an  excellent  banquet  and  entertainment  on 
Thursday,  November  11,  staged  at  Powers  Hotel. 

Mr.  Robertson  gave  a  splendid  talk  on  "The 
Value  of  Ex-Service  Men  to  the  Community,"  as 
also  did  Mr.  J.  Farrell,  Welfare  Officer  of  the  Legion, 
Monroe  Coimty,  who  took  for  his  subject,  "Welfare 
Legislature  of  the  United  States  Congress." 

The  gathering  was  entirely  unofficial,  as  regards 
the  American  Legion,  and  it  proved  that  the 
"Buddy"  spirit  of  the  "Laddies  who  fought  and 
won"  was  very  much  alive. 


RE-ORGANIZATION  OF 
FOREMEN'S  GROUP 

The  Foremen's  Group  completed  its  first  year  of 
organization  on  September  30th,  when  an  election 
was  held  to  vote  for  the  Executive  Committee  for 
the  ensuing  year. 

It  was  largely  through  the  Foremen's  Group  that 
the  Story  Tellers  Class  was  formed,  and  to  Frank 
O'Brien  goes  the  credit  of  starting  the  ball  rolling 
by  an  excellent  presentation  of  his  paper  on  "The 
Knowledge  of  Photography  as  an  Asset  to  the 
Foremen." 

The  elected  Committee  for  the  present  season, 
from  October,  1920  to  October,  1921,  is  as  follows: 

Office F.  O'Brien 

Tool B.  Williams

Frank  O'Brien  as  Chairman,  Milton  Darling, 
Vice-Chairman,  and  Bert  Williams  as  Secretary. 
Rules  have  been  adopted  governing  procedures, 
relative  to  Joint  Committees,  and  the  group  has 
become  a  vital  part  of  the  Camera  Works 
organization. 


Jennie  Hewitt,  the  popular  representative  of  the 
Shutter  Room,  has  been  absent  from  the  depart- 
ment for  some  weeks,  on  accoimt  of  serious  sickness. 
We  are  glad  to  welcome  her  back  to  work  with  us 
again.

KODAK  PARK  MONDAY  BOWLING 
LEAGUE 

On  Monday,  October  18th,  was  rolled  the  first 
series  of  the  games  in  the  new  Kodak  Park  Monday 
League.  This  league  was  organized  solely  for  trick 
workers  and  is  composed  of  six  teams,  one  team  from 
each  trick  in  Building  No.  29  and  Department  No. 
50. 

At  a  meeting  held  October  18th,  the  following 
officers  were  elected  for  the  present  season : 

George  A.  Clark.  Bldg.  No.  29 — Sec. 
Ivan  H.  Ball,  Bldg.  No.  50— Treas.

K.  P.  A.  A.  ORCHESTRA  REORGANIZED 

The  Kodak  Park  Athletic  Association  orchestra 
has  been  reorganized  under  the  direction  of  Prof. 
Fred  "Dossie"  Dierdorf  and  will  furnish  music  for 
dancing  each  noon  in  the  Assemblv  Hall  from  12:20 
to  12:50. 

This  activity  has  been  very  popular  in  past  years 
and  was  largely  instrumental  in  the  organization  of 
a  Kodak  Park  orchestra.

OUTLAWS  WIN  ANOTHER  PENNANT 

The  completion  of  the  fall  series  in  the  Noon  Hour 
League  shows  the  Outlaw  team  once  more  the  win- 
ner. In  the  "World  Series"  against  the  All-Stars 
they  were  again  successful,  giving  them  the  undis- 
puted championship  of  the  Park. 

About  150  persons,  players,  fans  and  razzers,  at- 
tended the  banquet  held  in  the  Assembly  Hall  on 
Thursday  evening,  November  18th.  The  dinner 
was  followed  by  the  showing  of  a  good  motion  pic- 
ture and  other  entertainment.  Music  was  fur- 
nished by  the  newly-organized  Kodak  Park  orchestra.

KODAK  PARK  GOLF  TOURNAMENT 

After  numerous  requests  a  golf  tournament  was 
held  by  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  the  last  of  October  and  the 
interest  shown  convinced  Manager  Welles  that 
something  along  this  line  would  be  popular. 

Fifteen  entries  were  received  and  matches  were 
plaved  up  to  the  finals. 

Fred  Willis  of  Building  No.  35  and  P.  H.  Case 
were  to  meet  in  this  event  to  decide  the  Park  cham- 
pionship, but  due  to  the  fact  that  the  greens  were 
closed  before  the  match  could  be  played  it  was  neces- 
sary to  postpone  it  until  spring.  Much  speculation 
is  being  indulged  in  as  to  who  will  be  the  winner. 
Plans  will  be  perfected  during  the  winter  for  a  real 
tournament  next  year.  All  persons  wishing  to  com- 
pete must  send  in  their  names  before  June  1st.  They 
will  then  be  expected  to  submit  their  best  score  each 
month  until  September  1st,  at  which  time  a  rating 
list  will  be  prepared  and  suitable  handicaps,  based 
on  these  scores,  allowed.  The  matches  will  then  be 
played  off  during  September  and  October  and  the 
winners  will  be  awarded  prizes  of  a  suitable  nature. 
If  3'ou  play  golf,  keep  this  in  mind. 


TESTERS  HOLD  ANOTHER 
BO\M.ING  PARTY 

If  there  is  one  thing  that  the  Testing  Department 
is  noted  for,  it  is  their  bowling  parties.  The  most 
recent  one  was  held  on  Friday,  October  !29th,  which 
proved  to  be  as  successful   and  enjoyable  as  any. 

Captain  Lennon  tried  so  hard  for  a  90  score  that 
he  had  to  have  first  aid  treatment  (to  his  clothes). 
Hushard  and  Thibault  gave  an  interesting  exhibit 
of  fancy  dancing  and  the  "band"  was  a  big  hit. 

The  winter  is  young  and  it  is  expected  that  this 
party  will  be  followed  by  others  during  the  year. 


HOW  GOOD  IS  OUR  TEAM? 

The  question  which  remains  to  be  answered  is — 
"What  can  our  new  basketball  team  do  against 
the  better  class  of  teams  we  are  to  play  this 
season.''" 

"Rip"  Benzoni  is  again  in  charge  of  the  team 
and  will  play  at  one  of  the  guard  positions.  George 
Willis,  a  former  University  player  of  repute,  Earl 
Jones,  "  Bob  "  Heaney  and  E.  Bonhurst  of  last  year's 
team  are  also  available,  which  takes  care  of  the  de- 
fensive end  in  fine  shape.  Wilbur  Woodams  of  the 
Hawk-Eye  Works,  another  University  of  Rochester 
star,  is  playing  one  of  the  forward  positions  with 
Ralph  Ticlmor  of  Springfield  Training  School  op- 
posite him.  Jack  Brightman,  captain  of  last  sea- 
son's team,  is  showing  his  usual  speed  and  can  be 
coimted  upon  for  a  good  season.  In  Johnson,  another 
Hawk-Eye  man,  it  is  believed  that  we  have  secured 
a  center  who  will  be  able  to  take  care  of  any  man 
he  may  be  pitted  against  and  with  J.  Rockcastle  to 
relieve  him,  this  position  seems  to  be  O.  K. 

Other  industrial  concerns  in  the  city  have  been 
busy  working  up  teams  which,  without  an  excep- 
tion, will  be  first  class.  On  paper  the  Kodak  team 
looks  like  a  winner,  but  our  calculations  are  based 
largely  on  the  performances  in  the  past  of  the  other 
teams  we  have  met.  These  will  be  better  this  season 
and  the  fans  are  anxiously  awaiting  the  opening  of 
the  season  to  determine  just  what  we  have.  The 
teams  on  the  schedule  are  all  good  ones  and  it  will 
take  a  good  team  to  defeat  them. 

The  interest  of  the  fans  will  be  a  large  factor  in 
bolstering  up  the  spirit  of  the  boys.  Let  them 
attend  the  games  and  through  their  moral  support 
become  part  of  this  team  which  means  so  much  to 
Kodak. 

Games  will  be  played  every  Saturday  evening  and 
will  be  followed  by  dancing,  Damon's  orchestra  to 
furnish  the  music.

JOIN  THE  ROOTERS  CLUB! 

It  has  been  decided  to  form  a  "Rooters"  Club  at 
Kodak  Park  to  engage  in  consistent  cheering  at  the 
basketball  games  during  the  coming  winter.  The 
cheering  will  be  led  by  Jack  Kcnnerson  who  has  had 
considerable  experience  along  this  line  and  it  is  re- 
quested that  all  those  who  wish  to  become  affiliated 
with  this  activity  send  their  names  to  the  K.  P.  A. 
A.  Office  at  once. 

In  order  to  secure  a  number  of  appropriate  "yells" 
it  has  been  decided  to  ofi'er  a  prize  of  one  dollar  for 
every  one  accepted.  Get  busy,  write  one  out,  and 
send  it  to  Manager  Goodridge! 

The  importance  of  this  movement  has  been  clear- 
ly demonstrated  in  connection  with  all  scholastic 
athletics.  The  stimulation  and  encouragement 
which  it  gives  the  players  is  most  valuable  and  also 
it  will  be  a  good  legitimate  way  to  let  off  steam. 


KODAK  PARK  WINS  AT  SHERRILL,  N.Y. 

Only  a  few  soccer  games  remain  to  be  played  in 
the  1920  fall  series.  Among  these  is  the  contest 
with  the  McXaughton  Rangers  in  the  third  round 
of  the  National  Cnp  Competition.  The  boys  scored 
a  1-0  victory  over  the  Oneida  Community  at 
Sherrill. 

Through  the  active  interest  of  the  officers  of  our 
team,  new  men  are  being  signed  from  time  to  time, 
they  recently  having  secured  the  servicesof  T.  Clegg, 
J.  Simm  and  W.  Mears  and  A.  Norton. 

Due  to  bad  weather  and  injured  players  during 
the  past  season  the  record  made  by  the  team  is  not 
all  that  we  might  wish.  However.  President  Allar- 
dice  and  Secretary  Rife  are  already  making  plans 


for  the  spring  and  promise  to  have  a  team  of  which 
Kodak  Park  can  well  be  proud. 

MONTHLY  MEETINGS  OF  FOREMEN'S 
CLUB  RES  I  MED 

The  Monthly  Dinner  Meetings  of  the  Kodak  Park 
Foremen's  Club  were  resumed  on  Thursday,  Octo- 
ber 14th.  Fred  Grastorf  started  things  off  with  one 
of  his  excellent  "Party"  feeds.  About  42.5  men  were 
present,  which  is  the  largest  number  ever  enter- 
tained by  the  club. 

Edwin  M.  Whitney  of  the  famous  Whitney  quar- 
tette gave  a  reading  of  George  M.  Cohan's  big  hit, 
"Hit-the-Trail  HoUiday."  The  excellent  manner  in 
which  it  was  rendered  was  thoroughly  appreciated 
by  those  present  and  many  expressions  were  heard 
approving  the  committee's  selection.  We  are  inter- 
ested to  learn  that  Mr.  Whitney  is  a  friend  of 
Arthur  L.  Tenny.  Foreman  of  the  Film  Pack 
Department. 

Damon's  Orchestra  put  the  finishing  touches  on 
the  entertainment  by  the  wonderful  music  they 
provided. 

Frank  Jewell  Raymond,  the  "Human  Dynamo." 
entertained  the  club  at  the  November  meeting  held 
Thursday,  November  11th.  At  this  meeting  the 
following  officers  were  elected  for  the  coming  year: 

President John  Schaeffer

BEST  WISHES  TO  C.  E.  TIRRELL 

The  many  friends  of  Charles  E.  Tirrell  will  be 
glad  to  know  that  both  he  and  Mrs.  Tirrell  safely 
completed  their  journey  across  the  Atlantic,  and 
that  he  has  already  taken  up  his  duties  with  Kodak 
Ltd.,  at  the  Works,  Wealdstone,  Middlesex, 
England. 

Mr.  Tirrell  made  many  strong  friends  in  the 
short  time  he  was  in  the  Engineering  and  Mainte- 
nance Department  at  Kodak  Park,  w^hich  is  just 
another  way  of  saying  that  a  uniformly  courteous 
manner,  a  disposition  hard  to  ruffle,  and  a  desire 
to  understand  the  other  fellow's  point  of  view,  help 
very  materially  in  a  man's  business  relationships. 

The  receipt  at  Kodak  Park  on  the  date  he  sailed 
from  New  York,  September  15th,  of  the  announce- 
ment of  his  marriage  in  St.  Louis,  was  a  surprise 
indeed,  for  he  had  not  given  his  friends  even  a  hint 
of  his  intentions. 


CHARLES  E.  TIRRELL 

A  subscription  list  intended  to  be  limited  to  some 
half  dozen  of  those  most  closely  associated  with  him 
at  Kodak  Park  was  raised  by  popular  demand  to 
forty-four  names,  and  a  draft  forwarded  to  Mr. 
Walter  G.  Bent,  Manager  of  the  Works  at  Weald- 
stone, who  was  formerly  Assistant  Superintendent 
of  Building  No.  3.5  at  Kodak  Park  and  a  strong 
personal  friend  of  Mr.  Tirrell.  With  Mrs.  Bent's 
co-operation,  a  breakfast  dish  in  Prince's  plate 
and  a  pair  of  Louis  solid  handle  "carvers,"  all 
appropriately  engraved,  have  been  presented  to 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tirrell,  with  the  congratulations  and 
best  wishes  of  the  E.  and  M.  Department. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tirrell  have  announced  their  home 
address  as  Harrow-on-the-Hill,  Middlesex,  England . 


DEPARTMENTAL  BASKETBALL 

Following  out  the  policy  of  other  years,  a  depart- 
mental basketball  league  will  be  formed  some  time 
during  this  month,  composed  of  teams  representing 
the  different  departments  at  Kodak  Park. 

In  past  seasons  some  very  good  material  has  been 
developed  through  this  activity,  and  a  keen  spirit 
of  rivalry  has  been  apparent. 

The  games  will  be  played  at  a  time  most  conven- 
ient for  the  greater  majority  and  some  good  sport 
is  assured.  Employees  of  the  different  departments 
are  urged  to  support  their  teams  in  this  league. 


THE  BOWLERS  HAVE  THE  FLOOR 

Bowling  is  well  imder  way  at  Kodak  Park.  With 
three  leagues  composed  of  our  employees,  the  K.  P. 
A.  A.  League,  Yard  League,  Monday  Shift  Men's 
League,  and  a  team  in  the  Camera  League,  we  are 
very  well  represented  in  this  branch  of  sport. 

The  regular  K.  P.  A.  A.  League  games  are  rolled 
Thursday  evening,  the  Yard  on  Tuesday  evening, 
Camera  League  on  Saturday  afternoon  and  the 
Shift  Men  on  Monday,  some  of  the  games  being 
rolled  in  the  morning  at  10  A.  M.  and  the  others  at 
4:30  P.  M.  All  matches  are  held  at  the  Genesee 
Bowling  Hall  on  South  Avenue. 

The  usual  interest  is  being  shown  by  those  who 
participate,  but  very  few  persons  turn  out  to  witness 
the  games.  Stop  in  at  the  Genesee  occasionally  if 
it  is  only  for  half  an  hour.  Your  interest  will  be 
encouraging. 


HARRIET  NOBLES  TO  CAPTAIN  GIRLS' 
BASKETBALL  TEAM 

Election  was  held  on  Monday,  November  8th,  to 
decide  on  the  person  to  captain  the  team  this  season 
and  this  honor  went  to  Harriet  Nobles  of  the  Pur- 
chasing Department. 

Charlie  Thompson  and  Jack  Brightman  who  are 
coaching  the  team  report  that  splendid  progress  has 
been  made  and  it  is  their  opinion  that  little  diffi- 
culty will  be  experienced  in  defeating  any  team  they 
may  meet.  The  loss  of  the  city  championship  last 
year  was  a  hard  blow  to  the  girls  and  thej'  are  start- 
ing out  this  season  with  a  firm  intention  of  winning 
this  title. 

Among  those  who  are  trying  for  positions  are 
Elizabeth  Fratter,  Harriet  Nobles,  Julia  Thayer, 
Betty  Nobles,  Ethel  Stuck,  Celia  Korn,  Gladys  Bir- 
cher,  Ethel  Lush,  Gertrude  Bock,  Leta  Bidwell, 
Gertrude  Skinner,  Ethel  Lee  and  Edith  Lee. 

Remember  the  good  times  you  used  to  have  when 
the  girls'  team  played  in  past  seasons 't  Well,  this 
year  will  be  a  repetition.  Start  with  the  opening 
game  and  follow  them  through  the  winter.  Your 
help  will  make  a  difference  every  time. 

FRED  W.  McMILLAN  LEAVES 
KODAK  PARK 

Kodak  Park  and  the  Kodak  Park  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation lost  an  ardent  and  sincere  booster  when  Fred 
W.  McMillan,  foreman  of  the  Black  Paper  Labora- 
tory, left  the  employ  of  the  company  to  take  up  his 
residence  in  Florida. 

"Mac"  has  been  at  the  Park  for  the  past  ten  years, 
coming  here  from  Columbus,  Ohio,  with  the  Artura 
Paper  Company.  From  the  start  he  has  been  a  sup- 
porter of  all  things  Kodak  and  has  served  on  several 
Liberty  Loan  and  Community  Chest  Committees.

KODAK  PARK  DANCE  SERIES  STARTS 
WITH  BLAZE  OF  GLORY 

Pretty  girls  in  pretty  costumes,  jolly  men,  Hallow- 
e'en decorations,  excellent  music  and  many,  many 
gallons  of  real  old-fashioned  sweet  cider  were  some 
of  the  reasons  for  the  great  success  of  the  Hallowe'en 
Masquerade,  the  first  of  the  1920-21  dance  series, 
held  in  the  Kodak  Park  Assembly  Hall  on  Friday 
evening,  October  29th.  The  crowd  was  almost  en- 
tirely composed  of  Kodak  people  and  for  this  reason 
was  doubly  successful. 

It  was  gratifying  to  note  the  number  of  company 
officials  and  their  wives  who  attended,  and  Dr. 
Reid,  President  of  the  Association,  is  to  be  congratu- 
lated on  the  success  of  his  efforts  to  have  these  peo- 
ple present. 

The  responsibilities  of  the  Judges,  Mrs.  A.  Thomp- 
son, Mrs.  J.  H.  Haste,  Mrs.  P.  S.  Wilcox,  Mrs.  D. 
E.  Reid,  Mrs.  C.  K.  Flint,  Mrs.  A.  F.  Sulzer,  Mrs. 
L.  Burrows,  Mrs.  F.  W.  Lovejoy  and  Mrs.  H.  E. 
Van  Derhoef ,  were  many  and  it  was  extremely  diffi- 
cult to  arrive  at  a  decision  as'  to  who  should  be 
awarded  the  prize,  in  view  of  the  large  variety  of 
excellent  designs  in  costumes.  Some  of  these  were 
very  unique  and  after  much  time  and  considera- 
tion the  winners  were  announced  as  follows:  Girls' 
prettiest,  Agnes  Fisher,  Main  Office;  Mildred  Wade, 
E.  &  C.  Dept.;  Elizabeth  Ferguson,  Box  Dept. 
Girls'  most  original:  Julia  Kolb,  Inside  Pasting 
Dept.;  Jenny  Wyman,  Plate  Dept.;  Myrtle  Reiber. 
Girls'  most  comical:  Katherine  Rapp,  Film  School; 
Ethel  Lush,  Lacquer  &  Mtg.  Tissue  Dept.;  Lot- 
tie Wattell.  Men's  most  elaborate:  Fred  J.Scherer; 
Wm.  Carey,  E.  &  C.  Dept.;  Harold  Welner,  Dept. 
No.  50.  Men's  most  original:  E.  Hill,  D.  O.  P. 
Ctg.  Dept.;  Geo.  Crane,  Tool  Room;  Erwin  Mil- 
ler. Men's  most  comical:  Earl  Hendrix;  Sylves- 
ter Doyle,  Mr.  Gillan's  Office;  Joseph  INIeisch, 
Camera  Works. 

The  sale  of  the  season  books  has  met  with  quite 
general  approval  and  a  good  number  of  them  have 
been  purchased. 

The  second  dance  of  the  series  was  held  on  Friday 
evening,  November  26th.  Damon's  Orchestra  fur- 
nished the  music  and  this  party  proved  equally  en- 
joyable. 

Anna  Polliden  and  James  H.  Shannon  embarked 
on  the  sea  of  matrimony  recently.  "Harvey" 
is  regularly  located  in  the  D.  O.  P.  Ctg.  Depart- 
ment and  was  the  recipient  of  a  beautiful  clock 
from  his  numerous  friends  in  the  department  who 
extend  their  best  wishes  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Shannon 
for  a  life  of  real  happiness. 


The  stork  visited  the  home  of  Ben  Jones  of  the 
Pow'er  Department  on  October  6th.  "Ben"  is 
now  the  proud  father  of  a  br!;:lit  and  pretty  little 
daughter. 


We  have  reason  to  believe  that  the  marriage  bug 
is  at  work  again  in  Building  No.  36.  The  boys  of 
the  Plate  Emulsion  Department  are  carefully 
watching  C.  Fred  Maggs,  who  has  been  making 
regular  trips  to  Naples,  N.  Y.,  during  the  past 
summer  and  he  was  heard  to  remark  with  a  sigh, 
not  long  ago,  that  he  wislied  other  things  would 
come  down  in  price  besides  autos. 


PAYING  A  FRIENDLY  ELECTION  BET 

Louise  Kohler  and  John  A.  Peacock  were  married 
Tuesday,  October  26th.  On  Wednesday  evening, 
October  13th,  the  girls  of  the  department  gave  the 
bride  a  variety  shower  at  the  home  of  Louise  Keller 
at  which  she  received  many  beautiful  and  useful 
gifts.  A  theatre  party  at  the  Temple  Theatre  and 
supper  were  given  on  October  23rd  by  Marie  Powers. 


Wednesday  morning,  November  3rd.  a  very  pretty 
wedding  took  place  at  the  Church  of  the  Sacred 
Heart,  when  ^'iola  Whitfield  became  the  bride  of 
Raymond  Fetzner.  The  bride  was  given  in  mar- 
riage by  her  father.  The  girls  of  the  Packing  and 
Sealing  Department  gave  the  bride  a  variety  shower. 
The  gifts  included  cut  glass  and  silver.    Best  of  luck  I 


Teresa  Scully  has  returned  to  work  after  absence 
of  several  months,  fullv  restored  to  health. 


On  Tuesday,  October  19th,  Clara  Faker  and  Leslie 
Schmanke  entered  upon  the  proverbial  "sea  of 
matrimony."  Clara  is  one  of  the  popular  Velox 
girls  and  the  expressions  of  good  will  of  her  fellow 
employees  are  most  hearty. 

Mildred  Miuard. one  of  the  most  popular  employ- 
ees of  the  Box  Department,  died  on  Saturday. Octo- 
ber 23rd.  Tlie  funeral  was  attended  by  Mr.  Wignall 
and  a  delegate  appointed  from  among  the  employees. 


We  extend  to  Anna  Cosgrove  of  the  Box  Depart- 
ment our  sincere  sympathy  in  her  recent  bereave- 
ment, the  death  of  her  brother  Patrick,  which  oc- 
curred on  October  2.5th.

VISIT  TO    THE    FRIENDLY    HOME    AND 
THE  ROCHESTER  ORPHAN  ASYLUM 

A  committee  of  Kodak  Park  employees  visited 
the  Friendly  Home  for  the  Aged  and  the  Rochester 
Orphan  Asylum  and  express  themselves  as  very 
much  pleased,  finding  conditions  even  better  than 
expected. 

The  Friendly  Home  was  visited  first.  Mrs.  Lee, 
the  Superintendent,  had  to  attend  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  Directors  of  the  Home,  which  was 
being  held  on  this  day,  making  it  impossible  for 
her  to  accompany  us  tlirough  the  building;  but  we 
were  shown  about  by  one  of  the  inmates  who,  by 
the  way,  was  83  years  of  age,  and  has  been  at  the 
Home  for  over  twenty  years.  We  were  invited 
to  attend  the  meeting  of  the  Board,  and  although 
able  to  stay  only  a  short  time,  we  were  greatly 
impressed  by  the  businesslike  manner  in  which  it 
was  being  conducted. 

The  rooms  are  very  neat  and  clean,  with  plenty 
of  light  and  air,  also  hot  and  cold  water  in  each. 
Two  doctors  are  available  at  all  times,  and  three 
nurses  are  in  attendance,  working  in  eight-hour 
shifts,  one  being  on  duty  all  the  time.  At  present 
there  are  116  persons  at  the  Home,  this  representing 
the  capacity  of  the  institution,  although  there  are 
many  on  the  waiting  list.  Among  the  number  who 
are  there  at  present  are  ten  widowers  and  three 
couples.  One  of  the  persons  with  whom  we  talked 
was  a  gentleman  89  years  old  who  has  been  in  the 
Home  one  and  one-half  years.  Up  to  a  few  days 
previous  to  our  visit  he  had  never  been  in  need  of  a 
doctor's  attention  at  any  time.  He  expressed  him- 
self as  perfectly  satisfied  with  all  conditions  and 
stated  that  the  institution  was  a  Home  in  every 
sense  of  the  word. 

On  our  visit  to  the  Rochester  Orphan  Asylum, 
Mr.  William  F.  Van  Dohlen,  the  superintendent, 
conducted  us  through  the  institution.  The  methods 
we  found  in  use  here  are  highly  commendable. 

Seven  cottages  were  in  use  at  this  time,  accom- 
modating 1G2  children.  Each  cottage  is  in  charge 
of  a  Mother  and  assistant,  being  an  institution  in 
itself.  In  each  of  these  cottages  are  quartered 
between  20  and  2.5  children,  either  boys  or  girls. 
Meals  are  prepared  and  served  for  the  occupants 
by  the  Mother,  and  each  cottage  has  its  dining  room, 
baths,  dormitory,  and  playroom. 

A  new  cottage,  the  eighth  in  number,  known  as 
the  William  S.  Ely  cottage,  was  just  finished  and 
ready  for  occupancy.  This  cottage  and  the  entire 
equipment  is  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Arthur  D.  Budd, 
formerly  Mrs.  Wm.  S.  Ely  in  memory  of  her  son, 
Lieut.  Wm.  S.  Ely,  who  gave  his  life  in  the  late 
war.  It  is  modern  in  every  detail,  and  a  valuable 
addition  to  the  institution. 

There  are  at  present  26  children  who  by  different 
means  are  earning  a  little  money  for  work  they  are 
able  to  do.  Ten  children  are  in  East  High  School, 
seven  in  Vocational  School,  and  one  in  Junior  High 
School,  specializing  in  music.  The  children  are 
happy,  and  every  possible  opportunity  is  afforded 
them  with  the  view  of  making  good  men  and  women. 

We  appreciate  this  opportunity  of  seeing  how 
these  institutions  are  being  conducted,  and  realize 
how  well  the  money  we  have  given  to  the  Commun- 
ity Chest  is  being  expended. 

The  people  in  charge  are  always  ready  and  willing 
to  entertain  visitors,  and  we,  in  behalf  of  those  in 


charge,  extend  an  invitation  to  you  to  pay  them  a 

visit.

VISIT  TO  THE  GENERAL  HOSPITAL 

The  committee  from  Kodak  Park  selected  by  the 
Community  Chest  Executive  Committee  visited 
the  General  Hospital  on  November  1st. 

In  the  absence  of  ^liss  Keith,  the  superintendent, 
we  met  ]\Iiss  Smith,  the  assistant  superintendent,  to 
whom  we  explained  the  object  of  our  coming.  Miss 
Smith  told  us  that  we  were  at  liberty  to  see  every- 
thing in  the  ho.spital  and  that  she  would  gladly 
answer  any  questions  which  we  might  ask.  Miss 
Smith  stated  that  any  complaints  would  be  im- 
mediately investigated,  but  emphasized  the  impor- 
tance of  reporting  complaints  as  soon  as  possible. 
The  tour  of  the  hospital  took  us  through  the 
men's,  women's  and  chihlren's  warfls.  These  wards 
were  cleari,  liright  and  orderly.  In  the  last  ward 
some  patients  are  kept  for  months.  For  these 
children  a  miniature  playground  is  maintained  with 
swings,  sandbox,  etc.,  and  indoors  there  is  a  school- 
room for  general  educational  work. 

The  laundry,  kitchen  and  dining  room  are  modern 
and  show  the  result  of  good  housekeeping.  All 
the  food  for  the  patients  is  cooked  in  the  one  kitchen, 
and  then  distributed  to  the  various  diet  kitchens  on 
the  several  floors  that  are  provided  with  both  steam 
tables  and  ice  boxes  for  the  proper  care  of  the  food. 
The  nurses'  dining  room  provides  for  one  hundred 
and  thirty  people  and  is  of  the  self-service  type. 

One  of  the  best  features  brought  to  our  attention 
was  the  "Department  of  Personal  Relationship," 
in  charge  of  Miss  Northrup.  Miss  Northrup  is 
ready  at  any  time  to  explain  to  patient,  relative 
or  friend,  anything  which  may  not  be  clear.  It  is 
part  of  her  duty  to  send  telegrams,  write  letters, 
assist  in  arranging  business  or  personal  matters,  and 
listen  to  complaints.  A  room  is  also  provided  her 
in  which  she  may  take,  during  an  operation,  the 
relatives  or  friends  who  may  be  anxiously  waiting 
the  outcome.  This  room  is  equipped  for  making 
tea  anfl  toast. 

It  also  developed  that  at  present  it  was  costing 
between  $4.50  and  $,5.00  per  day  to  take  care  of 
each  patient.  Their  lowest  rate  is  now  $2.00  per 
day,  so  tlic  difference  is  being  partly  supplied  by  the 
Commimity  Chest. 

We  left  this  institution  pleased  with  what  we  had 
seen  and  satisfied  that  an  honest  effort  is  being 
made  in  every  case,  either  to  explain  their  reason 
for  action  or  to  correct  immediately  any  failure  on 
their  part  to  do  their  full  duty.

KODAK  PARK  LAUNDRY 
A  BUSY  DEPARTMENT 

Rapid  strides  have  been  made  in  increasing  the 
size  and  facilities  of  the  Kodak  Park  Laundry  since 
it  was  first  organized  in  1909.  When  first  located 
in  Building  No.  14,  only  towels  were  washed,  using 
a  machine  which  handled  100  at  a  time.  Due  to 
the  increase  in  demand  for  this  work  the  departn  ent 
was  moved  to  Building  No.  30  and  from  there  to 
Shed  A-7,  where  a  complete  and  up-to-date  equip- 
ment was  installed. 

A.  J.  Brown,  in  charge  of  this  work,  has  supplied 
us  with  some  figures  which  will  give  an  idea  of  the 
volume  of  work  being  turned  out  by  his  department, 
the  following  being  a  copy  of  his  records  for  the 
month  of  August,  1920: 

Department  towels,  38,746;  small  individual 
towels,  101,775;  large  individual  towels,  13,249; 
sheets,  101;  pillow  cases,  102;  spreads,  20;  napkins, 
565;  ladies'  imiforms,  75;  white  aprons,  902; 
jumpers  and  overalls,  1,200;  table  cloths,  10;  coats, 
114. 

Work  is  also  being  done  for  several  of  the  other 
branches,  as  well  as  the  Park.

THE   KODAK  MAGAZINE 


It  is  with  regret  that  we  learn  of  the  death  of 
Ernest  D.Lloyd,  a  former  employee  of  the  Recovery 
Department.  Previous  to  his  coming  to  Kodak 
Park,  Mr.  Lloyd  served  in  the  Canadian  Army  dur- 
ing the  entire  period  of  the  war,  coming  through 
without  a  scratch.  Although  he  had  been  at  the 
Park  only  a  short  time  he  had  made  many  friends, 
due  particularly  to  his  genial  di.sposition,all  of  whom 
extend  to  his  surviving  relatives  most  sincere  sym- 
pathy. 


Fred  ^^'.  Wright,  who  has  been  connected  with  the 
Drafting  Department  for  about  a  year,  left  Friday, 
September  :24th,  for  Kingsport,  Tenn.  Mr.  Wright, 
who  is  a  graduate  of  Cornell  L'niversity,  1917.  in 
Mechanical  Engineering,  has  the  best  wishes  of  the 
boys  in  his  promotion  and  we  are  sure  Mr.  Wilcox 
will  have  an  able  and  valuable  addition  to  his  engi- 
neering staff. 


We  at  Kodak  Park  are  pleased  to  learn  that  a 
daughter  has  been  added  to  the  "Walter  G."  branch 
of  the  Bent  family  and  is  to  be  called  by  the  very 
attractive  name  of  Betty  Bent.  The  many  friends 
made  by  Walter  during  the  years  he  was  at  Kodak 
Park  as  Assistant  Superintendent  of  Building  No. 
35  think  of  him  often  and  extend  to  Mrs.  Bent  and 
himself  their  congratulations. 


On  Tuesday,  November  2nd,  a  daughter  was  born 
to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  T.  Dawson.  Mr.  Dawson  is  an 
employee  of  the  Emulsion  Coating  Department. 


The  employees  of  the  Emulsion  Coating  Depart- 
ment unite  in  expressing  their  sympathy  to  their 
fellow  employee,  Matthew  Scanlon,  in  the  event  of 
his  recent  bereavement,  the  death  of  this  mother. 


Send  in  the  children's  photo  and  see  if  we  can 
have  a  page  of  future  Kodak  Workers.  ^lark  on 
back  of  each  photo  the  child's  name  and  age  and 
all  photos  will  be  returned. 


Elbow  grease  is  warranted  not  to  soil  the  hands. 

Gertrude  Wilson,  who  has  been  Mr.  Hastings's 
stenographer  for  about  two  years,  left  Friday,  Octo- 
ber 21st,  to  be  married  to  William  Hogan. 

The  girls  of  the  E.  &  M.  Department  gave  Ger- 
trude a  variety  shower  and  she  has  the  best  wishes 
of  her  many  friends  in  the  Engineering  Department. 


Congratulations  to  Harold  Kykendall  of  the  Roll 
Coating  Department  on  the  occasion  of  his  marriage 
October  30th  to  Hazel  Sanderson  of  Building  No. 
42.  A  short  honeymoon  was  enjoyed  and  the  happy 
couple  will  soon  he  in  their  new  home.  The  boys 
of  the  department  wish  you  and  Hazel  a  long  life  of 
happiness. 


Guy  Vinton  of  the  Chemical  Plant  has  been  out 
of  town  on  business  and  was  unable  to  get  back  in 
time  for  election.  "Bob"  Cook,  in  writing  to  him, 
offered  his  sympathy  in  the  loss  of  his  vote,  which 
would  according  to  the  dope  have  gone  to  Cox. 
Guy  in  answering  said  that  he  didn't  feel  so  badly 
about  it,  as  he  expected  to  be  able  to  get  Mr.  Seel 
and  George  Tozier  away  before  election  day,  and 
that  this  would  offset  matters. 


A  group  of  men  in  one  of  the  departments  at  the 
plant  was  absorbing  the  contents  of  a  bulletin 
board  on  which  was  posted  a  report  showing  that 
the  percentage  of  tardiness  during  the  past  month 
had  been  50  per  cent.  One  of  the  men,  being  touched 
by  the  nature  of  this  report,  turned  to  his  com- 
panions and  said:  "Fellows,  can't  we  put  this  de- 
partment on  top?     Let's  make  it  100  per  cent!" 


A  deal  of  considerable  importance  from  an  inter- 
national standpoint  was  consummated  the  other 
day  when  Jack  Donahue  transferred  his  1918 
straw  hat  to  "Doc"  Keegan,  who  is  having  it  re- 
modeled for  next  season.  Beats  all  how  the  Irish 
stick  together.  

Did  you  notice  the  election  returns  from  the  State 
of  Tennessee.''  If  you  didn't,  it  might  interest  you 
to  know  that  the  State  went  Republican,  against  all 
prediction,  based  on  past  results.  Perhaps  "Perly" 
Wilcox  has  had  a  good  effect  on  this  community 
already.  

We  regret  to  announce  the  death  of  Mrs.  Leta  J. 
Downes,  wife  of  Wm.  Downes  of  the  Roll  Coating 
Department.  Mrs.  Do^\Ties  was  on  an  extended 
\'isit  to  her  girlhood  home  in  Ireland  and  the  sad 
news  came  unexpectedly.  Our  sympathy  is  ex- 
tended to  the  familv  in  their  bereavement. 


A  wedding  of  unusual  interest  took  place  at  the 
Holy  Cross  Church,  Charlotte,  on  Tuesday  morning, 
November  9th,  when  Frances  M.  McFarlin  became 
the  bride  of  Edward  T.  Christy  of  Building  No.  33, 
both  having  been  many  years  with  the  company. 
On  Wednesday  evening,  November  3rd,  a  shower 
was  given  at  the  home  of  the  bride,  at  which  time 
she  received  a  chest  of  flat  silver,  several  pieces  of 
cut  glass  and  many  other  useful  gifts.     Best  wishes! 


KODAK    PARK    BREEDERS    PLAN     FLRST 
CLASS  EXHIBIT 

At  the  time  this  issue  went  to  press,  the  finishing 
touches  were  being  added  to  the  plans  for  the 
Annual  Exhibit  of  the  Kodak  Park  Fur  and  Feather 
Clulj,  held  from  November  30th  to  December  3rd. 

Interest  this  year  was  very  keen,  and  the  number 
of  entries  greatly  exceeded  that  of  last  year.  This  of 
course  was  to  be  expected,  as  the  club  was  only  just 
organized  shortly  before  the  last  show,  and  the 
membership  body  was  small. 

As  the  result  of  a  membership  campaign  which 
was  held  during  the  past  few  months,  many  new 
members  were  secured  and  at  present  a  good  sub- 
stantial organization  exists.  The  prize  of  100 
pounds  of  feed  for  the  member  who  secured  the 
greatest  number  of  new  applications  was  won  by 
President  Frank  X.  Hauser. 

President  Hauser  is  ser\'ing  his  second  term  and 
it  is  largely  due  to  his  efforts  and  interest  that  such 
good  results  have  been  obtained.  The  K.  P.  A.  A . 
has  offered  two  cups  for  the  winners  at  the  show 
and  also  several  cash  premiums  will  be  awarded. 

We  are  pleased  to  announce  that  through  the 
efforts  of  some  of  the  members,  a  special  price  has 
been  obtained  on  feed  from  one  of  the  mills.  Per- 
sons desiring  to  take  advantage  of  this  are  requested 
to  get  in  touch  with  Secretary  Charles  Smith, 
Building  No.  33. 

If  there  are  any  employees  who  are  interested 
in  this  activity  and  desire  to  become  affiliated  with 
the  Club  they  may  send  their  names  to  Secretary 
Smith,  who  will  see  that  they  are  admitted  at  once.

John  Thompson  of  the  Engraving  Depart-

mirror  and  hand.  By  a  touch  on  a  small  lever,  the 
hand  projects  from  behind  the  mirror  and  the  horn 
sounds,  leaving  both  hands  free  to  control  the  car; 
the  whole  apparatus  is  attached  to  the  windshield 
and  in  plain  view.  An  automatic  switch  throws

THE  ONLY  SINGLE   OR    UNTAMED  MALE 
MEMBER  IN  THE  DEPARTMENT 

On  October  SSth,  the  members  of  the  Patent 
Department  presented  their  genial  boss  with  a 
cake  (contents  guaranteed  not  to  produce  a  sleep- 
less night)  properly  trimmed  as  a  remembrance  of 
his  ?th  birthday  (count  'emj,  and  wished  him  the 
usual  amount  of  good  luck. 


A  letter  has  been  received  from  Mr.  Hudlass, 
who  is  now  in  Florida,  in  which  he  states  that  he 
wishes  to  be  remembered  to  all  his  Main  Office 
friends.  He  also  states  that  he  has  just  bought  a 
Ford,  but  hasn't  broken  any  speed  laws  yet  because 
he  cannot  make  it  go  fast  enough  to  warm  up  the 
carburetor . 


FROM  THE  SHIPPING  DEPARTMENT 

The  Bowling  League  is  causing  excitement  in  the 
Export  Shipping  Department.  The  competition 
among  the  members  trying  for  the  team  is  very 
keen.  There  are  already  two  fives  organized  and 
the  seconds  have  challenged  the  firsts  with  a  good- 
sized  purse  for  the  winner. 


HALLOWE'EN  PARTY  FOR  STOCK 
DEPARTMENT 

The  girls  of  the  Stock  Department  Office  were 
"tickled-to-death"  when  they  were  invited  to  a 
Hallowe'en  party  at  Crick  Barker's,  for  they  all 
knew  what  was  in  store  for  them. 

Should  a  stranger  have  entered  the  spooky, 
dimly-lighted  room,  immediately  after  the  arrival 
of  the  girls,  they  would  have  seen  among  the  masked 
marvels,  two  lost  and  lonely  boys,  one  representing 
a  drunken  sailor  who,  with  cornsilk  for  his  goatee, 
and  corncob  pipe,  took  his  part  to  perfection. 
Who  wouldn't  make  a  good  sailor  if  they  had  a  sailor 
beau  like  Don.''  The  other  boy,  a  regular  goodie- 
goodie,  was  immediately  vamped  by  the  Hula  Hula 

dancer (?).     Katherine  Stopeck  represented 

a  regular  old  maid,  with  her  high  necked  waist  and 
long  skirt,  and  hat  decorated  with  feathers  of  every 
kind  and  description,  arranged  in  every  direction. 
(Can  you  imagine  Katherine  dressed  in  this  manner.'') 
As  for  originality,  Helen  Buggie  dressed  as  Sis- 
Hopkins  took  the  prize.  Sunbonnet  Nell  and  a 
simple  little  girl  also  took  part  in  the  fun. 

The  party  was  one  continuous  performance  of 
games,  noise,  singing  and  last,  but  not  least,  eats. 
We  certainly  had  one  grand  and  glorious  time,  and 
much  credit  is  given  to  Crick  for  her  wonderful 
ability  in  decorating  and  the  planning  of  a  regular 
time. 


Dora  Winslow,  who  has  been  out  sick  eight 
months,  is  back  with  us  again.  We  are  glad  to  see 
you  back,  Dora. 

Cleanliness  may  be  next  to  godliness,  but  it's 
bad  business  when  a  good  stenographer  like  Janet 
Hickey  slips  on  a  freshly-mopped  marble  step  and 
breaks  her  wrist.  We  all  admire  her  philosophical 
remark,  that  "it  might  have  been  worse,"  and  we 
are  glad  to  welcome  her  back,  damage  repaired, 
after  two  months'  absence  from  the  fold. 


We  give  a  hearty  welcome  to  Vera  Franklin, 
who  is  taking  Miss  McKelvey's  place  in  the  Order 
Department.  Vera  is  not  a  "New  Comer"  in  the 
E.  K.  C,  having  spent  five  years  in  the  Advertising 
Department  and  is  fast  adapting  herself  to  her  new 
work.     We  wish  her  success. 


On  Thanksgiving  morning  at  9  o'clock,  Marie 
Vogt,  of  Mr.  Mohlar's  office,  was  married  to  Mr. 
George  Michels.      Best  wishes  go  with  you,  Marie 


Several  of  Marie  Vogt's  friends  attended  a 
Hallov/e'en  shower,  given  by  her  sister,  Helen 
Vogt,  on  October  29.  Although  we  are  sorry  to 
see  her  go,  we  wish  her  all  kinds  of  good  luck. 


Have  you  joined  the  K.  O.  R.  C?  If  not,  why 
not?  Has  your  membership  expired.^  If  it  has, 
don't  fail  to  renew  it. 


Five  officials  of  the  Famous  Players-Lasky  Cor-

NEW  PLANT  SAFETY  COMMITTEE  ON  THE  JOB 


The  Plant  Safety  Committee  of  the  Hawk-Eye 
Works  was  disbanded  November  1st,  after  six 
months  excellent  service,  and  a  new  committee 
appointed.  The  retiring  committee  was  the  first 
upon  which  the  foremen  appointed  their  owti 
representatives. 

Judging  from  results  attained,  appointment  by 
the  foremen  is  the  best  method  of  securing  oiu- 
Safety  Boosters.  To  have  the  foreman  working 
with  and  backing  his  Safety  Committeeman  is 
half  the  battle — and  that  condition  seems  to  have 
resulted. 

The  work  of  the  Safety  representative  is  one  of 
constant  vigilance  and  watchfulness  to  pick  out 
the  hazards  before  the  damage  is  done.  Naturally, 
there  is  more  to  the  task  than  merely  picking  out 
the  danger,  for  after  reporting  to  the  Safety  Com- 
mittee it  must  be  followed  up  and  persistently 
argued  until  adopted. 

George  Aulenbacher,  foreman  of  the  Assembling 
Department,  was  made  Chairman  of  the  Plant 
Safety  Committee  some  two  years  ago  while  em- 
ployed as  toolmaker.  His  work  in  this  regard,  was 
marked  from  the  start,  so  that  he  has  been  reap- 
pointed for  term  after  term.  Mr.  Aulenbacher, 
not  only  has  the  faculty  of  keeping  his  own  interest 
in  safety  at  the  boiling  point,  but  also,  he  is  able 
to  stir  up  those  who  lag  behind. 

The  Plant  Safety  Committee,  recently  appointed, 
is  coimted  on  to  continue  the  good  work  of  its 
predecessor.  In  spite  of  our  excellent  record  in 
accident  prevention,  there  is  plenty  of  work  ahead 
for  the  new  committee.     Running  in  the  factory 


must  be  stopped  al)solutely.  Fire  drills  must  be 
made  more  orderly  by  eliminating  talking,  laughing 
and  skylarking.  Guards  must  be  kept  in  repair 
and  in  use.  Aisles  must  be  kept  clear,  and  ever}' 
employee  reminded  constantly  of  his  obligation  to 
keep  the. other  fellow  from  getting  hurt. 

The  Safety  Committee  appointed  to  serve  for 
six  months  is  made  up  as  follows:  George  Aulen- 
bacher, Assembling  Department,  Chairman;  George 
Breslin,  Drafting  Department;  Adolph  Nolte,  M. 
and  C.  Department;  Peter  Lelek  and  Fred  Yaekel 
of  the  Moulding  Department;  Wm.  Savage,  Assemb- 
ling Department;  Oliver  Nicol,  Aclu-omat  Lens 
Department;  Otto  Westphal,  Blocking  Department; 
Wm.  Klos,  Tool  Department;  Raymond  Wall, 
Office;  Ralph  Burhams,  Brass  Department;  Ralph 
Goodberlet,  Stock  Department;  Edward  McGary, 
Buff  and  Plate  Department;  Walter  Maurer,  Wood 
Department;  Joseph  Frank,  Wood  Department; 
Louise  Opperman,  Shipping  Department;  Frank 
Del  Monaco,  Anastigmat  Lens  Department;  Berton 
Tompkins,  Anastigmat  Lens  Department;  Arthur 
Rapp,  Mounting  Department;  Florence  Kamb, 
Centering  Department ;  Lena  McRae,  Cleaning  and 
Inspecting  Department;  Frances  Mosher,  Cement- 
ing Department. 


Iva  May  Park,  of  the  Cementing  Department, 
was  married  on  October  4th  to  Mr.  Harold  Baxter. 
The  best  wishes  of  her  own  Department  and  all  the 
rest  of  Hawk-Eye  go  to  her.  A  number  of  her  girl 
friends  gave  her  a  shower  previous  to  the  wedding, 
at  which  she  received  manv  beautiful  gifts.

HAWK-EYE  GIRLS'  BASKETBALL 

A  squad  of  twenty  girls  is  practicing  twice  a 
week  in  competition  for  places  on  the  Hawk-Eye 
Girls'  basketball  team.  Enthusiasm  is  rimning 
high,  as  a  most  successful  season  is  predicted  by 
the  management.  The  girls  are  indeed  fortunate 
in  obtaining  the  services  of  Allan  Petersen  as  head 
coach.  "Pete."  who  was  one  of  the  stellar  lights 
on  the  Hobart  College  five  last  year,  is  rather 
optimistic  over  the  ability  shown  by  his  charges  at 
their  first  few  practice  meetings.  "Chuck"  Prentice, 
Hawk-Eye's  all-roimil  athlete,  will  assist  in  teaching 
the  girls  the  fine  points  of  the  game.  The  coaches 
contemplate  picking  ten  girls  to  make  up  the  team. 
Prominent  among  the  girl  athletes,  who  are  working 
hard  for  the  team's  success,  are  .Mice  Gears,  Grace 
Wiemer,  Elizabeth  Meerdink,  Ethel  Reinhardt,  and 
Jane  De  Graff,  of  this  year's  Hawk-Eye  Girls'  Base- 
ball Team,  Loretta  Ercth.  Virginia  Earl.  Hattie 
Batzing  and  Olive  Kcllett.  The  wearers  of  the 
purple  and  white  will  play  out  of-town  teams  as 
well  as  all  local  teams. 


XOOX  HOUR  PLXOCHLE  TOL  RNAMEXT 

Some  eighty  Hawk-Eye  employees  have  signified 
their  intention  of  participating  in  the  good  old  game 
of  pinochle.  The  scliedule  calls  for  a  series  of  games 
to  be  played  during  the  noon  hour,  and  covering  a 
period  of  about  two  months.  Keen  competition 
is  expected  before  the  winning  six  men  carry  off  the 
prizes  ott'ered.  Russell  Craib  has  been  appointed 
as  chairman,  and  Dennis  Dwyer  as  secretary  of  a 
committee  wliicli  will  draw  up  the  rules  of  the

spring  which  will  be  worthy  of  the  support  of  all 
Hawk-Eye.  The  team  is  now  practicing  in  prepara- 
tion for  the  indoor  soccer  season,  which  is  soon  to 
get  under  way.  The  teams  which  have  been 
entered  in  this  League  are  Kodak  Park,  Camera 
Works.  ^Lain  Office,  and  Hawk-Eye.  At  the 
present  time  a  noon  hour  league  is  being  formed, 
which  should  help  Manager  Ansel  to  find  any 
hidden  talent  around  the  plant. 


Alice  Gears  is  a  newcomer  in  the  Main  OflBce,  to 
which  she  was  transferred  from  the  Production 
Department.  Miss  Gears  has  nearly  two  years 
service  to  her  credit,  and  is  prominent  in  Hawk- 
Eye  athletics.  

When  John  Eiseman.  foreman  of  the  Moulding 
Department,  needed  a  man  to  take  charge  of  the 
night  siiift.  he  looked  around  just  once,  then  pro- 
moted Ernest  Ri>l)l)ins.  Ernest  hails  from  Ontario. 
X'.Y.  He  is  iiigldy  deserving  of  this  new  honor,  and 
has  the  best  wishes  of  the  whole  department.

HAWK-EYE  BOWLING 

Of  course  Hawk-Eye  wishes  to  be  a  champ  in 
every  hne  of  sport.  Records  show  that  it  has  been 
a  long  time  since  we  have  had  a  first-class  bowling 
team.  Captain  George  Kosel,  our  old  standby,  is 
still  toppling  the  pins  with  a  general  average  of  187. 
The  other  boys  are  trying  hard  to  steer  clear  of  the 
splits,  but  somehow  or  other  they  get  them  marked 
on  the  score  sheets.  To  be  a  success  the  bowling 
team  must  have  the  whole-hearted  support  of  all 
Hawk-Eye  employees.  If  you  can  bowl  why  not 
make  yourself  known  to  Manager  "Speedy"  Witz, 
or  Captain  Kosel,  and  arrange  to  get  into  the  line- 
up. Those  who  cannot  bowl,  can  do  their  share 
by  dropping  in  at  the  Genesee  Recreation  Hall  on 
South  Avenue  any  Saturday  afternoon  at  3:30. 
Lend  your  encouragement  to  the  players  by 
cheering  them  on.     Let's  keep  out  of  the  cellar. 


Lucy  Tate  and  Dorothy  Kucht  have  returned 
from  their  trip  to  Holland,  where  they  spent  most 
of  the  past  summer.  Both  girls  report  a  rare  good 
time  and  were  not  seasick  once.     No,  not  once!

Harry  Sanger,  of  the  Moulding  Department, 
wandered  away  for  a  short  time,  but  finally  came 
trooping  back  to  Hawk-Eye.  We  are  glad  to  wel- 
come him  back,  because  the  large  representation  of 
Sangers  we  already  have  just  seem  to  fit. 

Allan  Peterson  who  did  a  lot  toward  bringing 
two  pennants  to  Hawk-Eye  last  summer,  has  given 
up  his  office  work  to  go  into  the  Centering 
Department.  

We  extend  our  hearty  congratulations  to  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Harold  McKee,  of  the  Anastigmat  Lens  De- 
partment, on  the  arrival  of  an  eight-pound  baby 
girl  on  October  20th. 

Rumor  has  it  that  Edith  Campbell,  of  the  In- 
specting and  Cleaning  Department,  will  be  a  bride 
on  December  27th.  The  good  wishes  of  a  large 
number  of  Hawk-Eytes  go  with  her. 


The  Leather  Department  wishes  Laura  Knoeferl 
a  speedy  recovery.       

Mrs.    Bella    Nolin    has    returned    to    the    Pitch

PREMO  CLUB  NOTES 

It  would  require  the  grand  and  glorious  terms  of 
the  circus  bill  to  describe  adequately  the  array  of 
talent  displayed  at  the  first  Premo  Club  advance 
meeting  held  in  the  Premo  Club  Room.  With  the 
hall  packed,  the  meeting  was  opened  by  President 
John  H.  McKenny,  who  made  a  few  remarks,  and 
asked  for  the  co-operation  of  all  in  securing  new 
members  for  the  club.  Jack  Dempsey,  the  Irish 
comedian,  in  his  act  of  jokes,  songs  and  dancing, 
was  good  for  a  young  chap.  Margaret  McDonald, 
as  a  rival  of  Ada  Jones,  is  getting  a  good  start 
toward  the  professional  vaudeville  stage.  "Sam" 
Kelman,  in  his  fimny  make-up,  is  some  entertainer, 
and  kept  the  audience  in  a  roar  all  the  time.  Pearl 
Clark,  the  saxophone  girl,  with  the  assistance  of 
the  Premo  Club  Orchestra,  played  a  number  of 
popular  selections,  bringing  out  some  good  singing 
from  the  audience.  "Hank"  Adams,  the  juggler, 
sure  did  please  the  children  with  his  funny  antics. 
His  work  was  cleverly  done,  and  brought  forth 
numerous  bursts  of  applause.  The  ])rogram  was 
concluded  by  showing  several  reels  of  moving 
pictures  which  were  taken  at  the  Premo  Club  clam 
bake.  This  splendid  program  was  prepared  by 
R.  K.  Hutchings,  W.  Gerstner,  W.  Van  Sanford, 
J.  Renner,  F.  Seelman  and  the  Misses  A.  Garrett, 
E.  Beal,  and  O.  Fagan. 


AFTERMATH  OF  THE  CLAM  BAKE 

Did  you  notice  how  Emily  Repp  as  catcher 
juggled  the  fouls,  Alice  Green  never  reaching  first 
base,  and  Olive  Fagan  knocking  a  home  run?  And 
then  ask  why  the  girls  lost. 

It  was  some  acrobatic  stimt  that  Charles  Sullivan 
pulled  off  in  the  obstacle  race.  Wonder  if  he  will 
repeat  it  for  us  at  some  of  our  advance  meetings? 

W'hen  we  were  kids,  we  used  to  tie  a  grain  of 
corn  to  a  string,  and  feed  it  to  the  chickens  in  order 
to  catch  them,  but  this,  we  will  admit,  is  the  first 
time  we  have  seen  the  stunt  tried  with  marshmallow 
drops.  It  is  a  good  thing  that  Mr.  Wheeler  came 
to  Emma  Kraftschick's  rescue  or  she  would  have 
swallowed  the  string. 


Girls,  don't  forget  to  wear  your  caps  and  remove 
your  rings  when  working  around  machines.  Safety 
first. 


PREMO  WORKS  FIRE  FIGHTERS 

On  each  floor  level  there  are  three  fire  alarm 
stations,  with  a  sign  reading,  "Pull  hook  down  and 
then  let  go."  This  automatically  sounds  the 
proper  signal  on  electric  horns  in  all  departments, 
at  the  same  time  notifying  all  employees  of  the 
location  of  the  fire.  The  Mill  Brigade  responds  to 
the  first  alarm  and  reaches  any  part  of  the  building 
in  40  seconds.  Frequent  drills  are  held,  which  keep 
the  boys  well  informed  and  in  good  practice,  making 
it  next  to  impossible  for  a  serious  fire  to  get  a  start 
during  working  hours.  A  sprinkling  system  through- 
out the  plant  and  a  Western  Union  Signal  Station 
in  each  department,  on  which  the  night  watch- 
man registers  every  hour  and  can  get  prompt 
assistance,  gives  protection  to  the  building  and 
property  outside  of  working  hours.

CHILDREN  OF  JOHN  McKENNEY 

Production  Manager 

The  boys  of  the  Bowling  Team  are  showing  good 
form  up  to  date,  taking  three  games  from  Folmer- 
Century  at  the  opening  of  the  League;  then 
came  the  Camera  Works  team,  considered  a 
very  strong  team,  but  the  boys  came  through 
in  good  shape,  annexing  the  second  and  third 
games,  after  getting  away  to  a  poor  start  by 
losing  the  first  game.  In  the  second  game  they 
rolled  999,  and  with  better  breaks  the  team  would 
easily  have  bowled  over  the  1000  mark.  The  third 
game  was  a  thriller,  Premo  taking  it  by  a  margin 
of  one  pin.  After  this  showing.  Homer  Ransom, 
the  manager  of  the  team,  thought  the  team  ought 
to  have  a  bit  of  encouragement,  so  he  asked  a  number 
of  the  fans  dowia  to  see  our  team  roll.  The  girls  of 
the  third  floor,  led  by  Emma  Kraftschik,  were  much 
in  evidence  with  their  cheering.  The  boys  are  all 
in  good  shape,  and  are  giving  a  good  account  of 
themselves,  and  hope  to  rest  in  first  place  before 
long.

ALBERT  KNITTER 

Of  course  you've  all  noticed  the  stone-marker, 
1895,  in  the  front  of  the  building,  which  reminds 
you  of  the  year  of  the  erection  of  our  factory.  But 
do  you  know  who  is  directly  responsible  for  that 
marker  being  where  it  is  today?  None  other  than 
Albert  Knitter,  the  only  Premo  employee  who  is 
known  to  have  had  an  active  part  in  the  erection 
of   the  building. 

"Al's"  trade  in  1894  was  that  of  a  stone  mason  in 
the  employ  of  Hiram  H.  Edgerton  (our  present 
Mayor),  who  had  the  contract  for  the  erection  of 
the  Premo  factory  at  that  time.  Mr.  Knitter  was 
the  only  man  willing  to  remain  on  the  job  on  Janu- 
ary 1,  1895,  a  holiday,  in  order  to  place  the  marker. 
He  completed  the  task  imaided  and  as  a  result  of  his 
willingness  to  please  the  contractors  and  the  owner. 
\Yilliam  F.  Carlton,  he  was  hired  by  the  latter  as 
night  watchman  and  is  still  employed  at  Premo — a 
period  of  -25  years  of  service. 

"Al"  is  now  one  of  the  maintenance  men  at 
Premo,  and  occasionally  performs  the  duties  of 
relief  watchman. 

How  many  can  show  such  a  record  of  long,  faith- 
ful ser\'ice  as  Albert  Knitter.' 


THE  MARKER  AND  ITS  ilAKER 


A  Hallowe'en  frolic  was  held  by  the  employees, 
their  wives  and  sweethearts,  of  the  Employment 
and  Service  Department,  at  the  home  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  William  J.  Gerstner,  146  Turpin  Street.  The 
scene  was  decorated  with  flags,  witches,  black  cats, 
pumpkins  and  oak  leaves.  A  buffet  lunch  was 
served  and  an  unusual  lot  of  Hallowe'en  pranks  were 
pulled  off.  The  committee  in  charge  was  Adelbert 
MacNaliy,  Margaret  Kreckman  and  Irene  Wilt.

In  the  spring  of  1919,  when  the  scarcity  of  homes 
became  apparent,  William  J.  Russell,  of  the  Plating 
Department,  bought  a  lot  at  106  Eal  Street,  Gates, 
and  immediately  started  to  grade  and  put  in  a 
foimdation.  With  the  help  of  his  fifteen-year-old 
son,  this  was  accomplished  in  about  two  months, 
in  spare  time  only,  and  by  the  time  the  snow  began 
to  fall,  they  had  built  a  temporary  house,  laying 
plans  and  building  with  the  intention  of  completing 
the  following  year.  As  soon  as  the  weather  per- 
mitted in  the  spring  of  1920,  he  started  to  complete 
the  house,  but  on  account  of  his  savings  running 
low,  after  paying  for  material  and  supplies,  he  de- 
cided to  place  a  bank  mortgage  on  the  house,  to 
enable  him  to  purchase  more  supplies.  Upon 
making  inquiries,  he  found  that  the  banks  do  not 
make  loans  on  property  outside  of  the  city,  except 
on  rare  occasions.  For  this  reason,  he  had  to  stop 
building  until  he  could  obtain  a  private  loan.  This 
was  procured,  and  operations  started  again;  then 
one  trouble  after  another  began  to  "pop"  up.  On 
Saturday  afternoons,  when  he  could  work,  it  would 
rain,  and  with  the  evenings  getting  shorter,  it  looked 
like  a  hopeless  task.  About  this  time,  Mr.  Ruttan 
heard  about  the  difficulties  and  said.  "Russell,  how 
would  you  like  to  have  a  bunch  of  us  fellows  come 
out  there  next  Saturday  afternoon  and  help  you 
complete  your  house?"  Russell  thought  this  would 
be  fine,  so  Mr.  Ruttan  asked  for  volimteers,  and  as  a 
result  every  one  at  the  Premo  wanted  to  have  a 
part  in  helping  to  build,  even  the  girls.  Premo-ers. 
representing  each  department  of  the  Works  were 
right  there  assisting  in  every  way  possible  in  order 
to  make  this  a  record  worth  while,  .\fter  toiling 
for  several  evenings  and  Saturday  afternoon,  they 
concluded  that  they,  as  workers  of  the  Premo,  did 
something  unusual,  and  went  home  happy  in  their 
minds  that  they  could  lighten  the  burdens  of  a 
fellow- worker.  The  result  of  their  help  is  that  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Russell  and  family  have  a  cozy,  neat  and 
attractive  seven-room  house  which  they  now 
occupy.  Surely  the  Premo  can  feel  justly  proud 
that  they  have  such  a  complete  line-up  in  their 
Works,  as  there  is  seemingly  nothing  which  they 
call  impossible,  and  whether  the  boys  work  overtime 
nights  or  day  time  as  they  did  in  this  case,  they  are 
men  worth  while. 

I  want  to  take  this  opportimity  to  express  my 
appreciation  of  the  wonderful  treatment  I  received 
from  both  the  Sick  Relief  Association  and  the  Medi- 
cal Department  during  my  long  illness,  to  Bertha 
Mischler,  our  Visiting  Nurse,  and  to  the  employees 
of  the  third  floor  for  the  beautiful  flowers  sent  me. 
I  am  especially  grateful  to  all  for  the  extreme 
courtesy  they  have  shoxsTi  me.

Much  credit  must  be  given  to  all  employees  of 
the  Premo  on  their  splendid  co-operation  during 
"No  Accident  Week."  Not  one  accident  in  the 
plant  during  this  campaign  speaks  well  for  us,  and 
we  are  proud  of  the  results.  Now  let  us  keep  the 
good  record  throughout  the  vear.  It  can  be  done. 
Will  you  help? 


The  sincere  sympathy  of  all  the  Premo  Workers 
is  extended  to  William  Young,  foreman  of  the 
Cabinet  Department,  and  his  family  in  the  loss  of 
his  daughter  Emma  Estella,  who  passed  away 
Monday,  November  1,  at  the  family  residence, 
3371  Lake  Avenue. 


The  employees  of  the  Premo  extend  their  sincere 
sympathy  to  Florence  Glasgow,  of  the  Assembly 
Department,  on  the  death  of  her  mother. 


We  wish  to  extend  our  sincere  sympathy  to 
Charles  Werder.  of  the  Tool  Department,  whose 
father  passed  away  recently. 


On  Friday,  November  5th,  the  Premo  Club  room 
was  crowded  to  the  door,  this  being  the  second 
Advance  Meeting  of  the  season.  It  seemed  to  be 
the  finest  representative  body  of  Premo-ites  and  their 
families  and  friends;  mothers  came  with  their  babies; 
fathers  and  grandfathers  turned  out  to  see  a  splen- 
did vaude\nlle  show.  The  audience  insisted  on 
a  number  of  encores,  for  some  of  the  acts  brought 
down  the  house.  From  first  to  last  the  programe 
was  punctuated  with  applause,  the  audience  at 
frequent  intervals  manifesting  its  hearty  approval 
of  the  performance.  Opening  the  program  with  a 
selection  by  the  Premo  Club  Orchestra,  entitled 
"Let  Us  Chase  the  Squirrels,"  directed  by  Ralph 
Hutchings : 

Act  1 — Ruth  Parker,  a  belle  of  the  Assembly 
Department.  Ruth  is  a  sweet  singer,  and  we  will 
expect  a  return  engagement. 

Act  2 — Fred  Wagner.  Some  day  Fred  will  be  a 
real  entertainer. 

Act  3 — Schultz  Sisters  in  a  highly  appreciated 
piano  and  •violin  selection. 

Act  4 — William  Doyle,  Irish  songs  and  jokes, 
was  a  constant  delight. 

Act  5 — Miss  P'ishbaugh — the  warmth  of  her  voice 
just  brought  forth  a  burst  of  applause. 

Act  6 — Green-Cahill,  of  the  Box  Camera  Depart- 
ment, must  not  be  looked  upon  from  the  standpoint 
of  their  title;  a  command  of  varying  styles,  a  poetic 
imagination,  an  inborn  artistic  sense,  a  superb 
vocal  equipment,  are  a  few  of  their  qualifications 
from  the  "Plant  Editor's"  \'iewpoint.  Their  readings 
of  the  parodies  from  the  latest  issue  of  the  Kodak- 
Magazine,  as  the  employees  would  like  to  have  it 
printed,  not  as  it  is  edited,  was  cleverly  made  up, 
and  these  "actresses"  are  to  be  commended  on  their 
cleverness  along  these  lines. 

Act  7 — Brown  Harmony-4,  boys  from  the  As- 
sembly and  Cabinet  Departments.  Their  work 
showed  fine  intelligence  and  is  beyond  praise. 

Act  8 — ^Wagner  &  Company,  playlet,  entitled 
"A  Happy  Home,"  true  to  life  in  several  respects, 
was  cleverly  acted. 

These  shows  are  given  to  all  Club  members  and 
their  friends.  Why  not  join  now,  dues  $1.50  per 
year? 


As  a  token  of  their  ajipreciation  to  the  company 
in  looking  out  for  their  welfare  and  safety,  a  num- 
ber of  the  girls  sent  a  Round  Robin,  which  was

Elizabeth  Cahill,  who  from  the  looks  of  things  now, 
will  give  a  good  account  of  themselves.  Every 
worker  should  give  their  loyal  support  to  this  team,

LORAIN  SCHULER 

Daughter  of  William  Schuler,  Foreman  Metal  Department 

George  Wilson,  seventeen  years  old.  of  the  As- 
sembly Department,  is  to  be  congratulated  for  his 
nerve  in  defending  the  Premo  alone  in  the  golf 
tournament  held  recently  at  the  Genesee  Valley 
coiu-se.  George  gave  a  good  account  of  himself, 
and  we  are  proud  of  him. 


The  Brown  Quartet,  consisting  of  Percy  Brown, 
Charles  Ware,  Ray  Blackwell  and  Cyril  Eve,  em- 
ployees of  the  Premo,  surprised  us  when  we  saw 
them  appear  on  the  vaudeville  stage  at  the  Family 
Theatre  recently.  At  the  rate  these  boys  are 
going,  they  will  soon  be  in  a  class  with  the  Lyric 
Quartet  and  then  we  can  expect  some  good  singing 
at  oiu-  advance  meetings. 


■\Ve  have  with  us  in  the  Cost  and  Pay  Roll 
Department  Elmore  Ingleby,  who  has  been  trans- 
ferred from  the  Hawk-Eye  Works.  Elmore,  you 
are  welcome,  so  make  vourself  at  home. 


Estelle  Blanche  Steve,  a  former  employee  of  the 
Premo,  who  was  married  recently  to  Lloyd  V.  Wood 
of  East  Rochester,  called  on  us  a  few  days  ago,  and 
wants  to  thank  all  who  were  responsible  for  the  beau- 
tiful presents  they  received,  and  will  welcome  us 
any  time  at  their  home,  228  East  Avenue  West, 
East  Rochester. 


We  are  glad  to  have  with  us  again  Reata  Da^•is 
Reulbach,  Lauretta  O'Xeil  and  Caroline  Latal, 
who  have  been  confined  to  their  homes  for  several 
weeks  on  account  of  illness.  They  all  wish  to  thank 
the  Medical  Department  for  the  kind  attention  they 
received  during  their  illness. 


Philip  Voelckel,  Jr.,  has  been  appointed  chairman 
of  the  Progressive  Pedro  parties  and  dances,  and 
John  Roach  as  assistant.  This  action  became 
necessary  on  account  of  L.  C.  Wheeler  tendering  his 
resignation,  so  as  to  be  able  to  attend  the  Safety 
Coimcil  meetings  which  fall  on  the  same  evening. 


We  had  a  great  time  last  night,  was  the  way  they 
all  expressed  themselves  the  morning  after  the  night 
before,  the  event  being  the  second  Progressive 
Pedro  party  and  dance  of  the  season  held  in  the 
Premo  Club  Room.  After  eight  games  of  cards 
were  played,  prizes  were  awarded,  and  refreshments 
served.  The  floor  was  cleared,  and  dancing  was 
enjoyed  until  a  late  hour,  music  being  furnished  by 
Mildred  Stritzel  at  the  piano,  Harry  Gomm, 
violinist  and  George  Texter  at  the  drums.  Philip 
Voelckel,  Jr.,  John  Roach,  Margaret  Schwart  and 
Ethel  Green  constituted  the  committee  in  charge. 

The  Focusing  Department  just  "ate  'em  up"  at 
their  Sausage  and  Corn  Roast,  which  was  held 
at  the  home  of  George  Franklin,  261  Sanford  Street. 
The  programme  in  charge  of  Jane  Feinberg,  in- 
cluded a  song  by  Florence  Frosdick,  entitled 
"Nobody  Loves  Me,"  and  other  songs  by  Harold 
Fleischer.  Leona  Xeuwirth  and  Gwendoline 
Brownell  were  marshalls  of  the  eats,  while  Loretta 
Seeler,  Eleanor  P'razer  and  Mrs.  Franklin  acted 
as  the  Committee  in  charge. 


A  niunber  of  the  Box  Camera  employees  held  an 
outing  recently  at  the  home  of  a  former  employee 
of  this  department — Hanna  Fisher-Harter  of  Pitts- 
ford.  Although  there  were  thunder  showers  early 
in  the  day,  Ijy  four  o'clock  the  skies  cleared  and 
the  sun  began  to  shine.  Mildred  Stritzel  added  to 
the  pleasure  of  the  day  by  her  piano  selections. 
Lena  Latta  and  little  Kate  Titus  helped  to  make 
the  programme  complete  by  their  antics  and  "Joe" 
Epstein  gave  a  good  account  of  himself  at  all  times 
with  the  eats.  The  committee  in  charge  was 
Elizabeth  Franklin  and  John  Renner. 


Motor  cars  were  humming  down  Titus  Avenue, 
boimd  for  a  jolly  Halloween  party  given  by  Fanny 
Xorthrup.  Games  were  enjoyed,  a  vocal  selection 
was  given  by  "Joe"  Epstein  and  Jolin  Renner  led  a 
quartette  which  would  make  "Al"  Field  green  with 
en\'y.  The  swan  dance  given  by  Anna  Johnson 
and  Lena  Latta  showed  us  the  latest  steps  in  ball 
room  classics.  Every  one  had  a  good  time,  and  the 
motors  returned  at  a  wee  small  horn-. 


Due  to  the  ill-health  of  his  wife,  Albert  Wilcox, 
of  the  Cost  and  Pay  Roll  Department,  foimd  it 
necessary  to  sell  out  all  his  household  goods  and 
move  his  family  to  San  Diego,  California.  Mr. 
Wilcox  intends  to  leave  at  a  later  date. 

Prize  winners  of  the  October  Progressive  Pedro 
parties  held  in  the  Premo  Club  Room  were  as 
follows:  Ladies,  first,  Mrs.  Wm.  Halpin;  second, 
Mrs.  H.  Ruckdeschel;  consolation,  Florence  Smith. 
Gentlemen,  first,  LawTence  Bachman;  second,  Wil- 
liam Farrell;  consolation,  Frank  Heier. 


Linda  Schwing's  name  was  not  included  in  list  of 
reporters  published  last  month.  Linda  is  reporter 
for  the  second  floor  offices,  so  send  her  items  for  the 
Kodak  Magazine.  

"Jack"  Young  and  Erhart  Hafner  of  the  Cabinet 
Department,  have  been  doing  quite  a  bit  of  talking 
lately  about  chickens.  It  looks  as  though  they 
were  going  into  the  chicken  business.  How  about 
it,  boys.^

FOLMER-CENTURY  ^YORKS 

The  Folmer-Century  Men's  Bowling  League 
started  their  season  on  Wednesday  evening,  October 
20,  1920,  at  the  Grand  Central  Alleys.  A  large 
turnout  of  bowlers  and  rooters  was  on  hand.  Short 
speeches  were  given  by  Wm.  F.  Folmer,  Manager 
of  the  plant,  and  George  T.  Roche,  Works  Account- 
ant. ^Ir.  Folmer  put  the  first  ball  down  the  alley 
for  a  strike,  and  from  then  the  race  was  cm  for  the 
pennant.  The  boys  seem  to  be  in  gootl  form  and 
are  showing  a  lot  of  interest.  The  names  the  teams 
will  roll  under,  and  the  captains  of  the  teams  are

year.  The  members  of  the  committee  are:  C.  H. 
Harper,  Chairman;  Albert  Fleming,  Edward  Stock- 
meister, Frank  O.  Perrin,  Edward  Burkhardt,  Augus-

KODAK  OFFICE  BOWLING  LEAGUE 


ONE  of  the  features  of  the  Kodak 
Office  Recreation  Chib  that  is 
arousing  considerable  interest  and  afford- 
ing some  ninety  penpushers  more  than  a 
little  exercise,  is  the  twelve-team  bowling 
league,  now  well  under  way. 

The  league,  due  to  a  two-weeks  late 
start,  will  roll  22  games  instead  of  the 
usual  string  number  of  24,  but  all  are 
convinced  that  22  games  will  show  up  the 
real  winner  just  as  well  as  the  extra  two. 
The  rooters  are  enjoying  the  games  even 
more  so  than  the  bowlers  themselves,  for 
they  sit  on  the  sidelines  and  witness  their 
favorites  roll  any  score  between  74  and 
250.  "Charlie"  Howard  of  the  Stock 
Department  team  and  Carl  Mattern  of 
the  Engraving  Department  team  hold 
the  respected  and  respective  honors,  and 
Charlie  even  goes  so  far  as  to  say  that 


he  will  hit  the  hundred  mark  before  the 
season  is  over.      "Just  watch  me." 

The  league  has  rented  alleys  at  the  Elm 
for  Saturday  afternoons,  the  Eagle  alleys 
on  North  Washington  Street  for  Tuesday 
nights,  and  Liederkranz  alleys  on  West 
Main  Street  for  use  on  Friday  nights.

BASKETBALL 


The  basketball  outlook  for  the  season 
1920-21  is  the  brightest  ever.  Kodak 
Park  is  in  the  field  again  this  year  with  an 
exceptionally  strong  quint  and  there  is 
little  doubt  but  what  they  will  uphold 
the  fine  reputation  of  superb  basketball 
playing  that  their  predecessors  have  built 
up.  Manager  Goodridge  is  booking  games 
with  all  the  big  fives  of  the  city  who 
might  be  classed  as  contenders  for  the 
city  championship  title,  and  has  much 
confidence  in  the  fine  aggregation  of  stars 
that  is  to  represent  Kodak  Park  on  the 
floor." 

The  Kodak  Ofiice  has  also  put  a  team 
in  the  field  for  the  first  time  in  history.  A 
number  of  college  men  have  entered  the 
employ  of  the  company  since  the  close  of 
last   season,   and  not  one   of  them   has 


HA\\^-EYE  vs.  KODAK  OFFICE 
DECEMBER  7th 

On  December  7th,  Hawk-Eye  and 
Kodak  OSice  Girls'  and  Men's  Basket- 
ball Teams  will  meet  at  Stratford  Roller 
Rink. 

Preliminary  game  will  start  at  7:30. 
Dancing  after  game — Damon's  Orches- 
tra. 


If  you  turn  to  the  third  cover  of  the 
Magazine  you  will  note  the  standings  of 
the  different  aggregations  of  teams  which 
enable  some  four  hundred  lovers  of  the 
pin  game  to  show  other  organizations  in 
Rochester  that  Kodak  has  some  first 
class  talent  in  the  wav  of  bowlers. 


At  the  close  of  the  bowling  season,  why 
not  have  a  championship  tournament  of 
the  winners  in  each  of  the  six  leagues, 
to  decide  which  plant  has  the  best  league? 
Then,  perhaps,  a  little  match  might  be 
arranged  with  the  winning  team  of  the 
Camera  Bowling  League.    How  about  it? 


showed  lack  of  interest  in  the  building  up 
of  a  real  team  to  represent  the  Kodak 
Office.  Fred  Fogarty  is  to  manage  the 
team  and  John  Boeing,  University  of 
Wisconsin  basketball  man,  has  been 
engaged  as  coach.  The  Stratford  Rink 
has  been  secured  for  a  court  on  account 
of  its  fine  floor,  the  easy  access  to  Main 
Street,  and  also  because  of  its  size,  for 
it  can  accommodate  a  very  large  crowd. 
The  men  constituting  the  squad  are: 
McNeill,  Morrow,  Hardy,  Culbertson, 
Diehl,  Marcello,  Sausage  and  Hutchins. 
Kodak  now  stands  a  better  chance  of 
copping  some  kind  of  a  title  or  pennant 
where  it  had  but  one  before.  Now,  we're 
all  eagerly  awaiting  a  get-together  of  the 
two  teams  to  decide  which  team  deserves 
the  honors  in  the  organization.  How 
about  it,  Goodridge  and  Fogarty? 


HOCKEY 

Winter,  shouldn't  necessarily,  drive 
sports  to  cover.  There  are  any  number 
of  keen  outdoor  winter  sports,  snowshoe- 
ing,  skiing,  skating,  etc.  We  perform  a 
lot  on  the  basketball  court,  more  on  the 
smooth  dance  hall  floor,  and  a  great  num- 
ber of  us  stroll  into  a  bowling  alley  and 
fight  with  the  pins.  But  say — why  can't 
some  of  you  men,  lovers  of  the  game  of 
hockey,  get  the  boys  on  skates  on  the 
slippery  ice,  with  a  view  to  forming  a 
snappy  hockey  league. 

The  undertaking  requires  nothing  but 
a  little  shove  and  a  good  push  and  the 
league  is  oft'.  Hawk-Eye  had  an  excel- 
lent track  team  last  summer,  and  what's 
wrong  with  the  idea  of  putting  these  men  on 
the  steel  runners,  giving  them  good  hickory 
clubs  and  letting  them  go  after  the  puck? 
Kodak  Park,  Camera  Works  and  the 
Main  Office  will  gather  together  their  best 
men,  to  say  nothing  of  the  material  that 
lays  dormant  in  Folmer-Century  and 
Prenio. 

Come  on,  fellows,  its  drawing  near  to 
"hockey  weather."

THE   KODAK   IHAGAZIXE 


STRIKES,  SPLITS  AND  SPARES 

(-\LLEY  DUST  FROM  THE  CAMERA  BO^^XING  LEAGUE) 


YES,  the  bowling  season  is  on  with 
a  slam -bang -rush.  LaDuque,  of 
the  Kodak  Office  quint,  says  that  the 
lusty  crash  of  the  maples  brings  sweet 
music  to  the  bowlers'  ears — that  is,  if — 
they  hit  'em  right. 

The  first  five  weeks  of  bowling  shows 
some  lofty  averages.  Servise,  Kodak 
Park,  leads  the  league  with  a  206.11 
average,  while  O'Neill  of  the  Camera 
Works  team  jogs  along  close  behind  with 
201. 

Everybody  is  waiting  to  see  the  last 
four  teams  do  some  tall  pinning  very  soon. 
Come  on,  boys,  get  busy!  Knock  those 
first  division  teams  for  two  or  three! 

Hinterleiter  of  the  Camera  Works,  has 
high  game  to  date — 246.  Freisman, 
Premo  team,  has  a  241  game.  O'Neill, 
Camera  Works,  has  three  234  games  and 
one  233.  Some  pretty  good  hitting, 
don't  you  think.^ 

Premo  started  the  season  with  some 
real  bowling.  They  took  three  games 
from  Folmer-Century  and  made  a  good 
showing  against  the  championship  Kodak 
Park  team.  And  Sullivan  wasn't  in  his 
real  form  either. 

The  Camera  Works  team  is  considered 
the  noisiest  in  the  league.  When  Captain 
O'Neill  gets  working  on  all  twelve  cylin- 
ders, the  others  might  just  as  well  quit. 
O'Neill  says  that  Kodak  Park  is  going  to 
be  a  badly  fooled  team  before  the  season 
is  half  over. 

Stockmeister,  Folmer-Century,  has  been 
accused  by  his  team-mates  of  being  a 
charter  member  of  the  Foresters.  Yes, 
there  are  a  number  of  others  who  seem 
to  be  right  on  the  job  when  it  comes  to 
wood-chopping,  Stockmeister. 

When  the  old  ball  just  won't  hit  the 
groove  or  the  seemingly  good  hit  results 
in  a  split,  think  all  you  speak,  but  speak 
not  all  you  think. 

Amey  of  the  Kodak  Office  team  re- 
marked the  other  day  that  it  takes  years 
of  good  bowling  to  get  a  reputation,  but  it 


only  takes  one  bad  loaded  ball  to  lose  it 
for  you.  And  he's  right,  isn't  he, 
LaDuque? 

There's  no  use  talking  and  sputtering 
over  a  bad  break  from  what  appears  to  be 
a  strike  hit.  Things  are  seldom  what 
they  seem. 

Kosel  is  the  star  hitter  for  the  Hawk- 
Eyes  this  year,  with  an  average  of  188. 

How  about  sending  a  five-man  team 
of  the  best  bowlers  in  the  Camera  Bowling 
League  to  Buffalo  to  the  National  Tour- 
nament at  the  close  of  the  bowling  season, 
to  show  the  world  what  Kodak  can  do  on 
the  alleys?  Get  together,  you  bowlers, 
talk  it  over. 


INDOOR  BASEBALL 

After  a  long,  hard,  grinding  business 
day,  it  is  rather  jolly  now  and  then 
to  have  an  evening  game  of  indoor  base- 
ball. Baseball  persons  are  such  cheerful 
folks,  and  it  is  good  fun  trying  your  luck 
at  the  game,  whether  you  are  expert  or 
not.  After  several  days  of  practice,  you'll 
find  that  your  fielding  and  batting  aver- 
ages will  gradually  assume  the  normal 
pace,  and  then  you'll  wonder  how  you 
ever  stayed  away  so  long  from  such  a 
fascinating  game.  Perhaps  it  will  be 
more  interesting  to  some  than  the  out- 
door variety  of  baseball;  try  it  and  see. 

Plans  are  being  completed  for  a  number 
of  Indoor  Teams  throughout  the  different 
plants,  and  undoubtedly  a  real  old-time 
Indoor  League  will  be  in  operation  before 
many  days.  The  girls  have  taken  up 
this  branch  of  sport  also;  so  if  you  can't 
make  a  go  with  one  of  the  big  teams,  men, 
perhaps  the  girls'  team  will  give  you  a 
try-out. 

For  full  particulars  for  an  evening's 
fun,  of  last  year's  flavor,  just  ask  a  team 
member;  you  will  probably  be  entertained 
for  an  hour  and  a  half  on  the  subject, 
"Indoor    Baseball."

SAFEGUARDING    IDEAS 

THE  MISSION  OF  OUR  PATENT  DEPARTMENT 


ROCHESTER  is  the  INIecca  towards 
which  the  photographic  inventor 
turns.  If  anyone  in  the  country  has  a 
new  idea  regarding  photographic  ap- 
paratus, optics  or  chemistry,  he  is  ahiiost 
sure  to  present  it  to  Rochester  for 
consideration. 

In  our  own  organization  we  have  a 
large  force  engaged  in  research  and 
experimental  work,  and  more  often  than 
once  in  a  while  our  Suggestion  System 
brings  to  light  a  new  idea;  all  of  which 
accounts  for  a  quiet  but  very  busy  row 
of  offices  in  Building  Six  at  State  Street, 
wherein  is  housed  our  Patent  Department. 

The  Patent  Department  functions  in  a 
number  of  different  ways.  New  ideas 
of  every  kind,  improvements  in  cameras, 
lenses,  film  spools,  carrying  cases,  tripods, 
developers,  and  papers  are  constantly 
coming  to  bright  workers  in  our  plants, 
as  well  as  from  the  outside. 

Duplication  of  effort  is  a  thing  to  be 
avoided;  no  one  wants  to  waste  a  lot 
of  time  working  out  something  that  some- 
one else  has  already  perfected,  nor  find 
out  when  a  model  is  completed  that  there 
is  a  patent  preventing  its  use  by  us. 

The  Patent  Department  keeps  in  as 
close  touch  as  is  possible  with  these 
activities  and  ascertains  just  what  has 
been  done  affecting  these  ideas. 

Among  its  various  records  the  Patent 
Department  has,  properly  classified,  the 
patents  relating  to "  all  our  products; 
and  it  is  some  file — and  also  carefully 
indexed  files  and  catalogues  of  the  photo- 
graphic concerns  in  many  countries. 

The  museum  of  the  department  con- 
tains models  of  all  kinds  of  photographic 
apparatus  which  is  in  itself  a  fairly 
complete  history  of  photography.    There 


are  also  records  of  the  numerous  sugges- 
tions made  by  employees,  and  by  our 
friends  outside  of  the  company.  ^\Tien 
something  new  is  deemed  worthy  of 
consideration,  or  a  change  in  model  or 
formula  is  suggested,  a  search  is  made 
by  the  department  to  find  out  if  the 
idea  is  new,  or  if  possibly  there  is  already 
a  patent  preventing  its  use  by  us;  also 
to  ascertain  whether  or  not  a  similar 
product  has  ever  been  marketed  and 
its  success.  After  all  this  information 
has  been  obtained  a  report  is  prepared 
showing  just  what  has  been  done  along 
similar  lines,  to  assist  the  designer  in 
working  out  the  finished  product,  or 
to  prevent  him  wasting  his  time  over  an 
idea  controlled  elsewhere. 

During  the  process  of  transforming 
idea  into  product,  and  its  passing  the 
merciless  criticisms  and  severe  tests 
demanded  by  our  high  standards,  changes 
and  improvements  frequently  alter  the 
patent  situation  and  so  it  is  necessary 
for  the  Patent  Department  to  keep  in 
close  touch  with  all  development  work. 

Sometimes  even  after  all  this  care  and 
thought  the  idea  does  not  pan  out  and, 
if  so.  into  the  discard  it  goes. 

When  the  idea  has  passed  all  tests, 
and  is  ready  for  production,  the  depart- 
ment attends  to  the  taking  out  of  the 
necessary  patents.  After  the  idea  child 
is  born,  it  just  naturally  has  to  be  chris- 
tened; many  times  the  proper  name  is 
self  evident,  but  again  much  thought 
must  be  given  as  to  the  best  possible 
name.  In  such  case  the  services  of  the 
Advertising  Department  are  requisi- 
tioned; ]Mr.  Jones,  or  "L.  B.,"  as  he  is 
better  kno^Ti,  is  usually  prolific  in  ideas, 
but    once   in    a    while    he   finds    himself 


THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


stumped;  if  so,  he  calls  a  conference 
from  all  up  and  down  the  long  row  of 
offices  which  house  his  idea  men  and 
gently  "passes  the  buck." 

After  the  name  has  been  approved, 
the  Patent  Department  again  takes 
hold,  and  searches  through  its  long  list 
of  trade  marks  used  anywhere,  any  time, 


by  anybody  and  everybody,  for  things 
photographic  and  so  makes  sure  that 
the  name  finally  adopted  can  be  used 
with  full  rights  and  protection. 

^Nlany  problems  come  to  the  Patent 
Department  regarding  patents,  trade 
marks,  and  questions  of  copyright  which 
are  anything  but  simple  to  solve. 


THE  MUNICIPAL  BUSINESS  LIBRARY— AND  YOU 


DO  you  ever  wish  to  consult  directories 
of  other  cities;  need  help  in  filing  cor- 
respondence, storing  tools,  writing  letters, 
making  out  your  inconife  tax  returns? 
Perhaps  you  would  like  to  make  a  budget, 
save  some  money,  take  out  a  patent,  im- 
prove your  memory,  become  a  better 
salesman  or  accountant,  travel,  be 
naturalized. 

Tliie  Business  Library  can  help  you. 
These  questions  have  been  answered  for 
others  through  books  and  magazines,  and 
your  problem  can  be  solved  too. 

It  has  books  for  the  employment  and 
office  managers,  housekeepers,  advertis- 
ing men,  safety  and  industrial  engineers, 
and  executives.  It  is  a  special  library  that 
is  collecting  and  circulating  the  literature 
of  business  and  municipal  government, 
named  the  Municipal  and  Business 
Branch  of  the  Rochester  Public  Library, 
located  at  13  South  Fitzhugh  Street  in  the 
Municipal  Building. 

The  Business  Library  idea  is  a  develop- 
ment of  some  thirteen  years  past,  and  the 
municipal  reference  branch  of  more  recent 
growth.  The  combination  of  these  two 
types  of  libraries  is  still  newer  and  as  yet 
few  cities  have  established  them — the 
most  notable  examples  being  in  Minne- 
apolis and  Rochester. 

The  Business  Library  has  3,000  volumes 
of  books  and  receives  regularly  150  maga- 
zines. Both  books  and  periodicals  are 
circulated  to  all  who  make  application  at 
the  library.  Here  one  can  find  encyclo- 
pedias, dictionaries  in  English  and  foreign 
languages,  almanacs  and  year  books  giv- 


ing the  latest  statistical  information,  fede- 
ral, state  and  municipal  government  re- 
ports, city  and  business  directories,  time 
tables,  postal  guides,  atlases,  maps  and 
trade  catalogs  of  Rochester  firms. 

There  are  both  telephones  at  the  Busi- 
ness Library,  and  you  are  invited  to  avail 
yourself  of  its  resources  through  them, 
if  you  cannot  come  in  person.  Informa- 
tion is  as  carefully  and  cheerfully  looked 
up  for  telephone  requests  as  it  is  for  those 
who  make  personal  visits.  Many  people 
call  concerning  the  subjects  about  which 
references  are  desired  before  starting  for 
the  Library,  so  that  the  material  will  be 
ready  when  they  arrive.  We  will  be  glad 
to  do  this  for  you. 

Think  Business  Library  when  you  want 
information  about  such  subjects  as  these: 
Production,  Employment  Management, 
Accounting,  Foreign  Trade,  Health  Insur- 
ance, Taxation,  Housing,  Industrial  Re- 
lations, Office  Methods,  Dyes  and  Dyeing, 
Advertising,  House  Decoration,  Govern- 
ment, Character  Analysis,  Prices,  Safety, 
Labor,  Graphic  Presentation,  Success, 
Americanization,  Finance,  Gardening, 
Automobiles,  or  a  good  story. 

We  will  be  glad  to  send  our  lists  of 
books  on  these  or  any  other  subjects. 

Our  hours  are  9  A.  M.  to  6  P.  M.  daily 
except  Sunday.  Our  telephone  numbers 
are  Stone  8345  and  Main  4542.  We  are 
on  the  first  floor  of  the  Municipal  Build- 
ing, 13  South  Fitzhugh  street,  one  block 
from  "Four  Corners."  Come  in  and  let 
us  become  acquainted.

READY  FOR  BUSINESS 

EASTMAN  SAMXGS  AND  LOAN  ASSOCIATION  OFF  TO  A  FLYING  START 


THE  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Asso- 
ciation, our  association — is  now  ready 
for,  and  doing  business. 

Subscriptions  are  coming  in  in  a  most 
gratifying  manner  and  we  have  yet  to 
find  an  employee  who  is  not  absohitely 
sold  on  the  proposition;  you  have  a  lot 
to  gain  and  you  can't  possibly  lose;  so 
let's  go  to  it. 

It  is  just  about  the  most  comfortable 
feeling  there  is,  to  know  that  you  have  a 
bit  tucked  away  for  showery  weather,  or 
that  you  are  getting  to  own  your  own 
home,  or  that  when  your  boy  or  girl  is 
ready  for  college,  that  you  have  the 
money  for  the  purpose  ready  and  waiting. 

Get  the  thrift  habit;  it  is  one  of  the  few 
that  won't  get  you. 

Through  our  Association,  the  process 
of  saving  becomes  almost  automatic,  par- 
ticularly with  the  Installment  Shares. 
Your  department  head  will  be  only  too 
glad  to  supply  you  with  a  prospectus,  and 
the  necessary  subscription  forms. 

Do  not  for  a  single  moment  allow  your 
interest  or  enthusiasm  to  cool — get  in  now 
and  stay  in. 

Just  think  what  it  will  mean  to  you  in  a 
few  years  to  come,  and  the  years  roll 
around  right  speedily;  think  of  the 
satisfaction  of  owning  the  place  you  call 
home,  when  you  can  snap  your  fingers  at 
landlords  and  moving  days.  Think  of  the 
satisfaction  of  being  able  to  put  John  or 
Mary  through  school  when  the  time 
comes. 

Perhaps  some  day  you  may  wish  to  go 
into  business  for  yourself;  the  fact  that 
you  are  a  shareholder  in  a  savings  and 
loan  association  will  help  a  lot  in  estab- 
lishing your  business  credit. 

Subscribe  for  as  many  shares  as  you 
possibly  can;  but  if  you  feel  that  you  can 
only  put  aside  a  small  amount  each  month 
don't  let  that  scare  you  out,  you  will  be 
just  as  welcome  as  the  largest  share- 
holder; remember  the  Eastman  Savings 
and  Loan  Association  is  i/oiir  association. 


Study  the  prospectus  thoughtfully.  See 
how  the  Association  can  help  you. 

If  you  want  to  build  your  own  home, 
see  how  the  housing  plan  will  help  you  in 
selecting  a  house  of  the  right  type  for 
your  needs. 

Study  the  following  table  and  see  how 
easy  it  becomes  to  pay  off  a  loan. 

All  loans  would  be  paid  off  in  the  same  length  of 
time,  as  the  monthly  installments  are  1%  of  the 
mortgage.  For  example,  the  payments  on  a  $2,400 
loan  would  be  $-24:  a  month,  and  a  $3,000  loan,  $30 
a  month.

If  the  borrower  wishes  to  make  payments  in 
addition  to  his  regular  payments  on  a  mortgage  loan, 
they  will  be  received  at  any  time.  Such  payments

KODAK  EMPLOVTES  CROWD  NEW  YORK 
STATE  ARMORY 

Friday  evening,  December  3rd,  saw  the 
New  York  State  Armory  transformed  into 
a  busy  hive  of  Kodak  activity,  the  occa- 
sion being  the  First  Annual  Kodak  Em- 
ployees Entertainment  and  Dance.  This 
affair,  the  first  of  its  kind,  was  sponsored 
jointly  by  all  the  Kodak  Athletic  Asso- 
ciations and  Recreation  Clubs.  Approxi- 
mately 2,500  members  of  the  Kodak 
organization  thronged  through  the 
armory  doors. 

Damon's  augmented  orchestra  fur- 
nished music  of  the  perfect  variety  for  the 
dancers,  and  many  of  the  more  ardent 
devotees  of  terpsichore  regretted  even 
the  intermission,  during  which  the  three 
entertainment  numbers  were  presented. 
These,  however,  were  of  high  calibre.  The 
first,  a  fantastic  dancing  act,  under  the 
title  "Ouija  Magic,"  was  devised,  cos- 
tumed, and  directed  by  Florence  Cole- 
brook  Wetmore,  and  showed  many  of 
Rochester's  most  talented  youthful  dan- 
cers. Act  Number  Two  was  the  "Renee 
Robert  Revue,"  in  "Miss  Twinkle  Toe 
and  her  Mates,"  while  the  final  program 
number  showed  "Seven  Honey  Boys"  in 
**A  Bee-Hive  Full  of  Honey.''  Each  of 
these  acts  came  direct  from  a  big-time 
vaudeville  circuit. 

Another  source  of  satisfaction  to  the 
sponsoring  organizations  was  the  finan- 
cial success  of  their  venture.

DON'T  INVEST  BEFORE  YOU 
INVESTIGATE 

This  is  the  slogan  that  has  been  adopted 
by  the  Bureau  of  Investigation  of  the 
Rochester  Chamber  of  Commerce,  which 
offers  its  services — free  of  charge —  to  anj' 
resident  of  Rochester  whether  a  member 
of  the  Chamber  or  not. 

So  many  securities  are  being  offered  for 
sale  in  concerns  which  are  of  doubtful 
soundness,  and  so  much  money  is  being 
thrown  away  by  the  small  investor,  that 
steps  have  been  taken  by  a  number  of 
organizations  to  inform  the  small  in- 
vestor that  he  should  be  exceptionally 
careful  in  choosing  his  investments. 

An  invitation  is  given  all  residents  of 
Rochester  to  call  to  the  attention  of  this 
Investigation  Bureau  at  the  Chamber, 
all  investments  offered  to  them  by  sales- 
men, by  mail,  or  by  advertising,  so  that 
the  prospective  investor  may  be  given 
advice  as  to  the  soundness  of  the  concern 
offering  the  securities. 

United  States  authorities  estimate  that 
$500,000,000,  was  thrown  away  in  this 
country  in  1919  by  persons  who  invested 
in  unsound  corporations. 

Ask  the  Chamber.  Ask  your  Banker. 
Ask  our  Legal  Department  before 
investing.  

Ask  any  successful  man  for  the  secret 
of  his  success  and  almost  without  excep- 
tion the  answer  will  be  thrift  and  saviyig.

DENTAL  TREATMENT  FOR  YOUR  CHILDREN 

SERWCES  NOW  A^•A1LABLE  FOR  ALL  KODAK  EMPLOYEES'  CHILDREN 
AT  THE  ROCHESTER  DENTAL  DISPENSARY 


FEW  institutions  have  accomplished  so 
great  an  amount  of  good  in  so  short  a 
time  as  has  the  Rochester  Dental 
Dispensary. 

The  Dispensary  was  founded  and  en- 
dowed through  a  realization  of  the  fact 
that  many  of  our  common  ills  are  directly 
traceable  to  defective  teeth. 

The  time  to  begin  the  correction  of 
imperfect  dentition  is  with  the  child,  so 
as  to  afford  him  the  soundest  possible 
basis  for  good  health. 

The  Dispensary  has  done  a  splendid 
work  since  it  has  been  in  operation,  and 
has  relieved  thousands  of  children  in 
Rochester  who,  under  other  circumstances, 
would  have  gone  unaided. 

Naturally  the  work  of  the  Dispensary 
has  had  to  be  carried  on  under  certain 
restrictions;  children  of  families  within 
a  stipulated  income  only,  being  eligible 
for  treatment. 

Circumstances  have  made  it  possible, 
through  a  special  endowment  by  Mr. 
Eastman,  to  modify  these  restrictions  so 
that  the  services  of  the  Dispensary  are 
now  open  to  children  of  Kodak  em- 
ployees residing  in  Rochester  and  its 
immediate  vicinity. 

This  is  a  very  far-seeing  plan  and  one 
making  for  better  and  happier  future 
citizens  of  our  city,  and  future  employees 
of  our  company. 

If  you  have  a  child,  or  children,  with 
imperfect  or  defective  teeth,  do  not  fail 
to  take  advantage  of  this  splendid  oppor- 
tunity for  aiding  them  to  become  strong 
and  healthy. 

The  fees  for  treatment  are  very  small 
(five  cents  for  each  visit),  and  bring  this 
service  within  the  reach  of  every 
employee. 

Application  blanks  for  Dispensary  ser- 
vice may  be  obtained  from  department 
heads  and  the  nurses  in  the  plant  dispen- 
saries.    When  the  form  is  filled  out,   it 


should  be  placed  in  the  envelope  provided, 
and  sent  to  the  Industrial  Relations 
Department,  343  State  Street. 

A  card  of  introduction  to  the  Dispen- 
sary, giving  time  of  appointment,  will  be 
sent  the  applicant;  after  receipt,  the 
child,  or  children,  should  be  taken  to  the 
Dispensary  at  the  time  stated. 

Do  not  overlook  this  opportunity — 
think  what  it  means  to  vour  children. 


KODAK  EMPLOYEES  ASSOCIATION 
(INCORPORATED; 

The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  this 
Association  was  held  on  Wednesday,  De- 
cember 8th,  at  four  o'clock  in  the  after- 
noon. The  Secretary  reported  that  one 
loan  of  $500.00  had  been  closed  since  the 
last  meeting.  One  application  for  a  real 
estate  loan  of  $1,200.00  was  appro ved. 

The  Treasurer,  Mr.  Gorham,  submitted 
his  report  and  Mr.  Haight,  Manager  of 
the  Industrial  Relations  Department, 
presented  a  report  in  regard  to  welfare 
cases  on  which  action  had  been  taken  at 
previous  meetings  of  the  Board. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Association 
will  be  held  on  Saturday  evening,  Janu- 
ary 15,  lO^l.  The  Association  fixed  the 
Premo  Works  as  the  place  for  holding 
this  meeting. 

Elections  are  now  being  held  in  the 
various  plants  to  choose  representatives 
on  the  Board  of  tiie  Association. 


It's  no  use  offering  a  reward  for  the 
return  of  a  lost  opportunity.  Later  on 
when  your  co-workers  are  drawing  their 
quarterly  dividends  of  their  paid  up  in- 
stallment shares  of  the  Eastman  Savings 
and  Loan  Association,  you'll  wish  that  you 
had  taken  an  early  advantage  of  the  best 
possible  means  to  save  and  invest.

In  the  days  of  the  hair-cloth  sofa  and 
the  "what-not,"  with  souvenirs  from  the 
Centennial  on  it,  it  was  the  custom  to 
make  New  Year  calls. 

All  the  families  in  town  with  marriage- 
able daughters  kept  open  house  on  New 
Year's  Day,  and  the  less  deadly  sex 
responded  nobly. 

Dressed  "fit  to  kill"  and  armed  with  a 
stock  of  calling  cards,  and  an  appetite, 
the  young  men  made  the  rounds  until 
exhausted  nature  asserted  herself. 

"The  cold  gray  dawn  of  the  morning 
after"  undoubtedly  had  much  to  do  with 
the  making  of  New  Year  resolutions, 
which  was  also  considered  the  proper 
thing  to  do  at  this  period. 

We  have  advanced  a  bit  since  that 
period;  we  have  learned  the  folly  of  plung- 
ing into  an  orgy  of  good  resolutions  at  one 
fell  swoop,  soon  finding  that  our  spiritual 
digestive  apparatus  could  not  assimilate 
them. 

Still  with  most  of  us  there  is  room  for  a 
few  good  resolutions  and  the  i)eginning  of 
a  new  year  would  seem  to  be  a  good  time 
to  put  them  into  effect. 


We  are  not  going  to  make  any  definite 
suggestions — you  know  your  own  fail- 
ings, so  we  will  simply  wish  you,  everyone, 
a  most  Happ3'  and  Prosperous  New  Year. 


In  a  recent  issue  of  "System"  magazine 
there  appeared  an  interview  with  Mr. 
Eastman  which  offered  an  intimate 
glimpse  into  the  development  of  our  com- 
pany. This  interview  has  been  widely 
commented  upon,  and  liere  is  one  com- 
ment for  you  to  tliink  over. 

"One  significant  statement  which  he 
makes  contains  a  lesson  in  a  few  words, 
which  a  column  of  our  magazine  could 
not  make  so  impressive. 

"After  deciding  to  go  into  photography 
as  a  business,  he  said  'Drawing  $3,000.00 
that  I  had  saved  from  my  salary,  I  hired  a 
room.' 

"When  the  opportunity  came,  he  was 
ready  for  it  and  his  savings  enabled  him 
to  grasp  it" — "You  press  the  button  and 
a  little  ready  money  will  often  do  the  rest." 

If  you  have  been  undecided  about  sub- 
scribing for  shares  in  our  Savings  and  Loan 
Association,  just  read  the  foregoing  over 
again,  and  let  it  sink  in. 

If  there  is  anything  you  do  not  fully 
understand  regarding  the  plans  of  the 
Association,  just  phone  Mr.  Bartholomew, 
Kodak  Office,  and  he  will  gladly  inform 
you.  

One  of  our  fellows  commenting  on  the 
plan  for  payments  on  a  home  building 
loan,  felt  that  it  took  quite  a  long  time  to 
complete.  We  asked  him  if  he  ever 
stopped  to  figure  that  he  could  pay  rent 
on  a  house  for  twenty  years,  and  then  all 
he  would  have  would  be  the  rent  receipts. 


If  you  have  children  we  ask  you  to 
give  most  thoughtful  consideration  to  the 
article  on  page  7  regarding  the  work  of 
the  Rochester  Dental  Dispensary  and  the 
advantages  it  affords.  Do  not  neglect 
this  splendid  opportunity  to  give  your 
children  the  best  possible  physical  foun- 
dation, as  it  will  mean  so  much  to  them 
later  in  life.

WHEN  DO  WE  EAT? 

"Soup-y,  soup-y,  soup, 
^Yithout  a  single  bean; 

Pork-y,  pork-y,  pork. 
Without  a  strip  of  lean; 

Coffee,    coffee,    coffee. 
The  weakest  ever  seen!" 


TWO  years  ago,  to  the  1,500  or  so 
of  us  who  were  lucky  enough  to 
get  into  Uncle  Sam's  O.  D.,  the  shrill 
notes  of  that  little  ditty  were  often  the 
most  welcome  blast  the  battered  old 
bugle  ever  blew.  And,  how  we  did 
tumble  into  the  old  mess-hall  for  "slum" 
and  "willie,"  or  whatever  else  the  K.  P.'s 
were  handing  out.     But,  now  that  we're 


Kodak  plants  are  no  exception  to  this 
rule  of  progress,  and  now,  almost  every 
Kodak  worker  can,  if  he  wants  to,  get 
his  lunch  without  going  outside  the 
plant. 

One  of  the  smallest,  but  most  attractive 
of  the  company  dining-halls,  is  that  at 
Premo.  This  room  is  also  used  as  a 
meeting    place    for     the     Premo    Club. 


A  JOLLY  PREMO  CROWD  AT  LUNCH 


back  in  "civics"  it's  no  longer  the  bugle, 
but  a  hoarse  noon  whistle  that  tells 
us  when  it's  time  to  "wander  out  after 
our  nickel's  worth  of  dog-meat."  And, 
where  do  we  go? 

Time  was  when  the  man  or  woman  in 
industry  had  to  "tote"  his  noon-day 
meal  along  with  him  when  he  left  home 
in  the  morning,  out  of  which  custom 
grew  one  of  our  most  picturesque  cam- 
paign slogans — "The  Full  Dinner  Pail." 
Today,  however,  the  factory  lunch-room 
is  a  fundamental  of  the  up-to-date  shop. 


Pictures  and  flags  help  to  give  the  room 
a  home-like  appearance.  On  one  side 
is  a  small  stage  which  is  used  by  the 
Premo  Orchestra  during  its  noon-hour 
concerts  on  Tuesdays  and  Thursdays. 
This  club  room  is  the  center  of  interest 
for  Premo  workers,  about  I'io  of  whom 
remain  at  the  i)lant  for  lunch.  When 
this  number  is  being  served,  the  room  is 
pretty  well  filled,  for  its  maximum 
c-apacity  doesn't  run  much  over  135  at  a 
sitting.  To  keep  this  dining-room  in 
going  order  requires  the  entire  services

of  three  people  with  an  extra  helper  for 
part  of  the  day.  While,  of  course,  lunch 
is  the  only  meal  served  regularly  every 
day,  there  are  frequent  calls  for  an 
extra  supper  when  there's  overtime 
work  to  be  done.  These  calls  require, 
on  an  average,  the  preparation  of  about 
fifty  meals  a  week. 

The  Hawk-Eye  system  is  different, 
with  two  separate  dining-rooms — one 
for  men  and  the  other  for  women.  There 
are  four  regulars  on  the  food  staff — a 
pastry  cook,  a  meat  cook,  an  assistant, 


and  Charles  Brown,  the  stew^ard.  With 
the  help  of  four  extra  girls  at  noon,  they 
manage  to  take  care  of  200  people  a 
day,  and  it  takes  them  just  27  minutes 
to  handle  the  crowd.  Not  so  bad,  eh.'* 
Haw^k-Eye,  too,  has  the  supper  problem 
for  overtime  workers.  Mr.  Brown,  the 
steward,  is  a  concocter  of  novel  ideas 
in  the  food  line.  For  proof,  just  make 
some  inquiries  about  his  date-rhubarb, 
or  fig-pineapple  pies.

room  right  on  the  first  floor.  Since  the 
new  building  has  been  opened  the  dining- 
room  on  the  fourtli  floor  of  the  old 
building  has  been  converted  into 
production  departments.  In  the  new 
room  8.50  people  can  l)e  accommodated 
at  one  time.  The  average  number  of 
patrons  is  1,-200  per  day.  It  requires, 
of  course,  a  considerable  staft'  to  serve 
so  many  diners.  Miss  Crarer  has  the 
management  of  the  Camera  Works 
dining-room,  and  her  right  hand  man 
is  M.  J.  Pollenqiie,  chef,  whose  past 
experience  includes  fourteen  years  at 
the  Powers  Hotel,  and  two  years  at  the 
Waldorf-Astoria.  If  you  don't  believe 
he's  a  past  master  of  the  culinary  craft, 
just  drop  in  by  way  of  the  Piatt  Street 
entrance  some  noon  and  try  out  his 
wares.  One  time  will  convince  you. 
Fifteen  people  give  their  entire  time  to 
the  maintenance  of  the  Camera  Works 
dining-room,  while  seventy  others  are 
required  to  assist  at  noon. 

Kodak  Park,  of  course,  with  a  young 


city  all  its  own,  has  to  have  more  elaborate 
and  complete  food  facilities.  Their  din- 
ing halls  come  almost  in  the  Mike  Miller 
class  in  one  respect,  for  they  "never 
close" — except  on  Sunday.  Four  dining 
halls  are  now  in  operation  with  a  seating 
capacity  of  about  3,200.  A  dining- room  in 
Building  -23  has  recently  been  completed. 
The  four  dining  halls  now  in  use  serve 
between  4,000  and  5,000  meals  each  day. 
All  these  are  under  the  general  charge  of 
F.  L.  Grastorf,  ^lanager.  He  is  assisted 
by  Miss  Ruth  Hardy  as  dietitian. 
Sixty-nine  people  put  in  full  time  on 
work  connected  with  running  the  Kodak 
Park  dining  halls,  and  these  sixty-nine 
are  assisted  by  about  one  hundred  extra 
girls  at  meal  times. 

The  Main  Office  and  Folmer-Century 
Works  are  the  only  branches  of  the 
company  which  have  not  dining-rooms 
of  their  own.  Main  Office  people  have 
the  privilege  of  using  the  Camera  Works 
dining  hall,  while  some  of  the  girls 
prepare    their    noon    meal    in    the    third

floor  lunch  room,  where  Mrs.  Elrich 
reigns.  Most  of  the  Fohner-Century 
people  can  easily  go  home  for  lunch, 
while  the  others  find  it  convenient  to 
get  eating  facilities  within  a  short  distance 
from  the  plant. 

No  great  stretch  of  the  imagination  is 
necessary  to  realize  that  an  enormous 
quantity  of  food  is  consumed  each  month 
in  all  these  dining-rooms.  In  an  average 
month  the  lunch  rooms  of  these  four 
plants,  Kodak  Park,  Camera  Works, 
Hawk-Eye  and  Premo,  use  over  26,000 
quarts  of  milk,  almost  26,000  loaves  of 


bread,  better  than  eighteen  tons  of 
meat,  and  1,048  bushels  of  potatoes. 
Then  there's  the  pie  record — not  quite 
13,000  a  month.  And  for  beverages, 
we  use  1,842  pounds  of  coffee  and 
eighty-seven  pounds  of  tea.  Even  with 
sugar  as  hard  to  get  as  it  has, been,  Kodak 
consumption  reaches  a  monthly  average 
of  almost  five  tons. 

All  in  all,  it  sort  of  sets  a  record  for 
the  Childs,  Automat,  Waldorf,  Baltimore, 
and  such-like  systems  to  shoot  at,  doesn't 
it? 


MAKE  SUGGESTIONS 


"It  so  happens  in  this  world  that  a  great 
many  people  have  had  ideas,  knowledge 
of  how  to  do  things  and  a  possibility  to 
do,  but  they  have  not  taken  action.  They 
have  thought  of  schemes;  have  worked 
out  plans,  roughly;  have  considered  that 
this  or  that  was  the  way  to  accomplish 
certain  things;  but  they  have  not  tried 
them  out.  They  have  put  them  off  until 
tomorrow.  A  great  element  in  any 
success,  therefore,   is  the  doing  of  that 


thing  promptly  which  seems  to  be  worth 
while.  Some  of  the  things  carried  out 
will  prove  successful,  others  may  not; 
but  the  very  doing  of  them  will  suggest 
better  schemes,  will  animate  everybody 
around  to  make  suggestions  and  to  do 
things.  It  is  not  enough  to  think  that  a 
thing  ought  to  be  done;  the  thinking  is 
only  valuable  when  the  thing  is  done. 
Turn  your  thoughts  into  action." —

THIRD  AMATEUR  PHOTOGRAPHIC  COMPETITION 

CASH  AWARDS:     $50.00,  $-2,5.00,  $1.>.00.   $10.00 


AT  the  time  this  is  being  written,  the 
L.  entries  for  our  Second  Quarterly 
Amateur  Photograjihic-  Competition  are 
coming  in  in  highly  gratifying  numbers. 

The  names  of  the  prize  winners  and  the 
winning  pictures  will  be  published  in  the 
February  number. 

We  have  not  been  surprised  at  the 
number  of  amateur  photographers  in  the 
employ  of  the  company  that  these 
contests  have  disclosed,  but  we  have 
been  pleasantly  surprised  at  the  number 
of  truly  artistic  workers  in  our  ranks. 

We  feel  these  competitions  are  doing 
a  good  work;  they  not  only  stimulate  a 
friendly  rivalry  between  the  contestants, 
but  do  much  to  increase  the  love  for,  and 
the  understandingof,  the  artistic  by  show- 
ing us  what  the  other  fellows  are  doing. 

The  Third  Quarterly  Amateur  Photo- 
graphic Competition  for  Kodak  employees 
will  begin  February  1st,  and  close  April 
30th.  The  awards  will  be  the  same  as  for 
the  previous  contests;  First  Award  $50.00, 
Second  Award  $'25.00,  Third  Award 
$15.00,  Fourth  Award  $10.00. 

Subjects :  Snow  Scenes,  Winter  Sports, 
Still  Life  Pictures. 

Conditions 

These  competitions  will  be  open  to  all 
employees  of  the  Eastman  Kodak  Com- 
pany, excej)t  demonstrators,  those  who

HAVE  YOU  A  BOY  OR  GIRL  UNDER  FIFTEEN? 

IF  SO,  HA\'E  THEM  READ  THIS  STORY 


ALL  good  little  boys  and  girls — there 
^  are  no  really,  truly  bad  little  boys 
and  girls — want  to  do  everything  they 
can  to  help  their  fathers  and  mothers. 

Of  course  3^011  run  errands  cheerfully,  are 
careful  not  to  track  snow  and  mud  into 
the  house,  and  keep  your  face  and  hands 
clean. 

Now  all  this  helps  father  and  mother  a 
lot,  but  there  is  still  another  way  that  per- 
haps you  have  not  thought  of  that  will 
also  help  a  lot. 

You  see  it  is  like  this.  Both  father  and 
mother  have  cautioned  you  about  play- 
ing with  matches,  have  asked  you  not  to 
meddle  with  bottles  in  the  medicine 
chest,  because  some  of  them  might  con- 
tain poison,  and  have  told  you  over  and 
over  again  to  be  careful  when  crossing 
streets,  and  to  look  both  ways  before  you 
cross  so  you  won't  get  bumped  by  a 
"flivver"  or  a  trolley  car. 

Now  if  father  has  to  go  to  his  work  in 
the  morning,  and  during  the  day  wonders 
if  you  are  going  to  do  some  careless  thing 
that  will  hurt  you,  he  will  worry  about  it, 
and  when  a  man  is  worried  he  just  cannot 
do  good  work;  and  if  every  time  mother 
sees  you  leave  the  house,  she  has  to  stand 


in  the  door  to  see  that  you  cross  the  street 
carefully,  and  then  goes  in  and  worries 
because  you  are  "so  thoughtless,"  she 
cannot  do  good  work  either. 

So  you  see  you  can  help  father  and 
mother  a  lot  by  being  careful,  and  think- 
ing and  acting  Safety  First  all  the  time. 

We  want  every  Kodak  boy  and  girl  to 
begin  right  away  thinking  about  safety. 

To  niake  it  worth  your  while,  and  to 
keep  you  thinking  about  it,  we  are  going 
to  offer  a  prize  of  five  dollars  to  any  boy 
or  girl  under  the  age  of  fifteen  years, 
whose  father  or  mother  is  employed  by  the 
company,  for  the  best  essay  on  safety; 
there  will  also  be  awards  for  the  nine  next 
best  essays  (a  splendid  safety  game  which 
all  the  family  can  enjoy). 

The  essays  must  not  exceed  five  hun- 
dred words  in  length  and  must  be  sent 
in  to  the  Editor  of  the  Kodak  Magazine 
on  or  before  February  fifteenth. 

The  i>rize-winning  essay  will  be  pub- 
lished in  the  Magazine  in  the  March 
issue. 

Now  isn't  this  a  pleasant  way  to  help 
father  and  mother  and  yourself?  So 
sharpen  up  your  pencils  and  get  busy. 


PACK  UP  YOUR  TROUBLES! 


ONE  of  the  fellows  came  into  our  office 
the  other  day,  slammed  himself  down 
into  a  chair  and  announced  that  he  was 
disgusted  with  everything.  He  said  that 
everything  that  he  had  tackled  for  a  week 
or  more  had  gone  wrong  in  spite  of  every- 
thing he  could  do. 

We  have  felt  the  same  way  on  occa- 
sions, but  when  you  come  to  think  of  it, 
not  one  of  us  can  hit  the  bull's  eye 
every  time. 

There  used  to  be  a  chap  who  sat  in  a 
chair  under  the  New  York  Central  Bridge 
on  State  Street;  he  didn't  have  any  legs, 
and  made  his  livelihood  by  turning  the 
handle  of  a  small  wheezy  barrel  organ. 
More  pennies  than  nickels,  and  none  too 


many  of  either,  were  dropped  into  the  tin 
cup  on  the  top  of  the  little  organ,  yet  he 
was  always  cheerful.  When  anyone  made 
a  contribution,  he  was  rewarded  with  a 
smile  and  a  hearty  "thank  you."  The 
little  organ  and  its  owner  have  been 
absent  for  a  good  long  time  now,  but  his 
memory  as  a  gloom  chaser  still  lingers  in 
our  minds. 

When  you  get  the  blues,  or  feel  that  you 
made  an  everlasting  chump  of  yourself, 
you  can,  if  you  stop  to  think  a  moment, 
find  someone  a  whole  lot  worse  off  than 
yourself,  so  "pack  up  your  troubles"  and 
dig  in  and  you'll  soon  see  the  sun  shining 
again.

K.  O.  R.  C.DAXCES— OX  AGAIN 

On  January  28,  1921,  the  Kodak  Office  Recreation 
Club  will  resume  its  winter  schedule  of  dances.  The 
two  which  have  taken  place  to  date  have  been  live 
parties  and  well  attended  by  the  members. 

On  both  occasions,  special  features  were  arranged 
for  the  amusement  of  those  who  are  not  so  fond  of 
dancing.  At  the  last  party,  Marie  Mat  tern  of  the 
.Service  Department  sang  several  solos  and  Florence 
Wright  of  the  Order  Department  gave  a  solo  dance. 

Harry  Seaman,  that  notable  caterer  whose  talent 
was  discovered  on  the  first  K.  O.  R.  C.  Outing,  as- 
sisted by  a  number  of  eleventh  floor  beauties,  had 
charge  of  the  refreshments,  and  needless  to  say, 
they  were  par  excellence. 

The  music  was  peppy;  the  floor  was  fine.  What 
more  could  one  ask  for  a  dollar  and  a  dime.^ 

Be  out  for  the  next  dance.    It's  going  to  be  better 

than  ever.  

ARE  YOU  CASHING  IN." 

The  company  paid  $1200  more  during  the  year  of 
1920  for  suggestions  made  by  employees  of  Kodak 
Office  than  was  paid  in  1919.  We  are  ready  to  pay 
even  a  bigger  amount  in  1921.  AVe  want  you  to  get 
your  share.  Make  a  worthwhile  New  Year's  reso- 
lution— "One  Suggestion  a  Montli."  They  benefit 
you  as  well  as  the  company. 

Look  over  the  list  of  awards  in  the  Suggestion 
Bulletins.  Notice  the  type  of  suggestions  that  are 
being  adopted,  and  don't  give  up  if  at  first  you  don't 
succeed. 

During  the  past  year  one  of  our  Stock  House  em- 
ployees entered  twelve  suggestions,  all  of  which  were 
found  to  be  impractical  for  adoption.  Nevertheless, 
he  tried  again  and  thirteen  was  his  lucky  number. 
This  suggestion  was  adopted  and  we  are  sure  that  he 
agrees  with  us  that  he  was  well  repaid  by  the  one 
award  for  the  time  that  he  spent  in  developing  the 
first  twelve  suggestions. 

One  thing  more — the  location  of  the  Suggestion 
Office  has  been  changed.  It  is  now  on  the  fourth 
floor  in  the  Industrial  Relations  Department.  Come 
in  and  see  us.  We  .shall  be  glad  to  talk  over  your 
ideas  with  vou  at  anv  time. 


Have  you  heard  the  rap-tap-tap  of  the  hammers 
on  the  thirteenth  floor.'  Well,  new  offices  have  been 
made,  and  the  remaining  people  are  going  to  wel- 
come the  Statistical  Department,  formerly  on  the 
sixteenth  floor. 

Goodness,  the  Auditing  Department  does  look  so 
diflferent.  A  great  transformation  has  taken  place. 
The  Tabulating  Department  was  transferred  to  the 
ninth  floor. 


ARE  YOr  PASSING  UP  A  BET? 

Back  in  the  dark  ages  of  1919,  when  the  Kodak 
Office  Recreation  Club  was  but  a  dream,  the  air 
was  rife  with  reports  about  the  Kodak  Park  Basket- 
ball teams,  the  Camera  Works  Girls'  teams  and 
the  Folmer-Century  Bowling  League.  And  all  the 
time  Kodak  Office  people  were  saying  "Why  doesn't 
the  Main  Office  ever  have  anj-thing  like  that.'" 

But  different  days  have  come.  The  company's 
dollar-for-dollar  appropriation  has  made  possible 
the  Kodak  Office  Recreation  Club,  and  this  organ- 
ization is  now  supporting  bowling  leagues  and  basket- 
ball teams  for  both  men  and  girls.  The  bowling 
leagues  are  attracting  widespread  interest  and 
going  very  successfully.  Not  so  with  basketball, 
however.  The  apathy  shown  by  those  who  should 
be  supporting  our  teams  is  deplorable. 

We  have  one  of  the  best  industrial  teams  in  the 
city — a  team  which  has  turned  in  two  victories  out 
of  three  games.  But  out  of  these  three  games  the 
total  attendance  of  Kodak  Office  people  has  been 
less  than  200.  At  the  last  game,  in  which  our  boys 
neatly  trimmed  the  Rochester  Stamping  Company, 
exactly  34  of  our  1,200  theoretical  supporters  saw 
the  game,  less  than  3'~f.  In  the  face  of  such  in- 
terest, prospects  for  the  completion  of  the  season 
are  extremely  dark. 

An  attempt  is  being  made  to  secure  the  Masonic 
Temple  for  future  games  which  will  be  arranged 
with  such  fast  aggregations  as  Todds,  Perintons  of 
East  Rochester,  Fashion  Park,  Bastian  Brothers, 
Cunninghams,  Seldens,  and  the  American  Laundry 
Machinery  Company — in  addition  to  return  games 
with  Hawk-Eye  and  Rochester  Stamping  Company . 

For  a  four  bits  admission  price,  you  get: 

1.  A  rattling  girls'  preliminary  (always  a  barrel 
of  fim). 

2.  Forty  minutes  of  snappy  basketball  between 
two  speedy  men's  teams. 

3.  Two  hours  of  dancing  with  the  best  music  the 
city  can  afford. 

All  on  a  splendid  court  in  the  best  location  in  the 
city. 

If  you  have  any  doubt  about  your  money's  worth. 
try  it  out  just  once — you  will  be  converted. 

What  do  vou  sav — are  vou  with  us.' 


The  Sales  Department  is  very  proud  of  its  seven 
candidates  out  for  the  Girls'  Basketball  Team.  Even 
though  they  lost  their  first  game,  their  spirits  are 
still  high  and  they  are  counting  on  getting  even  with 
the  Hawk-Eye  team  in  the  near  future.  Come  on 
out  and  root  for  our  girls!

THE   KODAK  MAGAZINE 


ROSS  ROBERTSON 
President,  K.  O.  R.  C.  Bowling  League 

KODAK  OFFICE  BOWXING  LEAGUE 

There  is  a  very  pretty  race  going  on  for  the  va- 
rious positions  in  the  league.  Each  week  sees  several 
changes  in  the  standing  with  the  result  that,  as  we 
wind  up  the  first  half  of  the  schedule,  it  is  anybody's 
race  and  rivalry  is  keen. 

Each  of  the  various  captains  has  it  all  figured  out 
as  to  just  why  the  championship  will  belong  to  his 
department.     Here  are  a  few  of  the  reasons  given: 

Captain  Dave  Solmes  of  Stock  admits  that  his 
team,  while  not  in  first  place  now,  has  only  been 
kept  out  by  the  hardest  kind  of  luck.  Frank  Peart, 
after  rolling  five  games  like  a  "'champ"  was  carted 
away  to  the  hospital.  He  is  now  back  and  ready  to 
knock  'em  dead  along  with  Walter  Capel,  Elwood 
Dunn  and  the  other  regulars. 

The  Sales  Department,  having  for  its  spokes- 
man no  less  a  personage  than  Captain  Jack  Gun- 
derson,  bleats  as  follows,  "We  are  where  all  champi- 
ons like  to  be  at  this  stage  of  the  race, — third  place. 
Any  time  we  feel  the  time  is  ripe,  that  old  number 
one  position  will  be  ours.  With  such  gunners  as 
Ferris,  Strowger,  Hodgson,  Mason,  Fisher,  Seaman, 
Quinlan  and  Batchelder  there  is  nothing  to  it,  noth- 
ing to  it." 

Captains  Gordier  of  Accounting  and  Schug  of 
Bookkeeping  meet  quite  often  and  Jack  must  try 
once  more  to  figure  out  just  how  it  happened  that 
the  l^th  floor  gang  could  win  two  out  of  three.  He 
admits  that  Ray  Hyde  is  the  best  dressed  bowler  in 
the  league,  "Herb"  Rayten  the  most  plump,  and  Kron 
a  tj-pical  south-paw.  With  these  boys  ably  assisted 
by  Harry  Thomas,  Henry  Finger,  Jack  Leysenaar 
and  Herman  (Sewerj  Bakker  it  is  hard  to  believe 


they  would  ever  be  on  the  short  end.  Schug  merely 
points  to  his  list  consisting  of  Biekirck,  Carrell,  King, 
Junker,  Ushold,  etc.,  and  says  more  than  we  can 
remember. 

Bill  Carter  wlio  guides  the  Maintenance  team  can't 
put  on  any  fat  these  days.  He  was  never  so  busy 
in  his  life.  The  trouble  is  due  to  the  fact  that,  while 
a  team  consists  of  five  men.  Bill  has  forty  regulars 
and  several  subs  who  want  to  roll  each  week. 

Captain  Coan  insists  that  the  Engraving  Depart- 
ment team  be  known  as  the  "League  of  Nations,"  it 
consisting  of  an  Irishman,  German,  Englishman, 
Hebrew,  and  a  Bonny  Scot.  They  should  produce 
something  before  the  season  ends. 

The  Service  Department  is  now  leading  the  League 
and  from  the  angle  where  Captain  John  Berl  sits 
that  is  the  one  and  only  place  to  be.  "Just  look  at 
them,"  says  Johnny,  "why  man,  we  have  more 
class  here  than  any  two  teams  put  together.  To 
cover  the  good  points  and  give  each  man  his  just 
reward  we  could  fill  a  whole  edition  of  the  Maga- 
zine." 

Captain  VanDusen  is  rapidly  gettinghis  men  where 
he  wants  them.  At  present  Joe  Kick  is  the  only  man 
who  is  always  expected  to  toss  them  for  two  hundred. 
Tutty's  graceful  delivery  is  wonderful  to  behold  and 
the  others  are  gradually  coming  to  the  point  where 
every  match  means  three  straight. 

When  asked  how  Domestic  Shipping  was  making 
the  grade,  Captain  Jack  Schoenwitz  took  one  back- 
ward step  and  burst  forth  in  poetry.  Would  that 
we  could  give  it  to  the  world  but  space  is  limited. 
However  here  is  the  last  line,  "With  vim  an'  pep — • 
Oh  Boy, — Victory."  Do  you  wonder  those  boys  are 
up  at  the  top  and  going  strong.^ 

The  Advertising  bimch  is  not  a  bit  discouraged 
and  expects  to  win  a  lot  of  games  now  that  McCarthy 
has  joined  their  forces.  Captain  Stillson  claims  there 
was  only  one  weak  spot  and  "Mac"  fills  that.  All  the 
regulars  are  improving  and  some  regular  he-man 
scores  coming  in. 

Export  Shipping,  which  is  guided  by  our  genial 
secretary,  has  been  doing  great  things  and  is  rest- 
ing easy  for  the  time  being.  With  such  men  as  Cap- 
tain La^^Tence,  Xeufeglise,  Harding,  Wagner,  Udart, 
Beldue,  Butler  and  Ernisse  to  draw  from,  they  are 
always  dangerous. 

Captain  "Scoop"Cooley  of  the  Industrial  Relations 
finds  it  easy  to  smile  these  days.  Looks  like  a  regu- 
lar team  now  and  the  boys  are  out  to  make  up  for 
lost  time.  When  Ijooked  to  meet  this  bunch,  oppos- 
ing captains  had  better  bring  out  their  best  stickers. 
They  are  dangerous.

BASKETBALL  GIRLS   LOSE  TO  HAWK-EYE 

Tlie  Kodak  Office  Girls'  Basketball  team  made  its 
first  appearance  on  a  piihlic  court  Tuesday  evening, 
December  7th,  in  a  preliminary  game  with  theHawk- 
Eye  girls.  Although  Kodak  Office  girls  lost  by  a 
14-4  score,  they  made  a  fine  showing  considering  that 
only  two  j)ractices  were  held  previous  to  the  game. 
The  team  has  plenty  of  good  enthusiastic  material 
and  should,  with  a  few  practices,  improve  into  a 
good,  live  team. 

Helen  Gentry  of  the  Sales  Department,  captain 
of  the  Kodak  Office  team,  was  the  star  player 
and,  although  she  was  held  to  one  basket,  did 
splendid  work  in  capturing  the  ball  and  keeping  it 
at  their  end  of  the  hall.  Ruth  Kimmel,  of  the  Steno- 
graphic &  Training  Dejiartment,  scored  the  other 
basket  for  Kodak  Office  and  played  a  good  game  as 
forward. 

The  Hawk-Eye  girls  jilayed  a  clean-cut  game,  flis- 
playing  fine  team  and  pass  work.  Tlieir  line-up  was 
as  follows:  Ethel  Reinhardt,  Jane  DeGraff,  Alice 
Gears,  Elizabeth  Meerdink,  Grace  Weimer,  Virginia 
Earl,  Harriett  Batzing, Olive  Kellett, Loretta  Ereth, 
and  Wilhelmina  Maier. 

The  Kodak  Office  team  was  composed  of  these 
girls:  Helen  Gentry,  Anna  Darcy,  Ruth  Kimmel, 
Annabel  Hazell,  Clara  Efford,  Ruth  Sullivan,  ]Mil- 
dred  Lambert,  Margaret  Massing  and  IsabelleKoch. 


Aurelia  Hillman  is  a  newcomer  to  the  IGth  Floor 
where  she  is  working  for  Mr.  Holmes  of  the  Planning 
Department.  Miss  Hillman  is  a  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Rochester.  Before  coming  to  work  for 
the  company,  she  was  Secretary  to  the  District 
Director  of  the  Interchurch  Movement.  We  are 
glad  to  have  Miss  Hillman  with  us  and  wish  her  all 
success  in  her  new  work. 


On  Saturday,  December  4th,  1920,  "Pop"  Durfee, 
foreman  of  the  Testing  and  Packing  Department, 
was  pleasantly  remembered  by  the  employees  of  the 
department,  it  being  the  occasion  of  his  birthday. 

I'pon  his  desk  had  been  placed  a  choice  bouquet 
of  Japanese  chrysanthemums  to  which  was  attached 
an  appropriate  verse  expressing  the  good  will  and 
the  best  wishes  of  all  the  employees  of  the  depart- 
ment.   

Eleanor  Corris  of  the  Billing  Department  has 
been  confined  to  her  home  for  several  weeks,  hav- 
ing contracted  scarlet  fever  the  first  week  of  her  va- 
cation. She  returned  to  the  office  recently  and  we 
are  all  delighted  to  hear  her  merry  laugh  once  more. 


Xaomi  R.  Voss  of  the  Billing  Department  and 
Charles  Franklin  Fose  were  married  Thanksgiving 
eve  at  the  home  of  the  bride,  .\mong  the  prc-nuj)- 
tial  events  was  a  dinner  at  the  Hotel  Rochester, 
given  by  the  girls  of  the  Billing  Department,  and 
a  variety  shower  by  Mabel  Carter  also  of  the 
Billing  Dei)artment.  Please  accept  our  best  wi-shes 
for  your  hai)pincss,  Naomi. 


The  Sales  Department  wants  to  express  its  deep- 
est sATiipathy  to  Mildred  Glidden  upon  the  recent 
death  of  her  mother.

KODAK  OFFICE  DEFEATS  HAAVK-E\T 

On  Tuesday,  December  7th,  with  Manager  Fred 
J.  Fogarty  handling  the  reins,  the  Kodak  Office  bas- 
ketball team  defeated  the  crack  Hawk-Eye  Outfit 
18-17.  This,  no  doubt,  was  the  most  exciting  game 
between  any  of  the  plants  in  recent  years,  espe- 
cially the  first  half  which  ended  with  a  score  of  5  to  3, 
the  State  Street  athletes  having  the  long  end.  The 
close  guarding  of  our  boys  was  the  feature  of  the 
game.  The  second  half  was  nip  and  tuck;  first  the 
St.  Paul  Street  aggregation  would  lead  by  a  point  and 
then  a  few  .seconds  later  our  lads  would  forge  to  the 
front.  In  fact  it  was  nobody's  game  until  the  last 
few  seconds  of  play  when  McNeil,  Culbertson  and 
Scoffield  staged  a  wonderful  piece  of  pass  work,  and 
several  "sieves"  placed  the  Fogarty  pets  in  the  lead 
when  the  whistle  blew.  Toddy  Diehl,  our  star  base- 
ball pitcher,  amazed  the  crowd  by  his  speedy  floor 
work.  Clark,  Ilaig  and  Stutz  displayed  clever  head 
work  and  the  ability  of  these  boys  in  forcing  the 
leather  up  and  do^\ii  the  court  was  conunendable. 
The  crowd  was  made  up  mo.stly  of  fans  from  both 
plants  and  the  cheering  was  terrific  when  their  fa- 
vorites scored. 

Jones,  Peterson  and  Johnson  scored  for  the  vis- 
itors. 

These  are  good  games.  Come  out  and  sui)port 
your  team,  and  besides,  there  is  dancing  afterwards. 


The  mail  department  is  glad  to  see  Miss  Nolan 
after  her  vacation.    Everyone  missed  her. 


The  great  trouble  with  the  school  of  experience 
is  that  the  course  is  so  long  that  the  graduates  are 
too  old  to  go  to  work.

EDITH  KATE  REID 

Edith  Kate  Reid  received  a  hearty  welcome  from 
the  Testing  and  Packing  Department  upon  her  safe 
retm-n  November  '29,  19'20,  after  an  absence  of  thir- 
teen months,  during  which  time  she  had  been  em- 
ployed by  Kodak  Ltd.,  London,  England. 

She  reports  a  stormy  pas.sage.  but  does  not  share 
the  popular  superstition  regarding  thirteen  and  the 
sixth  day  of  the  week. 

Miss  Reid  entered  the  employ  of  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company  immediately  upon  her  arrival  in 
this  country,  Friday,  June  13th,  1913,  coming 
directly  to  our  city,  and  has  been  continuously 
employed  in  the  Testing  and  Packing  Department, 
until  she  went  for  a  return  visit  last  year  to  her  old 
home  in  London. 

Because  of  her  continued  interest  in  the  work  and 
further  experience  gained  abroad,  we  are  plea.sed  to 
report  her  promotion  to  a  clerkship  in  the  Repair 
Department. 


A  few  months  ago  I  had  a  very  serious  operation 
and  was  in  the  hospital  several  weeks.  I  want  to 
thank  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company  for  giving  me 
the  services  of  such  excellent  doctors  as  Dr.  Sawyer 
and  Dr.  Fitch.  I  also  want  to  thank  all  of  the  nurses 
connected  with  the  company  for  their  kindness  dur- 
ing my  convalescence;  also,  the  Welfare  League  of 
the  Shipping  Department  for  the  smokes,  fruit  and 
flowers.  Every  one  has  been  so  kind  and  good  to  me 
that  I  must  say  it  is  a  great  pleasure  to  be  connected 
with  such  a  company. 

Yoiu-s  truly, 
(Signed)      Geo.  T.  Amsbury,

At  least  nine  girls  from  the  eleventh  floor  can  testi- 
fy that  Pauline  Lighthouse  Semple's  husband  will 
never  go  hungry — for  didn't  they  sup  with  Pauline, 
Wednesday,  December  1st,  and  have  the  best  things 
to  eat.^  While  the  food  was  the  main  attraction,  it 
was  by  no  means  the  only  one.  Esther  Dawson 
gave  some  exhibition  dances.  Mary  Troy  moved  all 
to  tears  with  her  masterful  rendition  of  the"Suwanee 
River"  on  the  banjo  anrl  Kathryn  Lamphere  gave 
an  illustrated  lectureon  the  "ups  and  do\^^lsof  horse- 
back riding."  Of  course  they  all  had  a  good  time, 
with  wonderful  food  and  such  an  assemblage  of 
talent — besides  it  was  at  Pauline's;  who  wouldn't.^ 


Mrs.  Hamilton's  friends  are  sorry  to  learn  that

Carl  Mattern  of  the  Engraving  Department  an-

We  are  glad  to  welcome  into  the  Stock  Depart- 
ment E.  P.  Curtis,  who  has  just  recently  joined  the 
Kodak  ranks. 

Mr.  Curtis  has  an  enviable  record  in  the  world 
war.  At  the  outset  lie  joined  the  Layafette  Squad- 
ron of  the  French  Air  Forces  where  he  did  some 
brilliant  flying.  AMien  America  entered  the  war,  he 
transferred  and  has  a  total  of  thirteen  Boche  planes 
to  his  credit.  For  his  excellent  record,  he  was  com- 
missioned Major  and  sent  into  Russia  on  a  special 
mission.  

Harriet  Natt  and  Mae  Locke  left  December  4th  to 
spend  tlie  winter  in  Los  Angeles,  California. 

The  Misses  Natt  gave  Mae  a  party  before  she  left 
at  which  time  she  was  presented  with  a  handsome

ROCHESTER  STAMPERS 

The  K.  O.  R.  C.  tossers  notched  their  second  vic- 
tory on  Tuesday  evening,  December  loth,  at  the 
Stratford  Rink  by  defeating  the  Rochester  Stamping 
Company's  team  35  to  21.  The  game  was  fast  and 
the  team  showed  the  qualities  of  a  winner.  The 
team  has  defeated  its  last  two  opponents  which  is 
splendid  for  the  first  year  in  the  field.  All  we  need 
now  is  a  greater  number  of  supporters  and  a  cheer 
leader.

dependable  girl,  by  name  Pauline  Lighthouse.  It  is 
understood  that  Frank  Semple  can  give  information 
concerning  her  whereabouts.  She  was  last  seen  at 
a  luncheon  and  kitchen  shower  given  by  some  of 
her  friends.  She  will  be  most  missed  by  the  out- 
going mail  department,  which  gave  her  a  sausage 
roast  and  on  that  occasion  presented  her  with  a  pin. 
She  was  also  given  a  tablecloth  bj-  her  co-workers  on 
the  11th  floor. 


A  very  pleasant  half  hour  was  spent  Friday  after- 
noon, November  19th,  when  all  women  employees  of 
Kodak  Oflfice  of  ten  years  or  more  service  gathered 
together  to  meet  Mrs.  Armstrong,  whose  talk  on  a 
future  "Good  Fellowship  Club"  proved  most  inter-

looking  forward  to  future  meetings  of  the  kind.

of  ill  health. 


We  are  both  .sorry  and  glad  that  Austin  Spencer 
is  leaving  the  Stock  Department  to  join  the  Audit- 
ing force.  The  Professional  stock  enjoyed  a  farewell 
party  in  honor  of  his  promotion.  Ella  McDonnell

Cora  Hettinger  of  the  Finishing  Department  be- 
came the  bride  of  Frederick  Hammer  December  11. 
1920.  Cora  certainly  made  the  Sixth  Floor  people 
sit  up  when  she  told  the  news.  We  all  thought  she 
would  be  married  before  long,  but  never  thought  it 
would  be  so  soon.

BASKETBALLERS  LOSE  CLOSE  ONE 

Yes,  the  Kodak  Office  men  licked  Hawk-Eye  on  De- 
cember 7th  (18-17), but  we  maintain  that  it  was  one 
of  those  games  in  which  the  final  whistle  picked  the 
winner.  Now  if  we  had  had  a  minute  more  in  which 
to  sneak  in  one  basket  from  the  field — . 

Captain  Benny  Levine  and  Doyle  Rosenthal, 
playing  in  whirlwind  style,  certainly  kept  the  Office 
score  down  where  it  should  have  spelled  victory  for 
us,  but  our  offense  seemed  to  lack  something. 

On  the  other  hip,  can  you  imagine  a  couple  of 
guards  holding  Ligleby,  Jones  and  Peterson  to  an 
average  of  about  one  basket  apiece.^ 

Speaking  of  the  redoubtable  "Pete,"  it  takes  a 
strong  man  to  last  through  a  game  against  him. 
His  first  Office  opponent  did  not. 

"Cliff"  Johnson  contributed  three  pretty  shots  that 
were  as  wine  to  the  thirstv  Hawk-Evetes  and  at  the 


same  time  gave  evidence  of  a  guarding  ability  and 
general  sticktuitiveness  that  were  most  annoying  to 
his  adversary. 

It  was  a  great  game,  so  fast  that  the  spectators 
were  as  near  heart  failure  as  the  players. 


DECEMBER  MEETING  OF  HAWK-EYE

The  Hawk-Eye  Foremen's  Club  held  its  monthly 
meeting  in  the  Hawk-Eye  Dining  Room  on  Friday 
evening,  December  10th.  The  members  brought  their 
wives  and  sweethearts  as  guests.  A  pedro  party  fur-

Frank  Fink,  Foreman,  Tool  Department;  Eugene 
Easterly,  Production  Department;  Harry  Althoff, 
Stock  Department;  Mrs.  Groh;  Mrs.  Page  and  Mrs. 
Peiffer.  James  Watts,  Chairman  of  the  Committee, 
is  entitled  to  much  credit  for  the  success  of  the  party.

Wanted:  A  universal  joint,  guaranteed  to  be

Pos.ses.sor  of  such  a  relic  please  communicate  with 
August  Casper,  Drafting  Department. 

Margaret  J.  Finnigan  of  the  Cementing  Depart-

sincere  good  wishes.  Incidentally,  she  has  changed

recent  loss  of  their  sister. 


Charles  Dulielbeiss  of  the  Moulding  Department 
left  us  on  October  'iiJth  for  reasons  unknown  and  for 
parts  unknown.  Report  says  that  he  has  turned 
up  in  Detroit  on  his  honeymoon.  In  other  words, 
he  resigned  here  because  he  had  been  accepted  for 
a  more  important  position. 


Wayne  Mead  of  the  Moulding  Department  has 
left  town  for  Kushford,  X.  Y.,  where  he  intends  to 
spend  the  winter.  Judging  from  the  fact  that  he  will 
live  on  a  farm,  we  should  say  that  he  probably  won't 
spend  anything  else. 


Lewis  Corke  and  Ernest  Eaesling  have  joined  the 
Second  ^Marine  Company,  Naval  Reserve.  Since 
then  they  have  been  discovered  executing  peculiar 
manoeuvers  reminiscent  of  setting-up  exercises  and 
mumbling  certain  phrases  that  remind  one  of  the 
manual  of  arms.  We  mention  this  so  that  their 
strange  conduct  may  not  be  misunderstood  by  their 
fellow-workers  in  the  Anastigmat  Lens  Department.

influenced  him  to  put  it  on  sale.

BASKETBALL  AND  BOWLING  BUSY 
HAWK-EYE  MAIDENS 

Bill  Schlegel's  stars  have  apparently  learned  the 
valuable  lesson  that  business  and  pleasure  should 
be  taken  in  equal  doses  to  be  effective.  For  instance 
on  December  4th  they  practiced  against  the  Ritter 
girls  from  five  imtil  seven  and  anyone  who  has  seen 
them  at  the  game  called  basketball  will  admit  that 
they  go  about  it  in  a  business-like  manner.  As  an 
antidote  they  went  over  to  the  Temple  Theater. 
Jane  DeGraff  seemed  to  derive  more  enjoyment 
from  the  performance  than  anyone  else  for  she  un- 
covered a  most  surprising  variety  of  chortles  and 
caused  more  amusement  than  some  of  Mr.  Finn's 
professional  offerings. 

On  December  11th  the  girls,  after  a  strenuous 
session  at  the  Stratford  Rink,  held  a  business  meet- 
ing and  elected  Alice  Gears  as  captain.  Apparently 
viewing  two  hours  of  basketball  as  work  they  made 
their  way  to  the  Grand  Central  Alleys  and  bowled 
for  three  hours  more  for  recreation.  In  the  prelim- 
inary game  Billy  W^ilson  amassed  a  grand  total  of 
14  pins,  and  seemed  to  be  headed  for  the  cellar.  In 
subsequent  frames,  however,  she  rallied  surprisingly 
until  she  was  almost  within  reach  of  the  first  prize, 
when  she  slumped  again  and  relinquished  that  honor 
to  Billy  Maier.  The  latter  rolled  128,  while  Olive 
Kellett  won  second  place  with  8G.  Ruth  Kiu-tz 
copped  the  clay  incense-man  with  the  imposing  score 
of  18. 


handling  and  teaching  the  girls,  and  besides  she  is 
a  regular  good  fellow.  We  hope  that  another  season 
will  see  her  still  with  us. 

Jane  DeGraft'  played  a  wonderful  game  at  guard 
wliich,  however,  is  nothing  out  of  the  ordinary  for 
her. 

Ethel  Reinhardt,  Elizabeth  Meerdink  and  Loretta 
Ereth,  all  of  them  baseball  players,  were  right  there 
every  minute.  They  play  basketball  to  keep  in  con- 
dition for  baseball,  and  vice  versa.  It  is  said  that 
all  three  have  a  "V"  for  their  middle  initial.  WTiich 
must  stand  for  "versatility." 

Grace  W'iemer  pulled  off  a  shot  from  the  center 
of  the  floor  that  was  a  hair-raiser.  Among  other  out- 
standing features  we  should  say  that  the  girl  has  a 
nice  eye. 

Harriet  Batzing  and  Olive  Kellett,  former  High 
School  stars,  are  coming  along  like  old  timers — and, 
ladies,  when  we  say  "old  timers"  we  mean  to  insinu- 
ate nothing  about  your  ages. 

Virginia  Earl  is  getting  to  be  awfully  tight-fisted 
from  running  the  pay-roll  department.  The  Ofiice 
foimd  that  it  was  a  hopeless  job  to  pry  even  a  ball 
away  from  her. 

Alice  Gears,  by  sifting  in  three  field  baskets,  ac- 
counted for  only  a  third  of  the  points  scored  in  the 
game.  She  has  been  feeling  very  low  ever  since  be- 
cause of  her  poor  showing  as  she  had  three  chances 
to  score.     Her  batting  average  was  only  1,000. 

"Bill"  Schlegel,  famous  coach  of  the  girls'  teams, 
celebrated  November  13,  which  was  said  to  be  his 
eighteenth  birthday.  (He  is  the  only  coach  we  know 
who  is  of  the  same  age  as  his  protegees.)  The 
baseball  girls  woke  up  about  a  week  later  and  stormed 
his  home  on  November  20th,  the  chief  objects 
being  to  commemorate  said  birthday,  present  an 
elegant  silk  shirt  to  Bill  and  annex  some  delicate 
refreshments. 


WILHELMINA   (BILLY)   MAIER 
Coach,  Hawk-Eye  Girls'  Basketball  Team 

The  girls'  basketball  game  with  the  Kodak  Office 
on  Tuesday,  December  7th,  demonstrates  clearly 
what  the  able  leadership  of  Billy  Maier  is  doing  for 
Hawk-Eye.  This  former  member  of  McCarthy's 
All-Stars  is  in  a  class  by  herself  when  it  comes  to 


LENS-MAKERS  BOWL 

Not  so  long  ago  the  Dresden  Hotel  was  the  scene 
of  a  pig  roast  and  bowling  party  attended  by  thirty 
members  of  the  third  and  fourth  floor  lens  depart- 
ments. Fred  Lutz,  Hank  Meinhardt  and  several 
other  well-knowTi  scrappers  led  the  attack  on  the 
unfortunate  pig.  Their  calls  for  ammmiition  were 
so  loud  and  frequent  that  the  other  members  of  the 
party  became  suspicious.  Investigation  established 
beyond  a  shadow  of  doubt  that  these  leaders  had 
fasted  for  a  week  in  order  that  they  might  do  justice 
to  the  event,  as  well  as  cut  the  H.  C.  of  L. 

After  the  eats  the  boys  waddled  over  to  the  alleys 
where  the  Has  Beens,  led  by  "Speedy"  Witz  and  the 
Never  Weres,  under  Art  Abel,  propelled  the  wooden 
Ijall.  Had  there  been  any  prizes  they  would  un- 
doubtedly have  gone  to  Hank  Meinhardt,  whose 
sewer-rolling  was  easily  the  feature  of  the  evening. 
So  consistent  was  he  at  this  trick  that  the  other  side 
won  all  of  the  three  games. 

Before  the  party  broke  up  several  of  the  members 
entertained  with  solos. 

Another  party  is  being  planned  for  this  month,  with 
"Speedy"  Witz  as  general  chairman.  Suggestions 
as  to  the  nature  of  the  blow-out  will  be  welcome. 


It  is  the  courage  of  a  man,  the  faith  of  a  man 
and  the  strength  of  his  spirit  that  controls  his  life, 
not  the  wages  he  earns.

If  Fred  Altnian  of  the  Scientific  Department 
does  not  have  better  luck  cultivating  his  voice  than 
he  did  cultivating  potatoes  last  summer  we  fear  that 
he  will  develop  nothing  more  than  a  sore  throat.

ORCHESTRA  COMING  TO  LIFE 

The  Hawk-Eye  Orchestra,  which  has  been  resting 
on  its  laurels  since  last  spring,  is  now  in  a  fair  way 
of  being  revived  for  another  successful  season. 
Among  the  veterans  of  last  year  whom  we  may  ex- 
pect to  hear  again  are  Louis  Ehrmann  and  George 
Salzer,  the  eminent  saxophone  artists.  ]\Iike  Zimin- 
ski  is  tickling  his  French  horn  nightly,  in  order  to 
get  in  shape  for  the  opening  performances.  Harold 
Groh  and  Leonard  Reynolds  are  feverishly  engaged 
in  their  fiddle  exercises  and  are  averaging  one  new 
bow  per  evening. 

In  addition  to  those  fixed  stars  other  promising 
candidates  are  showing  unmistakable  signs  of  life. 
<  arl  Fischer  has  recently  purchased  a  brand  new 
shiny  saxophone  and  Al  Hardies  has  done  likewise. 
Looks  like  a  saxoplume  (|uartctte  this  year,  boys! 
Lindsay  Sondheim  was  seen  emerging  from  a  music 
store  with  a  banjo-mandolin  tucked  under  his  wing, 
which  probably  means  that  a  little  more  jazz  will 
be  injected  into  the  organization.  In  addition  AVood- 
ams  has  a  new  acquisition  in  his  department  who  is 
])lanninga  violent  assault  on  the  j)iano.  His  night 
attacks  have  already  created  a  furt)re  in  his  neigh- 
borhood with  the  result  that  tlie  ])olice,  as  well  as 
the  Board  of  Health,  have  requested  him  to  leave 
town  and  move  to  Pikes  Peak,  where  he  won't  be 
iible  to  keep  anybody  awake  except  the  echoes. 

Naturally  the  degree  of  success  that  the  orchestra 
will  acliieve  depends  ujjon  the  amount  of  support 
given  it  by  both  factory  and  oflficc.  Therefore  every 
owner  of  a  musical  instrument,  whether  man  or 
woman,  expert  or  beginner,  tromlionist  or  jew's- 
harpist,  is  urged  to  register  as  such  with  his  or  her 
foreman  or  with  the  Personnel  Department. 


GIRLS  FROLIC  AT  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

The  Second  Annual  Frolic  of  the  Hawk-Eye  girls 
will  be  given  on  the  evening  of  February  5th  at  the 
Y.  W.  C.  A.,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Athletic 
Association.  All  those  who  were  present  at  last 
year's  party  will  attest  to  the  success  of  the  affair 
and  it  is  planned  to  make  it  even  more  interesting 
this  year.  "Billy"  Wilson  has  refused  to  divulge  any 
of  the  particulars  but  it  is  known  that  there  will  be 
a  number  of  novel  stunts,  as  well  as  eats,  and  the 
fact  that  the  whole  affair  will  be  run  off  under  Miss 
Wilson's  able  guidance  is  enough  to  stamp  it  as  suc- 
cessful beforehand. 


PITCH  BUTTON  BABY  PARTY 

Tlie  Pitch  Button  Department  ushered  in  the 
Christmas  month  with  a  Baby  Party,  given  in  the 
dining  room  on  December  first.  Short  dresses  and 
hanging  hair  were  the  tickets  of  admittance,  and 
needless  to  state  the  effect  was  very  good — in  fact, 
to  use  the  words  of  one  of  the  participants,  they  were 
"some  babies."  Miss  Drummond  headed  the  list, 
dispensing  pep  in  unending  supply.  The  high  spot 
of  the  evening  was  the  supper,  which  every  one 
agreed  touched  the  well-known  spot,  especially  Mr. 
Brown's  steaming  coffee.  After  supper  the  babies 
played  games  suited  to  their  age  and  sang  songs, 
topping  off  the  party  with  "Till  We  Meet  Again." 

The  girls  of  the  department  are  planning  other 
festivities,  to  take  place  at  intervals  through  the 
winter  and  spring.

TWENTY-FIVE  YEARS  OF  CONTINUOUS  SERVICE 


FRED  B.  VAN  ALLAN 


(.EUKf.E  BEEDHAM 


On  Saturday  evening.  Decenil)er  18tli,  Building 
No.  29  turned  out  in  full  force  at  an  elaborate  din- 
ner, to  do  honor  to  Fred  B.  Van  Allan  and  George 
Beedham,  on  the  occasion  of  the  completion  of 
twenty-five  years  continuous  service  with  the 
Eastman  Kodak  Company. 

The  banquet  was  held  in  the  Assembly  Hall  and 
was  attended  by  three  hundred  and  fifty  friends  of 
the  two  guests  of  honor.  Both  men  have  been 
pioneers  in  the  Film  Coating,  entering  this  end  of  the 
manufacturing  process  at  the  time  of  the  old  flat 
table  coating. 

Dm-ing  the  banquet  music  was  furnished  by  the 
Autographic  Orchestra,  C.  Murphy  leader,  and  the 
table  singing  was  directed  by  W.  H.  Thompson. 
Several  parodies  appropriate  to  the  evening  were 
sung  with  great  gusto. 

Lea\'ing  the  dinner  tables,  the  party  proceeded  to 
the  top  floor  of  the  Assembly  Hall  where  the  en- 
tertainment was  held.  In  a  few  well  chosen  re- 
marks, Mr.  Burrows,  as  toastmaster,  called  on  Mr. 
Haste  and  the  latter  responded  with  a  stirring  talk, 
which  ended  by  presenting  Mr.  Van  Allan  on  behalf 
of  his  assembled  friends,  with  a  massive  mahogany 
chime  clock.  Mr.  H.  LeB.  Gray,  former  superin- 
tendent of  this  department,  in  similar  vein,  pre- 


sented a  duplicate  of , the  other  clock  to  Mr.  Beedham, 
wishing  him  many  future  years  in  which  to  enjoy  it. 
Mr.  H.  D.  Haight  spoke  a  few  words  of  commenda- 
tion to  the  two  recipients. 

Entertainment  was  then  furnished  by  the 
"Goodness  Gracious"  quartette  from  Building  29, 
which  was  attired  in  the  fashions  of  twenty-five 
years  ago;  "Bob"  Caine — "A  wee  drop  o'  Scotch;" 
Raymond  the  magician  and  Hoppaugh  and  Vaughn 
of  Building  48  in  their  skit  "Two  Farmers." 

As  a  fitting  climax  to  the  evening's  fun  the 
Positives  played  the  Negatives  in  a  tight  game  of 
basketball,  which  ended  with  honors  about  even. 


SHIFT  MEN'S  BOWLING  LEAGUE 
A  HUMMER 

Interest  in  Kodak  Park's  youngest  bowling  league 
is  increasing  in  leaps  and  bounds  as  is  clearly  shown 
by  the  increased  attendance  of  loyal  rooters  at 
every  match.  Although  Building  50  got  away  to  a 
poor  start,  they  are  now  showing  real  form  and  are 
a  cause  for  worry  to  the  league  leaders.  The 
popularity  of  this  new  venture,  which  is  a  means  of 
providing  recreation  for  employees  who  work  trick 
work,  is  great  and  from  all  indications  another 
season  will  see  other   departments  represented.

KODAK  PARK  BREEDERS'  EXHIBIT  GREAT  SUCCESS 

The  second  annual  exhibit  by  the  Kodak  Park 
Fur  and  Feather  Club  held  in  the  Assembly  Hall 
November  30th  to  December  3rd  inclusive,  was  a 
success  even  beyond  the  greatest  expectation  of  the 
members. 

Over  400  entries  were  obtained,  consisting  of 
almost  every  type  of  the  fur  and  feather  Ijcaring 
species.  Three  "Sweepstakes"  cups  were  ofi'ered 
by  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  in  addition  to  the  regular  rib- 
bons. The  first  of  these  cups  was  won  by  Fred 
Habel,  second  by  Charles  Smith  and  the  third  by 
W.  Bathrick. 

Among  the  best  specimens  shown  were: 

Emmett  Lott's  $150  pen  of  white  Wyandottes,  a 
fine  collection  of  Blue  Dutch  rabbits  and  English 
game  bantams,  some  of  these  being  winners  at  the 
last  Madison  Square  Garden  Show,  entered  by  W. 
Bathrick;  Charles  Smith's  wild  mallard  ducks  and 
Frank  Armstrong's  $.50  doe,  also  a  winner  at  the 
New  York  show  last  season.  A  large  exhibition 
of  canaries  was  entered  by  A.  W.  Wright  and  J. 
Jansen's  pen  of  excellent  white  Leghorns  was  given 
blue  ribbons.  In  the  canine  section,  Mrs.  Robert 
Caine's  Airedale  took  the  blue  ribbon  in  its  class 
as  also  did  F.  W.  Brown's  Chinese  and  Belgium 
poodles,  George  Fien's  Boston  terrier,  and  a 
French  bull  entered    by  J.  Compton.     One  other

entry  which  helped  to  make  the  exhibit  interesting 
was  a  pair  of  goats  by  F.  Ewell. 

At  the  close  of  the  Kodak  Park  show  the  entire 
exhibit  was  moved  to  Exposition  Park  to  compete  in 
the  Industrial  division  of  the  Flower  City  Show, 
being  awarded  the  Industrial  Cup  offered  by  the 
Flower  City  Poultry  Association. 

The  success  attained  by  the  Kodak  Park  Club 
during  the  past  year  is  very  gratifying,  and  every 
member  is  looking  forward  to  the  next  exliibition 
which  promises  to  surpass  even  the  show  of  1920.

GETTING  YOUR  PAY  ENVELOPE  TO  YOU 


Kodak  Park  is  a  large  and  growing  plant,  and  if 
it  is  to  remain  so,  v,e  must  ever  be  on  the  lookout 
for  improved  methods.  Therefore  any  system  that 
is  adequate  and  quite  satisfactory  today  may  be 
outgrown  and  impracticable  tomorrow,  for  change 
will  always  follow  close  on  the  heels  of  growth  and 
progress. 

We  have  seen  a  great  many  changes  at  Kodak 
Park  in  the  last  few  years.  And  the  gradual 
passing  of  the  old  Registration  Building — "as  she 
used  to  be" — we  mean,  is  one  that  has  escaped  none 
of  us;  for  didn't  we  get  our  introduction  to  Kodak 
Park  in  it — the  employment  offices,  the  hospital. 


ment's  electric  trucks  and  fastened  and  properly 
guarded.  The  truck  then  makes  a  regularly 
scheduled  trip  around  the  plant  and  delivers  the 
drawers,  which  are  covered  boxes  with  handles,  so 
they  can  conveniently  be  carried  when  taken  out 
of  the  cabinet,  to  the  different  pay  stations  where 
the  pay  clerk,  accompanied  by  a  guard,  meets  it  at 
the  entrance  to  the  building.  The  pay  clerk  is  then 
escorted  to  his  cage  by  the  guard  and  is  ready  to  pay 
off  when  the  whistle  blows. 

In  this  manner,  with  our  thirty-six  established 
pay  stations,  it  requires  an  average  of  but  four 
minutes  to  pay  off  the  plant. 


KODAK  PARK  PAY  TRUCK 


and  especially  the  long  row  of  time  card  and  clock 
racks,  their  regular  spacing  and  alignment,  for  all 
the  world  like  a  company  of  soldiers  ready  for 
inspection,  being  the  not-so-easily-forgotten  fixtures.'' 
And  then  didn't  a  peculiar  interest  always  center 
on  the  pay  cages  along  the  north  wall? 

But  look  at  it  today!  Large  metal  drums  are 
now  stored  there  which  hold  silent  vigil,  where 
formerly  the  thousands  hurried  daily  to  punch  the 
clock  and  where  again  they  waited  impatiently  on 
Saturday  for  their  pay  envelopes. 

This  decentralization  of  the  time  recording 
clocks,  that  is  moving  them  into  the  departments, 
l)rought  about  the  necessity  for  changing  the 
method  of  paying  off  and  the  pay  cage  very  shortly 
followed  the  time  clock  into  the  department,  and 
so  today,  with  but  few  exceptions,  everybody  is 
paid  off  in  his  or  her  department  with  no  trouble 
and  a  minimum  loss  of  time,  and  it  is  all  accom- 
plished in  this  way: 

The  pay  envelopes  are  arranged  in  the  Pay  Roll 
Department  according  to  departments  or  pay  sta- 
tions, as  the  case  may  be,  and  placed  in  a  covered 
drawer  of  a  steel  filing  cabinet  omnibus  which  is  also 
a  safe.  When  everything  is  ready,  the  omnibus  is 
rolled    onto    one    of    the    Transportation    Depart- 


KODAK  PARK  GIRLS  ALSO  AFTER 
CHAMPIONSHIP 

At  no  time  since  the  introduction  of  girls'  basket- 
ball at  Kodak  Park  have  we  had  a  team  to  compare 
with  theone  we  have  together  this  season.  Under  the 
able  coaching  of  Charlie  Thompson  and  Jack 
Brightman,  the  girls  have  developed  into  a  fast  and 
aggressive  combination  which  has  experienced  little 
difficulty  in  defeating  every  team  played  to  date. 
Harriett  Noble  of  Building  2G,  Captain  of  the  team, 
is  a  player  of  unusual  ability  and  her  work  at  center 
has  been  excellent.  Julia  Thayer  and  Louise  Single- 
ton, who  play  the  forwards,  are  both  fast,  and  have 
little  trouble  in  getting  away  from  the  opposing 
guards  for  several  baskets  each  game.  The  guard 
positions  are  well  taken  care  of  by  Elizabeth 
Fratter  and  Ethel  Stuck.  Ethel  Stuck  has  played 
on  the  team  for  several  seasons  and  is  the  best  all- 
round  guard  on  any  girls'  team  in  Rochester.  So  far 
the  girls  have  won  four  games  and  lost  none. 

Following  are  the  results  of  the  games  played:

BASKETB.\LL   WELL    UNDER    WAY— PARK 

TEAM  IL\S  WON  EVERY 

GAME  TO  DATE 

The  Kodak  Park  basketball  season  is  well  under 
way.  Starting  out  on  Thanksgiving  eve  with  a  win 
over  the  Xiagalks  of  Niagara  Falls,  the  team  pro- 
ceeded to  show  the  Kodak  fans  that  they  have  the 
goods  and  followed  this  victory  with  another,  when 
they  met  the  Washington  Excelsiors  on  December 
4th.  In  the  third  game  against  the  Big  Brothers  on 
the  11th,  whom  they  defeated  by  the  overwhelming 
.score  of  42  to  17,  the  boys  demonstrated  that  they 
are  ready  to  meet  the  best  teams  available,  and  from 
now  on  only  the  real  class  will  be  seen  on  the  Kodak 
court.  Manager  Goodridge  has  booked  our  old 
rivals,  the  Owasco  Canoe  Club,  and  has  also 
arranged  games  with  the  Tuscarora  Indians,  Todds, 
Perintons,  Lincolns,  Orioles  and  Bausch  &  Lomb. 
.\  series  will  be  played  with  the  last-named  to  de- 
termine the  city  Industrial  Championship,  and  at 
the  rate  which  our  team  is  going,  prospects  are 
most  encouraging. 

Kodak  Park  is  represented  on  the  court  this  sea- 
son by  the  best  team  we  have  had  in  several  years. 
Coach  Benzoni  has  had  a  fine  bunch  of  candidates 
to  pick  from  and  has  made  a  selection  which  will  be  a 
credit  to  the  Park.  Wilbur  Woodams,  former  U.  of 
R.  star,  who  is  playing  right  forward,  needs  no  in- 
troduction to  the  Kodak  fans.  It  is  sufficient  to  say 
that  he  is  the  same  "Wib"  as  of  old,  and  his  playing 
has  been  a  big  feature  in  our  success  to  date.  Oppo- 
site him  at  left  forward  is  Ralph  Tichenor  who. 
although  a  new  man  at  the  Park,  has  made  himself 
solid  by  his  excellent  floor  work  and  ability  to  score. 
"Tick"  has  had  the  experience  and  shows  it.  At 
center,  "Hash"  McNeill  is  playing  a  fine  game.  So 
far  he  has  not  had  a  real  tryout,  as  the  men  who 
have  opposed  him  in  the  games  played  have  been 
so  far  outclassed  that  he  has  not  been  called  upon 
to  exert  himself.  In  Cliff  Hegedorn,  former  State 
League  player,  we  have  a  guard  who  is  beyond  a 
doubt  the  best  in  this  part  of  the  State.  The  cool 
and  deliberate  manner  in  which  he  plays  his  position 
encourages  Kodak  in  her  race  for  the  championship. 
At  the  other  guard  we  have  "our  ovm  Rip"  Benzoni 
who  is  showing  his  usual  form  and  ability  as  a  coach 
and  a  leader.  Earl  Jones  and  Bob  Heaney,  two  of 
last  year's  men,  are  also  playing  and  doing  their 
share  to  put  Kodak  on  top.  Jack  Brightman, 
Kodak's  little  favorite,  is  having  his  best  year.  In 
the  Big  Brothers  game.  Jack  scored  13  points  in  the 
10  minutes  he  played.  Following  are  the  results  of 
the  games  played  to  date:

Although  Department  No.  50  was  not  repre- 
sented by  a  team  in  the  fall  .series  of  the  noon-hour 
league,  several  of  the  employees  played  with  the 
different  teams  in  the  outfit  and  showed  up  to  good 
advantage.  Particularly  "Rip"  Benzoni  who  played 
at  third,  .second  and  catcher  for  the  I/Cgion 
team.  If  raspberry  razz  will  grow  hair,  "Rip" 
will  be  eligible  for  the  "House  of  Davids"  next 
season.  "Silent"  John  Shepherd,  king  of  the 
"Razzers'  Roost,"  assisted  by  the  office  force,  was 
heard  to  advantage  every  day. 


"JACK  '  FREE  LEAVES  KODAK  PARK 

After  four  years  service  "Jack"  Free,  one  of  the 
popular  employees  of  the  Kodak  Park  Main  Office, 
left  to  take  a  position  with  the  H.  W.  Dubiske  Com- 
pany of  Chicago,  as  one  of  their  local  representatives. 


'J.\CK'-  FREE 

"Jack"  possessed  marked  ability  as  an  enter- 
tainer, and  was  reader  with  the  Kodak  Park  Glee 
Club  for  several  seasons.  He  has  appeared  in 
amateur  theatricals  about  town  during  the  past 
few  years  and  will  be  well  remembered  as  one  of  the 
principals  in  the  cast  of  "Kodaki  San,"  given  by  the 
Kodak  Park  employees  some  time  ago. 

His  many  friends  at  the  Park  wish  him  success  in 
his  new  venture. 


To  Frank  Clark,  Harry  Howell  and  Sydney 
Gosselin  the  employees  of  Department  50  wish  to 
extend  their  sympathy  in  their  recent  bereavements. 


Our  esteemed  fellow  worker,  Charles  Ballinger, 
of  the  D.  O.  P.  Ctg.  was  married  on  November  £4th, 
and  left  for  New  York  on  his  hone^^noon.  While  in 
the  "Big  City"  he  lost  his  -SI  1.00  velour  hat  from 
the  top  of  the  Fifth  .\ venue  bus.  Charles  hastily 
jumped  off,  leaving  his  new  bride  on  the  bus  and 
had  considerable  time  finding  her.  However, 
Charles  had  a  fine  time  and  is  back  on  the  job  at 
Building  35. 


The  marriage  has  been  announced  of  Gertrude  C. 
Wilson  of  the  Engineering  and  Maintenance  De- 
partment, and  William  E.  Hogan,  which  took  place 
on  Saturday  morning,  November  '•27.  1920,  in  Holy 
Cross  church,  Charlotte.  The  many  Kodak  Park 
friends  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hogan  extend  to  them  best 
wishes  for  their  happiness.

JAMES  DORAN 

On  Friday  morning,  December  10th,  James 
Doran  died  at  his  home,  1347  Dewey  Avenue,  after 
an  illness  of  only  a  few  days.  His  death  was 
directly  due  to  a  weak  heart  caused  by  septic 
poisoning  from  a  severe  case  of  tonsilitis  and  came 
as  a  great  surprise  to  all. 


JAMES  DORAN 

He  had  been  employed  in  the  E.  &  M.  Depart- 
ment at  Kodak  Park  over  a  period  of  about  ten 
years,  where  he  had  won  many  friends  through  his 
obliging  disposition  and  keen  wit.  We  unite  in 
expressing  to  his  surviving  relatives  the  most 
sincere  feeling  of  sympathy. 


W.  R.  Meckfessel,  Building  36  motor  enthusiast, 
has  had  all  makes  of  cars  from  a  Maxwell  to  a  twin 
Six  Packard,  but  last  of  all  he  has  been  seen  driving 
down  the  avenue  in  a  real  car.  He'd  like  to  call  it  a 
Rolls-Royce,  but  in  fact,  it's  only  another  member 
of  the  widely  knowai  Ford  family — ^a  coupe.  We 
trust  he  will  drive  with  caution,  so  as  not  to  exceed 
the  speed  limit  again. 


When  she  says,  "Your  number  please.''"  don't  be 
surprised  if  her  wonderfully  sweet  voice  reminds 
you  of  Galli-Curci,  for  it  may  be  either  Marjorie 
Snook  or  Loretta  Twamley,  formerly  of  the  Plate 
Department,  both  of  whom  are  now  duly  installed 
telephone  operators.  Our  best  wishes  are  w'ith 
them  in  their  new  work. 


At  a  dinner  given  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  C.  Sykes 
the  engagement  of  their  daughter  to  Ferre  Marzluff, 
Yard  OflBce,  was  announced. 


Bernice  Abert  of  the  Film  Spooling  and  Irving 
Luther  were  married  on  the  17th  of  November. 
We  extend  our  best  wishes  for  their  future  happiness. 


Lena  Burkard  of  the  Film  Spooling  was  married

THANKSGIVING  DANCE  ^^ERY  ENJOYABLE 

It  seems  a  whole  lot  to  say  that  the  Thanksgiving 
dance,  held  in  the  Kodak  Park  Assembly  Hall  on 
Friday  evening,  November  26th,  surpassed  the 
Masquerade  party  of  last  month,  but  nevertheless, 
this  is  true. 

To  begin  with,  the  decorations  were  elaborate 
and  very  beautiful.  Yards  of  crepe  paper  in  yellow 
and  white  appropriate  to  the  occasion  hung  from 
the  ceiling  and  around  the  walls,  with  paper  turkeys 
artistically  located  about  the  hall.  The  orchestra 
platform  was  also  decorated  in  harmony  with  the 
surroimdings.  The  design  was  originated  and  su- 
pervised by  Ben  MacMillan,  who  was  in  active 
charge  of  this  feature,  assisted  by  John  Brightman 
and  Susan  LaDine.  The  mrsic  was  furnished  by 
Damon's  orchestra,  personally  conducted  by  Fred 
Damon,  and  was  the  best  heard  at  Kodak  Park  for 
some  time. 

The  party  made  a  lasting  impression  on  tho.se  who 
attended.  These  were  Kodak  people  to  the  num- 
ber of  about  five  hundred,  including  a  large  repre- 
sentation of  the  officials  of  the  company. 

The  principal  aim  of  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  is  to  provide 
amusement  and  entertainment  for  its  members,  and 
their  friends,  and  it  is  great  to  see  so  many  of  them 
taking  advantage  of  the  opportunity  these  dances 
afford.  Dr.  Reid,  President  of  the  Association,  is 
intensely  interested  in  these  affairs  and  works  hard 
to  make  them  successful. 

A  novel  scheme  of  awarding  prizes  was  employed. 
Several  circles  were  painted  on  the  floor  in  different 
parts  of  the  hall,  these  being  numbered.  During 
the  dance  a  number  was  called  at  which  time 
everyone  stopped  dancing.  The  person  standing 
on  the  circle  corresponding  with  the  number 
called  was  awarded  a  two-pound  [box  of  candy. 
Five  prizes  were  awarded  in  all. 

A  very  pleasing  feature  of  the  partv  was  the  danc- 
ing exhibition  given  by  Norma  Zeiner  and  her 
partner  Fred  Eritli.  Miss  Zeiner  displayed  excep- 
tional talent  in  this  line,  and  her  number  was  very 
well  received  and  thoroughly  appreciated,  it  being 
necessary  for  her  to  re.spond  to  numerous  encores. 
Elizabeth  Stubbs  played  a  very  pleasing  piano  selec- 
tion, which  in  every  way  did  justice  to  her  reputa- 
tion as  an  accomplished  musician.  Three  solo 
numbers  were  rendered  by  Ben  MacMillan,  which 
made  a  tremendous  hit.  Ben  possesses  a  voice  of 
imusual  quality,  and  he  has  appeared  in  a  great 
many  of  the  activities  held  at  Kodak  Park  during 
the  past  two  years,  and  has  a  large  number  of  ad- 
mirers who  delight  in  hearing  him  sing. 

The  evening,  taken  as  a  whole,  was  greatly  en- 
joyed, and  expressions  of  satisfaction  were  heard 
from  all  quarters  on  the  day  following.

ST.  MARY'S  HOSPITAL  VISITED  BY  KODAK 
PARK  COMMITTEE 

As  a  committee,  selected  by  the  Kodak  Park 
Commimity  Chest  Executive  Committee,  we  visited 
St.  Mary's  Hospital  on  Wednesday,  December  1st. 

After  being  received  by  Sr.  Gertrude,  the  superin- 
tendent, who  expressed  her  pleasure  in  having  us 
\'isit  them,  we  were  conducted  through  the  institu- 
tion by  Sr.  ^Yilhelmina. 

St.  Mary's  Hospital  was  erected  in  1857,  and  has 
been  in  constant  operation  since  that  time.  Some 
additions  and  changes  have  been  made  since,  but 
the  general  construction  remains  practically  the 
same.  Excellent  foresight  in  the  original  layout 
of  the  building  is  very  evident.  The  equipment  is 
of  the  latest  and  best,  and  we  were  particularly  im- 
pressed with  the  excellent  and  complete  X-Ray 
outfit,  and  learned  with  pleasure  that  our  Duplitized 
X-Ray  film,  which  is  used  almost  entirely,  is  very 
popular  in  connection  with  this  work  at  this 
institution. 

The  rooms  are  light,  airy  and  cheerful,  and  every 
e\'idence  of  efficiency  is  noticeable  in  all  branches  of 
the  institution. 

We  are  pleased  that  we  were  afforded  the  privilege 
and  pleasure  of  this  visit  and  feel  that  this  is  one 
more  of  the  really  worthy  institutions  which  is 
benefited    through    the    Commimity   Chest 


being 
plan. 


THE  KODAK  PARK  CAMERA  CLUB 

L.  A.  Jones  of  the  Research  Laboratory  recently 
addressed  the  club  on  "The  Reproduction  of  Light 
and  Shade."  It  was  pointed  out  that  the  produc- 
tion of  a  picture  by  the  photographic  process  de- 
jjends  upon  the  reproduction  of  the  light  and  shade 
existing  in  the  subjects  photographed,  light  and 
shade  being  due  to  brightness  differences.  The.se 
brightness  difi'erences  are  due  to  two  factors,  the 
reflecting  power  of  the  various  objects  and  the 
illumination  incident  upon  them.  The  term  "tone" 
is  frequently  used  in  photography  to  express 
brightness  variations,  the  tone  scale  being  a  scale  of 
varying  brightnesses.  It  was  pointed  out  that  due 
to  variations  in  the  reflecting  power,  contrast  of 
approximately  1  to  40  may  be  obtained,  black 
velvet  having  a  reflecting  power  of  about  2*^,  while 
white  paper  reflects  80*^7  of  the  light  incident  upon 
it.  The  total  amount  of  light  reflected  by  any 
surface,  however,  depends  upon  the  amount  incident 
upon  it.  Therefore,  it  is  possible  to  have  contrast 
much  greater  than  1  to  -10  due  to  differences  in  the 
intensity  of  illumination.  Measurements  of  natural 
exterior  subjects,  however,  show  that  the  contrast 
of  1  to  50  may  be  considered  as  an  average,  although 
some  cases  are  foimd  where  the  contrast  is  as  great 
as  1  to  250.  The  term  "contrast"  as  used  in  this 
sense  is  defined  as  the  ratio  of  highest  to  the  lowest 
brightness.  The  subject  in  which  the  contrast  is  4 
is  considered  to  be  flat  or  of  low  contrast,  while  10  is 
a  moderate  or  soft  contrast,  40  is  a  normal  contrast 
and  250  a  very  high  or  extreme  contrast.  A  con- 
trast of  20  and  40  may  be  considered  as  tj^pical  of 
studio  subjects,  while  in  home  portraiture  the 
contrast  may  be  as  high  as  100.  The  photographic 
plate  is  capable  of  rendering  correctly  contrast  as 
great  as  250  so  that  it  is  quite  possible  in  the  nega- 
ti\  e  to  reproduce  precisely  the  tone  scale  of  practi- 
cally all  subjects.  Printing  papers,  however,  are 
found  to  have  much  less  capacity  for  the  correct 
reproduction  of  brightness  differences.  The  highest 
reflecting  power  may  be  taken  as  approximately 
80%,  while  a  good  photographic  black  reflects  from 
2  to  6%  depending  upon  the  surface  of  the  paper. 
It  will  be  seen,  therefore,  that  the  contrast  available 
in  the  print  will  vary  from  40  in  the  case  of  glossy 
paper  to  as  low  as  15  in  the  case  of  dull  matte 
surface  papers.  It  is  e\"ident,  therefore,  that  it  will 
be  impossible  to  reproduce  correctly  tone  scales 
greater  than  the  contrast  obtainable  with  the 
various  printing  papers. 

Mr.  Jones  treated  the  subject  with  simplicity  and 
in  detail.  The  talk  proved  very  interesting  and 
was  enjoyed  by  everyone. 

The  club  meets  Tuesday  from  6:00  P.  M.  to 
7:00  P.  M.,  in  the  Assembly  Hall.  Anyone  desiring

COM-NUTTEE  VISITS  INDUSTRIAL  SCHOOL 
AND  .JEWISH  SHELTERING  HOME 

On  Tuesday,  November  ICth.  we  had  the  pleasure 
of  v-isiting  the  Industrial  School  on  Exchange 
Street,  and  the  Jewish  Sheltering  Home  on  Gorham 
Street. 

Truly  a  great  work  is  being  done  at  the  Industrial 
School.  Here,  children  up  to  twelve  years  are  taken 
care  of  during  the  day,  their  health,  education  and 
happiness  looked  after  in  a  most  complete  manner, 
and  mothers  who  are  sick  or  who  must  go  to  busi- 
ness can  leave  them,  knowing  that  they  will 
receive  proper  care. 

We  were  received  and  conducted  through  the 
institution  by  Mrs.  C.  L.  Hanna,  Superintendent 
in  charge. 

The  majority  of  the  children  are  brought  in,  in 
the  morning,  by  their  parents  and  called  for  again 
at  night.  Kindergarten  and  first  grade  are  main- 
tained for  the  very  young,  the  older  ones  being 
taken  out  in  charge  of  the  niu-se  to  the  public 
school,  returning  for  a  hot  dinner  at  noon  and 
again  after  school  closes,  when  they  are  served  a 
lunch  and  taken  care  of  imtil  called  for. 

Everything  was  foimd  to  be  very  clean  and 
orderly,  the  children  well  provided  for  and  happy. 

A  charge  of  five  cents  a  day  is  made  for  each  child, 
which  is  used  towards  maintenance  of  the  institu- 
tion, the  balance  of  the  expenses  being  met  by  the 
Community   Chest   budget. 

In  ca.ses  where  the  mother  is  sick,  and  there  is  no 
one  to  look  after  the  children  properly,  they  are 
admitted  at  the  school  and  cared  for  day  and  night 
until  able  to  be  taken  home.  At  the  time  of  our 
visit,  there  were  fifteen  such  cases  receiving  atten- 
tion in  addition  to  eighty-five  day  children. 

At  the  Jewish  Sheltering  Home  we  found  that 
thirty-seven  hoys  and  fom-teen  girls  were  being 
cared  for  by  J.  S.  Hollander,  the  Superintendent. 
The  girls  were  under  the  personal  care  of  Mrs. 
Egbert. 

At  the  present  time  there  are  three  buildings 
recently  remodeled  and  redecorated,  in  use.  while 
a  fourth  building  to  be  used  for  infants  is  rapidly 
nearing  completion. 

A  very  homelike  atmosphere  existed  throughout 
the  entire  home  and  every  indication  pointed  to  a 
well  organized  and  efficient  organization. 

Mrs.  Egbert,  in  expressing  Mr.  Hollander's  senti- 
ments, stated  that  the  home  was  very  well  satisfied 
with  the  fair  treatment  it  was  receiving  from  the 
Community  Chest. 

We  repeat  the  ad\'ice  of  other  committees  which 
have  likewise  been  fortunate  in  ha^•ing  an  opportu- 
nity to  visit  and  see  for  themselves  the  new  work  in 
the  charitable  and  semi-charitable  organizations 
of  Rochester  through  the  Community  Chest.  We 
urge  also  that  more  people  take  advantage  of  the 
invitation  extended  to  the  public  in  general  to  \nsit 
such  institutions  and  see  for  themselves  the  earnest 
effort  which  is  being  made  to  accomplish  the 
maximum  amount  of  good  with  uniform  treatment

wTiting — singinga  good  song  around  a  table  equipped 
for  feasting!  At  least  that's  how  we  found  it  at  the 
first  Office  Men's  Banquet,  which  was  held  at  the 
Powers  Hotel  on  Wednesday,  December  1st. 

The  affair  was  quite  informal,  and  the  speakers 
were  warned  not  to  talk  "shop."  Almost  everyone 
spoke  who  wanted  to  (and  j)ossibly  some  who 
didn't)  and  it  was  a  splendid  little  "chummy"  get- 
together  affair.  The  general  chairman — Ernest 
White — captained  a  staff,  comprised  of  Harry  God- 
dard.  Herliert  Thorpe,  George  Whitcomb,  Roy 
Dodge.  Charles  Irwin  and  Frank  O'Brien.  The 
toastmaster  was  Harry  Spoor,  and  "many  a  jest 
and  quib  quoth  he!"  Meyer  Davis  sang  two  selec- 
tions. Billie  LawTence  featured  a  black-face  act. 
McClymont  and  Heggiedida  little  Scotch  turn,  and 
Herbert  Thorpe  sang  tenor  solos.  Everyone  sang 
popular  choru.ses  under  the  guidance  of  Henry  As- 
brand  and  the  "rafters  rang  with  melodee." 

The  l)oys  all  tru.st  that  the  afi'air  will  be  repeated 
next  vear. 


ARE  VOL    INVESTING? 

The  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Association  is  an- 
other of  the  many  oj)portunities  for  progress  which  is 
offered  to  Eastman  employees.  It  is  an  absolutely 
safe  investment  and  should  appeal  to  the  small  de- 
positor. In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  Association 
systematically  handles  weekly  deposits,  the  accumu- 
lation of  which  bears  certain  interest,  the  projjosi- 
tion  is  attractive  especially  in  these  post-war  days 
of  "Bubble"  investments.  The  prime  object  of  the 
Association  is  to  encourage  thrift  by  way  of  invest- 
ing a  stated  sum  each  week  from  your  earnings  which 
can  be  set  aside  either  as  an  investment  in  the  Asso- 
ciation, or  for  the  purpose  of  buying  a  home.  Every 
man — or  woman — realizes  the  economic  security  of 
possessing  a  dwelling  place,  and  here  is  an  oppor- 
tunity to  secure  an  unbiased  opinion  on  real  estate. 
The  Legal  Department  is  co-operating,  and  invest- 
ments of  land  property  are  carefullv  investigated 
before  you  are  ad\nsed  to  purchase. 

If  you  do  not  thoroughly  understand  the  details 
of  the  Association,  you  are  invited  to  apply  for  in- 
formation to  the  Industrial  Relations  Department. 
Yo>ir  problem  will  ])e  treated  strictly  confidential, 
and  every  eftort  will  be  made  to  acquaint  you  with 
this  top-notch  ojiportunity. 


The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Recreation  Clul) 
meets  the  first  and  third  Wednesday  in  each 
month,  when  it  considers  any  new  scheme  or  proj- 
ect which  will  enhance  its  popularity  in  the  factory 
and  in  the  community.  The  club  welcomes  sug- 
gestions from  its  2400  members.  Won't  you  do

"TWO  HEADS  ARE  BETTER  THAN  ONE" 


We  all  have  our  own  opinions.  One  of  the  char- 
acteristics of  an  American  citizen,  viewed  from  a 
foreigner's  eye,  is  the  fact  that  everyone  appears  to 
think  for  himself,  in  preference  to  the  slipshod 
method  of  letting  the  other  fellow  do  the  thinking. 
This  trait  is  a  fine  thing  to  possess,  provided  we  are 
open-minded  enough  to  view  things  from  the  other 
fellow's  standpoint,  lief  ore  coming  to  a  final  conclu- 
sion. 

This  is  a  busy  old  world.  We  haven't  much  time 
to  dive  into  affairs  outside  of  our  own  business.  After 
the  whistle  blows,  we  are  glad  enough  to  snuggle 
down  in  an  armchair,  light  up  the  old  briar  pipe, 
and  call  it  a  day's  work. 

In  view  of  this  fact,  we  cannot  logically  come  to  a 
conclusion  until  we  have  considered  what  the  other 
fellow  says,  can  we.^  None  of  us  are  specialists  out- 
side of  our  own  line  of  work,  so  how  can  we  form  a 
real  opinion  of  an  affair  of  which  we  have  only  time 
to  skim  the  surface.^ 

Let's  get  down  to  brass  tacks  and  cite  an  example. 
How  about  the  Community  Chest?  I  confess  that 
/  have  never  given  the  matter  any  deep  thought, 
have  you?  When  the  "Drive"  came  last  May,  some 
of  us  passed  it  up,  some  of  us  gave  as  little  as  we 
could,  some  of  us  thought  of  a  round  figiu-e,  and 
wrote  it  on  the  pledge  card,  and — hardly  one  of  us 
considered  what  we  were  doing,  and  why  I 

Possibly  we  did  not  have  time  to  think,  being  too 
blamed  busy  with  our  regular  job,  or  possibly  we 
were  opposed  to  anyone  trying  to  tell  us  when  we 
should  dole  out  "widow's  mite,"  or  possibly  we  had 
heard  of  someone  at  one  time  or  another  having  to 
pay  a  big  hospital  bill.  Anyway,  the  fact  remains 
that  all  of  us  do  7iot  know  why  it  has  become  neces- 
sary for  such  a  fund  as  the  Community  Chest  to 
exist,  and,  even  if  we  do,  we  do  not  know  much  about 
the  institutions  the  fund  supports. 

You  heard  of  the  various  committees  formed  for 
the  purpose  of  telling  us  their  opinions  of  the  insti- 
tutions. Their  reports  are  a  revelation !  Read  what 
our  own  "buddies"  say  about  it,  and  then  ask  them 
why  they  are  boosting  the  idea  of  organized  charity.

These  are  only  a  few  comments  from  the  visita- 
tions to  the  forty-one  institutions  ^^sited  by  two 
hundred  twenty-five  of  our  partners.  Isn't  the  other 
fellow's  opinion  worth  while?  Now  we  know  what 
he  thinks  about  it.  Let  us  think  for  ourselves,  and, 
perhaps  some  of  us  will  have  to  revise  our  previous 
decisions  on  the  Community  Chest,  and  its  necessity 
for  everyone's  well-being. 


November  23,  1920. 

Chicago,  111. 
To  the  Dear  Old  Camera  Works : 

Although  we  are  many  miles  apart  it  does  not 
keep  my  thoughts  from  the  Dear  Old  Camera 
Works  of  Rochester,  N.  Y. 

And  I  am  thinking  of  you  every  day  and  wishing 
you  were  here  to  talk  our  dear  old  times  over  once 
again  this  year. 

And  I  knew  I  would  feel  better  if  I  had  a  line  or 
two.  And  I  will  write  you  all  a  letter  soon  now  and 
tell  you  all  the  news  and  some  surprises  I  had  when 
I  came  here  to  work. 

Please  excuse  my  delay  as  my  Mother  has  been 
very  ill  for  weeks  and  is  just  improving  now  but 
slowly. 

Wishing  You  All  A  Very  Happy  New  Year. 
Respectfully  yours, 

Henrietta  A.  Aiken. 

(Formerly  of  Lens  Dept.) 


Have  you  ever  noticed  the  smile  that  George 
Krembel  carries  with  him.^  George  seems  to  be

home.    Congratulations,  George. 


The  "Jolly  Set"  from  the  office  held  a  little  gath-

things  to  eat.  Harry  Rutan  covddn't  keep  away

PLAYMATES-  GUESS  WHO? 


The  Frank  D.  "Ace"  Guillod  Post  of  the  American 
Legion  held  its  final  meeting  of  the  year  on  Fri- 
day, December  10th,  at  the  New  York  Armory.  The 
principal  object  of  the  meeting  was  to  elect  a  com- 
mittee for  nominating  officers  for  the  coming  year. 
Plans  were  discussed  relative  to  the  dance  which  is 
to  be  held  on  Valentine's  Day.  February  14th.  It 
was  decided  to  pay  a  small  salary  to  the  secretary 
and  treasurer. 

Plans  for  the  Post  Banquet  are  being  made,  the 
event  being  scheduled  for  January. 

Dues  for  the  coming  year — 1921 — are  now  pay- 
able to  Thomas  Ainsley,  Shutter  Room;  Willard  J. 
Lambert,  Kodak  Assembling  or  Roman  Meyers,  7th 
floor  office. 

All  Kodak  men  who  were  in  the  service  are  eligible 
for  membership  in  the  Guillod  Post  and  any  of  the 
three  men  mentioned  above  will  be  more  than  glad 
to  receive  applications  for  membership. 


The  boys  of  the  Milling  Department — at  least  the 
single  ones — are  evidently  jealous  of  Jack  Moffat, 
who  married  Loretta  Martin  of  the  Tool  Vault,  on 
November  25th.  Whether  Jack  gets  jealous  or  not. 
this  is  what  the  boys  say:  "Loretta  is  one  of  those 
yoimg  ladies  who  can  make  the  dullest  day  seem 
bright."     The  happy  couple  have  our  best  wishes. 


Frank  M.  Page,  who  has  been  the  Camera  Works' 
Chief  Accoimtant  for  many  years,  has  left  us  to 
take  a  position  at  the  Main  Office.  Mr.  Page  was  a 
favorite  with  the  ofiSce  force,  having  worked  witli 
them  for  nineteen  years. 

The  employees  of  the  Inventory.  Payroll  and  Cost 
Departments  assembled  in  the  committee  room  for 
the  purpose  of  wishing  Frank  all  kinds  of  good  luck, 
and  incidentally  to  present  him  with  a  traveling  bag 
as  a  mark  of  their  appreciation.  The  presentation 
speech  was  made  by  William  Lawrence  on  behalf 
of  the  above  mentioned  departments. 


Myron  J.  Hayes  has  succeeded  Frank  Page  as 
Chief  Accountant  and  Irwin  Briggs  has  been 
appointed  as  his  assistant.  We  are  always  glad  to 
print  news  of  promotions,  and  while  we  are  on  the 
subject,  we  might  mention  that  James  Wright  is 
now  foreman  of  the  Cost  Department  and  James 
McClymont  is  his  assistant.  To  all  of  these  well- 
known  figures  we  offer  our  hearty  co-operation,  and 
good  luck  to  them  all.

EDITH  POCOCKE  AND  FAMILY 

Some  of  us  who  have  been  with  the  company  for 
ten  years  will  remember  Edith  Pococke,  who  was 
forewoman  in  the  Lacquer  Department  at  that 
time.  Her  husband,  Charles  R.  Chatfield,  works  with 
the  millwrights,  and  her  brother  is  one  of  our  tool 
makers.  We  are  glad  to  publish  the  above  picture, 
for  it  is  always  a  scource  of  pleasure  to  hear  from 
employees  whom  we  knew  years  ago,  especially  if 
the  evidence  registers  such  a  charming  trio  of  chil- 
dren. 


Charles  Jackson,  who  for  years  has  worked  in  the 
Kodak  Assembling  Department,  has  been  ill  for 
some  weeks  at  his  home  on  Warwick  Avenue.  The 
latest  reports  tell  that  Charlie  is  slightly  improved, 
and  his  many  friends  wish  him  speedy  recovery. 


Tom  Downs,  sub-foreman  in  Kodak  6th,  is  to 
be  congratulated  on  an  increase  in  his  family,  the 
new  arrival  being  a  bonny  little  girl. 


Walter  Scott  of  the  Tool  Room  has  sold  his  alarm 
clock  because  he  has  a  9>^  lb.  baby  girl  to  wake  him 
up  in  the  morning — and  sometimes  during  the  night. 
Hurrah  for  "Scottie!" 


George  Kraft  of  the  Inspection  Department  has 
been  on  the  sick  list  for  some  time.  We're  glad  to 
hear  that  he  is  recovering  his  health  and  will  be  with 
us  again  in  the  near  future. 

BobCheesman  and  Biu"dettEdgett  went  on  a  very 
successful  hunting  trip  recently,  and  bagged  every- 
thing the  law  allows.  "Edgy's"  friend,  Al  Glea.son, 
who  is  an  expert  in  finding  the  hiding  place  of 
pheasants,  did  not  accompany  the  boys  this  time, 
which  made  their  success  all  the  more  gratifying. 


Charlie  Houck,  the  genial  foreman  of  the  Inspec- 
tion Department,  is  risking  his  fortune  in  onions. 
These  are  strong  indications  of  his  cornering  the 
market.

lations, Carl. 


MANY  CAMERA  WORKERS  AT  SAFETY 
CONGRESS 

The  Fifth  Annual  State  Safety  Convention  at 
SjTacuse,  held  from  December  Cth  to  10th,  was  an 
important  event.  Experts  on  safety  discussed  and 
suggested  new  ideas  and  appliances,  the  application 
of  which  is  necessary  to  the  modern  industrial  world. 
The  Camera  Works,  always  foremost  in  adopting 
new  ideas  for  the  safety  of  its  employees,  was  well 
represented  at  the  congress.  The  management  sent 
the  following  people: 

Lutie  Hondorf,  Richard  Jennings,  Frank  O'Brien, 
Sam  Barons,  Tom  Allen,  James  McCiary,  Arthur 
Wygant,  Herbert  Fry,  Earl  Carson,  William  Watts, 
Walter  May.  Edward  Freislich,  George  Perry, 
lioland  McDonald,  (ieorge  Helbing. 

The  reports  from  these  delegates  will  make  inter- 
esting reading,  and  we  hope  to  pubKsh  in  the  next 
issue  the  salient  points  regarding  safety  as  seen  by 
our  representatives.

AVc  wonder  liow  George  Le  Froi.s  is  jji-ogressing 
with  his  poultry  farm?  George  started  it  early  last 
year,  and  figured  a  large  profit  from  eggs  in  the  fall. 
George  can  imdoubtedly  assemble  roll  holders,  but 
when  it  comes  to  poultry,  things  do  not  work  out 
just  as  he  would  like  them  to  do.  Cheer  up,  spring 
is  coming. 

The  boys  of  the  Detail  and  Estimate  Department 
are  closely  watching  their  confrere.  Harry  Spoor,  for 
a  chance  to  get  in  on  the  ground  floor  of  Harry's  new 
invention.  It  may  be  a  secret,  but  it's  an  Editor's 
privilege  to  scoop  up  news,  so  here  goes! 

Spoor  has  in\entetl  a  brand  new  incubator.  You 
place  all  the  stubs  from  your  street  car  tickets  in  the 
incubator,  and  in  ten  days  you  will  have  full-grown 
street  car  tickets.    Save  vour  stubs. 


It's  hard  to  get  away  from  our  (iardening  Associa- 
tion even  in  midwinter!  Four  of  our  most  enthusias- 
tic members  were  presented  witli  prizes  at  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  last  month  for  well  kept  and  pro- 
ductive gardens.  The  neighbors  can't  beat  our 
champion.  Frank  O'Grady  of  Queens  Street,  who  was 
awarded  first  prize  in  the  sixth  district.  James  Wal- 
lace of  Flower  City  Park  was  awarded  first  prize  in 
the  eleventh  district,  and  Irvin  G.  Harroun,  of 
Chandler  Street,  captured  third  prize  in  the  nine- 
teenth district.     Congratulations  to  them  all. 


Amelia  Beerschmitt  of  the  Brownie  Department  is 
now  Mrs.  Leib,  and  Mable  Hall  has  changed  her 
name  to  Mrs.  \'an  Roo.     Best  wishes. 


The  lady  on  the  right  of  this  picture  is  the  wife  of 
William  Decker  of  the  Tool  Room,  and  little  Mar- 
garet is  their  daughter.  Four  generations  are  depict- 
ed in  the  photograph  and  it  is  a  hard  matter  to  say 
which  of  the  four  looks  the  healthiest. 


Clarence  Steegar,  formerly  on  the  elevators,  and 
GilVjert  Roberts  of  the  Screw  Machine  Department 
are  both  recovering  very  nicely.  They  are  recu- 
perating in  the  Adirondacks  and  we  hope  to  see  them 
fully  recovered  in  health  and  working  with  us  again. 


One  of  the  most  debated  questions  of  legislation  is 
the  so-called  "Daylight  Saving  Bill."  It  is  a

We  are  sorry  to  inform  our  readers  that  Louis  A. 
Bowllan  will  be  absent  from  duty  for  at  least  three 
months.  Most  of  us  know  that  Louis  is  the  man 
that  handles  the  payroll  for  the  entire  factory  and 
although  all  of  us  do  not  see  him  he  is  one  of  the  bus- 
iest men  in  the  building.  Louis  is  suffering  from  a 
run-down  condition  and  we  trust  that  even  before 
his  leave  of  absence  expires  he  will  be  with  us  again. 

The  boys  in  the  office  expressed  their  regret  by 
presenting  Louis  with  a  comfortable  smoking  jacket. 


The  great  conundrum  confronting  the  office  boys 
after  the  night  of  the  banquet  was  why  Florian 
Schueler  was  absent  from  the  festivities.  The  answer 
is — Mildred  Anna.  Who  is  she.^  Why — the  latest 
addition  to  the  Schueler  familJ^  We  don't  blame 
Florian  for  missing  the  banquet  but  he'll  have  to 
attend  twice  next  year  to  make  up  for  it. 


STORY  OF  A  DOOR 

PUSH— PULL. 

Have  you  noticed  this  sign  on  a  door.^ 

It  looks  important,  doesn't  it.-* 

Sort  of  gives  you  the  impression  of  authority. 

The  word  PL'SH  confronts  you  on  entering,  and 
when  you  get  on  the  other  side  it's  PULL. 

Funny  how  commonplace  things  fit  into  apple- 
pie  order,  isn't  it? 

Ever  heard  that  John  So-and-so  must  have  had 
a  pull  to  get  his  particular  job? 

According  to  the  signs  on  the  door,  John  must, 
in  some  manner,  have  worked  from  the  inside,  and 
is  trying  to  get  out! 

First,  you  must  PUSH.  The  PULL  comes  after- 
wards. 

Didn't  imagine  there  was  a  sermonette  on  such  a 
thing  as  a  door,  did  vou?     Think  it  over!

The  Folmer-Century  Bowling  League  is  well 
under  way.  The  Studio  team  is  now  in  first  place 
by  a  margin  of  two  games  with  the  Cirkut  Outfit 
running  a  strong  second.  The  teams  are  all  showing 
good  form  with  the  exception  of  the  Auto  Jr.  which 
has  been  on  a  slump,  but  with  the  aid  of  a  few  good 
bowlers  who  have  recently  come  to  our  plant  they 
will  soon  be  in  the  race  again.  The  high  average  man 
to  date  is  Weinman  of  the  Metal  Department,  with 
an  average  of  171.  The  high  individual  game  rolled 
so  far  this  season  goes  to  Al  Fleming  of  the  Assem- 
bling, with  a  score  of  232.  Weinman  of  the  Metal 
Department  has  the  High  Individual  Average  for 
three  games  609.  The  team  with  the  highest  score 
for  three  consecutive  games  is  the  Aero  with  2.381.

WHAT  DOES  THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE  MEAN  TO  ME  ? 


We  have  arranged  a  contest  in  which  you  may  all 
participate.  Of  course,  we  all  have  a  somewhat 
general  idea  of  what  the  Kodak  Magazine  means  to 
each  one  of  us  individually,  but  perhaps  the  most 
of  us  will  find  it  difficult  to  give  the  real  reason  why. 
Just  to  see  how  many  think  they  can  give  a  good 
answer  to  this  question,  we  will  give  three  prizes: 
ten  dollars  for  the  first,  six  dollars  for  the  second  and 
three  dollars  for  the  third  best  essay  on  "Wiat  does 
the  Kodak  Magazine  Mean  to  Me?"  Everyone  in 
the  works  is  welcome  to  send  in  his  or  her  answer. 
Of  coiu-se  you  don't  have  to  be  a  college  graduate  or 
a  writer  of  fiction  to  enter  this  contest,  as  these 
es.says  will  be  judged  from  their  merit  and  not  from 
an  artistic  use  of  words,  an  ornamental  penman  or  a 
student  of  the  dictionary. 

This  contest  opens  now  and  closes  Thiu-sday, 
March  31st.  Three  judges  will  be  selected  by  the 
Works  Manager.  Use  about  150  words.  Write  on 
one  side  of  the  paper.  Sign  yoiu-  name  in  the  left- 
hand  corner  of  your  manuscript,  giving  your  check 
number  and  the  department  in  which  you  work. 
Leave  a  space  immediately  below  your  name  so  that 
we  can  number  your  article  and  cut  your  name  off, 
as  we  do  not  want  even  the  judges  to  know  whose 
article  they  are  reading  and  judging  on. 


Now,  folks,  come  on,  get  in  with  the  rest  of  us  and 
send  in  yoiu-  essays  I  We  will  publish  the  three  best 
and  the  pictures  of  the  prize  winners.  Send  all 
essays  to  the  Plant  Editor,  and  be  sure  that  you 
sign  your  name. 


You're  always  in  business  for  yourself.    It  might 
pay  you  to  give  the  boss  a  bargain  now  and  then. 


SHOP  SAFETY  COMMITTEE 

We  have  a  few  new  faces  on  our  Shop  Safet\-  Com- 
mittee who  will  work  on  this  group  for  the  first  six 
months  of  19'-21.  You  will  note  we  have  included 
women  in  our  selection  for.  now  that  they  have  the 
right  of  vote,  they  should  be  given  some  considera-

Department  and  Henry  Ruckdeschel  of  the  Press 
Department  are  the  newcomers  who  will  work  with 
Clyde  Foster  and  Louis  C.  Wheeler  on  this  Com- 
mittee. These  employees,  along  with  a  number  of 
others,  have  enrolled  in  the  Safety  School  which  is

of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  every  Friday  night

ACCIDENTS 


The  year  19:20  shows  a  great  reduction  iu  accidents 
for  the  plant.  This  fact,  we  are  glad  to  learn,  for 
it  not  only  shows  a  tendency  on  the  part  of  the 
workers  to  be  more  cautious  in  their  movements, 
but  on  the  other  hand,  the  workers  realize  a  saving 
of  himdreds  of  dollars  which  heretofore  was  lost  to 
them  on  account  of  time  lost,  which  naturally  fol- 
lows the  occurrence  of  an  accident.  Out  of  a  total 
of  eight  accidents  for  the  entire  year,  three  w"ere 
classed  as  "serious"  and  the  remaining  five  as  minor 
accidents.  This  is  a  splendid  record,  and  every 
worker  should  feel  justly  proud  to  think  that  he 
or  she,  as  one,  helped  to  complete  twelve  months 
wnth  so  few  accidents.  Now  let  us  include  in  our 
New  Year's  Resolutions  that  we  will  not  have  a 
single  accident  in  1921.  In  order  to  make  this  a 
success,  it  will  be  necessary  to  have  the  full  co- 
operation of  all  Premo  workers,  and  if  each  one  does 
his  duty,  we  believe  that  the  accident  per  cent,  can 
be  greatly  reduced  in  1921.  With  our  working 
force  about  equally  divided  and  a  number  of  women 
operators  on  machines,  it  is  quite  noticeable  that  w"e 
did  not  have  one  serious  accident  among  the  latter. 
This,  we  believe,  is  due  to  education  along  safety 
lines,  as  one  of  the  first  lessons  of  persons  seeking 
emplojTnent  is  a  sign  in  the  Employment  Depart- 
ment which  reads,  "Unless  you  are  willing  to  be 
careful  to  avoid  injury  to  yourself  and  fellow  workers, 
do  not  ask  for  employment.  We  do  not  want  care- 
less people  in  our  employ."     One  of  the  outstand- 


A  SERIOUS  ACCIDENT 

A  few  years  ago  we  had  a  man  workmg  for  us  who. 
in  moving  a  box  of  work,  in  some  manner  scratched 
his  finger.  This  was  a  very  slight  scratch,  but 
infection  set  in  and  as  a  result  the  man  was  laid 
up  and  has  not  worked  since.  This  man  did  not 
report  his  injiu-y  to  his  foreman.  If  he  had  done  so, 
there  would  have  been  a  chance  of  warding  off  blood 
poisoning,  which  would  have  saved  him  all  this  lost 
time.  We  mention  this  case  because  it  has  brought 
to  us  the  importance  of  taking  care  of  every  small 
scratch  or  injury  at  once. 


We  supply  goggles  for  all  emery  wheel  or  other 
hazardous  work  where  the  eye  is  in  danger.  Wear 
them,  they  will  protect  your  eyes. 


In  case  of  an  employee  fainting  or  getting  seriously 
hurt,  pull  the  whistle  in  building  two,  your  level. 
This  will  insure  the  patient  arriving  in  the  emergency 
hospital  in  less  than  three  minutes.

ing  features  of  our  accident  report  is  that  62^ 
per  cent,  of  all  of  our  serious  accidents  were  due 
to  pure  carelessness  on  the  part  of  the  employees.

The  first  aid  treatment  by  the  Emergency 
Hospital  for  the  year  ending  December  31,  1920, 
shows  1090  treatments  given,  751  to  men  and  339 
to  women.  We  believe  the  most  of  our  employees 
realize  the  value  of  immediate  attention  to  small 
injuries  or  cuts,  as  we  have  not  had  a  single  serious 
infection  during  the  year.  This  is  due  to  your 
splendid  co-operation  on  reporting  to  the  first  aid 
room  where  you  find  the  nurse  ready  to  give  advice 
or  to  dress  injuries  of  any  kind.  We  are  proud  of 
this  record  at  the  Premo,  but  hope  we  can  do  better 
this  vear. 


A  SPLENDID  PRACTICE 

In  talking  to  a  "Daddy"  the  other  day,  our  con- 
versation drifted  to  Safety  First  in  the  home.  He 
told  us  that,  whenever  he  read  in  the  daily  paper  of  a 
child  getting  hurt,  out  would  come  his  pencil  and  he 
would  draw  a  line  aroimd  the  article.  After  he  was 
through  reading,  he  would  hand  the  paper  to  his 
children  and  tell  them  to  look  for  the  mark.  Their 
curiosity  was  immediately  aroused  and  a  splendid 
message  on  Safetv  First  was  instilled  in  their  minds. 
Trv  it^ 


A  PRECAUTION 

It  is  the  desire  of  the  company  to  assist  every  em- 
ployee to  keep  well.  Your  health  is  absolutely 
necessary.  You  should  take  plenty  of  exercise, 
see  that  at  least  one  \\indow  is  open  in  your  sleeping 
room,  get  eight  hours  of  sleep,  and  eat  wholesome 
food.  If  at  any  time  you  don't  feel  well,  call  at  the 
Medical  Department  for  consultation.  The  advice 
mav  save  you  considerable  lost  time.

ANOTHER  BIG  NIGHT  AT  PREMO 


If  there  is  a  single  ounce  of  truth  in  the  old  adage 
"Laugh  and  Grow  Fat,'"  Thursday  evening,  De- 
cember 2nd,  is  to  be  a  memorable  day,  for,  on  that 
date,  another  of  the  big  shows  was  put  on  by  the 
Premo  Club  in  the  Club  Room.  \\e  believe  that 
every  employee  who  took  part  in  this  show,  and  the 
audience  as  well,  should  weigh  at  least  200  pounds 
or  as  much  as  one  of  the  actresses,  Bridget  Murphy, 
for  when  it  conies  to  entertaining  with  fun  and 
frolic,  our  employees  have  no  apologies  to  make.  A 
number  of  the  "Premoers"  had  notice  served  on 
them  that  within  ten  days  they  were  to  stage  a  play 
entitled  "The  District  School  at  Blueberry  Corners," 
and  with  this  short  notice,  every  one  who  took  part 
is  to  be  commended  on  the  splendid  way  in  which  he 
handled  his  part  in  the  show.  It  is  very  apparent 
that  the  employees  prefer  home  talent  as  standing 
room  only  was  available  after  8:15,  some  late  comers 
being  turned  away  (perhaps  the  manager  will  give 
us  a  larger  space  on  completion  of  the  new  building). 
The  program  opened  at  8:1.5  with  a  selection  by  the 
Premo  Orchestra,  after  which  A.  A.  Ruttan  gave  an 
interesting  talk  on  "Why  it  is  Important  That  Each 
Employee  Should  Endeavor  to  Work  the  Full 
Forty-Eight  Hours  and  not  Come  Late."  This  was 
illustrated  with  lantern  slides  throwii  on  the  screen, 
each  slide  being  explained  in  full,  as  for  example: 
definitions,  labor  equals  wages;  material  equals 
raw  stock  and  burden  equals  overhead.  Labor  is 
direct  when  charged  to  a  particular  product  and 
indirect  when  charged  to  a  burden  account;  ma- 
terials are  direct  when  charged  to  a  particular 
product,  indirect  when  charged  to  a  biu-den  accoimt; 
burden  is  made  up  of  every  charge  that  is  not 
charged  direct  to  a  product,  such  as  indirect  labor 
or  material  insurance,  taxes,  power,  heat,  light, 
machines,  benches  and  equipment  of  all  kinds. 
Cost  is  determined  by  adding  together  all  items  of 
labor,  material  and  bmden.  In  his  comparison  of 
workers,  Mr.  Ruttan  said  that  two  fast  workers  are 
equal  to  three  slow  workers.  Only  two  sets  of 
equipment  are  necessary  to  buy  and  keep  up  instead 
of  three,  and  likewise  when  a  worker  lays  off,  all 
expenses  keep  on  just  the  same,  thus  being  a  loss  to 
the  company  as  well  as  to  the  employee.  In 
October,  twelve  out  of  every  hundred  employees 
at  the  Premo  were  absent  from  work  for  one  reason 
or  another,  and  the  equipment  provided  was  not 


used.  The  comjiarison  at  the  other  plants  was  as 
follows:  Folmer-Century — six,  Hawk-Eye  Works 
— seven  and  a  quarter,  Camera  Works — eight  and 
one-half,  Kodak  Park — nine.  Important  mention 
should  be  made  that  we  had  fifty-nine  employees, 
who,  during  the  same  month  were  not  away  from 
work  a  minute  or  were  not  late.  This  equals  seven 
per  hundred.  The  names  of  these  employees  follow :

After  Mr.  Ruttan's  talk,  the  curtain  was  raised 
and  foimd  the  stage  set  picturing  a  room  in  the 
District  School  at  Blueberry  Corners,  with  the 
School  Committee  in  session,  reading  over  the  cor- 
respondence received  from  an  advertisement  for  a 
teacher.  After  sending  for  a  few,  the  difEcidt  task 
of  selecting  a  teacher  was  at  hand.  After  interview- 
ing Miss  Dashaway  (Jessie  Wright),  Miss  Belinda 
Sharp  (Irene  Wilt),  Miss  Simple  (Thelma  Osborne), 
Miss  Smart  (Anna  Kehoe),  the  latter  was  engaged 
for  the  task  of  teaching.  The  first  roll  call  found 
the  following  scholars  in  attendance: 

Faithful  Snook  (Alice  Armstrong),  Silas  Horncake 
(Claude  Burnettj.  Matilda  Billings  (Agnes  Duffy). 
Mehitable  Jones  (Luella  Wright),  Samantha  Piper

(Charles  Loock).  Susan  Crofoot  (Leora  Yoimghans), 
Tony  Pasqualla  (Charles  Gauch),IsadoreFitzpatrick

It  is  apparent  that  this  plant  is  well  supplied  with 
real  entertainers. 


RALPH  HUTCHINGS  SPEAKS  AT  SYRACUSE 


Rali)li  K.  Hutchings,  foreman  of  the  Plating 
Department,  acce])ted  an  invitation  from  the  In- 
dustrial Safety  Congress  of  New  York  State,  to 
speak  at  the  Convention  held  in  Syracuse.  New 
York,  on  December  9th.  It  being  almost  impos- 
sible to  get  a  foreman  to  get  up  and  give  his  views 
on  this  subject,  Riilph  accepted  this  as  a  challenge 
and  opened  the  discussion  as  a  foreman,  taking  for 
his  topic,  "IIow  I  Try  to  Make  Safety  Work  Suc- 
cessful." lie  said  in  part.  "S{)eaking  in  pul)lic  by 
the  foreman,  especially  before  the  managers  of  tliis 
great  work,  is  new  to  all  of  us,  but  we  feel  that  it  is 
a  work  we  all  must  assume  and  the  sooner  we  break 
the  wall  we  have  held  before  us  as  a  i)arrier  and 
give  those  we  represent  a  chance  to  see  just  how 
well  their  confidence  has  been  placed,  the  more 
satisfying  our  work  will  be  to  them  and  ourselves  as 


well.  A  foreman  must  serve  the  management  and 
the  employees  that  he  represents  and  without  the 
hearty  co-operation  of  the  employees  as  well  as 
the  management,  his  work  will  not  be  a  success." 

Ralph  did  credit  to  the  foremen  in  his  talk,  and 
we  believe  the  last  few  lines  of  his  subject  are  the 
real  secret  to  the  success  of  this  movement  and  that 
we  must  lune  the  co-operation  of  the  employees  as 
well  as  the  management. 


Prize  winners  at  the  November  Progressive  Pedro 
parties  held  in  the  Premo  Club  room  were  as  follows: 
Ladies  first.  Mrs.  R.  K.  Hutchings;  second,  Emma

WlLLlAiM    11.   Kl  SSELL   OF    THE    PLATING 
DEPARTMENT 

William  was  employed  February  13,  1912,  as  a 
buffer  and  polisher  and  has  advanced  step  by  step 
until  now  he  is  Assistant  Foreman.  He  says  there 
is  no  truth  in  the  old  adage  of  "being  out  of  luck 
by  walking  under  a  ladder,"  starting  to  work  on  the 
13th,  or  having  a  lilack  cat  cross  your  path.  He 
has  passed  through  all  these  and  is  still  going,  his 
latest  experience  being  that  of  having  the  em- 
ployees come  out  and  assist  him  to  build  a  home. 
He  throws  these  suspicions  to  the  four  winds,  and 
the  following  letter  is  self-explanatory:  "I  want  to 
take  this  opportunity  to  thank  every  fellow  worker 
who  assisted  in  putting  tlie  cover  over  our  heads  by 
helping  to  build  our  home.  A  spirit  of  sacrifice 
and  willingness  to  help  a  fellow  worker  in  an 
emergency  like  this  is  wonderful.  I  cannot  tell  you 
how  my  heart  warmed  when  I  was  told  that  you  boys 
and  girls  were  coming  out  to  help  us.  It  is  little 
things  like  this  that  make  life  worth  living,  and  my 
family  joins  with  me  in  thanking  you  all  from  the 
bottom  of  our  hearts." 


"Jack  Renner's  Old  Timers"  beat  "Nick  Decker's 
Yomigsters"  in  a  special  bowling  match  Wednesday 
evening,  November  10th,  at  Carroll's.  The  As- 
sembly Room  team  consisting  of  Renner,  Gauch, 
Blekkenk,  Kraftschik  and  Fleischer,  feels  pretty 
chesty  over  its  victory,  because  it  is  the  first  time 
that  the  Tool  Room  has  been  beaten  in  a  special 
match.  The  Metal  Room  became  so  pee^•ed  that 
they  have  organized  a  team  that  will  take  the 
wind  out  of  the  Assembly  Room  sails.  Captain 
Renner  says  that  his  team  are  all  good  skippers  and 
the  match  promises  to  be  a  hot  one. 


Diu-ingtheholiday  season,  everyone  in  the  works 
seemed  to  be  filled  with  the  spirit  of  giving.  The 
several  special  dinners  held  December  !2-lth  by  the 
different  departments  and  the  exchange  of  greetings 
amongst  our  workers,  show  the  real  friendly  rela- 
tions that  our  employees  have  for  one  another. 


The  Premo  is  pleased  to  have  the  opportunity  of 
welcoming  new  employees  to  its  staff.  Allow  us  to 
introduce  Charles  Eisenberg,  Plant  Department; 
Thomas  Kilgrass.  Eimice  Tillson,  John  Di  Rose,

meet  you,  hope  you  like  it  here  at  the  Works.  Join 
the  Premo  Club,  get  better  acquainted  and  make 
\ourself  at  home. 


WELL— WELL— WELL 

Pedro  parties  at  the  Premo  Works  have  proven 
to  be  a  very  popular  pastime  for  Club  members  and 
their  friends.  The  party  of  December  10th,  was 
well  attended  and  greatly  enjoyed  by  those  present. 
After  prizes  were  awarded,  refreshments  were 
served,  after  which  the  floor  was  cleared  and  made 
ready  for  dancing  which  was  enjoyed  imtil  a  late 
hour.  Music  was  furnished  by  Mildred  Stritzel  at 
the  piano,  Harry  Gomn,  violin  and  George  Texter, 
traps  and  drums.  Club  members,  attention!  The 
Committee  announces  January  14,  1921,  as  the  next 
pedro  party  and  dance,  and  if  you  want  a  real  good 
time — well,  just  try  it  once.

Where  are  all  our  hockey  players.''  The  Athletic 
Editor  tells  us  they  are  lying  dormant  in  the  works. 
Come  out  of  your  shells  and  give  an  account  of 
yourselves!  Send  your  name  to  the  E.  and  S.  De- 
partment and  see  if  we  can  help  to  form  a  Hockey 
League,  as  there  is  nothing  dormant  at  the  Premo 
that  we  know  anything  about. 


When  John  Roach  of  the  Press  Department  came 
away  from  the  big  dance  held  at  the  Armory, 
December  3rd,  he  found  a  green  tag  on  the  steering 
wheel  of  his  auto,  asking  him  to  call  at  Police  Head- 
quarters. Some  of  the  boys  said  that  he  must  have 
been  speeding,  but  we  are  told  that  John  had  just 
parked  his  "flivver"  with  all  lights  out. 


We  are  sorry  to  say  that  Emily  Wheeler  of  the 
Assembly  Department  has  been  absent  from  her 
work  owing  to  illness.  She  entered  the  Homeo- 
pathic Hospital  and  underwent  an  operation  from 
which  she  is  recovering  as  rapidly  as  can  be  ex- 
pected. We  all  extend  our  sympathy  to  her  and 
trust  she  will  soon  be  able  to  be  with  us  again.

BASKETBALL,  conceded  by  many 
people  to  be  the  king  of  winter 
indoor  sports,  has  reached  a  plane  never 
before  experienced  in  Kodak  history. 
This  season,  ten 
quintettes  are 
wearing  the  Kodak 
insignia. 

Kodak  Park,  the 
birthplace  of  Ko- 
dak basketball,  is, 
as  would  be  expect- 
ed, at  the  top  of  the 
heap.  The  Parkers 
have  two  top-notch 
aggregations  in  the 
field.  The  men's 
team,  with  Manager 
Ed.Goodridgeat  the 
helm,  and  "Rip" 
Benzoni  coaching. 
has  made  an  envi- 
able record  in  the 
three  games  j^layed 
up  to  this  writing 
(December  1.5tlii. 
Their  scores  a  re 
shown  in  the  Kodak 
Park  section. 

Manager  (iood- 
ridge  has  arranged 
a  most  attractive 
schedule  and  ex- 
pects to  liave  a  team 
that  will  rank  with 
the  best  in  the  city 
before  the  season  closes. 

The  Kodak  Park  girls,  under  the 
managership  of  "Marg"  Ellis  and 
coached  by  Charlie  Thompson  and

of  victories,  with  four  straight.  Their 
record  appears  in  the  Kodak  Park  section. 
Camera  \Yorks  with  three  teams  in 
the  field,  has  not  as  yet  started  to  accu- 
mulate a  record. 
The  Camera  Works 
girls  are  resuming 
where  they  left  off 
last  winter,  but  the 
State  Street  plant 
has  two  new  teams 
in  operation  this 
season,  a  men's 
team  and  a  team  of 
y  o  u  n  g  e  r  bo  >'  s  . 
known  as  the"Cam- 
era  Works  ]Midg- 
ets."  None  of  these 
teams  has  as  yet 
started  for  want  of 
a  suitable  court  for 
l)ractice  anfl  games. 
At  Camera  Works, 
just  as  in  all  the 
other  j)lants. except 
Kodak  Park,  the 
constant  cry  of  the 
basketball  enthusi- 
asts is  "We  want  a 
home."  liasketball 
courts  in  Rochester 
show  a  strong  re- 
semblance to  hens' 
teeth,  and  the 
owners  of  the  few 
that  exist  demand 
fabulous  rentals.  The  eight  teams  from 
Camera  Works,  Ilawk-Eye.  Kodak  Office, 
and  Prcmo.  therefore,  find  themselves  in 
the  position  of  "All  dressed  uj)  and  no 
place  to  go."

The  Hawk-Eye  men  are  also  in  the 
field  this  season  under  the  managership  of 
"Benny"  Levine.  They  have  played  two 
of  the  closest  hard  luck  battles  that  any 
team  can  be  called  upon  to  go  through. 
In  their  opening  struggle  on  an  unfa- 
miliar court,  the  St.  Paul  Street  boys 
played  the  Mt.  Carmel  team  to  a  tie,  but 
lost  out  24  to  22  in  an  extra  five  minute 
period.  The  second  game  saw  the  Hawk- 
Eye  boys  nosed  out  by  a  single  point,  18 
to  17,  in  their  game  with  Kodak  Office 
men. 

The  newly  formed  Kodak  Office  Recre- 
ation Club  has  both  men's  and  girls' 
teams  in  the  field.      The  men's  team  is 


"TODDY"  DIEHL 

Coach,  Kodak  Office  Girls'  Basketball  Team 


GEORGE  WILSON 
Coach,  Premo  Girls'  Basketball  Team 

under  the  tutelage  of  Coach  John  Boeing, 
with  Fred  Fogarty  as  Manager.  Opening 
the  season  against  the  far-famed  Perintons 
of  Pittsford  and  East  Rochester  on  the 
tiny  box-like  court  at  the  latter  town,  the 
Office  boys  took  a  bad  beating.  Score  45 
to  17.  This  defeat,  however,  they  re- 
trieved in  their  second  game  by  an  18  to 
17  victory  over  Hawk-Eye.  Their  third 
battle  brought  them  up  against  the 
Rochester  Stamping  Company.  Score: 
Kodak  Office  35;  Rochester  Stamping  21. 

The  Main  Office  Girls  showed  their  in- 
experience at  the  court  game  losing  to  the 
veteran  Hawk-Eye  team  14  to  4.  "Toddy" 
Diehl  is  coaching  these  girls. 

The  Premo  girls,  an  aggregation  of  old 
timers,  opened  the  season  with  Kodak 
Park,  losing  8  to  6.  Homer  Ransom  is 
again  manager  of  the  Premo  team  with 
George  Wilson  acting  as  coach. 

All  in  all,  the  basketball  situation  is 
decidedly  encouraging.  The  material  is 
here  and  the  enthusiasm  is  running  high. 
With  better  facilities  for  practice  and 
games  and  a  little  livelier  support  from 
the  organization  at  large,  the  name 
"Kodak"  will  be  written  large  across  the 
1921  sport  record.

KODAK  PARK  SOCCER  TEAM  HAS 
CHANCE  FOR  NATIONAL  CUP 

December  15th. — ^The  progress  of  the 
Kodak  Park  soccer  team  during  the  past 
few  weeks  has  been  phenomenal.  Draw- 
ing a  bye  in  the  first  round  of  the  Na- 
tional Cup  Competition,  and  defeating 
the  Oneida  Community  team  and 
McNaughton  Rangers  in  the  second  and 
third  rounds  respectively,  they  are  now 
drawn  to  meet  the  Goodrich  Rubber  team 
in  the  fourth  game.  This  is  the  first 
time  that  Kodak  Park  has  won  such 
prominence  in  the  soccer  world,  and  we 
should  be  proud  of  them. 

The  addition  of  several  new  men  dur- 
ing the  past  season  has  been  responsible 
to  some  extent  for  our  good  showing,  as 
these  men  filled  the  few  weak  positions  on 
the  team.  Both  Simms  and  Clegg  are 
players  of  ability  and  deserve  much 
credit.  The  spirit  which  exists  among  the 
players  of  the  Kodak  team  is  excellent, 
and  it  is  a  duty  on  the  part  of  the  mem- 
bership body  of  the  Association  to  get 
behind  the  boys  and  lend  them  our  moral 
support.  Here's  luck  and  may  Kodak 
Park  add  a  National  Cup  to  its  already 
large  collection  of  trophies. 

The  club  was  entertained  on  Novem- 
ber 16th  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  L.  Rife,  and 
again  on  December  7th  by  ]Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Edward  Allardice.

Now  that  the  season  is  half  over,  we  ought  to  see 
some  pretty  spurts  on  the  part  of  the  tailenders. 
How  about  dislodging  that  Kodak  Park  team?  Make 
the  ending  just  as  interesting  as  the  beginning. 

Sullivan  of  the  Premo  team,  says  that  he's  durn 
glad  that  his  team  bowls  in  the  afternoon.  "Sully" 
is  reported  to  be  a  dancing  instructor  during  his  even- 
ings, and  offers  special  rates  to  all  the  boys  in  the 
league. 

George  Kosel  of  the  Hawk-Eye  outfit,  says  that 
he  will  present  each  member  of  his  team  with  a 
barbed  wire  sponge  bath  if  their  efforts  to  take 
three  games  from  Kodak  Park  are  rewarded.  That 
ought  to  make  the  Hawk-Eye  boys  sit  up  and  take 
notice. 

Come  on  "Duke,"  get  into  the  nineties.  We're 
all  waiting. 

Behrns  of  Kodak  Park  has  high  game  to  date. 
Nothing  but  a  little  258. 

Servise  of  the  Kodak  Park  team  is  coming  along 
like  a  champ  under  the  watchful  eye  of  the  veteran 
Beuckman  who  has  been  coaching  the  youngest 
member  of  the  league  for  the  past  two  years.  Yes 
— he  surely  is  of  some  service  to  the  present  league 
leaders. 


O'Neill's  Camera  Works  team  had  better  prac- 
tice the  next  time  it  meets  the  Kodak  Park  team. 
They  roll  like  "champs"  against  all  other  teams, 
but  try  very  hard  to  emulate  "chumps"  when  they 
roll  Kodak  Park.  Bill,  show  us  that  you  are  a  real 
Irish  leader! 

Breemes  of  the  Folmer-Centiu-y  squad  is  a  regu- 
lar ace  when  it  comes  to  wishing  the  pins  over. 
"Pete"  goes  through  a  real  contortionist  act  after 
delivering  each  ball  and  works  harder  than  anyone 
in  the  league  to  topple  over  the  pins.  Lotsa  luck  to 
you,  Breemes. 

The  Hawk-Eye  team  does  not  seem  to  be  able  to 
get  a  start  on  the  road  to  victory  despite  the  good 
example  set  by  their  hard  working  captain.  Kosel, 
you'd  better  tell  them  how  'tis  done. 

Premo  appears  to  be  the  "little  old  hard  luck" 
team  of  the  league.  When  they  shoot  aroimd  950, 
their  antagonists  roll  about  1000.  Mura  is  begin- 
ning to  step  into  his  best  harness  and  his  good  work 
ought  to  keep  the  boys  up  near  the  top  rung. 

Remember:   Respect  the  foul  line. 

"If  you  have  nothing  on"  for  next  Saturday  after- 
noon, why  not  drop  in  at  the  Genesee  Bowling  Alleys 
to  witness  your  team  walk  up  to  victory  or  go  do^\'n 
to  defeat.^    Back  up  your  team  with  your  presence.

ON  TO  BUFFALO  ! 


I 


^ 


"D  OCHESTER  is  known  the  world  over 
■^^as  "The  Kodak  City,"  and  the 
National  Tournament  of  the  American 
Bowling  Congress  at  Buffalo,  between 
February  '■28th  and  March  31st,  will  see 
the  Kodak  City  represented  by  an  All- 
Star  Kodak  team. 

It  is  the  consensus  of  opinion  that  the 
Camera  Bowling  League,  the 
twenty-year  aggregation  of 
bowlers  of  all  the  Eastman 
Kodak  plants,  contains  the 
best  pin-pickers,  and  a  team  of 
six  men  will  be  selected  from 
this  league  to  try  its  skill  on 
national  tournament  alleys. 
The  officers  of  the  league — A. 
E.  Chadwick,  President,  J.  S. 
Stanton,  Secretary,  and  Chas. 
Natt,  Vice-President — met 
Saturday,  December  18th,  to 
discuss  the  matter  of  sending  a 
team  to  Buffalo  and  also  laid 
out  plans  for  the  selection  of 
the  best  bowlers. 

Last  year's  averages  will  go 
a  long  way  in  the  selecting  of 
the  team,  except  where  there 
are  bowlers  this  season  Avho 
have  never  rolled  in  the  league 
before.  These  new  men  will  all  be  con- 
sidered just  as  carefully  as  those  who 
had  high  averages  last  year,  and  if  your 
average  is  up  about  185,  and  you  roll  a 
legitimate  ball,  your  chances  are  very 
good  for  a  place  on  the  team. 

There  has  been  talk  of  sending  a  team 
to  the  National  Tournaments  for  a  num- 
ber of  years,  but  never  before  has  the 
city,  selected  for  the  matches,  been  so 
near  home.  "Now,  if  ever — ,"  is  what 
the  officers  of  the  league  say.     If  a  Kodak 


/ 


CONSOLATION  TROPHY 

Camera  Bowling  League 


team  gains  a  place  in  the  running  this 
year,  all  future  tournaments  of  the 
American  Bowling  Congress  will  see  the 
Kodak  men  on  the  alleys. 

President  Chadwick  says:  "In  regard 
to  sending  a  team  of  our  best  men  to 
Buffalo,  to  enter  the  National  Tourna- 
ment of  the  American  Bowling  Congress,  I 
would  say  that  the  men  should 
at  least  finish  in  the  money, 
and  the  matter  of  selecting  a 
team  each  year  would  en- 
courage the  men  to  greater 
efforts  in  order  to  make  the 
team  and  woidd  tend  to  make 
our  league  better  and  faster. 

"Personally,  I  am  always  for 
anything  that  is  good  and  I  be- 
lieve a  trip  to  Buffalo  would  be 
the  best  step  we  have  taken 
towards  arousing  greater  in- 
terest. It  might  be  interesting 
to  some  of  us  to  know  that  a 
picked  team  from  the  Camera 
Bowling  League  won  first  prize 
in  a  city  tournament  three 
years  ago,  and  they  are  as 
good  to-day  as  they  were  at 
that  time." 

Both  the  other  officers  of  the

LOOKING  BACKWARD 

THE  GROWTH  AND  DEVELOPMENT  OF  OUR  OAVX  INDUSTRY 

Chapter  IV 


OUT  of  the  broadened  interest 
awakened  in  amateur  photography 
through  its  simplification  by  Mr.  East- 
man's achievements,  grew  an  enormous 
demand  for  photographic  materials.  And 
out  of  this  demand  grew  this  great 
photographic  industry  of  which  we  are 
a  part. 

Mr.  Eastman  had  foreseen  from  the 
first  the  commercial  possibilities  in 
amateur  photography  just  as  Daguerre 
is  said  to  have  foreseen  its  professional 
possibilities;  and  while  he  labored  in  his 
little  laboratory  he  had  probably  laid 
plans  to  meet  them. 

Inventors  are  not  as  a  rule  great 
organizers.  The  dreamer  of  the  labora- 
tory is  not  often  the  practical  builder 
of  great  industrial  enterprises.  Mr. 
Eastman  was  the  exception  that  jiroved 
the  rule — combining  both  to  a  remarkable 
degree.  His  inventive  genius  had  created 
the  something  new  in  photography;  his 
organizing  genius  bent  to  the  task  of 
creating  a  demand  for  the  product  and 
supplying  that  demand. 

And  who  so  w^ell  qualified  for  the 
successful  manufacture  of  photographic 
materials,  where  care  and  exactness  are 
the  all-important  factors  ?  Years  of 
laboratory  research  work  had  made 
him  an  expert  in  photographic  processes. 
Close  testing  of  chemical  formulae  in 
the  search  for  photographic  secrets  had 
given  him  a  world  of  exact  knowledge 
wherewith  to  start.  These  technical 
and  scientific  advantages  he  had  the 
good    sense    to    jjush    to    the  utmost. 

But  the  industrial  demands  of  the 
amateur  were  in  time  dwarfed  by  a  new 


and  unforeseen  demand  which  had  been 
Moiion  created  as  a  direct  result  of 
Pictures  these  film  discoveries.  Mr. 
Eastman's  achievements  came  at  a  time 
when  Edison  was  in  the  midst  of  his 
motion  picture  experiments.  A  trans- 
parent flexible  film,  combining  good 
photographic  quality  with  tensile  strength, 
was  necessary  to  the  success  of  the  Edison 
invention.  Eastman  film  precisely  filled' 
the  bill,  and  motion  pictures  were  made 
possible.  This  was  in  the  late  eighties. 
It  was  not,  however,  until  1895  that 
motion  picture  film  was  sold  for  other 
than  experimental  purposes.  Twenty-five 
j'ears  later  motion  picture  houses  to  the 
number  of  15,000  dot  this  broad  land  of 
ours,  requiring  not  less  than  sixty  million 
feet  of  motion  picture  film  at  every 
performance. 

To  keep  pace  with  this  prodigious 
demand  was  the  problem  that  was  added 
to  that  already  confronting  the  Rochester 
inventor.  A  glance  at  our  various  plants 
will  show  how  accurately  the  measure 
of  these  manufacturing  necessities  had 
been  gauged. 

In  1880,  under  the  firm  name  of 
George  Eastman,  the  manufacture  of 
dry  plates  was  begun.  In  1891,  three 
years  after  the  Kodak  was  born,  a  single 
building  with  a  floor  space  of  27,500 
sqiuirefeet  suj)plied  the  factory  and  office 
needs  of  the  company.  The  Kodak  Park 
plant,  with  a  floor  area  of  66,122  square 
feet  (1^2  acres),  also  began  to  operate  in 
June  of  that  year.  Today  five  large 
plants  with  a  total  floor  area  of  nearly 
100  acres  are  maintained  in  this  city 
alone    for    the    manufacture    of    various 


THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


types  of  cameras,  lenses,  photographic 
papers  and  film. 

Kodak  Park,  the  largest  of  these,  as 
our  readers  know,  is  devoted  almost  ex- 
clusively to  the  manufacture  of  film  and 
Kodak  other  sensitized  products.  It  is  a 
Park  tract  of  225  acres,  of  which 
eighteen  acres  are  laid  out  in  trees,  shrubs 
and  lawn,  giving  a  setting  of  beauty  to 
the  factory  surroundings.  One  hundred 
and  fourteen  buildings  witli  a  floor  space 
of  over  80  acres  have  already  been  erected 
on  this  Park  site. 

The  capacity  of  Kodak  Park  in  motion 
picture  film  alone  is  over  ninety-five 
million  feet  per  month,  or,  roughly, 
215,000  miles  for  the  year.  Five  million 
pounds  of  cotton  are  used  annually  in 
the  manufacture  of  Eastman  film.  One- 
twelfth  of  all  the  silver  mined  in  the 
United  States  is  consumed  in  sensitizing 
the  Eastman  films  and  papers  and  plates, 
this  consumption  amounting  to  more 
than  three  tons  of  pure  bullion  each  week. 
The  acids  for  nitrating  this  cotton  and 
silver,  running  into  thousands  of  tons 
per  month,  are  also  manufactured  at  the 
Park,  as  are  many  other  basic  materials, 

A  refrigeration  plant  witli  a  total 
daily  capacity  of  4,500  tons — sufficient 
for  a  city  of  200,000  jjcople — and  a 
private  water  supply  system  of  twelve 
million  gallons  daily  capacity,  connected 
directly  with  Lake  Ontario,  six  miles 
away,  further  suggest  the  scale  of  manu- 
facture of  our  great  industry. 

From  the  little  room  in  his  home 
where,  over  forty  years  ago,  Mr.  Eastman 
began  his  experiments  in  photographic 
A  Great  processes,  to  the  highly  organ- 
Industrial  ized  facilities  for  research  at 
Laboratory  Kodak  Park  today,  is  a  far  cry. 
But  the  difference  is  only  another 
measure  of  the  distance  photography 
itself  has  traveled  along  the  road  to 
universal  use. 

Laboratory  work  that  was  once  done 
with  the  most  limited  equipment  by  one 
very-much-in-earnest  young  man  is  now 
in  the  hands  of  a  large  staff  of  scientifi- 
cally trained    men    who    have    at  their 


command  one  of  the  most  completely 
equipped  industrial  laboratories  in  the 
world. 

In  addition  to  testing  laboratories, 
X-ray  rooms  and  studios,  the  build- 
ing is  equipped  with  an  independent 
plant  for  the  manufacture  of  photo- 
graphic material  on  such  a  scale  that 
the  results  can  be  practically  applied 
in  the  manufacturing  departments.  Here 
are  also  made  photographic  materials 
for  scientific  work  for  which,  of  course, 
there  is  little  or  no  commercial  demand. 

In  the  production  of  synthetic,  organic 
chemicals  for  which,  before  the  war, 
this  country  was  entirely  dependent 
upon  'Germany,  the  Kodak  laboratory 
took  a  leading  part.  As  a  result  of 
these  war  and  post-war  efforts,  out  of 
the  800  rare  chemicals  now  available 
in  this  country,  according  to  the  American 
Chemical  Society's  report,  600  are  pre- 
pared in  the  Kodak  laboratory. 

In  addition  to  Kodak  Park,  four  other 
plants  in  the  city,  and  a  sixteen-story 
office  building,  are  required  for  the 
various  activities  of  the  company.  The 
Camera  Works,  with  a  floor  area  of  over 
eight  acres,  is  devoted  to  the  manufacture 
of  Kodaks  and  Brownies;  Premo  Works 
to  Premos;  Folmer-Century  to  studio, 
professional,  aerial  and  laboratory  photo- 
graphic equipment,  and  Hawk-Eye  Works 
to  the  manufacture  of  lenses. 

In  addition  to  these,  plants  are  main- 
tained in  Toronto,  Canada;  Harrow, 
England;  Melbourne,  Australia,  and 
distributing  branches  in  all  the  more 
important  countries  of  the  world.  The 
total  number  of  peo])le  on  the  payroll  of 
the  company  is  upwards  of  18,000. 

Thus  has  been  created  a  pastime  for 
the  world,  an  agent  of  utility  that  enters 
into  every  form  of  human  activity,  and 
an  industry  that  is  the  greatest  of  its 
kind. 


Work  inspires,  empowers,  gladdens, 
produces,  thrills.  Worry  tires,  sours,  sad- 
dens, reduces,  kills.  Work  is  the  best 
tonic.

On  the  back  cover  of  this  issue  we 
show  a  tabulation  of  the  distribution  of

and  stockhouses.  If  we  could  show  a 
tabulation  of  later  date  than  January 
10th,  these  figures  would  be  materially 
increased,  but  at  this  time,  it  is  impos- 
sible, owing  to  the  immense  amount  of

In  answer  to  one  of  the  most  frequent

WHAT  IS  THE  MATTER  WITH  BUSINESS  ? 

THE  TRUTH  ABOUT  PRESENT  CONDITIONS,  AND  THE  WAY  TO  REMEDY  THEM 


THAT  we  are  undergoing  a  period  of 
economic  unrest  admits  of  no  argu- 
ment. 

There  is,  however,  a  great  deal  of  mis- 
apprehension regarding  the  cause  and  the 
cure. 

That  we  are  not  in  a  perilous  condition 
and  that  the  cure  is  already  in  progress 
will  be  seen  from  the  following  facts 
gleaned  from  authoritative  sources: 

Let  us  preface  with  the  following  re- 
mark, under  date  of  January  8th,  by  B. 
C.  Forbes,  one  of  the  foremost  students  of 
economics:  "We  are  now  on  the  right 
track,  whereas  a  year  ago  we  were  on  the 
WTong  track.  We  have  not  yet  completed 
the  painful  journey  from  the  clouds  to 
solid  earth,  but  we  have  already  covered 
a  large  part  of  the  way.  By  spring  we 
should  have  reached  a  reasonable  level 
and  be  ready  for  rational,  sensible 
progress." 

The  world  war  entailed  tremendous 
losses,  and  no  part  of  the  world  can  avoid 
its  share  of  these  losses,  nor  escape  the 
burden  so  imposed. 

The  National  City  Bank  of  New  York, 
commenting  on  conditions,  has  this  to 
say:  "The  second  year  following  the 
Armistice  did  not  bring  the  degree  of 
industrial  recovery  and  social  recupera- 
tion among  the  people  of  Europe  which 
had  been  hoped  for.  Conditions  over  the 
greater  part  of  the  continent  are  still  in 
great  confusion,  and  over  much  of  it  even 
more  distressing  than  a  year  ago.  There 
are,  however,  some  signs  of  progress 
toward  order  and  better  things." 

All  of  Europe  that  was  involved  in  the 
war  suffered  terrific  losses  in  men  and 
capital,  and  also  suffered  by  the  dis- 
organization of  its  industries. 

This  latter  source  of  loss  is  due  in  part 
to  the  war,  but  even  more  to  the  agitation 
which  seeks  to  overthrow  the  existing 
social  order. 


This  disorganization  affects  this  coun- 
try and  every  other  part  of  the  world, 
because  Europe  was  the  great  market  for 
the  products  of  all  other  parts  of  the  world. 

The  people  of  Europe  need  clothing, 
but  they  cannot  buy  cotton  or  wool;  they 
need  many  other  things,  but  have  not 
the  means  of  payment. 

Commodities  traded  in  all  over  the 
world  cannot  be  sustained  in  price  in  the 
United  States  when  prices  are  falling 
everywhere  else. 

This  unsettlement  has,  of  course,  led 
to  a  curtailment  of  purchases  all  along 
the  line,  by  the  consumer,  who  either 
could  not  purchase,  or  who  waited  for 
lower  prices,  and  by  the  retailer  who 
bought  only  to  sort  up  his  stock. 

The  operations  of  any  important  in- 
dustry run  into  values  very  fast,  and  few 
companies  are  strong  enough  to  keep  up 
their  outgo  for  very  long  unless  the  goods 
are  moving  and  producing  an  income. 

It  is  unfortunate,  but  when  goods  can- 
not be  distributed,  a  temporary  slowing 
down  during  the  period  of  readjustment 
cannot  l^e  avoided. 

Quoting  again  from  the  National  City 
Bank:  "Everybody  must  get  away  from 
the  idea  that  wages  and  prices  are  fixed 
by  arbitrary  decrees,  or  by  agreements 
between  employers  and  employees.  ]Most 
of  our  troubles  are  due  to  these  superficial 
assumptions.  The  truth  is  that  there  are 
great  economic  laws  which  hold  society 
together,  and  fix  the  relations  between 
classes  and  interests  bej'ond  the  power  of 
agreements  or  legislation  to  change  them. 

"The  answer  to  the  question,  when  will 
recovery  come,  is  that  it  will  come  when 
everybody  gets  ready  to  do  his  part  in 
the  readjustment.  When  everybody  quits 
thinking  that  he  can  enjoy  low  prices  at  the 
expense  of  others  and  high  wages  or  high 
prices  for  himself,  the  situation  will  begin 
to  improve." 


THE  KODAK  AL\GAZINE 


Roger  Babson,  the  statistician,  com- 
pares the  present  situation  to  a  towel 
saturated  with  water,  and  remarks  that 
we  can  either  wring  out  the  towel  and 
have  it  over  with,  or  let  the  excess  slowly 
evaporate. 

Let  us  make  the  attempt  to  get  back 
to  normal  as  speedily  as  possible;  let  us 
wring  out  the  excess.  It  may  mean  some 
temporary  discomfort  and  rigid  economy 


for  a  time,  but  we  have  got  to  stand,  each 
one,  our  share  of  the  loss,  and  then,  when 
this  is  made  up,  we  will  again  attain 
clear  sailing,  progress  and  prosperity. 

There  is  no  cause  for  a  panic,  or  wild 
alarm;  you  have  the  truth,  and  the 
remedy.  Do  not  be  misled  by  uninformed 
agitators;  do  not  greedily  absorb  un- 
founded rumors;  think  straight,  live  right, 
and  the  cure  is  well  under  wav.

THE  ROCHESTER  DENTAL  DISPENSARY 

MANY  KODAK  EMPL0\T:ES  TAKING  ADVANTAGE  OF  THE  OPPORTUNITY 

FOR  THEIR  CHILDREN 


THE  work  among  the  children  of 
Kodak  employees  at  the  Rochester 
Dental  Dispensary  is  progressing  in  splen- 
did shape. 

From  December  17th  to  December  31st, 
IQ^O,  one  hundred  and  seven  appoint- 
ments were  made,  and  the  appointments 
for  January  will  approximate  two  hun- 
dred (based  on  the  figures  at  the  time  this 
was  written). 

Kodak  Park  naturally  leads  in  the  num- 
ber of  appointments,  followed  by  the 
other  plants  in  the  order  given:  Camera 
Works,  Hawk-Eye,  Premo,  Kodak  Office, 
Folmer-Century . 

For  the  present,  appointments  are  being 
dated  from  three  to  four  weeks  after  the 
application  is  received.  This  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  our  children  are  received  only 
on  Mondays  and  Fridays,  the  balance  of 
the  week  being  given  over  to  other 
appointments. 


If  your  children  are  in  need  of  dental 
treatment,  and  there  are  but  few  who  are 
not,  do  not  fail  to  take  advantage  of  this 
opportunity.  As  stated  in  our  January 
issue,  application  blanks  for  Dispensary 
Service  may  be  obtained  from  department 
heads  and  the  nurses  in  the  plant  dis- 
pensaries. When  the  form  is  filled  out  it 
should  be  placed  in  the  envelope  provided 
and  sent  to  the  Industrial  Relations  De- 
partment, 3-13  State  Street. 

A  card  of  introduction  to  the  Dispen- 
sary, giving  time  of  appointment,  will  be 
sent  the  applicant ;  after  receipt,  the  child, 
or  children,  should  be  taken  to  the  Dis- 
pensary at  the  time  stated. 


Remember  that  when  you're  in  the 
right  you  can  afford  to  keep  your  temper, 
and  that  when  you're  in  the  wTong  you 
can't  afford  to  lose  it.

Address  all  communications   to  Editor,  Kodak  Magazine, 
Main  Office,  Eastman  Kodak  Co.,  Rochester,  N.  Y. 


Editorials  are  usually  wTitten  about  the 
things  in  which  the  Editor  is  most  in- 
terested. Just  now  w^e  are  interested  in  a 
number  of  things;  decidedly  very  much 
interested. 

First  and  foremost  is  the  way  the 
employees  are  reacting  towards  the 
Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Association — 
our  association. 

Full  details  are  given  on  another  page 
as  to  the  splendid  and  spontaneous  w^ay 
the  subscriptions  for  shares  are  pouring  in. 
It  is  mighty  encouraging  to  find  so  many 
of  our  fellow  workers  thinking  straight, 
and  only  too  eager  to  embrace  this 
opportunity  to  provide  for  a  comfortable 
future. 

You  would  hardly  expect  the  young 
folks  of  this  generation  to  in  any  way 
differ  from  those  of  the  preceding  one, 
yet  there  is  a  difference,  and  for  the 
better.  Perhaps  the  war  and  its  after- 
math has  had  something  to  do  with  it. 

For  a  while  we  tossed  our  money  up  in 
the  air  and  paid  any  old  price,  so  long  as 
w^e  got  what  we  wanted,  or  thought  we 
wanted.     Our  dollar  shrank  and  shrank. 


and  finally  we  woke  up  and  began  to 
wonder  where  it  all  was  going  to  end. 
Then  the  reaction  came;  we  began  to 
wonder  if  we  hadn't  been  just  a  bit  foolish 
and  extravagant — in  fact  a  whole  lot  of  us 
knew  we  had,  and  so  we  commenced  to 
hold  on  to  our  loose  change,  and  to  hold 
out  a  bit  for  show^ery  weather.  Now  we 
have  found  just  the  right  place  to  invest 
these  savings,  so  let  the  good  work  go  on. 


It  is  a  nice  bright  day  and  you  are 
feeling  full  of  "pep"  and  at  peace  with  all 
the  world.  You  put  in  a  'phone  call  and 
the  party  at  the  other  end  answers  with  a 
gruff  "Hello,"  "Well,"  or  "Whadda  ya 
want?"  Instantly'  a  cold  wdnd  comes  out 
of  the  North,  the  sky  clouds  over  and  you 
are  ready  to  fight. 

You  cannot  expect  everyone  to  be 
feeling  just  fine  all  the  time — you  know 
how^  it  is  yourself — but  w^hy  take  it  out 
on  the  other  fellow.^ 

A  pleasant  and  courteous  response  to  a 
telephone  call  requires  but  little  effort  on 
your  part,  and  the  habit  should  be 
cultivated. 

We  have  hundreds  of  calls  from  the 
outside  every  day ;  many  from  strangers 
who  have  no  personal  acquaintance  w4tli 
anyone  in  the  organization.  They  will 
to  a  great  extent  form  their  opinion  of  us 
through  the  way  they  are  answered  over 
the  'phone. 

Put  a  smile  into  your  voice  over  the 
ware;  it  will  make  friends  for  the  company 
and  for  vou. 


Quite  a  few  of  the  Kodak  youngsters 
have  sharpened  up  their  pencils  and  sent 
in  essays  for  the  Safety  Essay  Competition 
as  announced  in  our  January  issue. 

This  is  just  to  remind  those  who  have 
not  as  yet  sent  in  their  efforts,  that  the 
competition  closes  on  February  15th. 

That  five-dollar  prize  is  going  to  feel 
pretty  nice  in  some  boy  or  girl's  pocket, 
and  the  other  winners  are  going  to  have  a 
lot  of  fun  playing  the  prize  safety  game. 

Remind  your  youngsters.

CUT  DOWN  THE  PERCENTAGE! 


THE  accompanying  chart  shows  an 
analysis  of  601  serious  accidents 
which  occurred  in  our  Rochester  plants 
during  the  years  1918,  1919  and  19^20. 

Inspection  of  this  chart  shows  accidents 
to  fingers  in  the  lead  by  a  wide  margin; 
the  next  in  order  are  accidents  to  the 
foot  and  back. 

It  is  encouraging  to  note  the  small 
percentage  of  eye  accidents;  this  is  due 
to  the  fact  that  our  w'orkers  have  learned 
the  value  of  goggles,  and  wear  them 
when  necessary. 

We  started  a  systematic  campaign  of 
accident  prevention  in  1910  and  "Safety 


First"    still    holds    an    important    place 
in  our  organization. 

Our  best  safety  records  were  made 
in  the  years  1915  and  1916;  since  then 
the  accident  ratio  has  somewhat  in- 
creased. This  increase  is,  without 
question,  due  to  our  having  to  employ 
a  higher  percentage  of  inexperienced 
help  during  the  war  period. 

Safety  devices,  safety  signals  and 
other  warnings,  cannot  however  compete 
with  carelessness,  and  it  is  a  fact  that 
ninety  per  cent,  of  the  accidents  occurring 
in  our  plants  are  due  to  carelessness.

Many  finger  accidents  occur  on  guarded 
machines,  the  operator  reaching  around 
behind  the  guard,  or  having  his  attention 
attracted  elsewhere  while  operating  the 
machine. 

Accidents  to  the  back  are  most  fre- 
quently caused  by  attempting  to  lift 
or  move  too  heavy  an  object  without 
assistance,  or  from  handling  in  an 
incorrect  manner. 


Do  not  risk  a  strained  back  with  its 
possible  complications,  just  because  you 
fear  that  some  fellow  employee  will 
"guy"  you  for  your  lack  of  strength. 

Most  of  the  ankle  and  knee  accidents 
are  due  to  running  or  skylarking,  and 
not  to  any  hazards  incident  to  the 
industry. 

Let  us  all  work  together  to  cut  down 
the  percentage  of  all  accidents  in  1921. 


WAGE  DIVIDEND 

EARLIER  PARTICIPATION  FOR  THE  NEW  EMPLOYEE 


IT  has  been  decided  that  all  employees 
who  are  on  the  first  pay  roll  made  up 
in  October  (which  in  the  year  1920  was 
October  2nd) ,  and  who  are  in  the  employ 
of  the  company  on  the  first  day  of  July  of 
the  following  year,  and  are  otherwise 
eligible,  shall  participate  in  future  Wage 
Dividends. 

This  change  brings  the  Wage  Dividend 
just  one  year  nearer  to  the  new  employee. 

This  is  pleasant  news  and  we  are  glad 
to  pass  the  word  along. 

The  Wage  Dividend  has  never  been 
intended  as  a  substitute  for  wages,  but 
rather  as  a  recognition  of  the  value  to  the 


company  of  trained  workers  and  as  a 
reward  for  faithful  service. 

The  old  employees  know  that  our 
organization  is  a  good  one  with  which  to 
be  connected;  employees  of  ten,  fifteen 
and  twenty-five  years  servnce  are  no  rarity 
^\ath  us. 

We  want  the  new  employee  to  sense  our 
feeling  toward  him  and  to  realize  that 
ours  is  a  good  organization.  We  feel  that 
this  step  in  shortening  the  length  of  serv- 
ice necessary  to  participate  in  the  Wage 
Dividend  is  not  only  just,  but  convincing 
as  to  our  regard  for  the  employee  who  is 
striving  to  make  good. 


HOW  MUCH  OF  LAST  PAY  WAS  SAVED  ? 


I  AST  pay  day  you  got  your  envelope. 
-J  How  much  of  the  contents  still 
belongs  to  you — and  how  much  has  been 
passed  on? 

This  is  a  serious  question.  Saving 
money  is  one  of  the  lost  arts — and  like 
most  of  the  lost  arts,  many  of  us  are 
lamenting  its  absence. 

It's  so  easy  these  days  to  do  something 
else  with  one's  coin.  The  temptations 
to  spend  are  many  and  powerful;  the 
inducements  to  save  are  few  and  seldom 
heard  of.  Saving  is  one  of  the  most 
unpopular  indoor  sports.  Finding  a  man 
who  saves  and  is  proud  of  it  is  almost  as 
rare  as  finding  a  four-leafed  clover. 

Saving  is  a  habit.     It  must  be  a  regular 


habit.  It  may  come  hard  at  first,  but 
persistence  will  bring  you  out  on  top. 

The  way  to  save  is,  save  first.  Take 
out  of  your  envelope  a  stated  amount 
each  week,  deposit  it  right  away,  before 
any  other  expenses  are  paid — then  forget 
it. 

Saving  must  be  made  an  obligation. 
Look  upon  it  as  a  bill  which  must  be  met 
each  week.  Don't  dodge;  don't  cheat. 
Meet  the  bill  regularly  and  promptly. 

Five  dollars  a  week  deposited  regularly 
is  more  to  your  credit  than  twenty-five 
dollars  every  once  in  a  while. 

Regular  saving  makes  for  independence. 

Well?  How  about  HI— The  Center 
Punch.

WHO  WILL  WIN  THE  FIFTY  DOLLARS? 


The  Editor  of  the  Kodak  Magazine  has  passed 
along  the  word  that  there  have  been  very  few 
entries  from  Premo  in  the  Quarterly  Amateur 
Photographic  Competitions  held  by  the  Kodak 
Magazine. 

Where  is  there  a  person  who  will  pass  up  such  an 
opportunity  to  make  fifty  dollars — for  that  is  the 
amount  that  is  given  for  first  prize?  Certainly 
not  at  the  Premo.  You  perhaps  have  some  pictures 
taken  by  you  that  are  just  as  good  or  even  better 
than  those  that  won  the  prizes  in  the  last  contest. 
Why  didn't  you  send  them  in? 

The  third  contest  opened  February  1st  and 
closes    April     30th.      The    subjects    are:      Snow 


Scenes,  Winter  Sports  and  Still  Life  Pictures. 'Look 
up  the  conditions  of  the  contest  on  page  13  of  the 
January  Kodak  Magazine,  arm  yourself  (some 
Sunday  afternoon)  with  your  old  faithful  or  brand 
new  camera  and  travel  up  to  Highland  Park,  Cobb's 
Hill  or  Seneca  Park  for  your  subject.  You'll  be 
sure  to  find  some  spot  that  has  never  before  been 
photographed  and  you  will  derive  both  pleasure 
and  exercise  in  going  after  pictures. 

Try  it  once,  at  least!  We  want  some  amateur 
from  Premo  to  capture  first  prize  in  the  Third 
Competition.     Who  gets  the  fifty? 


WHO  SAID  "EATS?" 


When  it  comes  to  preparing  dinners  of  the  tasty 
sort,  the  girls  of  both  the  Production  and  the 
Employment  and  Service  Departments  are  well  up 
in  the  front  of  the  line  of  famous  chefs. 

On  December  23rd  the  Production  Department, 
imder  the  able  leadership  of  Linda  Schwing  and 
Alice  Garret  held  a  Christmas  luncheon  and  all 
the  members  of  the  department  say  that  the  menu 
from  the  potato  chips  to  the  after-dinner  kisses 
could  not  have  been  bettered  even  if  it  had  been 
in  the  hands  of  the  highest  priced  caterer. 

There  was  still  a  day  left  before  Christmas  for  the 
Employment  and  Service  Department  to  show  the 
Production  what  it  could  do  in  the  way  of  fine  eats 
and  a  general  good  time,  so  on  December  24th, 
Justine    McNulty   and    Adelbert    MacNallj'   took 


charge  of  spreading  the  Christmas  cheer  in  the 
form  of  good  things  to  eat.  It  is  not  known  whether 
the  amoimt  of  food  "our  caterers"  spread  before 
the  Employment  and  Service  Department  sur- 
passed that  of  the  Production  Department  or  not, 
but  in  the  words  of  those  present:  "We  never 
had  so  much  to  eat  as  we  had  at  that  dinner." 

After  the  table  had  been  cleared,  a  grab  bag,  in 
which  all  had  placed  some  small  gift  not  to  cost  over 
twenty  cents,  brought  forth  considerable  fun  and 
merriment,  for  all  had  a  chance  to  draw  a  prize. 

They  are  discussing  which  of  the  two  dinners  was 
the  better.  However,  both  departments  are  going 
to  demonstrate  next  Christmas  and  we're  all  looking 
forward  to  an  even  better  time  then. 


PREMO  CLUB  NEWS 


The  advance  meeting  of  the  Premo  Club,  held 
Friday  evening,  January  7th,  brought  forth  a  very 
good  attendance  and  all  present  seemed  well 
pleased  with  the  entertainment. 

The  meeting  was  opened  with  a  moving  picture 
put  on  by  the  Tuberculosis  Association  of  Rochester 
and  Monroe  Coimty  in  the  interests  of  the  anti- 
tuberculosis campaign.  The  lesson  portrayed 
by  the  picture  was  supplemented  by  a  talk  on  this 
subject  by  Dr.  Sawjer.  Silent  Ledden,  who,  as 
his  nom-de-plumc  indicates,  is  a  mute,  mystified 
the  audience  with  his  sleight-of-hand  stunts.  Con- 
sidering the  fact  that  he  is  not  able  to  distract  the 
attention  of  the  audience  by  the  use  of  speech,  his 
performance  was  most  creditable.  Tiiree  comedy 
selections  were  sung  by  Mrs.  liiddle  and  Miss 
Florence  rendered  interpretations  wliich  were  well 
received.  The  Misses  Howard,  with  violin  and 
piano,  Arnold  and  Van  Zandt,  comedians,  and 
Bush  and  Busli,  with  their  wliistling  and  banjo 
selections,  contributed  to  make  up  the  \vell-l)alanced 
program. 


The  Premo  Club  orchestra  was  on  hand  with  its 
usual  spicy  music  and  even  little  Norma  Ransom 
couldn't  make  her  feet  behave.  She  delighted 
the  audience  by  getting  on  the  floor  and  dancing 
to  the  music.  Such  actions  made  Papa  Homer  a 
proud  daddy. 

William  Gerstner,  who  provided  the  numbers 
for  the  program,  is  entitled  to  a  great  deal  of  credit 
for  the  quality  of  entertainment  he  is  providing  for 
our  amusement  at  these  meetings. 


PEDRO 

The  January  Progressive  Pedro  party  brought 
out  a  large  number  of  employees  and  their  families 
and  friends.  These  parties  are  grownng  in  popu- 
larity, as  evidenced  by  the  number  who  attend 
regularly  and  the  new  faces  seen  each  month. 
Prizes  are  awarded  and  refreshments  are  served 
at  all  the  meetings.  For  those  who  wish  to  spend 
an  enjoyable  evening  with  their  Premo  friends,  our 
Premo  Pedro  parties  offer  a  fine  opportunity.

ERHART  HAFNER— and  one  of  his  hand-made  canes 

Erhart  Hafner,  of  the  Plant  Maintenance  Depart- 
ment, spends  his  spare  time  during  the  winter 
months  making  canes.  These  canes  are  built  from 
pieces  of  wood  and  of  scrap  leather,  which  are  cut 
into  one  and  one-half  inch  squares;  a  hole  is  drilled 
through  the  center  of  each  piece;  they  are  then  glued 
to  a  steel  rod,  clamped  down,  and  allowed  to  set 
for  about  six  hours.  This  process  is  repeated  until 
the  desired  length  of  cane  is  reached.  The  finishing- 
up  operation  consists  of  rounding,  sanding,  varnish- 
ing, and  putting  on  steel  tips. 

During  the  spring  and  s'lnmer,  Mr.  Hafner 
spends  his  spare  time  working  in  the  garden  among 
his  flowers.  He  started  his  service  at  Premo  in 
April,  1910,  in  the  Woodworking  Department, 
and  was  later  transferred  to  the  Plant  Maintenance 
Department.  

READ  THE  BULLETINS! 

After  we  had  posted  the  bulletins  announcing 
the  sale  of  candy  several  inquiries  were  made  as  to 
when  we  were  going  to  have  the  candy  for  sale. 
We  had  an  idea  that  every  Premoer  read  the 
bulletins,  but  we  are  now  under  the  impression 
that  there  are  a  few  who  do  not. 

Each  bulletin  bears  an  important  message  for 
every  one  of  us.  Watch  for  them — read  them 
carefully!  

CARRY  YOUR  PASS 

The  value  of  the  photographic  pass  which  is 
issued  to  all  employees  has  been  demonstrated 
quite  often.  On  several  occasions  the  Employ- 
ment Department  has  been  called  on  the  phone 
and  asked  if  Mr.  or  Miss  So  and  So  worked  at 
Premo,  and  whether  he  or  she — the  person  men- 
tioned— had  lost  a  pocketbook. 

Mae  Moore  of  the  Assembly  Department  lost 
her  pocketbook  during  a  noon  hour  around  the 
Christmas  holidays.  A  pupil  of  No.  15  school 
found  the  pocketbook  and  took  it  to  his  teacher, 
who  reported  the  find  to  the  Emplojinent  Depart- 
ment. Before  the  afternoon  was  over  the  pocket- 
book  was  restored  to  Miss  Moore  and  the  finder 
was  duly  rewarded. 

The  owner's  pass  was  in  the  pocketbook  and  it 
was  through  this  means  of  identification  that  the

WILLIAM  SCHULER 

The  man  in  charge  of  our  new  Job  Estimate 
Department  started  his  business  career  with  the 
Rochester  Camera  Company  on  Caledonia  Avenue, 
as  errand  boy. 

Because  of  his  desire  to  become  one  of  the  pro- 
ducers of  cameras  he  improved  every  opportunity 
to  learn  about  machinery  in  his  spare  time,  and  it 
was  not  long  before  he  was  placed  on  one  of  the 
machines  in  the  Machine  Department. 

When  the  plant  was  taken  over  by  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company,  "Bill"  was  transferred  to  the 
Premo  Division,  where  he  was  put  to  work  as  an 
apprentice  in  the  Tool  Department  and,  with  the 
help  of  a  course  at  Mechanics  Institute,  he  learned 
every  phase  of  tool  and  die  making  and  designing. 

Up  to  the  time  of  his  being  placed  in  charge  of 
the  Job  Estimate  Department,  Schuler  was  head 
of  the  Tool,  Metal  and  Press  Departments.  "Bill" 
has  been  thrifty  as  well  as  a  faithful  worker.  He 
owns  his  own  home  on  Momit  ^'ernon  Avenue  and 
has  a  happy  family — his  wife,  two  girls  and  two 
boys,  and  a  "flivver" — all  of  which  tends  to  keep 
his  time  well  occupied  outside  of  business  hours.

PREMO  GIRLS  SPEND  E^'EN^^G 
AT  THE  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

Premo  night  at  the  Young  Women's  Christian 
Association,  Tuesday  evening,  January  11th,  saw 
seventy-eight  Premo  girls  engaged  in  all  the  games 
and  sports  that  the  facilities  of  the  Association 
afford. 

To  start  off  the  evening  in  the  right  fashion,  the 
girls  sat  down  to  a  dinner  where  an  abundant  menu 
had  been  prepared  by  the  Association.  Miss  Fannie 
L.  KoUock.  the  general  secretary,  made  the  address 
of  welcome  to  our  girls  and  the  activities  of  the 
Association  were  explained  for  the  benefit  of  those 
who  had  never  had  the  opportunities  to  enjoy  them. 

The  girls  of  the  Premo  wish  to  take  this  oppor- 
tunity to  thank  the  representatives  of  the  Young 
Women's  Christian  Association  for  the  splendid 
social  evening  they  enjoyed.  Surely,  it  is  gather- 
ings of  this  sort  that  tend  to  create  a  truly  friendly 
spirit  among  the  girls. 


A  LITTLE  PARTY 

A  very  successful  party  was  held  at  the  home  of 
Harold  Clegg  on  a  recent  evening  by  the  employees 
of  the  Accessory  Department. 

The  events  of  the  evening  were  many  and  varied. 
as  were  the  eats.  After  the  luncheon  an  enter- 
taining program  was  given  by  Laura  Bardon,  Ger- 
trude Shu)|iway.  Kathryn  Perrin,  Ruth  Silvers. 
Irene  Carey.  Florence  Hale,  Julia  Adams  and  Grace 
Haskins. 

Featuring  the  evening  was  a  talk  on  his  war 
experiences  by  George  Emerick.  George  is  now 
working  hard,  both  at  the  Premo  and  on  his  farm 
in  Brighton. 

.\fter  this  interesting  talk  the  Accessory  Depart- 
ment trio,  consisting  of  George  Rake,  Harold  Clegg 
and  Walter  Martin,  rendered  a  selection  cntitlerl 
"Home  Sweet  Home.  "  after  which  all  took  the  liint 
and  left  for  home.  The  employees  want  to  thank 
Mrs.  Clegg  for  the  i)rivilege  of  holding  this  party 
at  her  residence,  as  all  had  a  splendid  time. 


TIME  FOR  CHOW? 
Have  you  ever  eaten  dinner  in  our  lunch  room? 
If  not,  just  try  it  once  and  we  are  sure  you  will 
come  again.  Speaking  of  quick  service,  do  you 
know  that  the  a\crage  eating  time  is  about  seven- 
teen minutes,  which  gives  you  {)lenty  of  time  to 
take  a  walk  out  into  the  fresh  air?  Our  food  is 
the  best  and  is  c-ooked  in  a  clean  and  sanitary 
kitchen.  You  have  all  .seen  it.  One  is  unable 
to  eat  so  cheaply  and  receive  such  quick  service  in 
downto^\Ti  restaurants.  So  why  not  eat  in  our 
dining    room?     Try    it. 


FRANK  SHERMAN  RE-ELECTED 

Frank  Sherman  was  again  elected  to  represent 
the  Premo  Workers  on  the  board  of  the  Kodak

ment, in  the  loss  of  his  sister,  Mrs.  Amelia  Marthage, 
who  passed  away  after  a  short  illness.  She  leaves 
her  husband  and  five  children. 


Albert  Young,  of  the  Assembly  Department, 
gave  us  some  surprise  when  he  quietly  married 
Julia  Court,  an  employee  of  the  Camera  Works. 
Their  friends  at  the  Premo  wish  them  the  best  of 
luck  and  a  happy  journey  through  life.

The  plan  of  combining  a  basketball  game  with 
the  regular  K.  O.  R.  C.  Dance  was  given  a  tryout 
on  January  28th  at  the  Masonic  Temple,  and  met 
with  such  great  favor  that  it  will  undoubtedly  be 
continued  for  the  balance  of  the  season. 


The  next  dance  will  be  held  on  February  25th  as 
scheduled,  but  the  one  annoimced  for  March  25th 
has  been  postponed  until  March  30th.  This  will 
be  the  last  dance  of  the  season;  so  don't  fail  to 
save  the  date  and  take  it  in.

Helen  Boyle,  of  the  Testing  and  Packing  Depart- 
ment, has  left  towTi  for  an  extended  visit  with 
relatives  in  Boston,  New  York,  Honesdale,  Pa., 
and  Newark,  N.  J. 


Irene  LaPIant  royally  entertained  a  number  of 
her  friends  (young  ladies)  at  her  home  on  Selye 
Terrace.     Irene  is  a  charming  hostess. 


Ray  Hyde's  cellar  was  visited  recently  by  three 
burglars.  After  successfully  ridding  the  cellar  of 
two  of  them,  he  locked  the  door  and  retired.  Upon 
entering  the  cellar  the  next  morning  he  foimd  that 
still  a  third  burglar,  who  had  been  locked  in,  had 
broken  the  lock  and  fled. 


The  sympathy  of  her  many  friends  is  extended  to 
Bertha  Sherwin,  of  the  Traffic  Department,  on  the 
loss  of  her  mother,  who  died  January  2nd. 


It  is  whispered  in  Kodak  circles  that  silk  hats  are 
coming  into   style. 

Don't  be  surprised  to  see  W.  H.  Durfee  wearing 
one  when  he  carries  the  beautifully  polished  iron- 
wood  cane  presented  to  him  as  a  Christmas  present 
by  the  employees  of  the  Testing  and  Packing 
Department.  The  cane  is  ivory  tipped  and  on  a 
gold  circlet  are  engraved  the  initials  W.  H.  D. 

The  gift  was  attractively  wrapped  and  decorated 
with  an  artistic  arrangement  of  red  satin  and  holly. 
"Pop"  expressed  his  appreciation  of  the  gift  in  his 
usual  happy  manner. 


Katherine  Faulkner  contracted  scarlet  fever 
just  before  Christmas  and  spent  the  holidays 
convalescing.  Tough  luck,  Katie.  However, 
"absence  makes  the  heart  grow  fonder,"  and  we 
are  glad  to  see  your  smiling  countenance  again. 


Old  Santa  Claus  was  pretty  good  to  Charles

Hahnemann  Hospital  on  Friday,  December  17th,

Albert  Strong,  who  was  away  from  us  for  seven 
weeks  with  an  infected  hand,  has  finally  recovered 
and  once  more  sheds  the  light  of  his  countenance 
upon  us.  

The  twelfth  floor  held  an  Old  Home  Week  between 
Christmas  and  New  Year.  First,  Branch  Kinney 
drifted  in  looking  exceedingly  well  for  anyone 
who  had  suffered  such  a  long  illness.  Branch  is 
improving  and  we  hope  that  it  will  not  be  a  great 
while  before  he  is  again  with  us.  Next,  Mabel 
Carr  called.  Mabel  claims  that  she  has  been 
seriously  ill,  but  we  have  been  on  earth  too  long 
to  be  taken  in  with  any  such  story.  She  certainly 
looks  as  fresh  as  a  daisy  and  as  blooming  as  a  rose. 
Seriously,  Mabel  has  really  had  a  long  hard  siege 
of  it,  and  it  will  be  .several  weeks  yet  before  she 
will  be  able  to  return  to  work.

eleven  years  in  the  Testing  and  Packing  Depart- 
ment, and  resigned  recently  to  keep  house  with 
hubby,  has  not  forgotten  us,  and  proved  it  by 
sending  us  some  lovely  verses,  which  we  all  read 
and   appreciated.     We    haven't    forgotten    Lois. 

I  desire  to  express  my  appreciation  through  you 
for  the  kind  treatment  I  received  at  the  company's 
hands  while  I  was  laid  up  for  so  many  weeks  and 
unable  to  be  at  the  Office.  I  assure  you  I  appreciate 
this  exceedingly  and  also  want  to  thank  the  Visiting 
Nurse  for  her  interest  in  my  behalf. 

Yours  very  truly.

HARRY  IRWIN  TO  SERVE  SECOND  TERM 

The  Main  Office  election  held  on  January  11th, 
to  choose  a  representative  for  the  Kodak  Em- 
ployees Association  for  the  coming  year,  resulted 
in  the  choice  of  Harry  S.  Irwin  of  the  Shipping 
Department,  for  a  second  term. 

Mr.  Irwin,  who  has  just  completed  his  first  year 
of  representation,  was  the  successful  candidate  in 
a  field  of  six,  with  a  total  vote  of  more  than  double 
that  of  his  nearest  competitor. 


John  E.  Merchant,  who  has  been  employed  in 
the  Shipping  Department  for  nearly  fifteen  years, 
and  has  been  in  charge  of  the  Parcel  Post  room  for 
some  time,  left  the  company  January  1st  to  enter 
business  for  himself.  Everybody  knew  Jack,  and 
everybody  joins  in  wishing  him  success.  His 
genial  presence  and  cheerful  line  of  chatter  will  be 
greatly  missed. 

William  Back,  assistant  foreman  of  the  Domestic 
Shipping  room,  has  been  promoted  to  Jack's 
position. 


It's  pretty  hard  nowadays  to  find  grown-up  men 
who  believe  in  Santa  Claus,  but  you  can't  tell 
Gerard  Garcia  and  Jack  Schroeder,  of  the  Domestic 
Shipping  room,  that  the  old  chap  isn't  real.  Jack 
got  an  eight-pound  boy  and  Gerard  a  ten-pound 
girl. 


Frank  Pellett,  of  the  Domestic  Shipping  Depart- 
ment, is  spending  a  month's  leave  of  absence  in 
Elgin,  Kansas.  On  his  return  he  will  be  accom- 
panied by  his  brand  new  bride,  formerly  Geraldine 
Hall,  of  the  Parcel  Post  Department.

Rosalia  Cirotzki  is  receiving  the  congratulations 
of  the  employees  of  the  Testing  and  Packing  Depart- 
ment upon  the  receipt  of  a  check  for  a  substantial 
sum  from  the  Suggestion  Committee.  Rosalia 
sent  in  a  suggestion  early  last  year  which  has  since 
proved  to  be  a  valuable  one,  resulting  in  a  saving 
of  dollars  and  cents  to  the  company  and  a  third 
check  to  Rosalia,  the  originator  of  the  idea. 

$337.62  have  been  paid  by  the  company  for  this 
idea.     Rosalia,  let  the  good  work  continue. 

And  this  .should  l)e  an  incentive  for  some  of  the 
other  employees  in  the  Testing  and  Packing  Depart- 
ment to  put  their  ideas  to  work. 


The  Main  Office  is  surely  proud  of  the  girls' 
basketball  team.  Occasionally  they  come  in  with 
sprained  fingers,  bruises,  and  disfigured  lips,  but 
always  looking  forward  to  the  next  game  and 
victorv.  Keep  up  the  good  work,  girls,  for  the 
K.  O.  R.  C.  

Otto  Rickert,  electrician  in  the  Maintenance 
Department,  has  returned  after  an  absence  of  six- 
months.     Everybody  is  glad  to  see  Otto  back  again. 


Mrs.  A.  Studley,  who  was  injured  in  an  auto- 
mobile accident  about  three  months  ago,  has 
recovered  and  is  back  with  us  again. 


Ruth  Kimmel  was  hostess  at  a  farewell  party 
given  by  the  girls  of  the  basketball  team  for  their 
captain,  Helen  Gentry,  who  left  for  a  stay  in  the 
Adirondacks. 

In  spite  of  the  sorrow  which  farewells  invariably 
cause,  everything  was  done  to  make  the  event  a 
banner  occasion. 

Clara  Efford  and  Annabelie  Hazell  gave  some 
demonstrations  of  the  Black  Art,  thereby  amazing 
their  audience  to  the  point  of  suspicion. 

Emma  Smith,  assisted  by  Marion  Pohl,  presided 
over  a  very  delightful  luncheon,  served  in  the 
wee  sma'  hours,  while  Anna  Darcy  delighted  the 
entire  party  by  her  selections  on  the  player  piano. 

Taken  as  a  whole  or  in  any  part,  the  party  was  a 
decided  success. 


Agnes  Opdyke  is  back,  to  smile  up  at  us  again, 
after  her  three  months'  rest.  We  like  "smiles" 
like  hers  to  make  us  happy. 


Lillian  Cowan  has  returned  after  an  absence 
of  six  weeks.  We  are  glad  to  have  her  back  witli 
us  once  more.  

Our  heartfelt  sympathy  is  extended  to  Julius 
Erickson,  of  the  Demonstrating  Staff,  on  the  death 
of  his  wife.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Erickson,  who.se  home 
is  in  Kansas  City,  were  both  seriously  injured  in  a 
trolley  car  accident.  Mrs.  Erickson  died  shorli,\- 
after  and  Mr.  Erickson  is  now  in  Hot  S|)rings 
recovering  from  a  nervous  condition  which  followed 
the  accident.  We  all  feel  very  deeply  for  Mr. 
Erickson  in  his  misfortune  and  hope  that  he  will  be 
speedily  restored  to  health. 


Thirty-four  Kodak  Office  employees  are  attending 
a  special  course  in  business  English  supervised  by 
Ernest  R.  Clark,  head  of  the  English  Department 
of  East  High  School.  We  are  glad  to  hear  that  so 
many  Kodak  Office  people  are  availing  themselves 
of  this  opportunity. 


Although  the  Kodak  Office  girls'  basketball 
team  lost  the  first  two  games  they  played,  they 
have  since  been  doing  some  good  hard  practicing 
and  have  now  rounded  up  into  a  first-class  girls' 
team,  with  .several  victories  to  their  credit.  The 
standing  of  the  first  five  games  the  girls  have 
played  is  as  follows:  December  7th,  Kodak  Office 
girls  vs.  Hawk-Eye  girls.  This  game,  which 
was  a  preliminary  to  the  Hawk-Eye-Kodak  Office 
men's  game,  was  won  by  Hawk-P^ye  with  a  score 
of  1-1-4.  The  second  game  was  played  with  Premo 
on  December  25th,  1920,  as  a  preliminary  to  the 
Bausch  &  Lomb-Syracuse  Y.  M.  H.  A.,  and  ended 
M'ith  a  22-2  score  in  favor  of  Premo.  The  next 
game  was  a  victory  for  Kodak  Office  girls.  It 
was  played  with  Bastian  Brothers  on  December 
29th  as  a  preliminary  to  the  game  of  the  Centrals 
vs.  a  Toronto  team.  The  score  was  9-4.  On 
January  1st  our  girls  won  a  victory  over  the  girls' 
team  of  the  Rochester  Stamping  Company  with  a 
9-2  score.  This  game  was  played  as  a  preliminary 
to  a  girls'  game  between  the  Reflectors  and  the 
North  Rose  Team.  The  team  played  the  next 
game  as  a  preliminary  to  our  boys'  game  (Kodak 
Office  vs.  Selden's)  on  January  4th.  This  game 
was  played  with  the  Todd  Team  and  gave  our  girls 
a  victorious  score  of  7-1.

A  RATHER  I-NIQTT:  USE 
FOR  THE  GRAFLEX  CAMERA 

An  observer  of  things  in  general,  while  paying  a 
\'isit  to  Niagara  Falls  during  the  past  summer, 
ran  across  a  photographer  with  a  Graflex  Camera. 
Upon  entering  into  conversation  with  the  photog- 
rapher as  to  the  advantages  of  the  Graflex,  he  was 
much  surprised  to  learn  it  was  not  scenery  which 
was  being  photographed,  but  the  feet  and  ankles 
of  tourists.  The  photographer  explained  that  he 
was  working  for  a  company  making  correctional 
appliances  for  misformed  feet.  The  pictures  were 
to  be  used  for  exhibition  purposes  to  show  the 
prevalence  of  malformation  in  feet  and  ankles, 
which  his  company  considered  the  most  con\-incing 
argument  to  be  placed  before  the  public.  He 
voiced  the  opinion — "With  the  Graflex  one  can 
take  anvthing."

THE  BEST  SUGGESTION  FOR  SAFETY 


Do  you  know  John  Nicolette? 

John  is  one  of  those  fellows  who  ihinhs  while 
working,  with  the  result  that  he  is  a  richer  man, 
not  only  in  money,  but  in  the  knowledge  that  he  is 
helping  to  save  men's  fingers  from  being  crushed 
and  amputated. 


JOHN  NICOLETTE 

The  punch  press  is  about  the  most  dangerous 
machine  the  average  factory  operates.  When  the 
world  woke  up  to  the  fact  that  something  had  to 
be  done  to  conserve  the  human  body,  we  were 
taught  to  do  things  safely.  This  method  was  not 
enough,  and  it  was  discovered  that  we  had  to  be 
made  safe  by  laws  enacted  through  legislation,  and 
by  devices  applied  to  machinery.  The  manage- 
ment of  the  Camera  Works  has  always  been  ready 
to  adopt  new  devices  and  systems  for  the  comfort  of 
its  employees  and  one  of  the  main  arteries  through 
which  safety  ideas  can  be  tested  i.s — the  Suggestion 
System. 

John  Nicolette  knew  the  foregoing  facts.  He 
also  knew  that  our  plant  is  equipped  with  the  most 
modern  safety  precautions,  and  yet,  people  were 
being  injured,  particidarly  those  on  press  work,  in 
spite  of  the  fact  that  each  machine  is  equipped  with 
wing  guards  which  throw  the  operator's  hand  away 
from  the  die.  To  all  appearances,  the  presses 
equipped  with  these  guards  are  the  climax  of  safety. 
So  they  ar^providing  THE  PRESS  IS  FED 
STRAIGHT.  Accidents  to  fingers  still  occur. 
Between  January  and  April  we  had  twenty  press 
accidents,  resulting  in  large  losses  to  the  operators 
and  the  company. 

Upon  investigation  as  to  why  accidents  occur, 
it  was  found  that  some  operators,  in  their  hurry 


to  make  record  production,  reached  around  the 
guard.  Nine  accidents,  directly  due  to  this  careless 
method  of  working  happened  within  four  months. 
Think  of  it!  Nine  men  with  mutilated  hands  for 
life,  loss  of  wages  to  their  family,  loss  of  production 
to  the  company,  and  a  cash  loss  to  the  people  of  the 
State  of  New  York  of  two  thousand  eight  hundred 
fifty-one  dollars  expended  for  compensation. 
Everyone  loses  through  an  accident.  Therefore, 
everyone  is  indebted  to  people  like  John  Nico- 
lette, who  suggest  a  safety  device  for  the  prevention 
of  accidents. 

In  order  to  lessen  the  possibilitj*  of  reaching 
around  the  guard  John  suggested  a  side  wing, 
which  is  now  installed  on  a  hundred  and  five  Bliss 
power  presses. 

The  first  four  months  after  installation  of  the 
side  wing  guard  accidents  were  reduced  from  nine 
to  none. 

Result — an  award  of  one  hundred  dollars  and  a 
possible  additional  award  if  the  splendid  decrease 
in  accidents,  due  to  side  wing  guards,  is  maintained. 

It  doesn't  require  an  elaborate  idea  to  get  a  big 
reward.  Often  the  simple  ones  are  the  most  valu- 
able. John  Nicolette  didn't  have  to  be  a  high 
school  graduate,  or  a  draftsman,  or  a  machinist, 
to  get  his  idea  across. 

Ideas  count. 

Surely  you  have  some  to  give  us.

WHAT  THE  BOWLING  PINS  THINK  ABOUT 


KO-DA-KAM  BOWLING  LEAGUE 

That 


(Office) 

Irene  Wilson  and  Irene  Davis  are  strong  for 

marbles. 
— Agnes  Darcy  would  make  a  good  basketball 

player. 
— Doris  Rogers,  Betty  Yeager   and    Mildred 

Reiter  are  in  love  with  the  foul  line. 
— Edith,    Florence     and     Alma    Waterstraat 

specialize  in  juggling. 
— Mary  Fennel  is  great  on  sliding. 
— Helen  White  would  be  a  good  advertisement 

for  a  clock  pendulum. 
— Agnes  Hart  poses,  and  deposes  the  pins. 
— Edna  Joy  and  Grace  Dean  do  us  homage  by 

their  grand  flourishes. 
— -Loretta  Hogan's  ball  reminds  us  of  "ultra- 
rapid"  {'t)  movies. 
— Theresa    Megerle    should    know — according 

to  Hoyle — that  the  floor  is  meant  for  feet. 
— The  benches  should  be  moved  to  make  more 

room  for  Gene  Klink  and  Delia  Meerdink. 
— It's  a  case  of  "head  and  feet  up"  when  Elsie 

Manzek  throws  the  ball. 
— The  Ko-da-kam  Bowling  League — an  infant 

— has  a  promising  and  bright  future. 


CAT^IERA  GIRLS'  BOWLING  LEAGUE 

(Factory) 

Florence  Rosch — kno^Ti  as  "Cookie" — made  a 
strike  last  week,  but — "mistakes  will  happen!" 

"Red"  Baker  does  pretty  well,  except  for  the 
fact  that  she  received  a  bill  from  the  Manager  of 
the  Genesee  Recreation  Company  for  cracking 
the  alleys. 

Laura  Musson  is  a  great  little  bowler,  and  has  a 
fine  swing. 

Lorraine  Sells  is  p^o^•ing  a  valuable  bowler,  but 
we  can't  afford  to  have  her  squeeze  her  fingers 
when  playing. 

If  Bertha  Schmitt  could  control  her  "beautiful 
hook  ball,"  as  Leo  Nowack — our  manager — calls 
it,  she  would  be  bowling  three  hundred. 

Peggj'  Murphy  is  good  at  basketball,  but  she 
will  have  to  speed  up  to  line  up  with  the  rest  of 
her  team.  

MEN'S  BO^M.ING  LEAGUE 

George  Kraus  appears  to  be  the  best  bowler  in 
the  Camera  Works  League.  His  average,  to  date, 
is  194-23  for  thirty-six  games.  Good  for  you, 
George! 

"Ace"  W'ilcox,  the  shining  light  of  the  foremen's 
team  last  year,  is  not  showing  up  in  his  usual  form. 
His  average  tells  us  166-2.  Come  on,  Walter,  we 
know  you  can  do  better. 

Albert  Kolb  is  running  his  team-mate,  Harry 
^^tokes,  a  close  race  for  individual  honors. 

Charles  Collins  has  jumped  the  Camera  Works 
League  and  joined  the  "Ups  and  Dowtis."  The 
boys  miss  "Charlie,"  who  is  a  real  "old  timer"  at 
bowling. 

"Dan"  McCullock  is  boasting  that  the  Office 
team  is  going  into  first  place  before  the  season  is 
ended.  Secretary  Frank  Bisnett  would  like  to 
know  Dan's  method  of  figuring. 


The  boys  of  the  Camera  Works  League  have 
promoted  a  little  scheme  to  keep  everyone  inter- 
ested in  his  scores.  The  highest  man  each  night 
of  playing  receives  a  gold  watch  fob,  which  is  paid 
for  by  everyone  in  the  league. 

William  O'Neill  was  the  first  recipient,  with  a 
score  of  257.  To  date  eleven  bowlers  are  wearing 
the  trophy. 


UPS  AND  DOWNS  BOWLING  LEAGUE 

The  boys  don't  mind  being  trimmed  by  the 
"Chief,"  but  objections  become  vociferous  when 
he  rubs  it  in  with  a  215  average  for  the  evening. 
If  Charles  Collins  were  your  name  and  P.  A. 
your  vocation,  would  you  do  the  same  to  those  of 
humbler  station.^ 


When  it  comes  to  the  Brown  Derby  and  the 
"long  green,"  competition  ceases — for  Donald 
McCullock  always  gathers  in  both. 


It's  too  bad  we  are  not  gifted  with  several  middle 
fingers!  The  little  finger  is  a  poor  substitute. 
At  least  Herbert  Collins  finds  it  so. 


If  Jim  Curtiss  has  a  few  more  substitutes,  his 
average  should  be  good  enough  to  show  his 
grandchildren. 


The  famous  Bob  Forge  can  show  'em  all  some- 
thing in  "cork-screws."  You  should  see  that  ball 
"snake"  its  way  down  the  alley.  We  rather  suspect 
that  cranking  a  Ford  has  something  to  do  with  it. 


For  a  "south-paw"  we  hand  it  to  Jack  Carrol. 
He  keeps  pretty  well  up  on  the  Downs,  but  we 
have  a  hunch  he's  rather  down  on  the  Ups,  'cause 
when  the  Downs  are  up  he  reminds  us  of  a  Christ-

It's  a  good  thing  for  Leslie  Hammond  that 
Charles  Collins  furnishes  a  ball.  We  hate  to  think 
of  the  result  without  a  generous  boss. 


The  girls  of  the  Covering  Department  tendered 
a  farewell  party  to  Gussie  Bornkessel  on  December 
the  31st.  At  noon  a  delightful  luncheon  was  served 
by  the  young  ladies  of  the  Department,  after 
which  George  Schrier,  of  the  Assembling  Depart- 
ment, sang  several  .solos  and  Margaret  McDonald 
gave  a  solo  dance.  Gussie  was  presented  with  a 
very  beautiful  remembrance,  accompanied  by  a 
neat  little  speech  from  Ruth  Bowiuan.  Gussie 
Bornkessel  left  on  January  2nd  for  Los  Angeles, 
where  she  will  stay  for  four  months. 


Have  you  .seen  our  girls'  basketball  team  play 
lately.^  My  goodness!  it's  a  fine  affair.  All 
equipped  with  new  togs.  *n  everything.  Basketball 
is  fast  coming  to  the  front  in  sportdom,  and  our 
girls,  managed  by  Mable  Kane,  and  coached  by 
Alljert  Frank,  are  well  to  the  fore.  Stroll  out  some 
evening  and  watch  them  play.     It's  worth  while.

OUT  OF  THE  "ASH-CAN" 

Did  you  hear  about  Jack  Ruscher,  Kodak  Assem- 
bly, and  his  "ash-barrel"  chicken?  It  sounds  like 
a  fiction  story,  but  it's  perfectly  true.  John  had 
an  egg  which  looked  so  unlike  a  regular  one  that 
he  consigned  it  to  the  ash-barrel.  The  tiny  occu- 
pant of  the  egg,  however,  refused  to  give  up  what- 
ever ghosts  unhatched  chickens  are  supposed  to 
possess,  and  the  biped  began  a  life  struggle. 

The  shell  cage  was  finally  broken  enough  for  a 
thin  "peep,"  "peep"  to  x-ibrate  through  the  air 
and  reach  the  ears  of  Jack,  who  happened  to  be 
strolling  around  the  back  yard.  "Chickie"  was 
hustled  from  her  cinder  bed  to  a  comparative  bed 
of  roses,  in  the  shape  of  a  warm  oven  and  a  flannel 
blanket. 

The  struggle  was  won!  "Chickie"  grew  to  full 
chickenhood,  and  Jack  being  a  member  of  the 
Camera  Works  Breeders'  Association,  entered  the 
bird  in  the  Genesee  Valley  Show.  Behold,  the 
discarded  pullet  wearing  a  ribbon  of  blue  and  gold, 
announcing  to  the  world  that  she  was  acclaimed 
as  the  finest  in  her  particular  strain  of  poultry. 
Jack  sold  the  prize  winner  for  the  goodly  sum  of 
$75,  which  all  goes  to  show  that  even  a  chick  may 
be  a  fatalist  when  she  realizes  that  hers  is  a  career 
from  an  ash-barrel  to  a  blue  ribbon. 


The  boys  and  girls  of  the  Shutter  Department 
extend  their  sympathy  to  William  Schubert  on  the 
loss  of  his  baby  girl,  aged  10  weeks. 


MAY  THE  BEST  MAN  WIN 

Irene  Frank  and  Fred  Zimmerman,  of  the  Engi- 
neering Department,  both  have  the  right  idea.  You 
know  the  -wTetched  feeling  you  experience  when 
you  oversleep,  or  miss  a  street  car,  or  break  a  shoe 
lace,  or  do  something  which  causes  you  to  register 
late!  By  the  looks  of  things  Irene  and  Fred  must 
have  felt  this  pretty  acutely,  for  a  bet  was  made 
consisting  of  a  box  of  candy  to  a  box  of  cigars  that 
one  of  the  punctuality  records  would  be  better 
than  the  other.  Who  won.^  Well,  Fred  got  the 
cigars.  Let  us  hope  he  doesn't  regret  having  been 
more  punctual  than  Irene,  for  you  know  how  some 
Christmas  cigars  taste.  Irene,  however,  was  wise, 
for  she  requested  one  of  the  male  sex  to  purchase 
the  cigars. 


In  last  month's  issue  of  the  Magazine  we  spoke  of 
a  class  in  Amateur  Photography,  which  is  being 
planned  to  operate  from  the  Industrial  Relations 
Department,  under  the  leadership  of  Fred  W 
Brehm.  There  has  been  some  delay  in  getting- 
things  started,  owing  to  the  installation  of  the 
developing    tanks    being    held    up    for    necessary 


accessories. 


This  instruction  class  will  be  open  to  employees, 
and  should  prove  an  instructive  and  interesting 
hobby.  Bulletins  will  be  posted  as  soon  as  the 
working  equipment  is  installed,  and  the  classes 
will  start  as  soon  as  possible.

COCK-A-DOODLE  -DOO 


Did  you  visit  Exposition  Park  at  any  time 
between  the  third  and  the  eighth  of  January? 
If  you  did,  you  saw  some  of  the  finest  feathered 
aristocrats  in  the  country;  but  if  you  didn't,  the 
outline  following  is  well  worth  reading,  and  a  word 
in  your  ear,  make  a  memorandum  for  next  January 
to  spend  an  hour  or  two  "looking  'em  over." 

The  Second  Annual  Exhibition  of  the  Camera 
Works  Breeders'  Association  was  held  in  conjunction 
with  the  Genesee  Valley  Poultry  Association,  thus 
competing  for  the  Genesee  prizes,  and  also  for 
the  special  prizes  and  ribbons  from  the  Recreation 
Club.     We  are  proud  to  say  that  our  boys  made  a 


wonderful  showing,  special  credit  going  to  Jack 
Ruscher.  One  of  his  birds,  a  Rhode  Island  Red 
pullet,  was  judged  as  the  finest  bird  from  over  five 
himdred  entries.  ^Mlen  you  read  that  from  a 
total  of  ninety-one  exhibits  which  the  Breeders" 
Association  had,  they  were  awarded  fortj'-three 
prizes,  you  will  begin  to  realize  what  experts  we 
have  in  the  Camera  Works. 

Space  does  not  permit  us  to  show  you  all  the 
pictures  of  the  fine  specimens  of  poultry  owned 
by  our  boys,  but  the  following  information  will 
give  you  some  idea  as  to  how  the  Camera  Workers 
"cleaned    up:" 


First  Prize  Single  Comb  Ancona,  owned  by  Albert  T.  Frank. 

(Notice  the  white  V-shaped  tips  at  the  end  of  the  tail). 

This   bird   is   almost   perfect   and    is   very   valuable.

and  the  thanks  of  the  members  are  extended  to  the

also  to  the  Genesee  Valley  Poultry  Association  for 
its  valuable  educational  services. 


SAFETY  CONVENTION 


In  the  last  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine  we 
promised  to  give  our  readers  a  digest  of  the  reports 
from  the  fourteen  delegates  of  the  Camera  Works 
who  attended  the  Safety  Convention  at  Syracuse. 

It  is  always  interesting  to  read  the  opinions  of 
those  who  work  with  us,  especially  when  the  topic 
reaches  us  first-hand.  W^e  should  all  know  some- 
thing as  to  the  ultimate  aim  of  modern  industries, 
co-operating  with  State  Commissions  concerning 
Safety,  and  the  more  we  know  about  it  the 
greater  missionaries  we  shall  become  in  this  all- 
important  work. 

Richard  Jennings  gives  us  the  following  contri- 
bution: "One  fact  brought  out  by  actual  test  is 
that  dull  tools  cause  many  accidents."  Another — 
"Workmen  invite  accidents  by  wearing  shoes  that 
have  outlived  their  usefulness."  Surely  these  are 
two  salient  points  in  accident  prevention. 

Walter  May  tells  us  that  "A  large  percentage  of 
accidents  among  women  is  caused  from  wearing 
high  lieels  on  shoes." 


Grayson  Helbing  states:  "Each  individual  should 
be  constantly  instructed  and  reminded  of  the 
dangers  he  is  likely  to  encoimter,  and  everyone 
should  become  an  instructor  to  his  or  her 
fellow  workman." 

Earl  Carson  quotes  the  State  Educational  Bureau 
as  saying  that  there  are,  at  present,  in  the  State 
of  New  York,  381,000  people  who  are  unable  to 
read  or  write  their  names.  "This  is  one  of  the  big 
problems  that  the  Safety  Supervisor  is  up  against 
in  trying  to  put  across  Safety  to  these  people  who 
cannot  understand  the  danger  of  being  careless." 

We  are  fortunate  in  this  plant  in  having  no 
such  deplorable  state  of  affairs  to  cope  with, 
but  we  should  carry  our  safety  ideas  outside  of  the 
plant,  and  help  those  who  cannot  help  themselves. 

Roland  McDonald  says  that  physical  examination 
is  a  big  factor  in  safety,  especially  regarding  eye- 
sight. No  man  or  woman  should  be  placed  in  a 
hazardous  position  without  first  being  fitted  with 
proper  glasses.

"HERB"  ROGERS  RE-ELECTED 

The  election  for  a  Director  on  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Kodak  Employees  Association  was 
almost  a  foregone  conclusion  in  the  matter  of  the 
nomination.  S.  Herbert  Rogers  has  filled  the 
important  office  so  efficiently  during  the  first  year 
of  the  Association  that  his  election  was  practically 
unanimous  from  the  start.  Frank  C.  O'Brien, 
of  the  Woodworking  Department,  received  a  nom- 
inating vote,  but  retired  in  favor  of  "Herb,"  thus 
leaving  a  clear  field,  with  no  necessity  for  a  general 
election. 

S.  Herbert  Rogers  is  also  an  officer  of  the  Eastman 
Sa%'ings  and  Loan  Association. 


Two  of  the  boys  of  the  Folding  Brownie  Depart- 
ment are  wearing  extra  happy  smiles.  Roy  Bacon 
and  William  Gargan  are  to  be  congratulated  on 
additions  to  their  families,  as  each  has  received  a 
New  Year's  present  of  a  baby  boy. 


The  Ko-da-kam  Bowling  Girls  had  a  little  supper 
at  the  Odenbach  on  January  12th  and  then  ad- 
journed to  the  Temple  Theatre.  It  is  evidently 
well  worth  while  to  join  these  bowling  aggregations. 

Note. — The  Odenbach  orchestra  leader  showed 
keen  appreciation  of  the  girls'  \'isit  by  playing: 
"Good-bye  Girls,  I'm  Through,"  as  they  were 
Iea\nng  for  the  Temple. 


Elmer  Humes  is  quite  an  adept  at  conducting  a 
jazz  orchestra.  We  heard  it  at  oiu-  office  men's 
banquet,  and  also  in  the  dining  room  during  one 
noon  hour.  There  is  a  promising  field  for  music 
of  the  dance  variety  among  the  younger  set,  and 
Elmer  and  his  little  gang  should  l)e  heard  from  more 
often.  

The  Tool  Room  is  to  be  congratulated  on  the 
prospects  of  an  inter-divisional  company  marriage. 
William  McDonald  is  engaged  to  May  Everson 
of  the  Hawk-Eye  Works,  and  George  Grinnan  is 
engaged  to  Lois  Lane  of  Kodak  Park. 


We  are  indebted  to  Gilbert  M.  Roberts,  of  the 
Brass  Department,  for  a  wonderful  silk  picture  of 
the  official  badge  of  the  Recreation  Club.  Gilbert 
has  been  sick  for  some  time,  and  is  now  recuperating 
at  Raybrook.  The  officers  of  the  Club  wish  to 
express  their  appreciation  of  the  handsome  gift, 
which  is  now  hung  in  the  Industrial  Relations 
Department.  

Clara  Bohn,  of  the  Woodworking  Department, 
sailed  for  a  trip  to  (iermany  on  January  22nd. 
Also,  Fred  Drury  is  visiting  his  folks  in  England. 
Their  many  friends  wish  them  "bon  voyage." 


We  notice  a  very  nice  diamond  on  the  left  hand 
of  Minnie  Griffin,  who  works  in  the  Wood  Assem- 
bling Department.     Best  wishes,  Minnie. 


The  Photostat  Department  loses  an  old  friend 
in  James  Shaffer,  who  has  been  transferred  to  the 
Brass  Department,  where  lie  will  have  charge  of 
the  operators  in  Building  No.  2.  Best  wishes  for 
success  go  with  "Jim." 


LEGAL  ADVICE 

Possibly  the  most  dreaded  part  of  a  man's  business 
affairs  is  "seeing  a  lawjer."  There  is  something 
so  stern  and  awesome  about  the  law  to  the  average 
man  that  he  takes  chances  rather  than  get  profes- 
sional opinions. 

In  contradiction  to  this  idea,  have  you  ever 
had  cause  to  visit  the  Legal  Department  of  the 
company.^  This  is  a  service  which  does  not  appear 
to  be  generally  known.  Employees  are  entitled  to 
ask  for  legal  advice.  It  is  given  to  you,  freely, 
by  a  courteous  gentleman,  whose  aim  is  to  make 
you  "feel  at  home."  This  privilege  is  a  very 
valuable  one  and  is  the  means  of  sa\-ing,  not  only 
fees,  but  often  time.  Do  not  hesitate  to  use  the 
Legal  Department!  Appointments  can  be  made 
upon  application  to  the  Industrial  Relations 
Department,  Building  No.  4. 


We  e.xtend  to  George  Toates,  of  the  Creasing 
Department,  our  sj-mpathy  on  the  death  of  his 
mother,  Januarv  2nd. 


A  shower  was  given  to  another  one  of  the 
"Covering"  girls.  This  time  it  was  Edith  Strus- 
senberg.  Good  luck  to  you,  Edith.  It  seems  to 
be  a  popular  pastime  to  give  showers  among  our 
girls  in  the  Camera  Works,  and  especially  in  the 
Covering  Department.  The  chances  are  great 
that  this  favorite  sport  will  be  repeated,  for  Lucinda 
Peters,  Anna  Sailer  and  Bertha  Deisenroth  all 
received  diamond  rings  as  Christmas  presents. 
Santa  Claus  surely  is  good  to  some  people. 


The  great  indoor  sport  of  "kidding"'  hits  high 
spots  at  times,  even  running  as  high  as  Frank 
O'Brien.  Frank  has  a  faculty  for  "speech  making." 
and  was  delegated  to  Syracuse  Safety  Convention 
to  take  part  in  topical  discussions.  A  few  of 
Frank's  kind  pals,  also  exponents  of  the  gentle 
art  of  "pulling  your  leg,"  sent  him  a  fish's  head, 
neatly  packed,  addressed  to  the  "Irish  Orator — 
P.  D.  Q.,  SjTacuse."  Inserted  was  a  letter  bearing 
the  sage  advice  of  "Go  easy  at  first,  and  when  they 
bite,  just  throw  out  your  chest  with  all  your  might, 
for  the  worst  they  can  do  is  to  say — Good  Night  I" 
Frank  has  an  idea  that  "Bob"  Kroedell  at  least 
knows  who  did  it,  but  the  Engineering  bimch  is  a 
deep  lot  to  survey. 


Jack  Preston,  Henry  Dengel,  Charles  Gebhard 
are  away  on  leave  of  absence  due  to  ill  health. 
Jack  is  due  to  return,  having  made  considerable 
progress  within  the  last  few  weeks.  Tiie  boys  in 
the  Woodworking  Department  are  anxious  to  see 
the  |)opular  trio  back  again,  and  wish  them  tlie 
best  of  heaitli  in  the  future. 


One  hundred  and  five  employees  from  the  Camera 
Works  have  registered  to  attend  a  Safety  Course 
at  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  Last  year  there 
were  twenty-three. 

This  speaks  well  for  the  progressive  spirit  of  the 
State  Street  plant.

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


A  REVIEW  OF  OUR  GREATEST  PLANT  ASSET 


The  end  of  this  month — February — will  complete 
a  period  of  two  years  of  employees'  representation 
in  this  plant.  Last  year,  at  this  time,  a  referendum 
vote  was  taken  throughout  the  factory  as  to  the 
advisability  of  the  Representative  Plan,  and  the 
result  was  a  large  majority  in  favor  of  its  contin- 
uance. The  past  year  has  more  than  verified  that 
opinion,  and  as  time  goes  on,  the  desirability  of 
mutual  understanding  between  the  management 
and  the  employees  is  becoming  more  apparent, 
and  the  good  fellowship  arising  from  straight- 
from-the-shoulder  methods  of  business  is  appre- 
ciated from  all  angles. 

The  Representative  Plan  is  possibly  the  greatest 
one  thing  that  affects  all  workers,  whether  he  or 
she  be  manager,  superintendent,  foreman,  operator, 
or  clerk.  Consequently,  it  is  most  important  that 
we  understand  thoroughly  each  other's  point  of 
view,  and  also  the  varied  conditions  under  which 
we  earn  our  daily  bread.  It  seems  almost  impos- 
sible to  treat  everyone  alike  when  we  consider  the 
thousand  and  one  different  jobs  we  do.  After  all, 
however,  it's  just  a  question  of  "laying  our  cards 
on  the  table,"  and  letting  the  other  fellow  obtain 
some  of  the  good  things  by  shouldering  a  share  of 
the   responsibilities.     None   of   us   can   expect   to 


"JIM"  SHERIDAN  SIGNS  A  RECRUIT 

Congratulations  to  "Manager  Jim  Sheridan," 
of  the  Folding  Brownie  indoor  baseball  team,  on 
the  addition  to  his  family.  Jim  was  presented 
with  a  baby  boy  a  few  days  ago.  Papa  Sheridan 
would  like  to  sign  up  Baby  Jim  on  his  team,  but 


JAMES  SHERIDAN 
the  boys  think  it  might  result  in  their  losing  a  game, 
which,  to  date,  has  not  happened  to  the  Brownies. 
They  anticipate  winning  whatever  trophy  is  offered, 
and  will  ask  Jim  to  sign  a  statement  that  he  will 
not  take  it  home  for  the  baby  to  play  with. 


reap  rewards  unless  we  are  willing  to  share  burdens, 
and  this  great  trutli  is  just  one  of  the  many  things 
which  the  Representative  Plan  has  taught  us. 

To  be  a  real  representative  is  a  man-sized  job. 
He  or  she  must  possess,  or  at  least  cidtivate,  several 
qualities  such  as  impartiality,  diplomacy,  popu- 
larity, moral  courage,  and  a  strict  view  of  justice. 
The  Representative  Plan  has  "discovered"  many  a 
person  working  with  us,  who,  were  it  not  for  the 
plan,  would  have,  perforce,  "hid  his  light  under  a 
bushel."  The  educational  features  are  enormous. 
A  representative  must  view  the  employee's  and  the 
nianager's  side  of  each  case,  thereby  gaining  an 
idea  as  to  how  a  large  factory  such  as  we  have,  is 
successfully  run,  and  the  problems  confronting  the 
business.  Another  great  feature  of  the  plan  is, 
that  it  has  opened  up  a  channel  whereby  the 
humblest  workman  can  give  a  fearless  expression 
of  his  opinions. 

Like  other  things,  the  Representative  Plan  can 
be  worked  for  good  or  evil.  No  good  thing  remains 
good  if  we  take  undue  advantage  of  it.  Given  a 
conservative  plan  and  possessing,  as  we  do,  a  splen- 
did management  and  a  co-operative  loyal  spirit 
from  every  employee,  there  is  no  question  that  it 
truly  is  one  of  our  greatest  plant  assets. 


WATCH  THE  GREEN  BOARDS! 

The  winning  number  is  "0." 

The  essential  difference  between  this  particular 
green  board  and  others  of  similar  design  is,  that 
there  are  no  chances.  In  fact,  taking  a  chance 
will  ruin  your  possibility  of  getting  the  winning 
number. 

It  is  interesting  to  study  last  year's  accident 
record.  Any  paragraph  that  smacks  of  sensa- 
tionalism is  interesting,  but  nine  times  out  of  ten, 
is  deplorable.     The  figures  are  as  follows:

A  conservative  estimate  is  that  sixty  of  these 
eighty  accidents  were  due  to  "taking  chances." 
There  is  no  excuse  for  saying  that  the  job  is  a 
dangerous  one.     Make  it  safe  before  you  start. 

It  can  be  done,  as  you  have  proved. 

Keej)  your  department  rating  at  zero! 


Max  Simons,  the  genial  foreman  of  the  Metal 
Finishing  Departments,  has  the  right  idea  of 
creating  friendly  conditions  among  the  fellows 
with  whom  he  works.  Max  caused  to  be  printed 
and  posted  around  the  departments  a  signed 
greeting  for  Christmas  and  New  Year.  These  are 
the  little  things  that  make  our  factory  a  happy  one.

THE  SUGGESTION  SYSTEM 


Every  worker  in  the  factory  or  office,  whether  he 
be  glass  moulder,  machinist,  lens  grinder  or  book- 
keeper, is  in  a  position  to  see  shortcomings  in  our 
ways  of  doing  business  that  are  accessible  to  no  one 
else.  We  could  have  a  himdred  safety  inspectors 
about  the  plant  and  still  miss  the  very  set-screw  or 
fire-hazard  that  might  cause  a  fatal  accident.  We 
could  have  a  score  of  efficiency  experts  working  ten 
hours  a  day  and  still  overlook  the  slight  improve- 
ment in  constructive  or  manufacturing  method  that 
might  save  ten  thousand  dollars  a  year.  The  reason 
of  course  is  that  no  one  is  ever  quite  intimate 
enough  with  the  work  or  the  plant  to  note  every  de- 
tail and  exhaust  every  possibility  for  improvement. 
The  actual  worker  is  the  only  one  to  be  in  the  favor- 
able position  where  he  can  think  out  or  stiuuble  on 
all  the  necessary  but  neglected  changes.  The  estab- 
lishment of  the  Suggestion  System  is  the  company's 
recognition  of  this  fact  and  an  effort  on  its  part  to 
reward  and  capitalize  this  knowledge  in  the  posses- 
sion of  its  employees. 

There  is  of  course  no  limit  to  the  variety  of  the 
suggestions  that  can  be  made.  There  are  those  that 
pertain  to  maintenance,  general  economy  and  con- 
venience about  the  plant.  Every  employee  who 
knows  how  to  run  his  ovtTi  home  and  pinch  the  penny 
should  be  able  to  suggest  beneficial  changes  of  this 
sort  for  the  place  where  he  spends  most  of  his  waking 
hours.  Recommendations  aiming  to  decrease  fire 
and  other  hazards  and  thus  promote  safety  are  bound 
to  occur  to  the  worker,  especially  in  connection  with 
his  own  particular  work.    Valuable  changes  tending 


toward  a  definite  improvement  of  product  or  manu- 
facturing method,  with  a  resulting  reduction  of  cost, 
are  not  so  common.  This  difficulty  of  improving 
Eastman  products  is  in  itself  a  significant  commen- 
tary on  their  present  quality  but  will  not  discourage 
the  ambitious  suggestor  because  there  is  always 
room  for  further  refinements.  \Mien  suggested,  they 
are  always  amply  rewarded,  not  only  because  they 
are  scarce  but  because  it  is  comparatively  easy  to 
estimate  their  worth  to  the  company.  A  gear  left 
unguarded  might  never  cost  the  company  a  cent  but 
the  overlooking  of  certain  improvements  would  cer- 
tainly cost  thousands  of  dollars. 

There  is  no  more  satisfying  feeling  than  that  of 
ha\-ing  "put  across"  an  idea  and  one  of  the  chief 
advantages  of  the  suggestion  system  is  its  tendency 
to  promote  such  ideas.  It  puts  a  premiiuu  on  inde- 
pendent thought,  gives  the  suggestor  self-confidence 
and  the  gift  of  self-expression  and  develops  the  fore- 
man of  tomorrow. 

To  be  sure  the  monetary  reward  is  a  more  tangible 
encouragement.  Since  January  1,  IQ'SO,  Hawk-Eye 
employees  have  handed  in  285  suggestions,  of  which 
96,  or  about  34%,  have  been  adopted,  and  for  which 
total  awards  of  $539.00  have  been  made — an  aver- 
age of  ^5.62  for  each  suggestion.  It  should  therefore 
become  evident  to  those  who  have  never  handed  in 
suggestions  that  it  is  worth  while  in  every  way  to  be 
a  part  of  the  "system."  To  those  employees  we 
say:  Record  your  thoughts  and  hand  them  in  as  sug- 
gestions. Make  one  suggestion  every  month,  or 
every  day,  for  that  matter.    It  pays. 


ATHLETIC  ASSOCL\TION  DANCE 


It  is  common  knowledge  that  the  most  successful 
parties  are  those  that  are  arranged  on  short  notice. 
A  shining  example  was  the  dance  given  by  the 
Hawk-Eye  Athletic  Association  on  Friday,  Decem- 
ber 17th.  It  became  evident  about  two  days  pre- 
vious to  that  date  that  the  fifth  floor  of  Building 
No.  6  wotild  be  completed  by  that  time  and,  being 
good  celebrators,  the  Association  set  to  work  to 
commemorate  the  event.  The  floor,  being  very 
new,  was  also  rather  rough,  but  five  dollars'  worth 
of  wax  put  it  into  very  good  condition.  Mr. 
Brown,  on  very  short  notice,  commandeered  a 
machine  and  succeeded  in  scaring  up  a  load  of 
fried  cakes  for  the  jazzers. 

The  "ball-room"  was  decorated  with  flags. 
Beyond   a   partition,    where   it   was   less   liable   to 


exercise  a  sinister  influence  on  the  more  unsophis 
ticated  dancers,  was  a  "bar."  Here  Adelaide 
Peachey,  Johnnie  Vass  and  Sid  Leggatt  dispensed 
cider  and  sinkers,  not  at  intervals  between  the 
dances,  but  steadily  from  eight-thirty  until  half 
after  eleven.  By  dint  of  hard  work  they  kept  the 
great  Hawk-Eye  thirst  within  reasonable  bounds. 
Damon's  Orchestra  held  forth  in  the  main  hall 
and  furnished  a  brand  of  music  that  has  never  been 
siu-passed  at  any  of  our  dances.  Under  its  spell 
the  three  short  hours  passed  all  too  quickly.  liut 
being  over  before  the  guests  were  tired  out,  the 
dance  had  the  same  effect  as  a  light  but  dainty 
meal — it  left  a  desire  for  more.  We  hope  that  this 
desire  will  find  expression  in  another  similar  event 
soon.

WILLIAM  J.  VAN  DUSEN 

Of  the  Power  Department,  who  has  seen  service  at  Premo  and 
Hawk-Eye  for  the  last  fifteen  years 

Laura  Knoeferl  returned  on  January  10th,  after 
an  enforced  absence  of  three  months  due  to  blood 
poisoning.     We  are  glad  to  see  her  with  us  again. 


The  Safety  Council  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
is  conducting  a  Safety  School  which  meets  every 
Friday  night.  Hawk-Eye  is  already  represented, 
but  not  as  well  as  it  should  be.  The  school  is  open 
to  anyone  who  is  interested.  Even  if  you  think 
you  are  not  interested,  drop  in  at  the  Chamber 
some  Friday  at  eight  o'clock.  You  may  change 
your  mind,  in  which  case  you  can  register  the  next 
day  for  the  remaining  meetings. 


The  contract  work  on  the  fifth  floor  of  Building 
Xo.  6  has  been  completed  and  the  equipment  is 
now  being  installed.  The  floor  will  house  the 
Centering   and   Cleaning-Inspecting   Departments. 


There  were  all  of  two  individual  contributions  to 
our  section  of  the  magazine  this  month.  It  is 
impossible  to  make  it  a  representative  publication 
unless  more  items  are  handed  in.  One  reason  for 
the  dearth  of  material  is  undoubtedly  the  fact  that 
some  of  us  are  disappointed  at  the  non-publication 
of  previous  contributions.  It  should  be  remem- 
bered that  we  submit  everything  that  is  handed  in. 
If  it  is  not  published,  it  is  because  of  lack  of  space. 


Josephine  Fiat  has  not  been  at  her  work  since 
December  20,  when  she  left  to  have  an  operation. 
We  hope  to  have  her  back  M'ith  us  soon. 


At  the  final  election  on  January  7th,  John  Rearson 
was  chosen  Hawk-Eye  representative  on  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  Kodak  Employees'  Association, 
Inc. 


Johnnie  Vass  underwent  a  successful  operation 
on  January  .5th.  He  has  been  entertaining  every- 
body at  the  General  Hospital  with  the  well-known 
Vass  wit. 


Gustave  Aldinger,  after  being  away  about  eight 
weeks,  returned  to  the  Drafting  Department  on 
January  3rd. 


All  Hawk-Eye  was  glad  to  be  able  to  welcome 
back  Mr.  Von  Deben  recently.  He  had  been 
suffering  about  two  months  from  an  infected  finger. 


At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Athletic  Association  on  January  3rd,  Russell  Craib 
was  elected  baseball  manager  for  the  season  of  19''21. 


Henry  Karnisky,  John  Doerner,  Walter  Stephany 
and  Thomas  Frisch,  of  the  wood  room,  have  been 
transferred  to  the  Premo  Works.  All  four  were 
faithful  workers.  Doerner  and  Stephany  have 
been  at  Hawk-Eye  since  1903  and  190'-2  respectively. 


Albert  Winslow  has  been  transferred  to  the  Main 
Ofiice,  where  we  wish  him  every  success.

A  GOOD  PRESCRIPTION 


You  are  missing  something  if  you  are  not  making 
use  of  the  Hawk-Eye  Library.  The  collection, 
located  in  the  anteroom  of  the  Emj)loyment  Office. 
is  one  of  the  fifty  library  stations  established  by 
the  Rochester  Pul)lic  Library.  It  is  no  longer 
necessary  for  us  to  go  to  one  of  the  main  library 
branches  in  order  to  get  a  book  because  our  collec- 
tion is  the  library  brought  to  us.  It  is  a  great 
convenience  and  should  be  as  well  a  source  of  much 
pleasure  and  entertainment  for  all  of  us. 

The  hundred  and  fifty  volumes  now  on  our 
shelves  are  all  selected  from  the  best  of  modern 
American  and  English  fiction.  We  receive  periodic 
additions  to  this  number  and  when  the  librarian's 
records  show  that  a  certain  group  of  books  has 
been  well  circulated,  they  are  exchanged  for  others. 
.\s  a  result  we  always  have  a  considerable  number 
of  fresh  books  to  choose  from.  Any  particular 
author  or  tj-pe  of  story  that  you  would  like  to  read, 
but  that  is  not  on  our  shelves,  can  be  mentioned 
in  the  librarian's  report  to  the  central  branch  and 
])robably  supplied  with  our  next  lot  of  exchange 
books. 

The  librarian  is  also  in  a  position  to  render 
special  service  to  those  of  us  who  are  of  a  technical 
turn  of  mind.  Draftsmen,  optical  workers,  pro- 
duction men,  electricians,  etc.,  who  wish  to  follow 


out  certain  lines  of  study  or  research,  should  report 
that  fact.  Our  needs  will  be  promptly  communi- 
cated to  the  main  library,  which  will  send  us  ample 
supplies  of  books,  magazine  articles  and  even 
newspaper  clippings  on  the  subject  in  question. 
These  can  be  drawii  out  in  the  regular  manner  by 
the  person  interested. 

The  library  days  are  Tuesday  and  Friday.  On 
these  days  the  books  can  be  drawn  out  between 
the  hours  12:00  and  1:30.  They  can  then  be  kept 
for  a  week  anrl  if  you  have  not  finished  the  book 
at  tlie  end  of  tiiis  time,  it  can  be  renewed  by  simply 
bringing  in  the  card  inside  the  front  cover  and 
having  it  stamped  again  by  the  librarian. 

Step  into  the  Employment  Office  on  the  next 
library  day  and  pick  out  something  by  your  favorite 
author.  If  you  want  a  little  help  in  choosing  a 
good  story,  let  Librarian  "Billy"  Wilson  or  Florence 
Kubitz  pick  one  for  you.  They  already  have  a 
large  number  of  devotees  who  lean  on  them  in 
this  matter  as  on  crutches,  and  they  have  seldom 
been  known  to  disappoint  with  their  choices. 

Particularly  for  a  cold  or  rainy  night  try  this 
recipe:  Take  home  a  book  from  the  library,* eat  a 
good  hot  dinner,  settle  back  in  your  favorite  chair 
with  your  feet  on  the  register,  and  proceed  to  spend 
a  "large"  evening. 


FOREMEN'S  CHRISTMAS  PARTY 


The  business  cares  of  the  Hawk-Eye  Foremen 
were  routed  and  put  to  flight  on  the  evening  of 
Wednesday,  December  '■2'-2nd,  when  they  perpe- 
trated their  first  Christmas  Party  in  the  girls' 
lunch  room.  The  whole  affair  was  run  off  under 
Mr.  Woodams's  direction  and  was  conceded  to  be 
such  a  success  that  it  will  probably  be  made  an 
annual  event. 

As  the  foremen  filed  into  the  hall  at  six  o'clock 
amid  the  jazzy  strains  of  a  banjo  orchestra,  it 
became  immediately  evident  that  considerable 
time  and  energy  had  been  expended  to  furnish 
the  proper  background  for  the  function.  An 
electrically-lighted  tree  shone  resplendently  at 
one  end  of  the  room,  revealing  a  heap  of  packages 
of  imposing  appearance  imderneath.  The  rest 
of  the  room  was  decorated  with  holly  and  with 
other  combinations  of  the  Chri.stmas  colors.  The 
immaculate  linen  of  Mr.  Brown's  tables  was  set  off 
by  sprays  of  fern  and  fancy  boxes  of  fruit. 

On  sitting  down  the  guests  donned  the  many- 
hued  caps  placed  before  them  and  were  forthwith 
transformed  into  a  motley  band  of  Turks,  clowiis 
and  Greek  gods.  By  this  time  the  orchestra  had 
been  displaced  by  the  University  of  Rochester 
quartette,  which  rendered  the  first  of  a  number  of 
selections  that  look  the  jiarty  by  storm.  Again 
the  .syncopated  strains  of  the  orchestra  burst  forth, 
to  continue  until  the  guests  had  finisiicd  inhaling 
their  tomato  puree.  It  was  then  considered  safe 
to  grant  them  a  recess. 

While  all  hancis  were  doing  justice  to  Mr.  Brown's 
excellent  dinner,  served  by  pretty  waitresses,  Mr. 
Higgins  suggested  that  the  gifts  be  distributed. 
Messrs.  Haus  and  Aulenbacher  were  induced  to 
tear  themselves  away  from  their  viands  long  enough 


to  do  this.  Mr.  Huntington,  sanitary  expert 
was  presented  with  a  youthful  broom,  while  Joe 
Engel  drew  a  rattle.  Mr.  Phillips  received  a 
package  whose  contour  suggested  an  elegant  scarf, 
but  which  held  a  pop-gim  instead.  Mr.  Watts 
was  tickled  pink  by  a  dime  bank  disguised  as  a 
cash  register.  Playing  with  their  toys  afforded 
the  boys  much  amusement  and  all  were  apparently 
satisfied  with  the  exception  of  Frank  Newman. 
After  driving  his  neighbors  almost  to  distraction 
with  liis  owii  noise-making  device,  he  borrowed 
a  tin  flute  and  played  "The  Last  Rose  of  Summer" 
with  great,  though  untimely,  pathos. 

With  something  substantial  under  their  belts 
the  foremen  felt  the  vocal  lu-ge  very  strongly  and 
sang  several  songs  with  great  gusto.  They  became 
so  excited  and  enthusiastic  over  the  old  Hero  Song 
that  they  would  certainly  have  raised  the  roof  if  it 
had  not  been  three  full  floors  above  them. 

^^  ith  all  this  as  a  background.  Mr.  Higgins 
introduced  the  speaker  of  the  evening  in  the  person 
of  Mr.  Spencer  Hord.  Mr.  Hord  undertook  to 
prove  that  there  is  more  or  less  humor  inherent  in 
every  situation  and  he  illustrated  his  proposition 
with  a  number  of  anecdotes  that  tickled  his  audience 
mightily.  It  was  unanimously  agreed  that  the 
speaker  had  made  his  point,  and  Mr.  Huntington 
was  later  heard  to  remark  that  he  could  listen  to 
such  stories  all  night. 

Once  more  quartette  and  orchestra  poured  forth 
medley  and  jazz  in  generous  profusion  and  supplied 
a  fitting  finale  for  a  rousing  party. 

W'e  are  indebted  to  all  who  helped  to  make  the 
affair  a  success,  and  especially  to  the  University 
men  who  did  .so  much  to  "put  it  over."

INDOOR  BASEBALL 

The  Hawk-Eye  Indoor  Baseball  team  is  in  the 
field  as  a  member  of  the  City  League,  which  is 
by  far  the  fastest  aggregation  of  indoor  teams 
ever  organized  in  Rochester.  Gordon  Driver, 
of  the  American  Woodworking  Machinery  Com- 
pany, is  president  of  the  league,  and  it  is  largely 
through  his  knowledge  of  the  game  that  the  league 
is  having  a  most  successful  season.  The  games 
are  played  at  Exposition  Park  on  Friday  nights 
and  eight  husky  teams  are  fighting  for  the  pennant. 

The  Hawk-Eye  nine,  under  the  management  of 
Martin  Tipple,  got  away  to  a  very  good  start  and 
has  won  three  of  the  five  games  played.  The 
Hickey-Freeman  Company  and  Steelier  Litho- 
graphic Company  teams  both  succumbed  by 
decisive  scores  and  the  Camekos  were  taken  into 
camp  after  a  hard  battle  ending  2-1. 

Then  Tipple's  warriors  suffered  a  severe  set-back 
in  the  temporary  loss  of  Copenhagen,  star  pitcher, 
who  was  forced  to  stay  out  of  two  games  because  of 
infection  in  his  pitching  arm.  In  his  absence, 
Hawk-Eye  lost  the  two  games,  one  defeat  being 
handed  out  by  the  American  Woodworking  team 
and  the  other  by  the  Camera  Works.  With  Copen- 
hagen's return  the  team  will  take  on  new  life  and 
should  be  able  to  beat  out  all  other  entrants  in  the 
race  for  the  flag. 

No  team  can  do  its  best  without  at  least  some 
support  from  the  grandstand  and  we  earnestly 
exhort  all  baseball  fans  to  turn  out  for  the  games. 
It  is  not  a  matter  of  charity,  either,  because  the 
contests  to  date  have  all  been  most  exciting  and 
those  who  have  come  out  to  them  have  felt  fully 
repaid.  The  members  of  the  team  are:  Rearson, 
l.f.;  Witzel,  c.f.;  Van  Lare,  r.f.  and  lb.;  Felerski, 
s.s.  and  captain;  Long,  p.  and  3b.;  Zollweg,  2b.; 
Freitag,  c.f.  and  s.s.;  Britt,  c;  Copenhagen,  lb. 
and  p. 


Alta  Carley  took  a  vacation  recently.  It  was 
not  known  to  most  of  us  until  her  return  that  she 
had  been  married,  the  big  date  being  January  3rd. 
She  is  now  Mrs.  Fred  Barron,  and  is  residing  at 
198  Bronson  Avenue.  Our  best  wi.shes  are  extended 
to  the  newlyweds. 


The  Filter  Department  celebrated  Christmas 
with  a  party  at  noon  on  December  2-lth.  A  tree, 
trirmued  by  the  combined  efforts  of  the  members, 
adorned  the  room.  Limch  was  served  in  the 
department  itself,  after  which  the  contents  of  a 
large  grab-basket  were  distributed  and  individual 
gifts  exchanged  as  well. 


Gertrude  Berge,  of  the  Cleaning  and  Inspecting 
Department,  and  Louis  Kingsly  were  married  on 
New  Year's  Eve.     Heartiest  good  wishes! 


Ella  Wienecke's  friends  are  sorry  to  learn  that 
she  is  suffering  from  diphtheria,  and  join  in  wishing 
her  a  speedy  recovery. 


Frank  Newman's  department  of  girls  seems  due 
to  dwindle  rapidly.  He  is  reluctant  to  admit  the 
engagements  of  four  more  of  them:  Hanna  Price, 
Elvira  Redding,  Lois  Oliver  and  Loretta  Zink. 


Eh-ira  Redding  is  away  on  leave  of  absence  on 
account  of  ill  health.  We  hope  that  a  prompt 
recovery  will  make  it  possible  for  her  to  be  with  us 
again  soon. 


Marjorie  Arline  Pierce,  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Wendell  F.  Pierce,  was  born  December  26,  1920. 
Congratulations,  Wendell;  that's  certainly  a- better 
Christmas  present  than  the  rest  of  us  got. 


A  new  tie  binds  us  to  the  Camera  Works.  May 
Everson  has  announced  her  engagement  to  William 
McDonald.  Congratulations,  Bill!  You've  taken 
one  of  our  best. 


The  Anastigmat  Rough  Grinding  Department 
and  the  girls  of  the  Filter  Department  joined  in 
the  presentation  of  a  new  hat,  a  new  shirt,  and  a 
sum  of  money  to  John  (Dad)  Lavery  the  day  before 
Christmas.  "Dad"  is  a  member  of  the  Sanitary 
Department  and  is  very  popular,  as  is  proved  by 
the  fact  that  every  one  in  both  departments  con- 
tributed to  the  gifts. 


Margaret  Duske  was  confined  to  her  home 
recently  by  an  attack  of  laryngitis,  but  has  fully 
recovered  and  is  back  at  her  work. 


At  this  writing  Leah  Spencer,  who  was  seriously 
injured  some  time  ago  when  she  was  struck  by  a 
street  car,  is  still  in  the  hospital,  but  convalescing 
rapidly.  

The  office  girls  started  their  Christmas  festi\'ities 
by  handing  out  presents  to  each  other  on  the 
Friday  preceding  the  great  day.  Bill  Roach's 
ofiice  was  the  scene  of  the  party  and  it  is  said  to 
have  been  a  mess  when  they  got  through.

We  regret  to  report  that  the  building  operations 
on  the  roof  of  Building  No.  1  do  not  presage  a  new 
dance  hall  or  recreation  room,  but  a  studio  and 
oflBces  for  the  Scientific  Department.

RESUME  OF  MEN'S  BASKETBALL 

The  Hawk-Eye  men's  team,  by  virtue  of  having 
won  one  game  and  lost  three  thus  far,  is  launched 
on  a  fairly  successful  season,  though  the  caliber 
of  their  material  should  give  them  a  much  better 
record  in  the  remaining  contests. 

Pursued  by  a  jinx  in  the  first  game  with  the  Mt. 
Carmels,  they  were  nosed  out  by  their  opponents 
in  an  extra  period  and  lost  ■H-ii.  In  the  next 
set-to,  with  the  Kodak  Office,  the  jinx  overtook 
them  again,  and  they  lost  a  hard-luck  game  by  an 
18-17  score. 

The  hoodoo  was  still  in  evidence  in  the  game 
with  the  C.  Y.  M.  A.  Rangers  on  December  20th, 
and  it  required  two  extra  periods  to  overcome  it, 
the  final  score  being  28-'27  for  Hawk-Eye. 

On  January  11th  the  Purple  and  White  stacked 
up  against  the  Office  again.  The  hea^y  Hawk-Eye 
team  was  helpless  on  the  slippery  floor,  and  lost 
by  the  decisive  score  of  36-21. 

In  spite  of  this  last  defeat,  the  boys  are  just 
warming  to  their  work  and  expect  to  get  together 
and  clean  up  on  the  balance  of  the  schedule. 


RESUME  OF  GIRLS  BASKETBALL 

The  Hawk-Eye  girls  team  has  enjoyed  a 
successful  season  to  date,  having  won  three  games 
out  of  the  five  scheduled.  The  first  one,  with  the 
Kodak  Office,  on  December  7,  proved  easy.  The 
State  Street  girls  fought  hard  but  their  inexperience 
counted  against  them.  Manager  Schlegel  worked 
out  all  of  his  Purple  and  White  players  and  the 
final  score  was  14-4  for  Hawk-Eye. 

A  week  later,  however,  they  struck  a  snag  in 
the  Ritter  Dental  team  and  were  nosed  out  by  one 
point,  the  coimt  being  8-7.  The  game  was  hard- 
fought  from  beginning  to  end,  and  the  decision  was 
in  doubt  until  the  final  whistle.  Captain  Maier 
was  high  scorer  with  three  points,  all  of  which 
she  garnered  from  the  foul  line. 

In  January  they  tackled  the  Ritters  again  at  the 
Armory,  and  this  time  it  was  a  different  tale. 
Hawk-Eye  was  the  quicker  to  become  acquainted 
with  the  long  court  and,  furthermore,  put  up  a 
brand  of  passing  and  shooting  that  was  too  fast  for 
the  dental  workers.  The  first  half  was  closely 
contested,  but  in  the  second  Hawk-Eye  drew 
away  steadily,  the  final  result  being  12-4.  Alice 
Gears  was  high  scorer,  accounting  for  ten  of  the 
winners'  points. 

Two  nights  thereafter  the  St.  Paul  Street  girls 
met  the  Kodak  Park  quint  and,  after  a  hard  fight, 
emerged  on  the  short  end  of  a  9-3  score.  Greater 
experience  on  Kodak's  part,  plus  a  familiar  court, 
tells  most  of  the  story.  Hawk-Eye's  forwards 
were  kept  well  covered  throufjliout  and  her  three 
points  were  scored  from  the  foul  line. 

On  January  11th  they  again  stacked  up  against 
the  Kodak  Office.  The  latter  presented  an  entirely 
different  line-up  from  the  one  used  in  the  earlier 
game,  but  were  unable  to  register  a  ^\^n  and  the 
game  ended  at  8-3  for  Hawk-Eye. 

In  general  the  Hawk-Eye  girls  have  been  playing 
good  basketball.  They  are  handicapped  by  not 
ha\dng  a  court  of  their  own,  but  with  a  little  more 
experience  should  be  able  to  give  the  Park  girls 
a  good  run  for  the  Kodak  Championship. 


BOWLING 

The  bowling  team,  of  which  George  Kosel  is 
Captain,  is  coming  along  auspiciously.  At  the 
present  writing  they  have  won  eleven  out  of  the 
thirty-six  games  and  are  going  strong.  Indeed, 
the  showing  made  thus  far  is  better  than  for  several 
years  and,  barring  accidents,  the  team  should 
have  a  very  creditable  rating  at  the  end  of  the 
season.  More  interest  would  mean  still  better 
results  than  we  are  getting  now.  All  bowlers 
are  lu-ged  to  watch  the  bulletin  boards  for  announce- 
ments regarding  the  matches  and  to  turn  out  to 
cheer  the  team  on.  It  should  also  be  remembered 
that  the  personnel  of  the  team  is  not  necessarily 
fixed  at  any  time;  that  is,  any  bowlers  who  have 
not  been  out  for  the  team  are  not  barred  simply 
because  the  season  has  begun.  If  they  will  report 
to  George  Kosel  he  will  be  glad  to  arrange  a  try-out 
for  them.    Let's  get  behind  'em  and  push! 


GIRLS'  BASKETBALL 

"Billy"  Maier  gave  a  splendid  exhibition  of 
stamina  in  the  first  Ritter  game.  Although  decid- 
edly under  the  weather  in  the  second  half  and 
hardly  able  to  stand  on  her  feet,  she  insisted  on 
playing  to  the  end,  and  did  much  to  bolster  up 
the  faltering  Hawk-Eye  defence. 

It  woidd  require  a  rapid  rectilinear  to  catch 
anything  besides  a  flash  of  arms  and  legs  when 
Grace  Wiemer  is  guarding  her  "man."  She  is 
invariably  on  the  spot  before  "he"  has  a  chance 
to  get  rid  of  the  ball  and  then  Grace  either  gets 
possession  of  it  herself  or  it  just  stays  right  there 
to  the  whistle,  that's  all. 

Olive  Kellett  and  Ethel  Reinhardt  are  showing 
up  well  whenever  they  play,  an  example  being 
their  work  in  the  second  Kodak  Office  game  which 
Hawk-Eye  won,  8-3.  Ethel,  among  other  things, 
held  her  forward  scoreless.  Olive's  opponent 
insisted  on  dragging  her  about  the  court  by  an 
arm,  but  outside  of  some  slight  embarrassment, 
it  didn't  seem  to  bother  her  much  or  hinder  her 
activities. 

Alice  Gears  continues  to  play  worse  and  worse. 
In  the  second  Ritter  game,  which  we  won  by  a 
12-4  score,  she  scored  ten  of  Hawk-Eye's  points. 
Her  antics  became  most  annoying  during  the 
second  half,  when  she  rang  in  four  baskets  in 
succession.  The  Ritter  girls  began  to  think  that 
it  had  become  chronic  with  her. 

During  the  first  half  of  the  Kodak  Office  game 
several  spectators  opined  that  petite  HattieBatzing 
seemed  to  be  occupying  the  bench  mainly  for 
decorative  purposes.  What  a  rude  awakening 
they  suffered  when  ^\-insome  Hattie  went  in.  grabbed 
the  ball,  broke  up  the  Office  pass-work,  pulled  hair, 
and  what  not.  "Phew!"  whistled  the  spectators, 
"can  you  beat  it.^  " 

Virginia  Earl  is  another  great  disappointment. 
She  is  so  quiet  and  unobtrusive  in  her  work  about 
the  office  that  it  was  a  distinct  shock  to  us  to  see 
her  WTcstle  and  tumble  and  rip  open  the  Kodak 
Park  ott'ence  the  other  night. 

You  wouldn't  know  it  if  we  didn't  tell  you,  but 
this  is  the  first  year  that  Elizabeth  ^leerdink  has 
played  on  the  team.  Not  only  that,  but  she  plays 
her  center  position  almost  perfectly.  A  recent 
opponent  of  hers  had  dropped  in  about  fifteen 
baskets  against  another  first-year  girl  on  a  local 
team.     Elizabeth  held  her  to — exactly  nothing.

SUGGESTION  SYSTEM  HAS 
BANNER  YEAR 

MARKED    IXCRE-AlSE    SH0\\'X    OVER    PAST    RESULTS 

1920  was  the  "biggest"  year  for  the  Kodak  Park 
Suggestion  System  since  its  introduction  twenty- 
three  years  ago.  More  and  more  are  the  folks  at 
Kodak  Park  beginning  to  reabze  tliat  the  benefits 
derived  are  well  worth  the  time  and  effort  a  sug- 
gestion requires. 

In  1920  there  were  nearly  3.300  suggestions  re- 
ceived, an  average  of  over  270  per  month,  which 
represents  an  increase  over  1919  of  about  65  per 
cent.  Of  this  number  40  per  cent,  were  adopted, 
totaling  some  1,300  ideas,  an  increase  of  78  per 
cent,  over  last  year. 

Preliminary  awards,  totaling  over  $8,500.00, 
were  paid  during  the  year,  representing  an  average 
award  of  $6.53  per  suggestion.  A  number  of  these 
suggestions  will  receive  final  or  yearly  awards  about 
May  of  this  year,  based  on  the  actual  worth  of  the 
idea,  which  in  some  instances  could  not  be  de- 
termined at  the  time  of  adoption. 

Perhaps  you  have  never  sent  in  a  suggestion. 
If  not,  put  your  eyes  and  mind  at  work  and  get 
started.  Some  ideas  pay  mighty  big  money  for  a 
few  moments  of  your  time.  If  you  are  a  "regular," 
start  out  the  new  year  with  the  idea  that  you  are 
going  to  get  your  name  in  the  "High  Prize"  class. 

Cash  in  on  your  ideas. 


CAMERA   CLUB   CELEBRATES   ITS 
FIRST  ANNIVERSARY 

Perhaps  no  other  Kodak  Park  activity  has  made 
the  progress  during  the  same  period  of  time  and 
obtained  the  results  that  the  Kodak  Park  Camera 
Club  has  during  the  first  year  of  its  existence. 
Under  the  able  guidance  of  its  President,  Howard 
A.  Saner,  numerous  activities  have  been  put  over 
in  the  most  approved  manner.  Its  membership  has 
increased  from  five  charter  members  to  a  present 
enrollment  of  slightly  over  two  hundred.  The 
co-operation  of  the  expert  photographers  in  the 
plant  has  been  another  large  factor  in  the  success 
of  the  organization  and  a  vote  of  thanks  is  ex- 
tended to  Dr.  C.  E.  K.  Mees,  Loyd  A.  Jones, 
Stanley  M.  Furnald.  John  G.  Capstaff,  Lewis  E. 
Jewell,  and  Kenneth  Huse,  who  have  delivered 
lectures  for  the  benefit  of  the  members. 

On  Tuesday  evening,  January  lltli,  about  one 
hundred  and  fifty  members  attended  the  dinner, 
which  was  given  in  the  dining  hall.  This  was 
followed  by  a  very  interesting  lecture  by  John  I. 
Crabtree  of  the  Research  Laboratory,  his  subject 
being  "How  to  Use  Your  Kodak."  Much  valu- 
able and  interesting  information  was  imparted  by 
Mr.  Crabtree.  The  annual  election  of  officers 
was  also  held  at  this  meeting,  and  the  following 
were  elected  for  the  vear  of  1921:  President,  Dr. 
E.  P.  Wightman:  Vice  President,  H.  B.  Tuttle; 
Secretarv,  H.  A.  Saner;  Treasurer,  E.  J.  Ward.

TESTING  DEPARTMENT  AGAIN  IN  PEACE 

For  some  time  a  certain  rat  has  been  playing 
havoc  with  everytliing  and  everybody  in  the 
Testing  Department.  Daily,  or  nightly,  attempts 
had  been  made  to  aijpreheml  the  culprit  with  no 
success,  until  at  last  the  services  of  Albert  ¥. 
Kosbab,  whose  reputation  as  a  "rat  catcher"  had 
reached  the  departnu-nt,  was  solicited. 


ALBERT  F.  KOSBAB  AND  THE  RAT 

His  first  attempt  was  successful,  and  the  accom- 
panying picture  shows  our  modern  "Pied  Piper" 
with  his  catch. 

Mr.  Kosbab  may  be  reached  by  mail  at  the 
Testing  Department,  and  will  willingly  undertake 
to  rid  any  home  of  this  tj-pe  of  nuisance. 


GIRLS  FORM  BASKETBALL  LEAGUE 

Due  largely  to  the  close  attention  being  paid  to 
the  activities  of  the  girl  members  of  the  K.P.  A.A. 
by  Marguerite  Ellis,  in  charge  of  this  work,  during 
the  past  year,  the  interest  in  the  Association  has 
greatly    increased. 

The  basketball  team  being  directed  by  her.  which 
is  making  sucli  an  excellent  showing,  lias  inspired 
other  girls  along  the  line.  Recently  a  league  con- 
sisting of  four  teams  has  been  organized  and  will 
play  games  Tuesday  and  Thursday  evenings  at 
5:30  o'clock  in  the  Asseml)ly  Ilall. 

"Betty"  Frattcr  has  been  aj)pointed  manager 
of  the  league.  Jack  Brightman,  coach,  and  Charles 
Thompson  will  referee. 

The  teams  entered  are: 

NAME  CAPTAIN  N.^AIE  CAPTAIN 

Iris       "Betty"  Nol)lc  ^'elox     Julia  Thayer 

Azo      Louise  Singleton         Solio      Harriet  Noble 
An  invitation  is  extended  to  all  those  interested 
to  attend  the  games. 

The  opening  game  played  on  Tuesday,  January 
11th,  resulted  in  a  victory  for  the  "Azos"  by  the 
score  of  11  to  4.  The  feature  of  the  game  was 
the  playing  of  Louise  Singleton,  who  scored  the 
most  points  for  her  team. 


ENGINEERS  LEAD  IN  DEP.\RTMENTAL 
BASKETBALL  LEAGUE 

Under  the  able  guidance  of  Oliver  Angevine,  and 
the  rare  field  generalship  of  Lee  Hastings,  the 
Engineers'  team  is  showing  the  way  in  the  K.  P. 
A.  A.  Departmental  Basketball  League,  and  still 
have  their  first  game  to  lose. 

Manager  Angevine  has  gathered  together  a  fine 
aggregation  of  stars  and  former  stars,  who  seem  to 
have  little  trouble  in  defeating  the  other  teams  in 
the  league  by  comfortable  margins. 

Department  No.  .30,  Research  and  Reel  teams  are 
pretty  evenly  matched  and  are  in  a  triple  tie  for 
second  place  at  this  writing  (January  8th). 

The  interest  in  the  league  this  year  is  the  greatest 
it  has  ever  been,  and  sufficient  to  resiu-rect  some  of 
the  real  ""old  timers,"  most  prominent  among  these 
being  "Bill"  Doane  of  the  Electrical  Shop.  "Bill" 
is  demonstrating  that  he  is  still  a  basketball  player 
of  ability  and  is  giving  some  of  the  yoimger  boys  a 
load  of  experience. 

Among  others  who  are  playing  an  excellent 
game  are  Stephenson,  Weigand,  "Charlie" 
Brightman  and  Rockcastle.  Games  are  played 
every  Monday  and  Tuesday  evening  from  5:30 
to  7:30  P.  M.  and  we  urge  those  of  you  who  like 
this  sport  to  stay  down  some  evening  and  give  the 
l>oys  your  support.     You  are  sure  to  enjoy  it.

SOCCER  NOTES 

Kodak  Soccer  Club  members  are  looking  forward 
to  a  successful  season  for  1921.  At  the  last  general 
meeting  the  following  officers  were  elected  for  the 
coming  year:  George  E.  Izard,  President;  Ralph 
Breary,  Vice-President;  Leigh  Rife,  Treasurer; 
Edward  Allardice,  Manager;  and  Fred  J.  Collett, 
Secretary.  The  club  is  to  be  congratulated  on 
getting  George  Izard  as  President.  He  has  always 
been  a  soccer  fan,  and  has  been  connected  with 
the  City  Moose  since  that  club  was  organized,  and 
should  be  a  good  man  for  the  job.  Ralph  Breary, 
Leigh  Rife  and  Edward  Allardice  are  all  men  who 
have  been  with  the  Kodaks  for  several  seasons,  and 
have  always  been  hard  workers,  and  with  Fred 
Collett  as  Secretary,  there  is  no  reason  why  a 
winning  combination  cannot  be  had  down  here. 
Plans  are  well  under  way  for  the  signing  of  some  of 
the  most  prominent  players  in  the  city  and  in 
addition  to  the  material  on  hand,  prospects  look 
bright  for  1921. 

The  club  made  a  great  showing  in  the  American 
Cup  games,  and  fought  its  way  to  the  fifth  round. 
This  game  was  originally  scheduled  to  be  played 
at  Akron,  Ohio,  but  after  some  strong  arguments 
and  with  the  promise  of  a  big  guarantee,  the  Good- 
rich team  consented  to  come  to  Rochester. 


"DOC"  YATES— SOCCER  TEAM  TRAINER 

Most  fans  will  remember  on  the  day  previous  to 
the  game  a  hea^'J'  snow  storm  began,  and  telegrams 
were  dispatched  to  Akron  advising  them  of  con- 
ditions here,  telling  them  not  to  come,  but  tli  rough 
circumstances  over  which  we  had  no  control,  the 
telegrams  were  not  delivered  in  time  to  prevent  the 
Akron  team  from  coming.  The  game  could  not  be 
played  and  in  order  to  keep  good  faith  with  the 
visitors,  the  expenses  of  the  trip  were  paid. 


On  a  decision  made  by  the  Ruling  Committee, 
we  were  forced  to  guarantee  the  same  amount  for 
expenses  for  the  following  Sunday,  and  it  is  on  that 
point  we  forfeited  the  game  under  protest,  and  are 
fighting  for  a  decision  at  the  meetings  being  held 
in  New  York. 

The  club  feels  that  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  gave  them 
wonderful  consideration  and  helped  them  both 
financially  and  in  advice,  and  a  determined  effort 
is  going  to  be  made  to  make  this  a  banner  season. 

The  team  is  putting  out  a  first  rate  brand  of 
football,  and  is  hoping  that  the  fans  will  give 
the  loyal  support  that  will  be  necessary  in 
order  to  put  the  R.  &  D.  cup  in  the  case  along 
with  the  other  pennants  won  in  the  different 
lines  of  sport. 


HARRIET  NOBLE  CREATES  TWO 
GIRLS'  RECORDS 

KODAK  GIRLS  CLAIM  CITY  INDUSTRIAL  CHAMPIONSHIP 

Harriet  Noble,  formerly  of  the  North  East 
Electric  Company's  basketball  team,  and  now 
captain  and  star  center  of  the  Kodak  Park  girls' 
team,  is  holder  of  the  state  record  for  the 
greatest  number  of  field  baskets  scored  in  one 
game.  Against  the  Todd  Protectograph  team  on 
December  23rd,  played  at  Kodak  Park,  she 
accounted  for  fifteen  goals  from  the  field.  In  the 
same  game,  she  also  scored  three  points  from  the 
fifteen  foot  line,  totaling  thirty- three  points. 
Another  record  was  made  in  the  Kodak-Todd 
game,  which  the  Park  girls  won  51  to  5.  This  is 
the  highest  score  made  in  any  girls'  game  in  this 
state. 

Among  the  other  players  who  are  doing  much  to 
keep  the  team  on  top  are  Elizabeth  Fratter  and 
Tillie  Hanley.  Elizabeth,  who  plays  guard,  comes 
from  a  family  of  famous  athletes,  her  brother 
Albert  being  an  excellent  Soccer  player  and 
sprinter.  Tillie  Hanley,  playing  at  right  forward,  is 
one  of  the  steadiest  players  on  the  team,  and 
manages  to  account  for  two  or  three  baskets  each 
game.  

BOX  DEPARTMENT  GIRLS  HOLD 
CHRISTMAS  PARTY 

A  novel  entertainment  was  held  by  the  girls  of 
the  Box  Department,  Friday,  December  24th, 
between  12  and  1  P.  M.  Good  "eats"  were 
thoroughly  enjoyed  and  gifts  exchanged,  Marion 
Florack  being  presented  with  a  "flivver,"  although 
she  could  not  induce  any  of  the  girls  to  accompany 
her  for  a  ride. 

To  use  the  expression  of  one  of  the  girls  who  was 
present,  "It  was  a  peachy  Christmas  party." 


To  Margaret  Stebbins  of  the  Powder  and  Solu- 
tion Department,  we  extend  our  sincere  sympathy 
in  her  recent  bereavement,  the  death  of  her  mother. 


In  a  very  pretty  double  wedding  at  the  Sacred 
Heart  Church  on  Monday,  December  27th,  Irene 
Gilmore  of  the  Testing  Department  was  married 
to  James  A.  Gudgel  of  Kentucky,  and  her  brother 
Earl  wed  Margaret  C.  Lynch.  Miss  Gilmore  had 
been  employed  for  some  time  at  Kodak  Park, 
being  in  charge  of  the  photographic  pass  work. 
She  has  a  wide  circle  of  friends  who  unite  in  wishing 
her  much  happiness. 

Mrs.  Gudgel  will  reside  in  Buffalo.

If  you  have  been  reading  the  reports  published 
in  the  Magazine  each  month  of  the  visits  paid  by 
the  Kodak  Park  committees  to  the  different 
institutions  of  the  city  which  receive  aid  from  the 
Community  Chest,  you  cannot  help  but  be  im- 
pressed with  the  one  feature  which  stands  out 
above  all  others — the  pleasure  with  which  the 
authorities  in  these  places  welcome  our  com- 
mittees. Another  interesting  feature  which  is 
very  noticeable  is  the  similarity  of  regulations  as 
far  as  it  is  possible  to  apply  them,  showing  that 
each  institution  is  trying  its  level  best  to  do  the 
right  thing  in  the  right  way,  and  so  eliminate  any 
chance  for  criticism  and  complaint. 

In  visiting  tlie  Hahnemann  Hospital  on  Wednes- 
day, December  22n(l,  we  were  received  by  Dr.  T.  K. 
Gruber,  the  Superintendent,  and  taken  into  his 
oflBce,  where  we  proceeded  to  get  acquainted. 
Going  to  the  top  floor,  the  doctor  conducted  us 
through  what  is  conceded  to  be  one  of  the  most 
up-to-date  and  efficient  series  of  laboratories  and 
operating  rooms  in  this  country. 

Too  few  of  us  aside  from  the  medical  profession 


give  any  thought  to  things  of  this  nature  and  can 
not  realize  the  wonderful  work  being  done  by  a 
pathological  laboratory,  such  as  troubles  correctly 
diagnosed,  cures  effected  and  complications 
prevented. 

Next  we  visited  the  section  of  the  Hospital  de- 
voted to  the  treatment  of  diabetics.  Excellent 
work  is  being  done  here  by  Dr.  Williams  for  per- 
sons afflicted  with  this  disease,  and  relief  given 
through  proper  treatment  and  education. 

Throughout  the  other  departments  of  the 
Hospital  proper,  kitchen,  laundry,  nurses'  home 
and  class  rooms,  the  same  atmosphere  of  efficiency, 
kindness  and  cleanliness  prevailed,  and  Dr.  Gruber 
and  his  assistants  are  to  be  complimented  in  the 
highest  terms. 

We  of  this  committee  are  satisfied  that  this 
Hospital  is  an  institution  which  is  most  worthy 
of  our  support.

A  CALL  ON  A  NEIGHBOR 

There  are  few  of  us  at  Kodak  Park  who  know 
anything  more  about  the  brown  stone  structure 
just  north  of  us  than  by  the  name  of  St.  Ann's 
Home  for  the  Aged.  We  have  probably  never 
given  the  place  much  thought  other  than  to  make 
a  silent  wish  that  our  declining  years  would  not 
find  us  friendless  and  homeless. 

The  circumstances  that  bring  old  folks  to  the 
home  are  quite  varied,  and  it  is  not  always  the 
indigent  and  improvident  who  have  been  com- 
pelled to  seek  shelter  in  asylums  of  this  kind. 

A  committee  from  Kodak  Park  called  on  this 
Home  one  day  recently  in  the  interest  of  the  Com- 
munity Chest,  as  this  is  one  of  the  charities  to 
which  it  contributes.  The  Sister  in  charge  met  us 
at  the  door  and  welcomed  us  with  the  announce- 
ment that  visitors  were  received  with  pleasure. 

A  tour  of  inspection  through  the  entire  building 
could  not  help  but  impress  one  with  the  earnest 
effort  that  is  being  made  by  the  workers  in  charge 
in  their  endeavor  to  make  the  members  of  the  home 
comfortable  and  happy.  We  left  firmly  convinced 
that  any  assistance  given  to  this  institution  was 
well  warranted.  Furthermore,  it  confirmed  our 
convictions  and  faith  in  the  Community  Chest 
and  its  work.

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


ANNA  E.  KURTZ  HAS  AN  EXCELLENT 
RECORD 

An  excellent  example  of  what  may  be  accom- 
plished through  hard  work  and  conscientiously 
attending  to  business  is  exemplified  in  the  advance 
of   Anna  E.  Kurtz  of  the  Pay  Roll  Department 


__  ANNA  E.  KURTZ. 

during  the  time  she  has  been  employed  at  Kodak 
Park.  Starting  to  work  in  the  Pay  Roll  on 
November  2,  191'2,  slightly  more  than  eight  years 
ago,  she  now  is  in  charge  of  all  the  girls  in  this 
department  connected  with  "piece  work"  and 
"bonus  systems"  and  a  portion  of  the  women's 
pay  roll. 

Uniformly  good  natured,  and  able  to  conduct 
her  division  in  a  businesslike  manner  without 
losing  her  popularity  with  her  associates,  is  another 
of  her  excellent  traits.  Being  on  time  with  her 
does  not  consist  of  arriving  at  the  last  minute,  but 
means  getting  to  the  office  always  with  a  few 
minutes  to  spare. 

We  congratulate  Miss  Kurtz  on  the  success  she 
lias  made  of  her  work  at  the  Park,  and  we  are 
jjroud  to  have  her  with  us. 


At  this  time  the  Kodak  Park  girls  lay  claim  to 
the  City  Industrial  Championship  by  virtue  of 
their  exceptional  success  to  date,  having  won  every 
one  of  the  seven  games  played. 


Everyone  is  anxiously  awaiting  the  much  talked 
of  series  with  the  Bausch  &  Lomb  "Reflectors." 
This  team  will  meet  the  Kodak  team  in  a  series 
to  determine  the  girls'  City  Championship.  This 
series  will  be  played  at  the  end  of  the  season  and  is 
expected  to  create  much  interest. 


Doris  Corts  of  the  Reel  Manufacturing  Depart- 
ment, Building  No.  48.  is  back  with  us  again  with 
the  same  old  smile  after  successfully  fighting 
scarlet  fever.  

Martha  Daleski  of  the  Reel  Manufacturing  De- 
partment, Building  No.  48,  has  been  away  for  a 
long,  long  time,  and  we  are  very  glad  to  have  her 
with  us  again.  

The  installation  of  a  coffee  urn  and  equipment 
for  serving  hot  coffee  to  the  "shift"  employees,  is 
the  latest  acquisition  to  the  Roll  Coating 
Department.  

Marion  Law,  formerly  of  Silver  Springs,  New 
York,  has  been  employed  by  the  Testing  Depart- 
ment to  take  the  place  of  Irene  Gilmore  who  left 
recently  to  be  married.  Miss  Law  will  take  care 
of  the  photographic  passes  for  the  employees. 


December  31st  was  moving  up  day  at  the 
Emulsion  Coating  Department.  Upon  entering 
his  new  office,  Mr.  L.  Burrows  was  welcomed  by  a 
floral  tribute  from  the  foremen  and  office  staff. 


The  Black  Paper  Winding  girls  had  some  "feed" 
in  their  room  during  the  noon  hour,  December  24, 
1920.  They  had  lots  of  eats  and  giggles.  Every 
one  was  allowed  to  grab  from  a  Christmas  Grab 


On  January  5th,  the  Black  Paper  girls  had  a 
dinner  at  Sabin's,  later  enjoying  a  theatre  party  at 
the  Temple.  

William  Goodfellow  and  family  wish  to  thank 
the  Black  Paper  employees  for  their  Christmas 
Box.

BOWLING  IX  FULL    SWING 

If  there  is  one  sport  which  has  an  enthusiastic 
following  at  Kodak  Park,  it  is  bowling.  The  only 
regret  is  that  there  are  not  sufficient  bowling  halls 
in  the  city  to  accommodate  all  those  who  wish  to 
participate.  With  a  team  in  the  Camera  League — 
an  eight-team  K.  P.  A.  A.  League — eight-team 
Yard  League,  and  the  new  four-team  Shift  Men's 
League,  over  one  hundred  members  of  the  Associa- 
tion are  getting  good  healthy  exercise  and  much 
enjoyment  every  week. 

Howard  Beuckman's  champions  are  having  little 
difficulty  in  maintaining  a  comfortable  lead  in  the 
Camera  League,  and  the  winning  of  the  trophy  for 
the  season  of  1919-:20  is  almost  an  assured  fact. 

In  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  League  the  race  is  very  close, 
several  of  the  teams  being  possible  winners  of  the 
trophy.  Some  excellent  averages  are  being  upheld, 
six  of  the  men  having  better  than  180.  Jansen  is 
in  the  lead  with  a  mark  of  188-7  for  thirty-three 
games  rolled  and  is  closelv  pressed  bv  Do^stis  with 
186. 

Harold  Servises  Office  team  is  setting  the  pace  in 
the  Yard  League,  one  of  the  more  recent  organiza- 
tions, although  it  is  being  worried  by  the  Inspectors, 
Trucking  and  Steel  Shed.  Some  good  scores  are 
also  being  chalked  up  by  this  outfit. 

A  keen  spirit  of  rivalry  exists  between  the  teams 
representing  Buildings  No.  -29  and  No.  50  in  the 
Shift  Men's  League.  This  is  a  new  undertaking 
just  started  this  season  and  is  working  out  very 
satisfactorily. 

Due  to  the  fact  that  in  some  departments,  such 
as  Building  No.  29  and  Building  No.  50,  the  work- 
ing hours  of  an  employee  change  periodically  it  is 
impossible  to  arrange  matters  so  that  he  can 
participate  in  the  regular  matches.  The  schedule 
worked  out  by  those  in  charge  of  the  league  is 
such  that  all  those  who  wish  are  given  an  oppor- 
tunity to  enjoy  this  recreational  activity.  This 
year,  the  Shift  Men's  League  was  started  as  an 
experiment,  but  the  success  it  has  attained  may 
result  in  a  larger  league  next  season. 


NEW  TYPE  OF  "SMOKER  "  VERY 
SATISFACTORY 

Friday,  December  ITth.  marked  the  passing  of 
the  Boxing  Smokers,  which  have  been  given  for  a 
number  of  years  by  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  and  launched 
the  activities  of  the  association  upon  a  new  line  of 
straight  vaudeville  entertainment. 

There  are  a  few  members  who  still  feel  that 
boxing  is  the  only  real  tx-pe  of  amusement,  but  the 
vote  taken  during  the  performance  resulted  in  an 
almost  unanimous  decision  in  favor  of  the  new 
era. 

To  the  committee  headed  by  "Art"  Williams, 
working  in  conjunction  with  "Jerry"  Welles  and 
"Ed"  Goodridge,  the  credit  for  this  excellent  show 
is  due.  "Chief"  Ruckoldt,  who  acted  as  director, 
ringmaster  and  actor,  was  another  big  factor  in 
the  success  of  the  affair.  The  "Chief"  demon- 
strated that  he  is  capable  of  other  things  aside  from 
refereeing  a  boxing  match. 

Eight  finished  acts  were  presented  including  Ray 
Fagan's  new  musical  number,  which  is  meeting 
with  much  success  on  the  vaudeville  stage;  Miller 
and  Lyell  in  "Forty  Below,"  a  laugh  from  start 
to  finish;  and  Dolly  Kay  and  John  Walton  with 


"Fads  and  Follies,"  a  very  pretty  act,  very  appro- 
priate to  the  occasion. 

The  current  question  of  the  day  is  "When  will 
we  have  another  Smoker.'"  The  few  members 
who  were  not  able  to  attend  on  the  17th  have  heard 
so  much  favorable  comment  on  the  affair  that  they 
are  anxiously  awaiting  the  next  event. 


ARE  YOU  WITH  US.^ 

The  winning  streak  of  the  Kodak  Park  basketball 
team  was  broken  on  Saturday,  January  8th,  when 
the  celebrated  Perintons,  catching  the  Parkers  on  an 
off  night,  defeated  them  by  the  score  of  25  to  19. 
Slight  overconfidence  after  the  easy  wins  from  all 
the  other  teams  played  up  to  this  time  was  doubt- 
less instrumental  in  the  outcome  of  the  contest. 

Cliff  Hegedorn,  former  State  Leaguer,  at  left 
guard  for  the  Park,  played  a  wonderful  game  as 
usual.  Aside  from  his  excellent  defensive  work,  he 
also  made  good  on  9  of  11  tries  from  the  foul  line. 
Hegedorn  is  truly  a  wonderful  player.  Cool  and 
composed  throughout  the  game  with  the  knack  of 
knowing  the  right  thing  to  do  at  just  therighttime, 
he  has  become  most  popular  with  the  fans  who 
attend  the  games.  To  use  the  expression  of  one 
of  our  ardent  supporters,  "It  is  worth  the  price  of 
admission  just  to  see  Hegedorn  perform." 

Ralph  Tichenor,  our  "lightning"  forward,  is  the 
big  gun  on  the  other  end  of  the  court.  Ralph  is 
playing  a  great  game. 

The  one  regrettable  factor  in  connection  with 
basketball  this  season  is  the  poor  support  being 
given  by  the  Kodak  Park  people.  At  every  game  the 
largest  share  of  the  tickets  are  purchased  at  the 
gate  by  persons  who  have  no  other  interest  in 
Kodak  other  than  to  see  a  good  game.  As  it 
stands,  basketball  is  a  losing  proposition.  The 
teams  played  to  date  have  been  good.  The  ease 
with  which  our  boys  defeated  them  only  goes  to 
prove  the  caliber  of  the  men  we  have  playing  with 
us. 

Manager  Goodridge  has  tentative  arrangements 
with  a  number  of  the  best  teams  in  the  country, 
teams  which  demand  a  high  guarantee  but  before 
these  contracts  can  be  completed  it  is  necessary 
that  the  fans  assure  him  of  their  support. 

In  the  Owasco  game,  which  was  an  excellent 
exhibition  from  every  point  of  view,  and  for  which 
a  goodly  sum  was  expended  for  the  privilege  of  bring- 
ing them  to  the  Park,  our  treasury  was  "nicked"' 
for  §100.00  to  cover  the  loss. 

If  big  teams  are  wanted,  it  is  up  to  the  fans.  Let 
them  signify  their  wish  for  this  class  of  sport  by 
turning  out  strong  at  the  next  game.  Get  behind 
it  and  keep  the  reputation  which  we  have  earned 
in  years  past. 


We  wish  to  extend  our  sympathy  to  Charles 
Sweet  and  the  other  members  of  his  family  in  their 
recent  bereavement,  the  loss  of  their  little  son  and 
brother,  Julian  James,  who  died  on  December 
ISth.  at  the  age  of  five  and  one-half  years. 


At  the  Christmas  Party  of  the  E.  C.  &  P.  De- 
partments, the  engagement  of  Julienne  Riche  to 
William  Stageman  was  announced.  It  was  also 
the  birthday  of  Mrs.  Martha  Yates  of  the  Folding 
Department.  The  table  was  prettily  decorated 
with  Christmas  baskets  and  holly.  >Liry  Phelau 
and  Belle  McDonald  entertained.

THE  KODAK  MziGAZINE 


FOREMEN  ENTERTAIN   LADIES  AT 
SECOND  ANNUAL  BANQUET 

The  Second  Annual  Ladies'  Night  and  Banquet 
of  the  Kodak  Park  Foremen's  Club  held  in  the 
Kodak  Park  Assembly  Hall,  Thursday  evening, 
January  13th,  was  one  grand  success,  about  six 
hundred  persons,  foremen,  their  wives  and  lady 
friends  being  present. 

An  invitation  had  been  extended  to  the  wives 
and  friends  of  the  members  to  visit  Kodak  Park, 
and  about  two  hundred  and  fifty  took  advantage  of 
an  opportunity  they  had  long  waited  for.  Assem- 
bling at  the  plant  at  four  o'clock,  they  were  con- 
ducted through  the  many  buildings  and  departments 
and  given  a  view  of  our  mammoth  institution. 

At  six  o'clock  dinner  was  served  in  Building 
No.  28  under  the  direction  of  Fred  L.  Grastorf  in 
charge  of  the  restaurants  at  Kodak  Park.  Every 
course  was  excellent,  and  Mr.  Grastorf  was  highly 
complimented   on   his   accomplishments. 

During  the  community  singing,  while  the  dinner 
was  in  progress,  a  new  song,  the  "Woodpecker," 
was  introduced  and  made  a  tremendous  hit.  Near 
the  end  of  the  dinner  "Ben"  J.  Castle,  former 
president  of  the  Club,  was  presented  with  a  purse 
containing  $80.00  in  gold  by  his  associates.  This 
was  followed  by  a  short  talk  by  Mr.  Haste, 
Manager  of  the  Kodak  Park  Works,  compliment- 
ing the  Club  on  the  success  of  their  many  activi- 
ties. The  first  appearance  of  the  "None  Such" 
minstrels  composed  of  members  of  the  Club  was 
the  main  attraction  of  the  evening.  Our  versatile 
George  W.  Engelhardt  introduced  a  feature  never 
before  equalled  at  Kodak  Park,  supported  by  J.  A. 
Hart,  J.  Jenkinson,  A.  Williams  and  C.  J.  Cowans 
as  end  men.  George  playing  the  part  of  the  "Paper 
Hanger's  Friend,"  was  seen  at  his  best.  Solos 
were  sung  by  A.  Williams,  Ferre  Marzluff,  "Ben" 
MacMillan,  W.  Hildebrand  and  F.  D.  Wilmot. 

Dancing  followed  and  was  enjoyed  until  twelve 
o'clock,  providing  a  climax  for  the  evening,  the 
music  being  furnished  by  Damon's  Orchestra. 
The  program  included  Quadrilles,  Virginia  Reel, 
and   several   real   old   fashioned   Two    Steps. 

To  the  committee,  composed  of  J.  Schaffer, 
Chairman;  J.  A.  Hart,  J.  Jenkinson,  A.  Williams, 
P.  C.  Seel,  A.  White,  N.  F.  Bruce,  F.  Gardner,  and 
R.  Sennet,  we  extend  our  congratulations  and 
appreciation  for  this  most  enjoyable  event. 


ROBERT  N.  REID  RE-ELECTED  AS 
KODAK  PARK  REPRESENTATIVE 

At  the  annual  election  held  during  the  last  week 
of  December,  Robert  N.  Reid  of  the  Electrical 
Department  was  re-elected  Kodak  Park  repre- 
sentative to  the  Kodak  Employees'  Association 
(Inc.)  for  the  year  1921. 

The  usual  program  of  electing  departmental 
representatives  was  followed  out,  a  slate  of  five 
candidates  being  prepared,  who  were  voted  for  in 
the  final  ballot. 

Fred  Gardner  of  the  Main  Office  gave  "Bob" 
the  best  run,  receiving  1,105  votes,  although  he 
was  followed  closely  by  Elon  J.  Durfy  of  the  Film 
Department  with  1,064. 

We  extend  to  Robert  N.  Reid  our  congratula- 
tions on  his  re-election  and  our  appreciation  for 
the  able  manner  in  which  he  represented  the  Park 
during  the  past  year.

THE  FIRST  HALF  OF  DANCE  SERIES 
COMPLETED 

The  K.  P.  A.  A.  monthly  dance  series  is  proving 
very  popular  with  the  employees  at  the  Park. 
The  third  party  was  held  New  Year's  Eve  in  the 
Assembly  Hall  and  was  greatly  enjoyed  by  those 
who  attended. 

The  hall  was  beautifully  decorated  in  red  and 
green  with  a  number  of  Christmas  trees,  holly  and 
bells  artistically  arranged  throughout,  giving  it  a 
real  holiday  aspect. 

Every  effort  is  being  made  by  Dr.  Reid,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Association,  Marguerite  Ellis  and 
"Jerry"  Welles  to  make  these  parties  as  entertain- 
ing as  possible,  and  it  is  the  general  consensus  of 
opinion  among  those  who  make  it  a  practice  to 
attend,  that  they  are  succeeding. 

On  each  occasion  some  new  feature  is  intro- 
duced in  addition  to  the  regular  dance  program 
which  has  a  decided  effect  on  the  tone  of  the  affair. 
The  remaining  dances  of  the  series  will  be  held  in 
January,  February  and  March. 


KODAK  PARK  AWARDED  INDUSTRIAL  CUP  AT  FLOWER 
CITY  POULTRY  SHOW 


OFFICERS  FOR  NEW  YEAR  ELECTED 


At  an  exceptionally  well  attended  meeting  of  the 
Kodak  Park  Fur  and  Feather  Club  held  in  the 
Assembly  Hall,  Tuesday  evening,  January  11th,  the 
recent  exhibits  in  which  the  Club  participated  were 
discussed,  officers  elected  for  the  year  1921,  and 
plans  laid  for  the  coming  activities. 

Frank  X.  Hauser  of  the  Cotton  Washing  De- 
partment was  again  re-elected  to  the  office  of 
President.  This  is  Mr.  Hauser's  third  term,  he 
being  President  since  the  organization  of  the  Club. 
Other  officers  were  elected  as  follows:  Vice  Presi- 
dent, Fred  Habel,  Building  No.  12;  Corresponding 
Secretary,  C.  E.  Smith,  Building  No.  33;  Record- 
ing Secretary,  J.  Jansen,  Building  No.  12;  Financial 
Secretary,  F.  W.  Armstrong,    Flash    Powder  De- 


partment; Superintendent  of  Poultry,  S.  Coggar, 
Building  No.  8;  Superintendent  of  Rabbits,  Carl 
Jansen,  Building  No.  23. 

The  beautiful  Cup  awarded  the  Kodak  Park 
Club  at  the  recent  exhibit  held  by  the  Flower 
City  Poultry  Association  is  now  on  exhibition  in 
the  trophy  case  in  the  Assembly  Hall.  It  is  the 
aim  of  the  Kodak  Park  Breeders  to  have  the  best 
organization  of  this  kind  in  the  State,  in  the  In- 
dustrial division,  and  they  are  well  on  the  way 
toward  the  realization  of  this  ambition. 

Tom  Gray  of  the  Dope  Department  is  the  newest 
live  wire  of  the  Club.  At  the  last  meeting  Tom 
turned  in  15  new  applications  with  the  promise  to 
repeat  next  month.

KODAK  QUINTETTES  AMASSING  PRETTY  RECORDS 

PARK  OUTFITS  LEAD  WITH  RECORD  OF  FOURTEEN  VICTORIES 
AND  ONE  LOXE  BEATING 


AROUND  the  Kodak  circuit,  the 
i.  merry  basketball  whirl  continues  to 
proceed  apace.  The  Kodak  Park  teams, 
with  a  long  record  of  achievement  in 
former  seasons,  are  piling  up  another 
enviable  tally-sheet.  At  the  Kodak 
Office,  basketball,  still  in  its  infancy,  has 
taken  the  rank  and  file  by  storm,  arousing 
wild  enthusiasm  of  a  sort  hitherto 
unknown  in  the  cloistered  corridors  of 
the  sixteen-story  building.  The  Hawk- 
Eye  girls  are  adding  fresh  laurels  to 
the  scroll  of  victories  they  started  last 
year,  while  the  St.  Paul  Street  men's 
team  is  showing  the  same  fight  and 
gameness  which  characterizes  all  Hawk- 
Eye  undertakings.  The  Prenio  girls, 
with  a  strong  line-up  of  veteran  court 
stars,  acknowledge  the  superiority  of 
no  quint  in  the  city,  except  the  Kodak 
Park  "Amazons."  The  Camera  \Yorks 
basketball  season  has  been  late  in  starting, 
but  Jack  Robertson's  protegees  expect 
to  make  up  this  handicap  by  their  speed. 
To  tell  the  story,  first,  in  Roger 
Babson's  way,  here  are  the  percentage 
records  of  games  won  and  lost  for  all  of 
the  nine  teams  which  have  so  far  started 
their  season.  The  detailed  scores  of 
these  games  appear  on  page  -44.

The  Kodak  Park  men's  team,  under 
the  managerial  helm  of  "Ed"  Goodridge, 
and  ably  coached  by  "Rip"  Benzoni, 
has  walked  roughshod  over  opposing 
basketeers,  chief  among  its  victims  being 
the  Owasco  Canoe  Club  of  Auburn,  and 
the  Buffalo  K.  of  C.  The  one  form 
reversal  came  at  the  hands  of  the  Perin- 
tons.  well-known  for  their  activity  in 
Pittsford  and  East  Rochester.  CliflF 
Hegedorn,  ex-State  Leaguer,  and  "Hash" 
McNeill,  have  added  speed  to  the  line-up, 
while  Manager  Goodridge  has  but 
recently  annexed  "Doc"  Murray,  whose 
three-sport  skill  has  kept  the  Brockport 
Normal  School  on  the  athletic  map  for 
most  of  the  last  decade. 

With  "Charlie"  Thompson  coaching, 
and  Captain  Harriett  Noble  displaying 
sensational  basketball,  the  Kodak  Park 
girls  have  triumphed  cleanly  over  every 
opponent,  meeting  with  their  tightest 
struggles  in  games  against  their  Kodak 
rivals  from  the  Premo  Works. 

The  Kodak  Office  is  still  surging  with 
delight  over  the  triumphant  wind-up 
of  the  Hawk-Eye  series.  The  addition 
of  "Red"  Gee  as  coach,  and  Roy  Kates, 
the  Pittsford  flash,  and  former  star  at 
Ohio  Northern,  as  forward,  has  boosted 
the  team's  prospects  sky-high.  "Joe"

{Continued  from  page  Ifl) 
own  with  a  vengeance  in  the  Hawk-Eye 
game,  and  will  bear  watching  in  future 
battles. 

The  Office  girls,  with  an  even  break 
for  the  season,  are  planning  to  record 
future  games  on  the  right  side  of  the 
ledger.  Captain  Ruth  Kimmel,  Margaret 
Massing  and  Ruth  Sullivan  form  the 
bulwark  of  the  Office  squad. 

At  Hawk-Eye  the  girls  have  demon- 
strated their  superiority  to  all  rivals 
so  far  met,  with  the  exception  of  the 
apparently  invulnerable  Kodak  Park 
five.  The  Ritter  Dental  girls  edged 
out  a  one-point  victory  in  an  early 
game,  but  the  Hawk-Eye  maids  regis- 
tered decisively  in  the  return  engagement. 
The  Hawk-Eye  men  have  been  playing 
in  hard  luck — there's  no  denying  that. 
Captain  Peterson's  men  have  fought 
two  extra-period  games,  and  three  of 
their   four   encounters    have    found    not 


more    than    two    points    separating    the 
contenders  as  the  final  whistle  sounded. 

Manager  Homer  Ransom  has  again 
turned  out  an  A-1  girls'  team  at  Premo, 
an  aggregation  which  has  registered  one- 
sided victories  over  Kodak  Office  and 
Todds,  while  giving  the  Kodak  Park 
wonders  the  hardest  fights  of  the  season. 

At  Camera  Works,  the  girls  have 
played  but  one  game,  losing  to  Kodak 
Park.  They  picked  the  biggest  to  start 
with;  after  that,  the  rest  ought  to  come 
easy.  The  Camera  Works  men  have 
been  delayed  in  starting  by  the  non- 
arrival  of  their  suits,  but  they  expect 
to  cut  a  wide  swath  the  rest  of  the  winter. 

Basketball!  Basketball!  It's  in  the 
air.  A  Kodak  game  just  about  every 
night  in  the  week — if  you're  that  enthu- 
siastic. And,  one  game  a  week,  at  the 
least,  will  be  good  for  your  system. 
Better  trv  it!

ALL  ABOARD  FOR  BUFFALO! 


YES,  sir!  We're  goin'  to  Buffalo! 
For  the  first  time  since  its  inaugu- 
ration over  twenty  years  ago,  the  grand 
old  Camera  Bowling  League  is  to  send  a 
six-man  team  to  represent  Kodak  at  the 
Annual  Tournament  of  the  American 
Bowling  Congress. 

When  the  officers  of  the  League  first 
conceived  this  idea,  such  ciuestions  arose 
as:  "Whom  shall  we  send?"  and  "How 
will  the  team  be  financed?"  The  Camera 
Bowling  League,  unquestionably,  con- 
tains the  best  bowlers  in  the  company, 
as  well  as  some  of  the  best  pin-smashers 
in  the  entire  Kodak  City.  The  selection 
of  the  men  who  are  called  upon  to  do  the 
"good  work"  was  based  upon  the  follow- 
ing points: — consistency,  high  average — 
both  this  year  and  last,  experience  on 
tournament  alleys,  and  ball  rolled. 
Loaded  balls  are  prohibited  in  the 
National  Tournaments,  so  this  ruling 
forces  out  a  number  of  our  excellent 
bowlers  who  still  stick  to  the  lead. 

It  was  certainly  a  hard  job  that  the 
League  officers  scjuared  up  to  when  they 
started  picking  the  team.  Only  after  a 
great  deal  of  searching  back  in  the 
League  records  to  look  up  last  year's 
averages,  and  much  discussion  and 
deliberation  did  they  finally  divulge 
the  names  of  the  "chosen  six."  And, 
here  they  are : 

Hinterleiter Camera  Works 

Kosel Hawk-Eye 

Kraus Camera  Works 

Mm"a Premo 

Servise .  Kodak  Park 

Vogler Camera  Works 

Now,  as  to  that  necessary  "root  of 
evil" — financing  the  team.  We'll  all 
agree  that  this  matter  of  sending  this 
team  to  Buffalo  is  an  organization  affair 
and  that  each  plant  will  benefit  from  the 
resultant  interest  in  bowling.  Accord- 
ingly, each  of  the  six  Athletic  Associations 
and  Recreation  Clubs  was  asked  to 
consider  a  per  capita  appropriation 
to  make  up  the  essential  sum.  And, 
like  the  good  sports  they  are,  they  all 


"came  across"  and  agreed  to  furnish 
the  "dough." 

All  aboard  for  Buffalo!  Surely  this 
is  the  psychological  time  to  send  a 
Kodak  team  to  an  A.  B.  C.  tournament, 
because  of  the  fact  that  the  tournament 
city  is  so  near.  If  our  Kodak  team 
makes  a  good  showing  this  season,  the 
chances  for  our  representation  in  future 
tournaments  are  one  hundred  per  cent, 
good.  So,  bowlers,  it's  up  to  you.  The 
Associations  and  Clubs  have  done  their 
part — and  nobly. 

Watch  the  March  issue  of  the  Magazine 
for  the  dates  of  the  Kodak  matches. 
And — everybody  "squeeze!" 


MORE  STARS  IN  TENNIS  FIRMAMENT 

Another  of  those  comparatively  young 
organizations,  which  has  nevertheless 
had  a  thriving  growth,  is  the  Rochester 
Tennis  League.  Increasing  interest  in 
the  League  has  been  shown  each  year  by 
the  court  enthusiasts  of  Rochester.  And 
each  season  has  seen  Kodak  Park  repre- 
sented by  a  first-class  team  which  has 
held  its  own  successfully  against  Bausch 
&  Lomb,  the  Melville  players,  the  Roch- 
ester Tennis  Club,  and  the  other  members 
of  the  League. 

The  1920  season  likewise  saw  tennis 
tournaments  staged  at  Hawk-Eye  and 
Camera  Works.  With  the  Kodak  Office 
Recreation  Club  coming  strong,  it  seems 
only  reasonable  to  expect  that  at  least  these 
three  larger  plants  of  the  Kodak  company 
will  seek  entrance  into  the  city  circuit 
for  the  19'-21  season.  And,  of  course, 
there  is  no  "blue  sky  law"  to  prevent 
Premo  and  Century  from  jumping  into 
the  ring  with  both  feet  if  they  feel  that 
their  smaller  number  of  players  will 
enable  them  to  stand  the  gaff. 

So,  if  things  go  right,  perhaps  we'll 
be  having  a  little  "Davis  Cup"  competi- 
tion of  our  own  right  here  in  The  Kodak 
City  this  summer.  Which,  says  the 
Racket-Bug,  means  some  more  notations 
for  the  little  old  date-book.

STRIKES,  SPLITS  AND 
SPARES 

(Alley  Dust  from  the  Camera  Bowling  League) 

By  "OCHSY" 

For  the  love  o'  "Pop,"  somebody  take  a 
game  or  tvro  from  Kodak  Park!  Yell  "Stop, 
Thief!"  Maybe  they'll  get  scared  and  drop 
a  few. 

"Pete"  Breemes.  of  the  Folmer-Century 
Maple-topplers,  speaks  a  little  piece  which 
runs  something  like  this: 

"I'm  just  a  little  bowler, 

It's  strikes,  not  splits,  I  seek. 
I  feel  a  little  nervous; 

I  guess  I'll  take  my  seat." 

Xow,  for  the  final  drivel  Sprinkle  sand 
on  the  floor,  you  cellar  champs.  Leave  the 
"home  bruise"  alone,  and  "cop"  a  few. 

"Charlie"  Xatt,  of  the  Kodak  Park  Ter- 
riers, says  that  the  aim  of  the  bowler  is  to 
make  a  hit  with  every  Miss.  Ask  Chawles 
if  he  made  a  homer  at  that  Lake  Avenue 
bowling  party. 

As  a  mark  of  appreciation  of  their  hard 
work  and  striking  devotion  to  duty,  don't 
you  think  we  should  give  the  officers  of  the 
Camera  Bowling  League  a  little  trip  to  Cul)a 
to  rest  up? 

Yes — and  we'll  let  them  all  go  together;  so 
no  one  of  the  three  will  run  a  chance  of  get- 
ting lost  in  the  crowds. 

In  a  recent  game  the  Folmer-Century 
team  was  going  like  a  house  afire,  when  one 
of  the  five  began  to  "fall  down."  Another 
member  of  the  team  exclaimed:  "Why,  Mike, 
what's  the  matter.'  We're  not  falling."  To 
which  Mike  replied:  "Don't  you  worry  when 
/  stumble.  Remember,  a  worm's  about  the 
onlv  thins  that  cant  fall  down  I" 


The  final  drive  for  the  trophy  ought  to 
see  a  pretty  race  between  Kodak  Park  and 
Camera  Works.  The  State  Streeters  will 
have  a  crowd  of  howling  fans  at  the  Genesee 
every  Saturday  to  help  the  team  beat  the 
leaders. 

Are  you  going  to  Bufl'Mlo  with  the  Kudak 
team.' 


HOCKEY  TEAM  IDEA  ABANDONED 

Yes,  blame  the  weather.  Last  fall, 
when  the  ducks  and  geese  took  to  the 
wing  for  a  warmer  winter  home  than 
these  northern  regions  of  ours  could 
offer,  plans  were  laid  for  the  formation 
of  a  hockey  team,  and  prospects  loomed 
bright  for  a  good  season  of  cold  weather 
and  lots  of  ice. 

But  our  migratory  prophets,  it  seems, 
fooled  themselves  as  well  as  the  Kodakers 
who  were  hopefully  looking  forward  to 
a  number  of  snappy  games  on  the  ice 
with  the  hickory  clubs  and  the  puck. 
^yith  our  winter  season  half  over  and 
no  ice  to  speak  of,  in  sight,  there  appears 
to  be  no  other  alternative  than  to  call 
off  our  well-laid  plans  for  a  hockey  team. 

^Yhen  the  idea  of  forming  a  plant 
hockey  team  was  first  broached  early 
last  fall,  a  number  of  men  signified  their 
intention  of  coming  out  for  the  team. 
In  fact,  every  Kodak  plant  in  the  city 
had  enough  aspirants  to  form  a  company 
league,  and  now  everything  has  gone 
"blooie."  Reason?  Xo  ice.  So,  upon 
the  shelf  has  gone  the  idea  of  forming  a 
team  for  this  season. 

Let's  hope  that  next  winter  will  bring 
the  one  necessary  requisite  for  a  hockey 
game — ice.  In  the  meantime,  players, 
why  not  try  a  few  s^N'ings  at  a  golf  ball 
now  and  then  to  kee})  in  form  for  next 
winter's  battles? 


KODAK  TEAMS  IN  CITY  INDOOR  LEAGti: 

The  City  Indoor  Baseball  League  is 
making  another  good  record,  due  in  no 
small  part  to  the  efforts  of  the  three 
Kodak  teams  in  its  list  of  members. 
Hawk-Eye  is  a  strong  contender,  while 
there  are  two  Camera  Works  teams  in 
the  League,  the  regular  Camera  Works 
team,  and  the  Camekos.  The  season 
is  still  yoimg,  and  any  one  of  the  three 
teams  still  has  a  good  chance  for  the 
title. 

The  Camera  Works  Indoor  League  is 
also  going  strong,  and  the  Toolmakers 
will  have  a  job  cut 'out  to  hold  the  trophy 
thev  won  last  vear.

GOVERNMENT  SUIT  SETTLED 

WE  ARE  NOW  IX  POSITION  TO  BUILD  UP  A  STILL  GREATER   KODAK  ORGANIZATION" 
ANT)  \MLL  REQUIRE  THE  AID  OF  EA'ERY  EFFICIENT  EMPL0\T:E 


MOST  of  you  have  read  in  the  daily 
papers  statements  regarding  oiir 
government  suit. 

The  grounds  upon  which  this  suit 
was  brought  are  famiHar  to  you  all,  and 
so  what  you  are  most  interested  in  is 
the  final  outcome. 

The  suit  has  been  settled.  Under 
the  decree  which  we  have  accepted,  we 
are  to  sell  certain  specified  divisions 
of  our  business,  in  some  cases  including 
the  factories.  The  sale  of  any  of  our 
factories  was  the  one  thing  that  the 
company  endeavored  to  avoid  in  making 
this  settlement,  but  after  the  most 
strenuous  efforts  that  the  representatives 
of  the  company  couhl  make  the  Govern- 
ment refused  to  yield  on  this  point. 
It  was  made  clear  to  the  Government 
that  the  sale  of  any  of  our  factories 
would  result  in  the  separation  from  the 
Kodak  organization  of  employees  who 
would  regret  deeply  such  separation 
and  who  would  necessarily  lo.se  the 
benefits  derived  from  Kodak  wage 
dividends  and  Kodak  stock  distribution 
and  many  other  features  peculiar  to  the 
Kodak  organization.  It  was  hoped  that 
this  consideration  would  appeal  to  the 
Government,  and  we  believe  that  in  a 
measure  it  did,  but  the  representatives 
of  the  Government  felt  that  under  the 
terms  of  the  decree  of  the  District 
Court  they  had  no  option  but  must 
insist  ui)on  some  division  of  the  manu- 
facturing plants,  so  that  there  was 
nothing  for  the  company  to  do  but  to 
accede  to  this  point. 

There  are   naturallv   manv   details  as 


yet  to  be  worked  out,  but  we  are  given 
ample  time  in  which  to  do  this,  and  to 
consider  and  plan  as  far  as  we  can  for 
the  continued  well-being  of  all  employees 
who  have  worked  with  us  in  building 
up  the  Kodak  organization. 

To  proceed:  ^\Tiat  is  known  as  the 
Folmer  and  Schwing-Century  Division 
is  to  be  sold,  including  the  trade  names 
Graflex,  Graphic  and  Century,  and  also 
including  the  factory  with  all  tools  and 
equipment. 

Similarly  we  are  to  sell  the  Premo 
factory  and  equipment  and  the  trade 
name,  Premo. 

The  trade  name,  Artura,  is  to  be  sold 
and  with  it  we  are  to  disclose  to  the 
purclia.ser  the  Artura  formula. 

We  are  also  to  sell  the  trade  names. 
Seed,  Stanley  and  Standard,  and  disclose 
to  the  purchasers  of  those  trade  names 
the  formulas  for  those  brands  of  plates. 

If  an  intending  purchaser  of  one  or 
more  of  the  above  brands  of  paper  or 
plates  is  desirous  of  purchasing  a  factory, 
we  are  to  sell  the  American  Aristo  plant 
at  Jamestown,  at  a  fair  and  reasonable 
j)rice. 

We  have  two  years,  if  necessary,  in 
which  to  make  such  sales.  If  at  the 
end  of  that  time  the  sales  have  not  l>een 
made,  the  properties  are  to  be  put  up  at 
auction,  but  with  a  minimum  price  to  be 
agreed  upon  between  the  (jovernment 
and  ourselves. 

The  two  camera  factories  affected 
will  be  operated  by  us  to  the  fullest 
possible  extent  until  a  sale  has  been  made, 
and    there    will    be    Graflex    antl    Premo 


THE  KODAK  ]VL\GAZINE 


catalogs,  and  advertising  of  those  lines 
as  in  the  past.  We  shall  also  continne 
until  the  sale  is  eflfected,  to  supply 
Artura  j:)aper  and,  under  their  original 
trade  names,  such  of  the  brands  of  Seed, 
Standard  and  Stanley  plates  as  we 
acquired  and  are  now  producing. 

Certain  of  the  products  now  marketed 
under  the  Seed,  Standard  and  Stanley 
names  were,  however,  originated  in  our 
own  factories,  were  not  a  part  of  our 
purchase  from  the  Seed,  Stanley  or 
Standard  companies,  are  not  therefore 
subject  to  the  court  order  and  will,  at 
the  earliest  possible  date,  be  marketed 
under  new  trade  names. 

It  is  the  avowed  object  of  the  Sherman 
law  to  provide  for  the  widest  possible 
competition.  Obviously,  then,  we  are 
not  prohibited  from  making  paper  and 
plates  to  compete  with  the  brands  that 
we  part  with.  This  we  shall  do,  and 
in  the  case  of  paper  and  jilates,  we  shall 
have  the  same  skill,  the  same  plant,  and 
the  same  men  as  we  have  now. 

So  far  as  the  cameras  are  concerned, 
the  conditions  are  different.  We  are 
to  sell  factories  and  machinery  and  tools 
and  goods  in  process,  as  well  as  the  trade 
names.  Obviously,  we  cannot  immedi- 
ately come  out  with  competing  lines. 

Although  the  terms  of  the  settlement 


in  some  respects  are  severe  and,  as  we 
have  felt,  unwarranted,  still  in  many 
respects  we  shall  presently  be  in  a  better 
position  than  ever  to  go  on  with  our 
develoj)ment  of  photography,  many  ele- 
ments of  doubt  and  uncertainty  having 
been  removed. 

The  manufacturing  ends  of  Kodak 
Park,  the  Camera  Works  and  the  Hawk- 
Eye  Works,  are  unaffected  and  the 
organization  of  our  sensitized  goods 
department  remains  intact. 

So,  wherever  you  are  employed  in  the 
organization,  continue  giving  a  good 
day's  service  for  your  wage,  and  rest 
assured  that  the  company  will  continue 
to  grow,  and  that  there  will  be  room 
and  welcome  for  every  efficient  employee. 

Mr.  Eastman  remarked  twenty  years 
ago  that  "We  can  hold  our  position  in 
the  trade  just  as  long  as  we  make  better 
goods  than  the  other  fellow  and  no 
longer." 

Many  of  our  most  important  basic 
patents  ran  out  years  ago;  our  "terms 
of  sale"  were  abandoned  eight  years  ago, 
and  yet  last  year  was  by  far  the  greatest 
year  in  the  history  of  our  business. 
Does  this  look  discouraging?  It  does 
not.  Work  today  and  for  tomorrow, 
and  remember  that  a  growing  organiza- 
tion always  needs  every  efficient  and 
reliable  employee  it  can  secure. 


THE  THIRD  QUARTERLY  AMATEUR  PHOTOGRAPHIC 

COMPETITION 


CLOSING  DATE  APRIL  30th 


KODAK  PARK  walked  off  with  first 
and  second  honors  in  our  Second 
Quarterly  Amateur  Photographic  Compe- 
tition, and  rumor  has  it  that  they  boast 
of  being  able  to  keep  up  the  pace. 

How  about  it,  you  folks  in  the  other 
plants.^ 

True  enough,  Kodak  Park  is  our 
biggest  plant,  and  so  for  this  reason  the 
odds  may  be  slightly  in  their  favor,  but 
we  are  willing  to  wager  that  all  our 
good    amateur    photographers    are    not 


corralled  within  their  confines.  Premo 
and  Main  Office  declare  their  hats  in 
the  ring  for  first  honors  in  the  Third 
Competition,  so  come  on  Hawk-Eye, 
Camera  Works  and  Folmer-Century  and 
give  them  a  good  battle. 

The  Third  Contest  closes  April  30th. 
Awards  the  same  as  in  previous  contests 
—$50.00,  $25.00,  $L5.00,  $10.00.  Sub- 
jects: Snow  Scenes,  Winter  Sports,  Still 
Life  Pictures.  The  contest  conditions 
were  given  in  full  in  the  January  issue. 


THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


BULLETIN  IMPROVEMENT  CONTEST 

CASH  AWARDS:  $^25.00,  $lo.OO,  $10.00 


NO  one  person,  or  group  of  persons, 
can  have  a  monopoly  on  ideas.  In 
fact,  any  man,  or  group  of  men,  with  good 
ideas,  is  quite  apt  to  exhibit  a  sameness 
in  his  work  which,  in  time,  appears 
monotonous. 

It  was  this  fact  that  led  up  to  the 
inauguration  of  our  highly  successful 
Suggestion  System. 

We  want  to  try  the  experiment  a  bit 
further;  perhaps  you  might  call  it  an 
arm  or  a  wing  of  the  Suggestion  System. 
We  want  suggestions  from  you,  tending  to 
improve  our  bulletin  service,  and  to 
arouse  interest  in  our  bulletins  so  that 
they  Avill  be  looked  for  and  read  by  every 
employee. 

A  bulletin  service  to  be  of  interest,  must 
be  in  a  way  a  sort  of  tabloid  newspaper, 
informing  you  of  coming  company  events, 
changes  in  policy,  and  such  other  things 
of  interest  as  should  be  brought  to  your 
attention. 

W^e  have  tried  to  make  our  bulletin 
service  cover  the  widest  possible  range, 
and  to  present  the  news  in  attractive 
form,  but,  as  we  said  before,  no  one  man, 
or  group  of  men,  can  have  all  the  good 
ideas.  We  want  your  assistance;  we  want 
new  ideas,  new  or  improved  methods  for 
presenting  them  on  the  bulletin  boards, 
and  we  are  willing  to  pay  for  such  aid. 

To  make  it  worth  your  while,  we  will 
pay  twenty-five  dollars  for  the  best 
consirudive  criticism  of  our  bulletin 
service;  fifteen  dollars  for  the  second  best, 
and  ten  dollars  for  tlie  tliird  l)est  criticism. 

If  you  can  think  of  topics  upon  which 
we  have  not  touched  but  which,  in  your 
opinion,  should  be  included,  tell  us. 

If  you  can  })oint  the  way  to  more  at- 
tractive, or  more  interesting  bulletins,  let 
us  know. 

If  you  can  suggest  something  practical 
in  the  way  of  more  compelling  illustra- 
tions for  the  bulletins,  or  that  will  give 
them  greater  attention  value,  pass  the 
news  to  us. 


We  will  not  limit  you  as  to  the  length 
of  your  criticism,  Init  it  must  be  con- 
structive; it  must,  to  win  an  award,  point 
the  way  to  improvement. 

This  Bulletin  Improvement  Contest  is 
open  to  all  employees  and  will  close 
March  31,  1921. 

In  addition  to  the  above  awards,  we 
will  pay  two  dollars  for  every  original 
slogan  which  can  be  used  for  any  one  of 
our  various  bulletins  (Thrift,  Safety, 
Health,  Recreation,  etc.),  and  ten  dollars 
additional  for  the  best  slogan  submitted 
between  now  and  September  first.  The 
slogan  should  be  a  short,  snappy  phrase, 
not  exceeding  ten  words. 

Study  the  bulletin  boards,  take  a  look 
every  time  you  pass  one,  and  then  show 
us  the  way  to  improve  them. 


NO.  41  NORTH  FITZHUGH 

If  you  happen  to  be  a  girl  and  com- 
pelled through  force  of  circumstances 
to  live  in  a  single  room,  receiving  gentle- 
men friends  becomes  a  trial  instead  of  a 
pleasure,  and  is  often  even  prohibitive. 

The  Girl's  Friendly  Society  of 
Rochester  was  organized  to  meet  just 
such  emergencies. 

Over  at  No.  41  North  Fitzhugh  Street 
you  will  find  the  jolliest  sort  of  a  girls' 
club  house.  It  is  equipped  with  tele- 
phone, piano,  books  and  magazines, 
and  all  the  homey  things. 

The  house  is  open  every  day;  on 
week  days  from  11  A.  M.  to  10  P.  M., 
and  on  Sundays  from  1  I*.  M.  to  10  P.  M. 

Everything  is  free,  including  a  most 
hearty  welcome;  just  walk  in,  say  "how 
do  you  do,"  and  make  yourself  at  home. 

You  and  your  particular  group  of  girl 
friends  can  spend  a  pleasant  hour  or  so 
any  evening. 

Sure  you  can  invite  your  gentlemen 
friends  to  go  along,  or  to  meet  you  there 
to  spend  the  evening,  or  to  call  for  you 
if  you  have  a  theatre  engagement. 

Trv  it  once  and  you'll  get   the  habit. 


THE  KODAK  ^L\GAZIXE 


TWELVE  WEEKS'  WORK 


FROM  foundation  to  topmost  girder 
in  twelve  weeks!  That's  the  con- 
struction record  for  Kodak  Park's  latest 
building,  No.  52.  This  new  building, 
which  is  located  on  the  north  side  of  the 
Park,  extending  nearly  to  Eastman 
Avenue,  is  the  largest  single  structural 
steel  job  ever  erected  by  the  company. 
Three  thousand  tons  of  steel  have  entered 
into  its  construction  and  it  covers  nearly 
an  acre  of  ground.  Building  o'i,  when 
completed,  will  be  used  for  the  manu- 
facture of  film  base.  In  its  finished  form, 
it  will  be  365  feet  6  inches  long,  114  feet 
wide  and  75  feet  high.  The  floors  and 
roof  will  be  of  concrete,  while  bricks  to 
the  number  of  three  million  will  be  used 
for  building  the  walls. 

The  accompanying  pliotograj)hs  give  a 
first-rate  idea  of  the  progress  made  during 
the  twelve  weeks  ending  February  4, 
1921.  Illustration  No.  1  shows  the  site 
of  Building  52  as  it  appeared  on  Novem- 
ber 11,  1920,  with  the  foundation  com- 
pleted and  a  standard  gauge  railroad 
track  in  position  for  the  erection  work. 
The  photograph  taken  on  February  4, 
1921,  just  eighty-four  days  later  (Illustra- 
tion No.  2)  shows  the  completed  steel 
framework.  On  November  11th,  the 
first  columns  for  the  new  building  had 
arrived  at  Kodak  Park.  Each  column 
came  all  assembled  and  loaded  on  two 
flat  cars  (it  required  the  entire  length  of 
two  such  cars  to  accommodate  one  of 
these  massive  columns).  Each  column 
was  then  erected  to  its  full  height  at  a 
single  operation,  by  a  huge  locomotive 
crane,  with  boom  85  feet  in  length.  This 
crane  is  also  shown  in  Illustration  No.  2. 
The  men  engaged  in  the  construction 
of  the  new  building  "hitched  their  wagon 
to  a  star" — their  goal  being  to  erect  an 
average  of  sixty  tons  of  material  every 
day.  Favored  by  good  weather,  they 
have  been  able  to  keep  right  uj)  to  this 
schedule.  Forty  thousand  rivets  will  be 
required  to  complete  the  work  and  this 
is  a  task  which  will  occupy  several 
months.  Air  for  the  riveting  hammers  is 
supplied  by  a  steam-driven  air-compres- 


sor mounted  on  a  reinforced  standard 
freight  car.  The  boiler  of  this  compressor 
is  fired  with  fuel  oil,  as  is  also  the  boiler 
of  the  locomotive  crane.  In  this  way, 
the  fire  hazard  of  a  coal-fired  boiler  is 
eliminated.  The  completed  building  will 
contain  permanent  cranes,  the  largest  one 
having  a  span  of  67  feet  and  a  lifting  ca- 
pacity of  80,000  pounds. 

The  American  Bridge  Company  was 
the  successful  bidder  for  this  contract, 
and  their  superintendent,  Mr.  Smith,  has 
worked  with  our  Engineering  and  Main- 
tenance Department  in  the  construction 
of  this  latest  addition  to  the  company's 
assemblage   of   manufacturing   buildings. 


TO  AID  THE  HOME  BUILDER 

"Home  Keeping  Hearts  Are  Happiest," 
so  runs  the  adage.  And  one  of  the  best 
ways  to  insure  a  happy  home  is  to  own 
the  house  in  w^iich  you  live.  Recognizing 
this  fact,  the  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan 
Association  has  made  preparations  to 
furnish  to  members  as  part  of  its  service, 
a  carefully  selected  variety  of  house  de- 
signs. The  Association  will  also  furnish 
plans  which  will  enable  any  capable 
building  contractor  to  construct  the  house 
desired  without  employing  the  services  of 
an  architect.  This  method  will  enable 
members  of  the  Association  to  procure 
such  plans  at  a  considerable  saving. 

To  obtain  an  idea  regarding  the  sort 
of  designs  and  plans  for  houses  which  the 
majority  of  members  would  prefer,  the 
Association  has  prepared  a  "Housing 
Questionnaire."  If  you  contemplate 
building,  procure  a  copy  of  this  Housing 
Questionnaire  from  your  foreman  or  de- 
partment head,  fill  it  out  and  send  it  to 
the  Industrial  Relations  Department,  343 
State  Street. 

The  company  likewise  is  anxious  to 
obtain  data  which  will  enable  it  to  decide 
whether  or  not  it  is  now  advisable  to  con- 
sider the  building  of  any  houses  for  sale 
to    employees.  Your    replies    to    this 

questionnaire  will  have  a  material  bearing 
upon  this  decision.

BUSINESS  CONDITIONS 

ALL  SIGNS  POINT  TOWARDS  IMPRO^^MENT 


IT  is  safe  to  state  that  general  condi- 
tions are  improving.  To  be  safe, 
however,  the  process  must  necessarily 
be  slow  because  there  are  so  many  loose 
threads  to  be  gathered  up,  and  haste 
in  either  thought  or  action  would  only 
result  in  a  more  hopeless  tangle  than 
we  have  been  undergoing. 

At  the  present  time,  the  movement 
of  the  crops,  and  particularly  grain  and 
live  stock,  is  practically  normal;  the 
money  situation  is  relaxing  with  a  fair 
degree  of  trade  revival. 

We  have,  from  time  to  time,  given 
you  excerpts  from  the  monthly  letter 
of  the  National  City  Bank  of  New  York, 
on  current  economic  conditions.  That 
there  is  an  earnest  and  sincere  effort 
on  the  part  of  all  thinking  men  to  effect 
the  earliest  possible  satisfactory  solution 
making  for  healthy  conditions,  is  evi- 
denced from  its  report.  It  says  in  part: 
"The  important  thing  in  this  readjust- 
ment is  the  maintenance  of  the  equilib- 
rium in  industry,  so  that  the  various 
branches  of  industry  will  continue  to  be 
nmtually  supporting.  The  market  for 
the  products  of  each  industry  is  with  the 
people  employed  in  the  other  industries. 

"^Yhen  it  comes  to  putting  prices  down, 
there  are  almost  infinite  difficulties  and 
obstructions  to  be  overcome.  Everybody 
fights  it  so  far  as  his  own  products  or 
services  are  concerned,  and,  by  doing  so 
delays  the  restoration  of  the  equilibrium. 

"It  does  no  good  to  be  ill-tempered 
or  harshly  critical  in  discussing  wages 
and  prices.  People  are  naturally  biased 
in  favor  of  their  own  interests,  and  if 
they  really  understand  their  own  inter- 
ests, the  results  will  not  be  bad  because 
the  economic  law  is  such  that  interests 
do  not  in  fact  conflict  nearly  so  much 
as  is  commonly  supposed. 

"It  is  not  agreeable  to  disturb  wages, 
but  the  fact  is  that  wages  have  been 
disturbed  by  forces  over  which  nobody 
has  control.     When  many  wage  earners 


have  already  lost  their  jobs,  and  many 
of  the  others  are  only  working  part 
time,  it  is  apparent  that  wages  have 
been  reduced.  The  unfortunate  thing 
is  that  they  have  been  reduced  in  a 
manner  which  accomplishes  nothing. 
The  ability  of  wage  earners  to  buy  for 
consumption  has  been  reduced,  without 
redvicing  costs  in  the  industries  and 
without  corresponding  reduction  of  their 
own  living  costs.  For  instance,  the 
baker  cannot  reduce  the  price  of  bread 
to  correspond  with  the  reduction  in  flour 
because  flour  is  only  one  item  in  his  costs. 
His  labor,  delivery  costs,  machinery, 
coal,  freight  charges,  supplies,  etc.,  which 
mainly  represent  labor,  have  not  come 
down  to  correspond  with  wheat  or  flour. 

"The  employers  and  employees  in  a 
given  industry  may  agree  harmoniously 
upon  a  given  scale  of  wages,  but  if  that 
scale  involves  an  increase  in  the  cost 
of  the  product  to  consumers  and  con- 
sumption falls  off,  employment  will 
fall  off,  and  the  total  sum  disbursed 
to  wage  earners  may  be  less  than  if  the 
wage  rates  were  lower. 

"There  is  a  certain  price  for  every 
product  which  promotes  the  largest 
distribution,  and  a  certain  adjustment 
of  relations  between  the  industries  which 
promotes  a  free,  full  exchange  of  commo- 
dities, and  results  in  the  largest  demand 
for  goods  and  services.  That  is  the 
situation  which  gives  prosperity,  while  a 
disruption  of  such  relations  results  in  a 
deadlock. 

"The  farmers  are  planning  in  some 
localities  to  reduce  production  to  raise 
prices,  but  it  will  not  help  the  town 
workers  to  have  the  equilibrium  restored 
in  that  manner.  The  latter  can  better 
afford  to  take  lower  wages,  accompanied 
by  lower  living  costs. 

"When  everybody  is  willing  to  guide 
his  actions  by  policies  that  will  serve 
the  interests  of  the  community  to  the 
best    advantage,    conditions    will   be   far

betterfor  everybody.  Ignorance  of  mutual 
interests,  of  course,  causes  most  of  the 
trouble. 

"It  is  impossible  to  concentrate  social 
responsibility  upon  a  few,  or  for  the 
govei'nment  to  assume  it.  The  great 
body  of  the  people  must  share  in  it. 
Xobody  can  do  very  much  for  the  people 
but  the  people  themselves.     They  must 


understand  the  interest  they  have  in 
sound  public  policies,  and  that  there 
can  be  no  sound  public  policies  without 
their  co-operation.  It  is  even  more 
important  that  people  shall  develop 
character  than  that  they  shall  be  com- 
fortable, and  that  requires  that  they 
shall  exercise  forethought  and  the 
resolution  to  care  for  themselves." 


GOING  STRONG 

EASTMAX  SAVINGS  AXD  LOAN  ASSOCIATION  GROWING  EVERY  DAY 


A  GLANCE  at  the  tabulation  on  the 
back  cover  of  this  issue  will  explain 
the  reason  for  the  highly  satisfied  smile 
on  the  face  of  Secretary  Bartholomew  of 
the  Eastman  Sa\4ngs  and  Loan 
Association. 

The  advantages  offered  by  the  Associa- 
tion are  so  evident  that  no  concerted 
"drive"  for  membership  has  been  deemed 
necessary. 

When  it  comes  to  owning  a  home  as 
against  paying  rent,  the  advantage  is  all 
on  the  side  of  the  home  owTier. 

Suppose,  for  the  sake  of  illustration, 
you  are  paying  $50.00  a  month  rent.  At 
the  end  of  ten  years  you  will  have  handed 
over  to  your  landlord,  the  tidy  little  sum 
of  $6,000;  quite  an  amount,  is  it  not? 

If,  at  the  end  of  ten  years,  you  move, 
you  are,  financially,  just  where  you 
started,  you  are  ten  years  older,  and  your 
earning  expectancy  has  decreased  to  just 
that  extent. 

Supposing  now,  you  wish  to  build,  or 
buy,  a  modest  little  home,  being  content 
to  consider  the  mansion  proposition  later. 
As  a  basis,  we  will  put  the  cost  at  $5,000, 
and  assume  that  you  vnW  expend  the  same 
amount  per  month  as  you  would  have 
paid  out  as  rent,  $50.00.  At  the  end  of 
the  period,  you  own  a  home,  free  and 
clear,  worth  $5,000. 

You  wall  have  had  to  pinch  a  little 
harder  than  the  rent  payer,  as  you  will 
have  had  to  expend  a  certain  amount  for 
taxes,  insurance  and  repairs,  but  it  has 
paid. 


If  you  had  been  paying  rent,  you  would, 
in  all  probability,  have  spent  this  extra 
amount  and  had  nothing  to  show  for  it. 

The  following  table  shows  the  amount 
paid  out  in  rent  for  a  period  of  ten  years. 

$25 .  00  per  month $3,000 .  00 

$30 .  00  per  month 3,600 .  00 

$50 .  00  per  month 6,000 .  00 

$75 .  00  per  month 9,000 .  00 

Why  not  keep  this  money  yourself? 

Let  us  repeat  a  previous  warning  to 
intending  home  purchasers:  If  you  in- 
tend paying  for  your  home  through  shares 
in  the  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Associa- 
tion, do  not  sign  a  contract  of  sale  unless 
it  specifically  includes  the  clause  that  the 
sale  is  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
officials  of  the  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan 
Association.  Tliis  protects  you  from  the 
loss  of  any  payment  made  on  the  con- 
tract in  case  the  loan  is  rejected  by  the 
Association;  it  also  protects  you  from 
buying  property  at  more  than  it  is  worth, 
and  from  property  to  which  a  clear  title 
cannot  be  secured. 

Also,  if  your  loan  has  been  accepted  by 
the  Association,  please  bear  in  mind  that 
it  takes  from  two  to  three  weeks  to  make 
the  necessary  investigations  and  close  the 
contracts.

taste  runs  to  diamond  pins  or  rolling  pins.

The  thoroughly  contented  person  is 
usually  satisfied  with  very  little. 

If  Columbus  had  been  contented  with 
his  small  job  over  in  Spain,  the  capital 
city  of  Ohio  would  have  had  to  be  given 
another  name. 

If  Thomas  Edison  had  been  contented 
with  his  first  job,  he  might  have  con- 
tinued passing  up  and  down  the  day 
coaches  of  a  Michigan  railroad,  selling 
"peanuts,  popcorn,  chewing  gum  and 
cigars,"  and  we  might  have  had  to  do 
without  motion  pictures,  the  incandescent 
lamp  and  "canned"  music. 

If — but  why  add  to  the  list? 

If  you  are  not  contented  with  yourself 
and  what  you  are  doing,  you  will  not  be 
satisfied  until  you  have  bettered  yourself. 

Discontent  is  a  good  sign,  unless  you 
allow  it  to  become  ingrowing  and  develop 
into  a  grouch. 

The  thoroughly  contented,  thoroughly 
satisfied  individual  is  a  bar  to  progress; 
he  sits  dowTi  and  "lets  the  rest  of  the 
world  go  by"  instead  of  leading  the  van. 


The  discontented  man  is  the  man  who 
gets  things  done;  his  motives  may  be 
selfish  in  seeking  new  and  better  ways  of 
doing  things,  l)ut  when  he  succeeds  he 
benefits  all  the  rest  of  us. 

Why  do  so  many  men  who  have 
amassed  a  competence  remain  in  business? 
It  is  because  the  overcoming  of  obstacles 
has  become  a  pleasure  to  them.  Without 
question,  they  are  at  times  temporarily 
satisfied  with  some  achievement,  but  they 
are  not  content  to  let  it  go  at  that. 

If  you  are  suffering  from  the  right  sort 
of  discontent,  you  will  get  somew^here;  the 
suggestion  system  affords  one  way  out. 


Every  once  or  twice  in  a  while,  someone 
remarks,  "Why,  I  didn't  know  about 
that" — usually  with  reference  to  some 
recreational  or  other  company  activity. 

Nevertheless,  the  announcement  was 
made  in  good  time  and  displayed  on  our 
bulletin  boards. 

If  you  w'ant  to  keep  posted  as  to 
w^hat  is  doing  in  company  affairs,  get 
the  habit  of  reading  what  is  on  the 
bulletin  boards  regularly. 

The  bulletins  are  changed  frequently — 
sometimes  oftener  than  twice  a  week — 
so  if  you  do  not  keep  your  eye  on  them, 
you  are  quite  apt  to  miss  something  of 
importance. 

Keep  your  eye  on  the  bulletin  boards!

KODAK  EMPLOYEES  ASSOCIATION 


THE  regular  meeting  of  the  Directors 
of  the  Kodak  Employees  Association 
(Incorporated)  was  held  on  February  9th, 
1921,  at  the  Main  Office  Building.  '  The 
President,  Mr.  Eastman,  was  unavoidably 
absent,  and  Mr.  Rogers  presided.  All  the 
rest  of  the  Board  were  present  except 
Mr.  Robertson,  who  is  having  a  vacation 
in  the  South.  Mr.  Haight,  ^Slr.  Gorham 
and  Mr.  Turner  also  met  with  the  Board. 
It  was  voted  to  require  borrowers  from 
the  Association  upon  mortgage  loans  to 
pay  an  attorney's  fee  amounting  to  one- 
half  of  one  per  cent  of  the  amount  of  the 
loan,  any  such  fee  to  be  not  less  than 
$10.00,  unless  the  first  mortgage  on  the 
property  is  taken  by  the  Eastman  Savings 
and  Loan  Association;  and  in  that  case,  the 
attorney's  fee  will  be  no  more  than  one- 
half  of  one  per  cent  of  the  amount  of  the 
loan.  This  action  was  taken  because  the 
attorney's  fees,  fixed  by  the  Loan  Associa- 
tion, which  were  purposely  made  very 
low  so  as  to  burden  the  employees  with 
the  smallest  possible  expense  in  connec- 
tion with  mortgage  loans,  did  not  seem 
to  provide  sufficient  compensation  to 
secure  the  services  of  a  competent  at- 
torney, and  it  was  thought  that  no  bor- 
rower from  the  Employees  Association 
could  object  to  paying  a  similarly  small 
attorney's  fee  when  getting  a  mortgage 
loan. 

It  was  also  voted  that  wherever  it  was 
necessary  to  do  so,  payments  upon  the 
principal  of  a  second  mortgage  held  by 
the  Association  where  the  first  mortgage 
is  held  by  the  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan 
Association  may  be  deferred  until  the 
borrower  has  paid  an  amount  on  the 
principal  of  the  first  mortgage  equal  to  the 
principal  of  the  second  mortgage,  the  only 
exception  being  that  in  case  a  borrower 
on  mortgage  from  the  Kodak  Employees 
Association  ceases  to  be  an  employee  of 
the  Eastman  Kodak  Company,  then  pay- 
ments on  the  second  mortgage,  both  prin- 
cipal and  interest,  may  be  required  to 
begin  forthwith.     This  action  will  enable 


the  Board  of  Directors  in  proper  cases 
to  grant  the  privilege  of  deferring  the 
payments  of  principal  on  the  second 
mortgage,  but  the  Board  of  Directors  re- 
serves the  right  to  grant  this  privilege  only 
in  cases  where  it  is  necessary  and  proper. 

Applications  for  mortgage  loans  aggre- 
gating $3,020.00  were  approved. 

The  Association  delegated  to  the  Legal 
Department  the  duty  of  selecting  an 
attorney  to  act  for  the  Loan  Association, 
and  since  the  meeting,  Mr.  C.  F.  Jefferson, 
a  resident  of  Rochester,  a  graduate  of 
Yale  College  and  Columbia  University 
Law  School,  with  an  experience  of  up- 
wards of  eight  years  in  general  practice, 
has  been  engaged.  As  soon  as  he  can 
arrange  his  private  business  he  will  give 
all  of  his  time  to  the  work  of  the  Loan 
Association  and  other  matters  connected 
with  the  Legal  Department.  In  the 
meantime  he  is  giving  half  a  day's  time 
to  this  work. 


BOND-HOLDERS ! 

If  you  are  the  owner  of  any  temporary 
Liberty  Bonds  which  you  have  not  yet 
exchanged  for  permanent  bonds,  it's  time 
to  get  busy.  After  the  due  date  of  the 
last  coupon  on  your  present  bonds,  you 
will  be  unable  to  collect  your  interest 
until  you  have  obtained  your  permanent 
bonds  with  all  the  remaining  coupons 
attached. 

The  banks  are  now  ready  to  accept  for 
exchange,  temporary  bonds  of  all  issues. 
If  you  bought  your  bonds  through  the 
company,  the  Security  Trust  Company 
is  the  proper  place  for  you  to  exchange 
them. 

And — remember!  Tiiere's  no  time  like 
the  present.

LAMENTABLE  EXPERIENCE  OF  STOCKKEEPER 
HOP^YOOD  IN  RUSSIA 


MR.  HOP  WOOD,  stockkeeper  at 
the  Kodak  establishment  in  Mos- 
cow, Russia,  has  certainly  undergone 
some  harrowing  experiences,  according 
to  a  letter  recently  received  from  Kodak, 
Limited. 

The  manager  at  ^Moscow,  Mr.  Done, 
was  able  to  leave  Moscow  in  1919,  but 
Mr.  Hopwood  was  not  so  fortunate. 

After  Mr.  Done  departed  the  Soviet 
took  possession  of  the  premises  and  stock, 
and  put  Mr.  Hopwood  in  charge. 

Mr.  Hopwood,  accompanied  by  his  two 
daughters,  recently  arrived  in  England  in 
a  lamentable  condition.  He  draws  a  terri- 
ble picture  of  conditions  in  Moscow  aris- 
ing from  starvation  and  disease. 


His  daughters  had  to  work,  like 
everybody  else,  on  manual  labor.  It 
was  highly  dangerous  to  talk  to  anyone, 
as  people  were  arrested  on  any  pretext 
and  taken  away — in  most  instances 
never  to  return. 

Our  building  in  Moscow,  though 
equipped  with  a  modern  heating  instal- 
lation, has  not  been  heated  since  1917; 
all  sanitary  arrangements  and  the  water 
installations  have  been  out  of  action 
owing  to  burst  pipes,  and  utter  inability 
to  have  them  repaired. 

Mr.  Hopwood  eventually  got  a  Soviet 
doctor  to  certify  that  he  was  suffering 
from  tuberculosis,  and  on  this  they 
permitted  him  to  leave. 


HA^'E  YOUR  CHILDREN'S  TEETH 
RECEHTD  ATTENTION? 

The  Rochester  Dental  Dispensary  is 
indeed  a  busy  institution,  but  the  work 
is  so  well  systematized  that  everything 
moves  with  clock-like  regularity. 

A  large  number  of  children  of  Kodak 
employees  have  received  treatment,  but 
undoubtedly  there  are  still  a  number 
who  should  avail  themselves  of  the 
opportunity  offered. 

In  some  instances,  appointments  made 
have  not  been  kept  by  parents  owing, 
no  doubt,  to  good  and  sufficient  reasons. 
If  you  happen  to  be  in  this  class,  do  not 
hesitate  to  ask  for  another  appointment, 
as  it  will  be  most  cheerfully  granted. 

When  the  appointment  is  made  do 
your  best  to  keep  it,  or  else  notify  the 
Dispensary'  so  that  the  time  can  be 
utilized  instead  of  wasted. 

If  your  children's  teeth  need  attention 
ask  for  an  appointment  as  soon  as  possible, 
so  as  to  have  the  work  completed  before 
the  warmer  and  less  comfortable  days 
for  such  work  begin. 


"ACE"  GUILLOD  POST  ACTIVE  IN 
MARDI  GRAS  PROGRAM 

At  a  recent  dinner  and  meeting  of  the 
"Ace"  Guillod  Post  of  the  American 
Legion  in  the  Powers  Hotel,  one  of  the 
members  of  the  General  Committee  for 
the  Mardi  Gras  to  be  held  in  the  New 
York  State  Armory  on  March  28th,  ex- 
plained to  the  Post  the  method  of  under- 
"ttTiting  tickets. 

The  purpose  of  the  Mardi  Gras  is  to 
raise  a  sum  which  will  enable  the  County 
organization  to  free  itself  from  all  debts 
incurred,  and  to  provide  a  constructive 
program  in  Monroe  County. 

The  Mardi  Gras  is  to  take  the  nature  of  a 
huge  dancing  party.  Orchestras  of  thirty 
pieces  each  will  be  at  the  ends  of  the  drill 
hall.   "Everyhodyll  be  there"  is  the  slogan. 

P.  H.  Case,  Secretary  of  "Ace"  Guillod 
Post,  and  a  member  of  the  General  Pub- 
licity Committee,  announces  that  tickets 
will  be  on  sale  at:  Kodak  Office,  Charles

incident  to  dogdom,  we  at  once  make 
inquiry  as  to  who  is  the  best  veterinary 
in  town. 

On  the  other  hand,  if  something  goes 
wrong  with  us,  or  some  one  of  the  family, 
we  dig  up  the  doctor  nearest  at  hand 
and  take  a  chance. 

Fortunately  the  medical  profession 
averages  pretty  high  in  Rochester,  and 
so  our  chance  selection  often  proves 
satisfactory,  and  in  many  instances  has 
led  to  a  lifelong  friendship  between 
physician  and  family. 

Nevertheless,  the  choice  of  a  physician 
should  be  made  with  care,  and  with 
good  reason;  if  you  happen  to  be  a 
stranger  in  the  city,  inform  yourself 
as  to  the  qualifications  of  the  various 
physicians,  and  select  one  who  is  well 
recommended  and  in  whom  you  can 
repose  confidence. 

Ascertain  if  he  is  connected  with  the 
staff  of  some  good  hospital;  if  this  is  so, 
you  may  be  pretty  sure  that  he  is  con- 
scientious, thorough,  and  that  his  heart 
is  in  his  work. 

When  you  find  a  doctor  spending 
days  in  the  dispensary,  or  in  the  wards 
of  a  good  hosy^ital,  without  pay,  you  are 
pretty  apt  to  find  a  good  physician. 

If  you  are  ill,  be  a  bit  doubtful  regard- 
ing the  man  who  attempts  to  rush  you  off 
to  some  unknown  or  obscure  hospital; 
it  may  be  true  that  at  the  moment  he 
may  not  be  able  to  obtain  a  bed  in  a  good 
institution,  but  he  sliould  at  least  make 
the  effort. 

You  will  find  that  certain  physicians 
have  a  wide  reputation  for  knowledge 
and  skill  and,  for  this  reason,  you  may 
feel  that  their  fees  might  be  in  excess  of 
your  ability  to  pay,  or  that  they  were 
unobtainable.  This  is  a  mistake;  even 
if  the  man  himself  is  extremely  busy, 
you  will  find  that,  because  of  his  earned 


reputation,  he  has  attracted  to  him  the 
very  brightest  of  assistants  who  will  be  at 
once  available,  and  also  have  the  benefit 
of  his  advice. 

It  is  not  so  difficult  to  "size  up"  a 
physician  at  the  first  meeting.  Aside 
from  very  simple  ailments,  no  reputable 
physician  attempts  to  prescribe  until  he 
has  asked  many  questions  and  made  a 
thorough  examination. 

A  doctor  who  puts  his  ear  against  your 
overcoat  may  possibly  hear  your  watch 
tick,  but  he  is  a  long  way  from  your 
heart. 

All  diseases  leave  a  trail,  but  this  trail 
must  be  intelligently  and  thoroughly 
followed  to  discover  the  true  ailment. 

Now  let  us  consider  for  a  moment  a 
few  types  of  the  physician  that  it  perhaps 
would  be  well  to  avoid. 

There  is  the  one  who  deals  in  "courses 
of  treatment"  at  so  much  per  course — 
cash.  Seldom  does  he  give  a  prescrip- 
tion; he  leads  the  patient  to  believe  that 
he  has  a  monopoly  of  some  drug  from  a 
far-off  clime,  or  has  a  secret  remedy  not 
obtainable  by  other  physicians.  ^Yith 
him  you  get  so  many  "treatments"  for  so 
many  dollars.  If  you  happen  to  be  tak- 
ing one  of  these  "courses,"  just  try  forget- 
ting to  bring  the  money  a  few  times,  and 
note  how  his  interest  in  you  wanes. 

Not  so  long  ago  one  of  our  employees 
had  a  pain  in  her  side  and  called  on  a 
doctor.  He  gave  her  a  few  pills,  and 
said :  "If  you  are  no  better  in  the  morning 
I'll  take  out  your  appendix."  He  made 
no  examination,  not  even  requesting  her 
to  remove  her  coat. 

Most  of  us  are  perfectly  willing  to  part 
with  our  appendix,  but  luirdly  by  such  a 
hit  or  miss  method. 

Through  reading  highly  colored  news- 
paper advertisements,  many  peo])le  have 
been  led  to  believe  that  the  X-ray  offers 
the  only  thorough  means  for  finding  out 
anything  that  happens  to  be  wrong  with 
the  human  anatomy.  About  one-quarter 
of  the  very  poor  patients  at  the  dispensary 


14 


THE  KODAK  ^L\GAZIXE 


of  the  Rochester  General  Hospital  have 
spent  almost  their  last  cent  to  have  the 
X-rays  "turned  on."  They  might  as 
well  have  held  up  a  candle  and  looked  at 
their  shadow  on  the  wall.  Xot  one  of 
them  was  asked  to  remove  more  than  his 
coat.  Xo  wonder  there  were  ''spots  on 
the  lungs"  when  there  were  medals,  but- 
tons and  lead  pencils  in  the  vest. 

Patent  medicines  are  made  mostly  to 
sell ;  rarely  do  you  ever  hear  of  one  being 
endorsed  by  medical  schools,  colleges  or 
societies. 

Quite  possibly  the  taker  feels  better 


after  getting  outside  of  half  a  dozen 
bottles,  but  it  is  well  to  keep  in  mintl 
that  nature  is  very  kind  and  that  health 
would  probably  have  returned  as  surely 
without  the  contents  of  the  six  bottles. 

Another  thing  to  have  in  mind  is  that 
it  is  not  possible  for  any  physician  to  be 
an  expert  in  all  lines,  and  that  when  in 
need  of  surgical  treatment  it  is  best  to 
seek  the  services  of  one  skilled  in  that 
line  of  practice. 

Our  Medical  Department  will  be  glad 
to  suggest  physicians  whom  it  feels  will 
be  best  cjualified  to  handle  your  case. 


THE  THING  THAT  CANNOT  BE  DONE 


MAX'Y  a  good  idea  is  born  to  blush 
unseen  because  the  man  or  woman 
in  whose  brain  it  originates  becomes 
convinced  that  it  cannot  be  applied  in 
practical  form. 

But  it  does  not  pay  to  become 
easily  discouraged,  and  there  is  great 
inspiration  to  all  idea  folks  in  the  achieve- 
ments of  Dr.  W.  D.  Coolidge  in  connection 
with  the  tungsten  filaments  for  electric 
lamps  now  in  general  use.  A  recent 
issue  of  the  "Scientific  American"  tells 
in  a  most  interesting  fashion  the  story 
of  the  tungsten  filament  as  evolved  by 
Dr.  Coolidge,  from  which  we  quote  the 
following : 

"It  is  a  conservative  estimate  to  say  that 
the  use  of  the  tungsten  filament  in  the  modern 
electric  light  saves  two  millions  of  dollars  a 
day  in  cmrent." 

What  Dr.  Coolidge  was  up  against 
was  the  fact  that  tungsten  is  naturally 
the  most  intractable  of  all  metals,  as  for 
certain  purposes  it  is  the  most  useful. 

"Not  only  has  it  a  higher  melting  point 
than  any  other  substance  fsave  only  carbon) 
so  that  it  camiot  be  melted  or  cast  (since 
an\-thing  containing  tungsten  to  be  melted 
would  melt  before  the  tungsten),  but  the  metal 
when  produced  as  such  in  any  other  form  than 
a  fine  powder  exhibits  characteristics  of 
hardness  and  brittleness  which  defy  the 
hammer,  the  lathe,  and  the  die. 

"Given  a  few  ounces  of  finely  powdered 
metallic  tungsten  which  cannot  be  melted  in 
anything  because  "anything'  will  melt  at  a 
lower   temperature   than    tungsten,    how   shall 


one  make  of  it  a  metallic  rod?  Given  a  solid 
metallic  rod  of  tungsten  which  will  break  if 
dropped  upon  the  floor  like  so  much  glass, 
how  shall  one  shape  it,  work  it,  draw  it  into 
wire.' 

"There  was  no  knowledge  in  the  beginning 
that  search  was  not  being  conducted  for 
something  which  didn't  exist — every  shred  of 
evidence  available  seemed  to  point  to  the 
fact  that  tungsten  was  not  naturally  and 
never  could  be  made  ductile,  that  the  hunt 
was  a  hunt  for  the  non-existent." 

Such  was  the  problem  confronting  Dr. 
Coolidge,  yet  today  we  possess  ductile 
tungsten;  fine  drawn  wires  are  made  of 
it;  little  disks  for  contact  points  in  auto- 
mobile ignition  systems,  and  the  modern 
X-Ray  tube  depends  upon  it. 

All  this  very  worth  while  discovery 
came  to  pass  because  Dr.  Coolidge  hung 
on;  the  word  "failure"  was  cut  out  of  his 
dictionary;  he  stuck  to  it  till  he  had 
solved  the  problem.  And  possibly  this 
may  help  some  of  you  to  stick  it  out 
until  vou  win.

XIXE  HUNDRED  AND  FIFTY  K.  P.  A.  A.  GIRLS  FROLIC 
AT  ANNUAL  PARTY 


A  month  has  passed  since  the  Annual  K.  P.  A.  A. 
Girls'  Party  on  Tuesday,  February  1st,  and  still  we 
hear  from  all  parts  of  the  plant  snatches  of  con- 
versation with  the  party  the  topic. 

About  nine  hundred  and  fifty  girls,  all  members, 
as  no  outsiders  are  allowed  at  these  affairs,  gathered 
in  the  big  Dining  Hall  on  the  second  floor  of  Build- 
ing 28,  and  enjoyed  as  fine  a  course  dinner  as  could 
be  obtained  anywhere  in  the  world.  Shields'  Jazz 
Orchestra,  punctuated  with  happy  voices  of  the 
diners,  sped  the  first  act  of  the  evening  on  its  way. 
Then  the  party  adjourned  to  the  Assembly  Hall. 
Here  a  number  of  specialties,  arranged  and  pro- 
duced by  the  girls,  made  a  tremendous  hit.  Vocal 
selections  by  Louise  Hutchison,  Louise  Herman 
and  Marguerite  Ellis,  and  a  duet  l)y  Audrey  Pillion 
and  Gwendolyn  Davies  were  rendered  most  charm- 
ingly. A  toe  dance  by  little  Esther  Cohen,  10- 
year-old  daughter  of  Samuel  Cohen  of  Building  48, 
made  a  big  hit. 

The  real  event  of  the  evening  was  the  "New 
Year's  Eve"  Cabaret,  the  set  depicting  Delmonico's 
famous  restaurant  with  Xan  Cleary  as  proprietor. 
Here  Florence  Doescher  introduced  her  Bathing 
Beauties  as  "Fresh  Pearls  from  the  Golden  Gate," 
and  it  is  rumored  that  Max  Sennett's  beauties  were 
far  outclassed. 

A  large  majority  of  the  girls  were  in  costumes 
representing  every  age,  country  and  type  in  the 


world.  Marion  Burns,  in  one  of  her  original  aswell 
as  unique  concoctions,  proved  again  to  be  the  life 
of  the  party.  She  led  the  Grand  March  and  man- 
aged to  be  in  a  dozen  places  at  one  time. 

Every  girl  appreciates  the  successful  efforts  of 
"Marge"  Ellis  to  make  the  Association  attractive  to 
the  girl  employees.  To  Xan  Cleary  and  Florence 
Doescher,  who  assisted  her  in  arranging  this  party, 
our  thanks  are  also  expressed  when  we  say:  "It 
could  not  have  been  done  without  them." 

On  behalf  of  the  Association,  Mrs.  A.  Thompson 
presented  prizes  for  the  best  costumes  to^the 
following  girls: 

Ethel  Bradbury,  Building  26,  pretty:  Madeline 
Klem,  Building  12,  pretty  bathing  beauty;  Mrs. 
Biu-ns,  Building  48,  fimny;  Eveh-n  Lucy,  Building 
26,  pretty  bathing  beauty;  Ethel  Stuck,  Building 
2,  funny:  Agnes  Fisher,  Building  26,  pretty:  Hazel 
Sanderson,  Building  42,  funny;  Mrs.  K.  Collins, 
Department  .50,  original;  Miss  Hoxie,  Department 
50,  original;  Dorothy  Meyer,  Building  48,  funny: 
Hilda  Hegenauer,  Buildmg  26,  pretty;  Marion 
Burns,  Building  26,  funny;  Esther  Cohen,  original: 
Mildred  Shelson,  Building  26,  pretty;  Emma  Boas,

OUR  TEAM  VERY  MUCH  IN  RACE  FOR  CITY  HONORS 

As  we  enter  the  final  lap  of  our  basketball  schedule  coaching.     Hegedorn  leads  the  field  in  points  scored 

and  review  the  results  up  to  February  14th,  we  can  with    twenty-eight    field    baskets    and    thirty-five 

feel  justly  proud  of  the  record  made  by  our  team  fouls,  totaling  ninety-one  points.     He  is  followed 

this  season.     Starting  out  with  a  few  of  the  easier  closely    by    Tichenor    with    seventy-one,    McNeil 

teams,  we  have  gradually  taken  on  stronger  oppo-  with   sixty,   and   Jack   Brightman,   who   has  only 

nents   imtil  at   present   we  are  prepared   for  the  played  a  part  of  each  game,  has  thirty-eight  points 

final  games  with  the  hardest  teams  in  this  vicinity.  to  his  credit. 

At  the  time  this  issue  appears,  it  is  expected 
that  the  first  game  of  the  Kodak-Bausch  &  Lonib 
series  will  have  been  played  on  the  Bausch  court. 
Regardless  of  the  outcome,  the  crucial  game  will 
be  at  Kodak  Park  diu-ing  the  week  of  March  7th. 
Every  Kodak  fan  should  see  this  game.  Get  your

"CLIFF"  HEGEDORN 

In  the  eleven  games  played  to  date  we  have  been 
victorious  in  nine,  defeating  such  teams  as  the 
Owasco  Canoe  Club,  Buffalo  K.  of  C,  Buffalo 
Lincolns,  and  Geneva  Eagles,  who  are  considered 
the  cream  of  court  talent.  In  winning  from  the 
famous  Lincolns,  our  boys  clearly  demonstrated 
their  prowess.  That  the  Buffalo  "wizards"  are 
satisfied  that  they  lost  to  a  better  team  is  clearly 
shown  in  a  letter  received  by  Manager  Goodridge, 
part  of  which  reads  as  follows:  "Your  club  has 
certainly  taken  us  by  siu-prise  and  I  would  not  be 
surprised  if  your  boys  topple  a  few  more  top- 
notchers,  as  they  certainly  look  better  than  your 
last  year's  team."  An  effort  will  be  made  to  bring 
the  Lincolns  here  again  later  in  the  season.  The 
defeat  of  the  Geneva  team  is  considered  some 
accomplishment  and  we  are  lucky  to  obtain  an  even 
break.  This  team  defeated  by  a  very  comfortable 
margin  the  celebrated  Goodyear  outfit,  which  won 
from  Bausch's  in  Rochester  a  few  weeks  ago. 
All  of  this  goes  to  make  the  "dope"  on  the  Bausch 
series  more  uncertain. 

When  speaking  of  the  Kodak  players,  reference 
should  be  made  collectively,  as  their  strength  lies 
in  the  excellent  team  work  they  have  developed. 
Coach  Benzoni  has  done  much  with  some  of  the 
boys  and  their  improvement  is  due  largely  to  his 


ENGINEERS  STILL  SETTING  PACE  IN 
DEPARTMENTAL  LEAGUE 

Although  the  Engineers  are  still  leading  in  the 
K.  P.  A.  A.  Departmental  Basketball  League,  the 
Research  team  demonstrated  that  the  leaders  were 
not  absolutely  invincible  by  defeating  them  the 
latter  part  of  January,  by  a  score  of  42  to  35. 

Department  50  is  still  pressing  the  leaders  hard 
and  is  only  one  game  beliind,  with  the  Reel  De- 
partment and  Research  following  close  on  their 
heels.  Due  to  inability  on  the  part  of  the  Electrical 
Department  and  Garage  to  place  a  representative 
team  on  the  court  during  the  past  two  weeks,  they 
have  withdra\^ai  from  the  League.  "Bill"  Doane, 
the  mainstay  of  the  Electrical  team  has  been  trans- 
ferred to  the  Reel  outfit,  which  greatly  strengthens 
the  team  from  Building  48. 

Some  of  the  boys  on  the  different  teams  are  play- 
ing wonderful  basketball,  particularly  Brightman  of 
the  Research,  Hastings  of  the  Engineers,  Weigand 
of  Department  50,  and  Gorfine  of  the  Reel. 

The  interest  shown  to  date  is  very  encouraging, 
and  the  final  outcome  cannot  be  foreseen,  as  one  or 
two  games,  won  or  lost,  will  make  a  great  change 
in  the  standing. 


Prospects  for  a  "pretty  fight"  on  the  alleys  at 
the  finish  of  the  Camera  League  schedule  have 
practically  disappeared  since  the  Park  took  three 
more  games  from  their  beloved  rivals.  Camera

KODAK  PARK  GIRLS  PLAY  WORLD'S  CHAMPIONS 


Thursday,  March  3rd,  was  the  "Big  Day"  for 
the  Kodak  Park  Girls'  basketball  team.  On  this 
date  they  played  the  Clark  Munies  basketball  team 
of  Cleveland,  Ohio.  This  team  was  organized 
in  the  fall  of  1917.  They  lost  only  three  games 
during  the  season,  winning  the  championship  of 
Cleveland.  In  1918-19  the  Munies  won  the  City 
and  State  Championship,  going  through  their 
entire  schedule  without  a  defeat.  Last  year  they 
again  won  every  game  played,  defeating  the  Illinois 
Athletic  Club  team  and  annexing  the  championship 
of  the  I'nited  States.  During  this  time  the  Clark 
Munies  team  has  played  nearly  100  games  with 
only  three  defeats,  scoring  an  average  of  thirty- 
three  points  per  game  against  six  and  one-half 
for  their  opponents. 

The  Kodak  girls  had  defeated  every  team 
played  to  date,  including  every  local  aggregation 
which  was  willing  to  meet  them.  This  showing 
earned  for  them  the  right  to  meet  this  champion- 
ship team. 

Up  to  February  14th  the  Park  girls  played  twelve 
games,  scoring  208  points  to  their  opponents'  o4. 
Much  of  the  credit  for  the  team's  success  goes 
to  their  coach,  Charles  Thompson,  who  has  devel- 
oped several  good  players.  Of  these  Julia  Thayer 
is  one  of  the  best.  In  the  Silver  Springs  game, 
after  the  score  had  been  tied  for  ten  minutes,  Julia 
made  a  beautiful  one-hand  shot  which  gave  us  the 
game  7  to  5.  The  Shredded  Wheat  Girls  proved 
easy  for  "Tommy's"  lassies.  The  pass  work  of 
the    visitors    was   excellent,    although    the   Kodak 


defense  was  so  tight  that  not  one  field  basket  was 
scored.  Harriett  Noble  was  the  star  of  the  evening 
again,  scoring  at  will.

KODAK  PARK  AVEST 

The  constantly-increasing  number  of  employees 
being  transferred  to  the  new  addition  of  Kodak  Park, 
known  as  Kodak  Park  West,  has  made  it  necessary 
to  provide  hnich-room  facilities  at  this  section  of 
the  plant. 

At  present  accommodations  have  been  provided 
for  seating  one  lumdred  and  twenty  persons  at  a 
time.  Food  is  prepared  at  the  main  kitchen  and 
transported  by  truck  in  insulated  containers  to 
this  point,  where  it  is  placed  in  steam  ovens  to  keep 
it  warm  imtil  used. 

The  policy  of  dispensing  food  at  points  most  con- 
venient for  the  cmi)loyees  is  meeting  MJth  approval 
and  comments  expressing  satisfaction  and  apjirccia- 
tion  are  heard  on  all  sides.  To  make  it  {)ossible  to 
obtain  one's  lunch  with  the  minimum  of  delay  and 
confusion,  and  thus  allow  more  of  the  noon  hour  for 
recreation  and  relaxatioTi  is  the  aim  of  the  Dining 
Hall  management.

BRANCH  LIBRARY  VERY  POPULAR 

Kodak  Park  boasts  of  the  largest  Industrial 
Branch  Library  in  Rochester.  How  much  this  is 
appreciated  may  best  be  determined  by  the  interest 
taken  by  the  employees. 

There  are  450  books  in  our  library,  including 
works  on  educational  subjects  as  well  as  fiction. 
The  books  are  changed  frequently  which  helps  to 
held  the  interest  of  our  readers.  Last  year  there 
were  7920  books  circulated  and  all  indications  point 
to  twice  this  number  for  19'-21. 

No  charge  is  made  up  to  a  certain  time  limit.  At 
the  end  of  one  week,  books  may  l)e  renewed  for 
another  week.  At  the  end  of  this  time,  if  the  book 
is  not  returned,  a  fine  of  two  cents  per  day  is  levied 
for  each  day  beyond  the  prescribed  date  of  return. 

In  addition  to  these  books,  practically  all  the 
current  magazines  are  availai)le  for  reading  during 
the  noon-hour  and  for  home  circulation. 

The  Library  is  in  charge  of  Lina  Cady  and  Aileen

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


WHERE  DO  I  STAND  ? 


At  the  time  of  the  Community  Chest  Drive  last 
year,  one  thing  very  noticeable  was  the  lack  of 
information  about  the  fundamental  principles  of 
the  Chest  idea.  Very  few  people  realized  and  api)re- 
ciated  the  great  benefits  derived  through  such  a 
plan  and  had  little  or  no  knowledge  of  the  work 
being  done  by  the  charitable  and  semi-charitable 
institutions  of  our  city.  A  few  studied  the  proposi- 
tion with  interest,  and.  as  a  result,  gave  to  the  limit 
of  their  means.  Others  did  not  bother  to  investi- 
gate, but,  prompted  by  a  generous  spirit,  gave 
liberally.  Still  others  gave  because  they  felt  it  was 
a  duty  which  could  not  be  side-stepped,  and  con- 
tributed as  little  as  possible.  A  few  subscribed 
nothing. 

In  order  to  learn  definitely  what  is  being  done  by 
the  institutions  which  receive  benefit  from  the 
Community  Chest,  certain  committees  were  ap- 
pointed. These  committees  have  been  visiting 
the  different  institutions  during  the  past  few  months, 
and  reports  of  these  ^'^sits  have  appeared  in  the 
Kodak  Magazine. 

The  spirit  in  which  the  visiting  committees  have 
been  received  has  been  very  gratifying.  Many  ex- 
pressions of  appreciation  from  the  Hospital  authori- 
ties, for  the  help  they  are  receiving  from  the  Chest, 
have  been  heard  on  each  occasion.  Needless  to  say, 
it  would  be  impossible  for  every  employee  to  serve 
on  a  committee.  Therefore,  a  representative  has 
been  cho.sen  from  each  department,  and,  to  give 
everyone  an  opportunity  to  know  what  is  being 
done,  reports  of  the.se  visits  have  been  published 
each  month.  If,  perhaps,  you  have  neglected  them, 
you  may  refer  back  to  your  copies  of  the  Magazine 
and  obtain  a  pretty  good  idea  of  the  conditions  in 
those  institutions  which  have  been  visited  to  date. 


On  Wednesday,  January  19th,  the  committee 
visited  the  Salvation  Army  Home  on  Exchange 
Street  and  also  St.  Joseph's  Orphan  Asylum. 

At  the  Salvation  Army  Home  we  were  received  by 
the  superintendent,  who  apparently  welcomed  the 
opportunity  of  showing  us  through  the  entire 
building. 

We  found  this  institution  divided  into  two  parts — 
a  home  or  a  hotel — and  the  industrial  division.  In 
the  home  are  accommodations  for  about  1.50  men. 
Rooms  are  furnished  with  a  bed,  chair  and  a  small 
bureau,  with  a  rug  on  the  floor  of  each.  A  small 
charge  is  made  for  such  a  room,  either  by  the  day 
or  week.  Some  men  make  it  their  permanent  home 
and  have  lived  there  for  a  number  of  years. 

If  a  man  is  absolutely  without  funds  and  appeals 
for  a  night's  lodging,  he  is  accommodated.  In  the 
morning  he  is  given  something  to  eat,  and  allowed 
to  do  some  work  around  the  building  or  in  the 
industrial  division,  as  part  payment. 

Everything  was  found  in  perfect  order  and  the 
degree  of  cleanliness,  so  apparent,  was  very 
commendable. 

This  institution  is  a  valuable  asset  to  our  city, 
and  deserves  much  more  credit  and  consideration 
than  it  receives. 

The  committee  then  visited  St,  Joseph's  Orphan 
A.sylum,  where  65  boys  and  52  girls,  ranging  in  age 
from  3  to  15  years,  are  taken  care  of  and  educated. 
After    graduation    some  are  given   a   Commercial 


Course.  The  children  are  finally  sent  back  to  the 
parent  (if  one  is  living)  or  placed  in  charge  of  a 
guardian  until  they  have  adjusted  themselves  to 
the  business  world. 

Conditions  found  at  this  institution  are  ideal. 
The  children  seemed  very  happy  and  contented. 
They  are  given  three  substantial  meals  a  day  and 
a  light  lunch  about  eight  o'clock  in  the  evening. 

The  dormitories  are  comfortable  and  sanitary. 
Fire  escapes  are  easily  accessible,  which  minimizes 
any  danger  from  fire. 

Although  the  small  weekly  charge  of  $4.00  has 
been  adopted  as  the  standard  rate,  children  are 
admitted  for  less,  and  in  many  cases  are  cared  for 
absolutely  without  any  charge. 

We  appreciate  the  opportunity  and  privilege 
afforded  us  to  visit  these  institutions,  and,  from 
what  we  have  seen  and  learned,  we  have  not  only 
been  agreeably  surprised,  but  have  been  given  an 
opportunity  for  some  serious  thought. 

This  is  one  of  the  worthy  institutions  which  is 
being  benefited  through  the  Community  Chest.

A  visit  was  made  to  the  Homeopathic  Hospital  on 
Wednesday,  January  26th.  The  committee  was 
received  and  conducted  through  the  institution  by 
Miss  Johnson,  superintendent  in  charge. 

As  we  went  from  one  .section  of  the  Hospital  to 
another,  we  were  more  and  more  impressed  by  the 
up-to-date  equipment  and  the  general  tone  of 
efficiency,  cheerfulness,  and  cleanliness,  which  pre- 
vailed throughout. 

One  of  the  departments,  the  value  of  which  so 
few  people  are  able  to  appreciate,  is  the  Pathological 
Laboratory.  This  department  is  truly  indispensable 
in  the  modern  medical  world. 

We  were  next  conducted  through  the  kitchen, 
heating  and  lighting  plant,  and  laundry,  which  are 
modern  in  everj'  detail. 

Another  interesting  feature  in  connection  with 
the  Hospital  is  the  free  clinic,  in  charge  of  Mrs. 
Backus,  an  experienced  welfare  worker.  Here  a 
great  number  of  people  are  taken  care  of  each  day, 
and  afforded  the  services  of  some  of  the  most  noted 
specialists  of  the  city.  These  specialists  devote 
a  good  share  of  their  valuable  time  to  the  needs  of 
the  people  who  do  not  feel  able  to  stand  the  expense 
of  a  private  physician.  An  effort  is  made  to  collect 
a  small  charge  of  25  cents  for  the  first  visit,  and 
10  cents  per  visit  thereafter,  although  per.sons  not 
able  to  pay  are  treated  without  charge. 

The  wide  range  of  service  afforded  by  what  might 
be  termed  the  three  departments  of  the  institution, 
the  "Clinics,"  "Wards,"  and  "Private  Rooms," 
makes  possible  the  treatment  of  all  patients  regard- 
less of  their  financial  position.  In  the  first  class, 
illnesses  are  treated  by  some  of  the  most  skillful 
professional  men  at  a  small  charge  or  free,  as 
conditions  warrant.      Even  medicine  (with  the  ex- 


THE  KODAK  :\IAGAZIXE 


19 


ception  of  the  most  rare  prescriptions)  is  given  to 
the  patients,  the  more  expensive  being  furnished  at 
cost.  In  the  wards,  patients  are  given  the  benefit 
of  all  scientific  apparatus  and  equipment  without 
additional  charge,  as  well  as  the  advice  of  specialists 
in  different  types  of  disease.  There  are  also 
"private"  patients.  These  are  the  only  ones  who 
pay  enough  to  cover  all  the  cost  of  the  care  and 
treatment  they  receive. 

It  is  easy  to  see  the  need  of  help  for  the  hospitals 
and  to  realize  that  distinction  does  not  enter  into 
the  treatment  in  anv  way. 


On  the  whole,  our  impression  of  this  institution 
was  most  favorable,  and  we  came  away  with  the 
feeling  that  every  effort  is  being  made  to  give  satis- 
faction, not  only  to  the  patients  but  to  the  generous 
contributors  to  the  Community  Chest.

KODAK  PARK  FOREMEN  ACTIVE 

When  the  Kodak  Park  Foremen's  Club  was 
organized,  one  of  the  basic  principles  of  the  Club 
was  co-operation.  The  plan  was  to  get  the  members 
together  and  make  them  intimately  acquainted  with 
each  other — not  a  mere  telephone  acquaintanceship, 
but  real  friendship.  This  object  has  ])een  accom- 
plished, and  the  organization  has  become  one  of  the 
most  flourishing  at  the  Park. 


"JACK"  SCHAEFFER 
Pre.sident,  Kodak  Park  Foremen's  Club 

Many  activities  have  been  presented  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Club,  including  picnics,  outings,  and 
banquets.  The  monthly  dinner  meetings  have  been 
a  source  of  education  as  well  as  entertainment,  and 
the  Committee  in  charge  of  arrangements,  under 
President  John  Schaeffer,  is  planning  an  enjoyable 
program  for  the  present  year. 

On  Thursday.  February  lOtli,  about  450  were 
present  at  the  monllily  dinnor  and  meeting  held  in 
the  Assembly  Hall.  Following  an  excellent  dinner. 
Dr.  Robert  Parker  Miles,  well-known  author  and 
WTiter,  entertained  the  memiiers  with  a  splendid 
talk  entitled  "Sparks."  This  was  Dr.  Miles'  second 
appearance  before  the  Club;  he  made  a  i)ig  hit  last 
year,  and  was  enthusiastically  welcomed  on  this 
occasion.  Music  was  furnished  during  the  evening 
by  Campbell's  orchestra. 


COMMUNITY  CHEST  RECEIPTS 

Several  requests  have  been  received  at  Commun- 
ity Chest  Headquarters  for  receipts  in  full  for 
individual  contributions  to  the  Chest  during  19^0. 
These  receipts  have  been  issued,  but  to  eliminate 
the  cost  of  postage  as  far  as  possible,  they  have  been 
sent  to  the  different  companies  for  distribution. 

Each  pay  envelope  you  get  contains  a  card 
showing  any  deductions.  On  this  card  it  is  stated 
that  same  is  your  receipt  for  deductions  as  desig- 
nated thereon.  It  is,  therefore,  felt  that  the  addi- 
tional receipt  for  the  Community  Chest  deduction 
will  not  be  necessary  at  Kodak  Park.  However, 
Kodak  Park  subscribers  who  desire  these  receipts, 
may  obtain  them  at  the  Cashier's  window  of  the 
Pay  Roll  Department.

SECOND  SEMI-ANNUAL  CONTEST  OF   CAMERA  CLUB 


Tlie  second  big  contest  of  the  Camera  Club 
will  lie  held  during  the  month  of  April.  An  exhibi- 
tion will  follow  during  May. 

In  order  to  give  beginners  a  better  chance  to 
win  prizes,  a  new  plan  is  to  be  adopted,  under 
which  the  contestants  will  be  divided  into  two 
groups — "A"  a  beginners'  group,  and  "B"  an 
advanced  photographers'  group. 


DR.E.  P.  WIGHTMAN

and  who  has  not  won  a  prize  in  any  previous  contest 
(not  strictly  for  beginners)  at  Kodak  Park  or 
elsewhere.  The  beginner  must  enter  a  picture 
on  which  the  work  of  production  was  entirely  his 
own,  i.  e.,  on  which  not  only  the  exposure  of  the 
film  or  plate,  but  also  its  development  and  printing, 
etc.,  were  done  by  the  contestant. 

All  other  photographers  who  are  members  of 
the  Kodak  Park  Camera  Club  are  eligible  to  com- 
pete in  Group  "B." 

In  each  group  the  prints  will  be  divided  into  four 
classes — 1.  Portraiture.  "2.  Landscape.  3.  Marine. 
4.  Genre.

2nd  Prize  in  each  class 3.00 

3rd  Prize  in  each  class 1 .  00 

Three  Honorable  Mentions  in  each  class.

2nd  Prize  in  each  class Red  Ribbon 

Srd^rize  in  each  class White  Ribbon 

Two  Honorable  Mentions  in  each  class .  Violet  Ribbons 

Any  number  of  prints  may  be  entered  in  any 
class  (or  all  classes),  but  not  more  than  one  prize 
and  one  honorable  mention  can  be  won  by  a  com- 
petitor in  any  one  class.  The  competitor  is  not 
barred  from  an  additional  prize  in  some  other 
class,  but  not  more  than  two  prizes  and  two  hon- 
orable mentions  in  all  can  be  won  by  a  single 
competitor. 

The  pictures  will  be  judged  on  the  basis  of: 
(a)  Artistic  merit  of  the  picture  itself  (b)  Photo- 
graphic technique  (c)  Mounting  and  [general 
appearance. 

The  judges  will  be  Joseph  DiNunzio,  S.  B.  Hord 
and  J.  H.  C.  Evanoff. 

A  number  of  prints  which  appeared  in  the  October 
contest  and  exhibition  of  the  Club  have  been 
accepted  by  "Photo-Era"  and  by  "Camera"  for 
publication. 

The  following  committees  have  been  appointed 
by  the  President  of  the  Camera  Club:  Bulletin

TIME  OFFICE  vs.  PAY  ROLL 

On  Friday  evening,  February  4th,  bowling  teams 
representing  the  Time  Office,  Building  34,  and  the 
Pay  Roll,  Building  26,  met  for  a  friendly  "fight  to 
the  finish"  match. 

The  affair  was  staged  in  one  of  those  places,  the 
popularity  of  which  has  waned,  since  the  adoption 
of  the  Eighteenth  Amendment,  where  the  alleys, 
when  the  occasion  demanded,  must  have  been  used 
for  a  dance  floor — judging  by  the  way  the  balls 
would  jazz  and  waltz.  But  this  didn't  seem  to 
interfere  with  everyone's  ability  to  have  a  good 
time.  Nor  did  the  odor  reminiscent  of  "liberty 
cabbage"  that  permeated  the  atmosphere  lessen 
anyone's  appetite  when  lunch  was  served — for  you 
know,  the  argument  as  to  whether  cabbage  is 
German  or  Irish  has  been  settled! 

The  evening  was  replete  with  fmi.  The  facial 
contortions,  MTenching  of  wrists,  and  imgraceful 
glides  of  some  of  the  "would-be-Beuckmans" 
furnished  as  much  amusement  as  the  struggle  did 
excitement. 

Although  no  "high  score"  records  were  in  danger 
at  any  time,  the  Cashiers  defeated  the  Time  Clerks 
two  straight  and  were  acclaimed  "champs."  The 
majority  of  the  boys  rolled  one  high  and  one  low 
game.

KODAK  PARK  BOWLING  TEAM  IX\'ADES  WESTERN  NEW  YORK 

OTHER  TEAMS  GOING  STRONG 


During  the  last  week  in  January,  the  Kodak  Park 
bowling  team  left  on  its  annual  trip,  visiting 
Tonawanda,  Niagara  Falls  and  Buffalo,  and  meeting 
on  the  alleys  the  best  bowlers  of  those  three  cities. 
The  result  of  the  matches  show  about  an  even  break, 
but  the  memories  of  the  excellent  treatment  re- 
ceived, particularly  from  the  Niagara  Falls  team, 
will  long  be  remembered. 

Arriving  in  Tonawanda  on  Thursday,  January 
'2~ih,  our  team  stacked  up  against  the  All-Tona- 
wanda  outfit  composed  of  the  best  men  rolling  in 
the  Tonawanda  Industrial  League.  They  defeated 
our  boys  in  the  five-men  match  and  the  singles, 
although  "Beuck"  and  "Charlie"'  Natt  carried  off 
the  two-man  event  with  ease.

Nearly  all  the  teams  in  the  Kodak  Park  Leagues 
are  going  strong  and  displaying  true  midseason 
form.  Some  pretty  races  are  being  staged  between 
several  of  the  teams  for  first  place  in  their  respective 
leagues  and  the  outcome  is  problematical. 

Some  of  the  men  are  showing  excellent  individual 
averages,  among  these  being  Janson  with  188, 
Do\^^ls  186,  Goebel  185  in  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  League, 
and  Brizee  184,  Servise  180  and  Shepanski  178  in 
the  Yard  outfit. 

Bowling  is  more  popular  with  the  Park  men  this 
year  than  it  has  been  for  some  time,  and  everyone 
is  trying  hard  for  a  share  in  the  prizes  offered  by 
the  Association.

KODAK  PARK  HAS  BEST  SOCCER  TEAM  ON  RECORD 


Everyone  is  pulling  for  a  winning  team  at  the 
Park  this  season,  and  no  effort  is  being  spared  to 
get  together  a  fast  bunch  to  represent  us. 

Secretary  Fred  Collett  reports  that  all  of  last 
year's  players  ha%e  signed  contracts  including 
"Billy"  GriHiths.  Scott,  another  new  man.  has 
been  recently  obtained.  He  has  two  gold  medals 
for  playing  in  "Bonnie  Scotland  "  and.  with  Alfred 
Fratter  of  last  year's  McNaughton  Rangers,  we  are 
particularly  strengthened.  Simms  will  be  at 
center  again  with  Kelly.  Foster.  McKinley. 
Fratter.  Brightman.  ^IcKnight,  Clegg.  and  Clears 
as  his  running  mates.     This  forward  line  should  be 


able  to  keep  any  defense  busy  and  should  account 
for  a  good  many  goals. 

.\rthur  Underwood,  brother  of  the  famous 
"Wally  "  of  referee  fame,  has  been  signed  to  Lnder- 
study  Norton,  the  goalkeeper.  This  player  shows 
great  promise  and,  with  a  little  experience,  should 
prove  to  be  a  good  man  for  us. 

Meetings  are  held  every  Tuesday  evening  at  8:00 
P.  M.  in  the  Assembly  Hall,  and  anyone  interested 
in  the  game  is  cordially  invited  to  attend.

MOON  ADDS  SPLENDOR  TO  KODAK  DANCE 


Beneath  the  soft  glow  of  an  electrically-lighted 
moon,  over  six  hundred  K.  P.  A.  A.  members  and 
their  friends  danced  to  the  strains  of  most  entrancing 
music  at  the  Moonlight  Party  held  in  the  Assembly 
Hall  on  Friday  evening,  January  29th.  Midnight 
found  the  dancers  anything  but  ready  to  leave. 
The  popularity  of  this  season's  dances  continues  to 
increase  through  the  efforts  of  Dr.  D.  E.  Reid  and 
the  committee  in  charge. 

"Ben"  MacMillan  again  demonstrated  his  artistic 
talent  in  the  blue  and  gold  color  scheme  with  which 
the  hall  was  decorated  for  this  occasion.  Spot  lights 
placed  in  the  different  corners  of  the  hall  flooded  the 
interior  with  beautiful  colored  light  and  gave  a  real 
"Arabian  Nights"  effect. 

"Jerry"  Welles,  in  charge  of  the  entertainment 
which  was  given  during  intermission,  is  to  be  com- 
plimented on  the  success  of  his  efforts.  The  danc- 
ing exhibition  given  by  Jane  Coughlin  and  Elmer 
Manley  was  perfect  in  every  detail.       Elmer  was 


formerly  an  employee  at  Kodak  Park.  During  the 
war,  he  enlisted  in  the  Aerial  Service  and  studied  for 
sometime  at  the  U.  S.  A.  S.  A.  P.  at  Kodak  Park. 
Afterwards  he  served  for  many  months  in  Europe. 
His  many  friends  at  Kodak  Park  congratulate  him 
on  his  ability  as  an  entertainer. 

Several  excellent  violin  solos  were  given  by 
George  Kroha.  Daisy  Ford  appeared  in  a  very 
pleasing  aesthetic  dance. 

In  accordance  with  the  custom,  which  has  been  in 
effect  at  all  of  the  dances  this  winter,  a  number  of 
prizes  were  awarded. 

We  wish  to  express  our  appreciation  to  the  follow- 
ing persons,  who  served  on  the  various  committees : 

Arrangement  committee — Dr.  D.  E.  Reid,  Mar- 
guerite Ellis,"Jerry"  Welles,  and  Edward  Goodridge. 

Decoration  committee — "Ben"  MacMillan,  Susan 
LaDine,  Jack  Brightman,  and  George  Bastian. 

Prizes — Mrs.  A.  Thompson.

THEATRE  PARTIES  ALL  THE  RAGE  I 


A  very  successful  luncheon  and  theatre  party  was 
held  Friday  evening,  February  4th,  by  girls  from 
the  Cost,  Purchasing  and  Accounting  Depart- 
ments. The  luncheon  was  served  at  the  home  of 
Mary  MacMullen,  267  Post  Avenue.  A  short  program 
was  given,  featuring  Vera  Walz  as  the  cute  little 
"Dutch  Girl"  and  vocal  selections  by  Mabel  Mar- 
cille  and  Irene  Lees;  afterward,  the  Temple  Theatre. 


About  seventy-five  men  from  the  Assembling 
Department  held  a  theatre  party  Saturday,  Febru- 
ary 5th.  A  chicken  supper  was  served  afterward  at 
Kenealy's  Restaurant.  Short  talks  were  given  by 
George  T.  Roche,  Works  Accountant,  John  Gordon, 
Jr.,  and  C.  H.  Harper.  To  Charles  Jenkins  and 
Wilfred  Cusick  much  credit  is  given  for  the  excellent 
way  in  which  the  party  was  run. 


ATHLETIC  ASSOCL\TION  SMOKER 


On  Thursday  evening,  January  20th,  members  of 
the.Folmer-Century  Athletic  Association  held  an 
entertainment  and  smoker  at  the  Nineteenth  Ward 
Clubhouse,  about  two  hundred  members  attending. 
Eight  finished  acts  were  presented,  including  the 
Knox  Harmony  Four,  and  Sam  Kellman,  Hebrew 
comedian,  who  was  a  laugh  from  start  to  finish; 
Pearl  Clark  gave  a  very  pleasing  musical  number,  and 


Silent Leddin, the  magician, took  the  house  bystorm. 
The  popular  question  since  the  smoker  is  "^^'hen 
do  we  have  another.^"  and  those  who  failed  to 
attend  the  last  one  are  looking  forward  to  the  next 
with  interest.  The  committee,  composed  of  Leo 
Lynett,  Fred  Lintz,  Joseph  J.  Dreschler,  Jr.,  Frank 
Perrin,  Edward  Stockmeister  and  Albert  I'leming, 
deserves  much  credit  for  the  excellent  show.

31st,  at  the  Hahnemann  Hospital.  His  long  service

CIRKUT  TEAM  SETS  PACE  FOR  BOWLERS 

The  Folmer-Century  Bowling  League  lias  now 
passed  the  halfway  mark  in  the  season's  bowling, 
and  the  Cirkut  outfit  has  made  the  best  showing  to 
date.  They  have  overcome  the  lead  of  the  Studio 
team  and  are  now  in  first  place  by  a  comfortable 
margin.  The  rest  of  the  teams  are  also  showing 
good  form.  To  George  Jost  of  the  Assembling 
Department  go  the  honors  for  the  highest  single 
game  with  a  score  of  242.  AVeinman  of  the  Metal 
Department  still  holds  the  highest  average.  175, 
but  Roland  of  the  Cost  Department  is  giving  him 
a  good  run.  Weinman  also  has  high  three-game 
total  with  609. 


BESSIE  ROSE  DIX 

Bessie  Rose  Dix  of  the  Covering  Department, 
one  of  the  younger  employees  at  the  Folmer- 
Century  Works,  passed  away  at  the  family  home, 
February  2nd,  after  a  very  short  illness.  Her  loss 
will  be  greatly  felt  by  friends  and  those  who  had 
come  to  know  her.  We  extend  to  her  family  our 
sincere  sympathy. 


YES-ING  THE  BOSS! 

Yes-ing  the  boss  is  a  great  indoor  sport — 
agreeing  with  him  in  everything  that  he  pro- 
poses or  suggests. 

If  you've  an  idea  to  offer,  a  plan  to  suggest 
whereby  this  or  that  work  can  be  done  more 
effectively,  offer  it!  The  boss  cannot  know  the 
detail  work  of  every  department  and  of  every 
desk.  He  wants  you  to  study  your  work,  to 
improve  it,  no  matter  how  unimportant  your  job 
may  seem  to  you.  He  wants  ideas  from  you. 
But  if  a  better  plan  than  yours  is  suggested,  be 
broad  minded,  admit  it  and  get  behind  the  Big 
Idea. 

Failure  to  make  suggestions  is  not  helping 
the  boss.  Agreeing  with  him  in  everything  he 
suggests  is  not  helping  him. 

Nor  is  it  grooming  yourself  for  a  bigger  job 
and  bigger  responsibilities — Clifford  A.  Slo.\n  in 
Forbes  Magazine. 


We  extend  to  William  Vogt  of  the  Inspection 
Department  our  sincere  sympathy  on  the  death  of 
his  father,  which  occurred  Monday,  February  7th.

PREINIO  CLUB  ENTERTAINS 


The  wliole  world  knows  America  as  the  land  of 
opportunity,  and  our  entire  number  of  Premoers 
knows  the  Premo  Chil)  Rooms  as  the  place  to  be 
royally  entertained.  Wednesday  evening,  February 
9th,  at  8 :15  o'clock,  saw  a  large  percentage  of  Premo 
Club  members  assembled  to  witness  "another  one 
of  those  vaudeville  shows." 

De  Xerey  and  ("ahill  in  their  singing  and  dancing 
act,  Ruth  Parker,  another  Premo  worker,  with  her 
splendid  repertoire  of  .songs,  and  Jack  Winnie  with 
his  comic  selections,  were  on  hand  to  give  the  Club 
the  best  entertainment  vet  seen  and  heard.    Merkel 


SOME  OF  OUR  OLD-TIMERS 

Those  of  our  force  who  have  been  in  the  employ 
of  the  company  for  some  time  past,  will  no  doubt 
recognize  themselves  in  the  picture  of  our  "old 
timers"  or  some  one  with  whom  they  formerly 
worked. 

This  picture  was  taken  in  front  of  the  building 
which  stood  on  our  South  Street  property,  where 
now  stand  the  hmiber  piles.  With  its  walls  adorned 
with  golden  ivy,  this  old  building  presented  a  fine 
background  for  the  taking  of  the  picture.  For  a 
number  of  years,  it  was  used  as  a  storage  for 
stationery,  and  a  large  front  room  was  given  over  to 
a  dining  room.  When  the  new  addition  was 
built  it  became  necessary  to  tear  down  this  old 
building  to  make  room  for  the  present  lumber  piles. 

Ten  of  the  fifteen  men  in  the  picture  are  still 
employed  at  the  Premo.  How  many  of  them  do  you 
recognize? 


and  Lee,  violinists,  along  with  the  excellent  music 
furnished  by  our  Premo  Orchestra,  completed  the 
entertainment. 

The  Committee  that  works  so  faithfully  trying  to 
put  on  only  the  best  entertainment  for  our  Club, 
consists  of  R.  K.  Hatchings  (chairman),  Alice 
Garrett,  Olive  Fagan,  Editli  Beal,  John  Renner, 
Frank  Seelman,  William  Gerstner  and  Walter 
Van  Sanford.  If  you  are  as  well  pleased  with  our 
entertainments  as  is  the  majority  of  us,  tell  the 
Committee  so.  "Our  last  big  show"  was  a  real 
treat,  and  the  committee  assures  us  that  our  next 
entertainment  will  surpass  any  previous  one. 


PREMO  GIRLS  ^TX 

On  the  Bausch  &  Lomb  court,  the  Premo  girls' 
basketball  team  defeated  the  All-Star  Reflector 
girls"  team  composed  of  the  best  players  picked  from 
that  organization.  Much  credit  is  due  both  teams 
for  the  splendid  playing,  but  our  girls'  previous  ex- 
perience on  the  court  resulted  in  a  win  for  the  team. 
It  was  noticeable  that  Mae  Carr,  the  Western  X"^ew' 
York  girls'  champion  high  scorer,  was  held  scoreless 
by  the  clever  guarding  of  Eloise  Dickens,  one  of  our 
Premo  mainstays. 

We  have  the  material  in  our  plant  for  a  champion- 
ship girls'  team.  The  girls  surely  can  play,  as  is 
evidenced  by  this  win  over  the  All-Star  Reflector 
girls'  team.  Xow  all  that  is  lacking  is  the  proper 
spirit  and  your  attendance  at  these  games.  Are 
you  desirous  of  seeing  this  Premo  organization 
holding  the  leadership  in  its  class.^

CAN  YOU  HELP? 

George  Bush's  hobby  of  collecting  cancelled  post- 
age stamps  from  all  parts  of  the  world,  enables  him 
to   communicate,  through   correspondence,  with  a 


GEORGE  BUSH 

great  number  of  collectors  in  foreign  coimtries. 
During  the  past  five  years,  however,  the  most  of 
his  foreign  correspondence  has  ceased,  until  the 
other  day,  he  received  the  following  pathetic  letter 
from  Hungary. 
"Dear  Sir: 

I  hope  that  you  my  name  not  forgotten  have. 
There  is  thirteen  years,  that  I  have  with  you 
send  stamps  in  exchange.  I  can  send  you  very 
much  stamp,  if  you  will  send  to  my  in  exchange, 
something  eatables.  You  have  certain  hearing, 
that  in  Hungarian  little  eatables  there  are. 

For  this  I  plaise  you,  if  you  will  this  make, 
I  send  you  gladly  very  much  good  stamps. 
Awaiting  your  early  reply,  I  am. 
Yours  very  truly, 

KOLOMAN  HeGYESI, 

Rakospalota  Vasut  Utca  25, 
Hungary,  Europa." 
Mr  Bush  asked  us  to  publish  this  letter  in  the 
Kodak  Magazine,  thinking  that  perhaps  there 
might  be  some  postage  stamp  collectors  besides 
himself  in  the  company,  who  could  comply  with  the 
wTiter's  wishes  by  sending  eatables.  There  are  a 
great  many  staple  articles  that  can  be  .sent,  and  by 
getting  in  touch  with  the  Red  Cross,  one  can  find 
out  just  what  is  best  to  send.     Can  you  help.^ 


The  Premo  is  developing  some  clever  vaudeville 
actresses,  a  few  who  are  real  stars.  This  was  proven 
recently  on  "Amateur  Night,"  when  "Babe" 
Cahill  of  the  Assembly  Department  appeared  on  the 
stage  at  the  Family  Theatre  and  carried  off  first  prize. 


The  gloom  has  left  the  face  of  Wray  de  Garmo 
of  the  Metal  Department,  and  he  is  now  as  bright  as 
the  "Eastern  Star."  Wray  says  that  it  is  a  daughter. 
Congratulations ! 


NO  ACCIDENT  DAYS 

See  the  December  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine, 
page  48.  Not  a  single  accident  during  these  days 
looks  as  though  we  are  going  to  do  one  better  and 
make  every  day  a  "no  accident  day."  This  is  a 
splendid  record  and  we  are  proud  of  you.  Keep  it  up  I 


Fifty-eight  Premo  workers  have  signed  up  and  are 
now  attending  the  Industrial  Safety  Supervisors 
School,  which  is  being  conducted  by  the  Rochester

let  us  make  the  attendance  one  hundred  per  cent. 


Theodore  C.  Meitzler  of  the  Assembly  Depart-

True  to  its  word,  the  Metal  Department  took  the 
wind  out  of  the  sails  of  "Jack"  Renner's  Old  Timers 
of  the  Assembly  Department ,  at  a  special  bowling 
match  the  other  evening,  held  at  Colman's.  As  a 
result,  the  girls  of  the  third  floor  have  challenged 
the  Metal  Department  for  a  game,  and  Emma 
Kraftschik  says  that  her  team  will  make  "Nick" 
Decker's  youngsters  sit  up  and  take  notice.

HAS  YOUR  ADDRESS  CHANGED  ? 


Very  few  of  our  employees  realize  the  importance 
of  having  their  correct  addresses  registered  in  the 
Employment  Department.  An  incident  which 
occurred  in  our  factory  recently  will  illustrate  the 
difficulty  and  trouble  which  may  arise  when  an 
employee's  correct  address  is  not  kno-wn. 

One  of  the  workers  in  the  Cabinet  Department 
injured  the  back  of  his  hand  with  a  drill,  and  on 
account  of  the  severe  swelling  ensuing,  called  in 
the  evening  at  the  plant  doctor's  office.  The  doctor, 
in  order  to  ward  off  any  chances  of  blood  poisoning, 
gave  the  employee  an  inoculation  which  caused  a 
reaction  the  next  day.  His  family  being  greatly 
worried  on  account  of  the  apparent  change  for  the 
worse,  called  the  Medical  Department  request- 
ing us  to  send  the  plant  physician  at  once.      The 


WHAT  DOES  THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 
MEANTOME.;* 

This  is  a  question  that  a  great  many  Premo 
workers  are  asking  themselves,  and  some  of  the 
answers  being  received  are  giving  us  a  pretty  good 
idea  of  what  the  magazine  means  to  the  employees. 

The  closing  date  of  the  contest  is  March  31st.  On 
page  41  of  the  January  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine 
are  the  rules  governing  the  contest.  Read  the 
article  over  once  more!     Then  send  in  vour  answer. 


SOME  BO^\XING  PARTY! 

Probably  you  recall  the  story  of  Rip  Van  Winkle 
and  of  the  little  men  who  played  nine-pins.  Surely 
they  had  nothing  on  the  bowling  party  that  the  girls 
of  the  third  floor  held  recently  at  "Lohmaiers"  on 
Bay  Street.  After  attempting  to  knock  down  all 
the  pins  in  two  games,  every  one  present  discovered 
that  the  Premo  Works  has  another  genius  in  Lillian 
Epp  as  a  piano  player.  However,  the  kind  she  plays 
is  an  electric  one.  Such  good  music  was  produced 
with  the  help  of  "Lill's"  nickels  that  the  girls  could 
not  keep  their  feet  still  and  as  a  result,  they  danced 
a  greater  part  of  the  evening.  Yes,  it  was  some 
bowling  party.  

FOUND 

Perhaps  some  of  our  readers  will  be  able  to 
identify  and  lay  claim  to  some  of  the  lost  articles 
which  have  been  sent  to  the  Employment  Depart- 
ment. We  have  a  great  number  of  articles  and  if 
you  have  lost  something,  call  and  look  the  collection 
over. 

ANOTHER  BOWLING  PARTY 

Recently  at  the  Grand  Central  Hall,  "Nick" 
Decker's  Youngsters  of  the  Tool  Department  came 
back  at  "Jack"  Renner's  Old  Timers  of  the  Assembly 
Department  with  a  wallop  that  gave  them  one  of 
the  worst  defeats  on  record.  The  line-up  was  as 
follows:  Decker's  Yoimgsters — H.  Slater,  C.  Kehoe. 
N.  Decker,  C.  Young  (Captain),  V.Theno;  Renner's 
Old  Timers — R.  Schultz,  H.  Pleischer,  J.  Renner 
(Captain),  C.  Gauch,  C.  Kraftschik.  After  this 
exciting  game,  both  teams  were  provided  with  a  fine 
dinner  prepared  by  Mrs.CharlieGauch,  of  17  Immel 
Street.  All  wish  to  thank  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ga>ich 
for  this  pleasant  surprise  and  declare  that,  although 
they  can  beat  Charlie's  bowling,  they  can  not  beat 
Mrs.  Gauch's  cooking. 


known  street  address  was  given  to  the  doctor 
as  it  was  recorded  in  the  Employment  De- 
partment, with  the  request  to  call  on  the  sick 
employee.  After  an  hour  had  passed,  the  mother 
again  called,  asking  that  the  physician  come 
immediately.  Having  already  sent  the  physician, 
we  informed  her  that  he  could  be  expected  any 
minute.  In  the  meantime,  the  doctor  had  called 
at  the  address  given  him  by  the  Employment 
Department  and  was  informed  that  the  family  had 
moved  some  time  previous  and  their  present  address 
was  not  known.  After  some  trouble  and  loss  of 
time,  he  finally  located  the  sick  employee. 

From  this  little  incident,  you  can  readily  realize 
the  importance  of  having  your  correct  address  regis- 
tered in  the  Employment  and  Service  Departments.

PEDRO  PARTIES 

Pedro  parties  at  the  Premo  Works  are  pro\'ing 
^ery  popular.  On  the  second  Wednesday  of  each 
month,  many  members  gather  in  the  Club  Rooms 
to  enjoy  a  monthly  get-together  and  a  few 
games  of  pedro.  Prizes  are  awarded  for  both 
high  and  low  scores,  which  makes  the  competi- 
tion for  the  consolation  prize  just  as  keen  as  for 
the  first  prize.  The  committee  in  charge,  consist- 
ing of  Philip  Voelckel,  chairman,  John  Roach,  Mar- 
garet Swartz  and  Ethel  Green,  annomices  that  the 
next  pedro  party  will  be  held  the  second  Wednes- 
day in  March.  Make  it  a  point  to  be  on  hand 
for  these  parties  and  bring  along  your  friends. 


"^^^1AT  safety  means  to  you  and  me!" 

We  received  the  following  letter  from  Emily  Repp 
of  the  Metal  Department,  which  shows  that  our 
Premo  women  are  becoming  more  interested  in 
safety  work.  Miss  Repp  is  one  of  the  new  members 
of  our  Shop  Safety  Committee  and  is  attending  the 
Industrial  Safety  School,  which  is  being  conducted 
by  the  Rochester  Safety  Council  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce. 

"Just  stop  and  think  of  the  word  'carelessness.' 
It  can  add  to  your  troubles,  subtract  from  your 
earnings,  multiply  your  aches  and  pains  and  in 
the  end  lose  your  chance  for  safety.  You  can 
never  realize  what  safety  means  until  you  have 
been  told  and  have  seen  the  accidents  careless- 
ness has  caused.  We  all  know  that  human  life 
is  the  most  precious  thing  in  the  world  and  I 
feel  sure  that  all  my  fellow- workmen  would  feel 
the  same  if  they  would  learn  the  meaning  of 
Safety,  for  'he  that  conserves  it  is  indeed  his 
brother's  keeper.'  The  responsibility  of  men 
and  women  to  one  another  is  becoming  more 
apparent  as  the  Safety  AVork  advances."

P.  R.  MEINHARD 

Editor 


With  this  issue,  the  Hawk-Fye  section  of  the  Kodak  Magazine  bears  the  name  of  a  new  Assistant 
Editor,  P.  R.  Meinhard.  Wilbur  G.  Woodams,  who  has  steered  the  Hawk-Eye  bark  successfully 
through  the  shoals  of  nine  monthly  voyages,  has  relinquished  the  helm  to  devote  his  entire  attention 
to  personnel  and  safety  work.  We  bespeak  for  his  successor,  Mr.  Meinhard,  the  same  co-operation 
and  support  which   have  enabled  Mr.  Woodams  to  make  the  Hawk-Eye  section  a  leader. — Ed. 


TESTING  A  PHOTOGRAPHIC  LENS  SURFACE 

BY  ROBERT  GUILFORD  OF  THE  ANASTIGMAT  LENS  DEPARTMENT 


Most  people  have  at  some  time  or  other  studied 
maps  and  will  agree  that  the  most  interesting  ones 
are  those  called  topographic  or  contour  maps. 
These  maps,  besides  showing  the  coast  lines  and 
cities,  also  show  the  hills  and  mountains  by  means 
of  contour  lines.  A  contour  map  of  Canada  which 
I  have  is  drawn  in  this  way.  The  coast  line  is 
clearly  shown,  another  line  rims  through  all  points 
which  are  fifty  feet  above  sea  level,  another  through 
points  one  hundred  feet  above  sea  level,  and  so  on 
for  every  fifty  feet.  You  see  we  get  a  good  idea 
of  the  "lay  of  the  land"  from  such  a  map.  By 
counting  the  number  of  lines  between  the  point 
in  question  and  the  sea  we  know  how  high  above 
sea  level  the  given  point  is. 

To  obtain  the  beautiful  pictures  that  anastigmat 
lenses  are  capable  of  producing  it  is  absolutely 
necessary  that  the  surfaces  of  the  lenses  be  truly 
spherical.  That  is,  they  should  have  no  hills  or 
hollows  on  them.  Now  we  want  the  same  kind 
of  map  of  the  lens  surface  as  we  have  of  the  various 
coimtries,  showing  the  hills  and  the  valleys.  Suppose 
we  are  polishing  lenses  with  a  flat  surface.  We 
lay  upon  this  siu-face  a  standard  lens  which   we 


know  has  a  truly  flat  surface,  and  if  there  is  no  dirt 
or  dust  between  these  two  surfaces  we  see  a  series  of 
brilliantly  colored  contour  lines  including  every 
hue  of  the  rainbow.  These  lines  show  us  the  same 
variations  as  the  contour  lines  on  the  map,  but 
with  this  difference: — the  difference  in  elevation 
between  one  line  and  the  next  on  the  map  of  Canada 
is  fifty  feet,  but  on  our  lens  surface  the  difference 
is  one  one-hundred-thousandth  of  an  inch.  These 
contour  lines  are  called  interference  rings  or  New- 
ton's Rings,  and  are  caused  by  the  interference 
between  light  waves  reflected  at  two  surfaces  nearly 
in  contact. 

This  is  a  remarkably  sensitive  test,  and,  imder 
favorable  conditions,  a  hill  or  a  hollow  measuring 
twelve-millionths  of  an  inch  can  readily  be  observed. 
A  perfect  lens  surface  shows  no  lines  whatever  and 
its  entire  surface  is  of  the  same  color,  usually  yellow, 
which  indicates  that  all  points  are  on  the  same 
plane. 

It  is  this  simple  but  accurate  test,  more  than 
anything  else,  that  enables  us  to  produce  thousands 
of  lenses  with  exactly  the  same  curvature  on  each 
surface. 


FOREMEN  HOLD  PEDRO  PARTY 

The  Foremen's  Club  held  forth  recently  in  the 
Lunch  Room  at  another  of  their  enjoyable  pedro 
parties.  Mr.  Watts  of  the  Leather  Department 
was  again  general  chairman  and  piloted  the  affair 
to  a  successful  and  enjoyable  conclusion.  The 
ladies  were  of  course  very  much  in  evidence,  not 
only  in  their  card  playing,  but  because  of  the 
delightful  song-and-piano  selections  contributed 
by  Miss  Thelma  Haus  and  Miss  Grace  Harrison. 
The  club  members  wish  to  express  their  thanks 
to  these  young  ladies  for  helping  out  so  generously. 

The  ladies'  prizes  were  distributed  as  follows: 
first,  Mrs.  Harrison;  second,  Mrs.  Quetchenbach; 
third,  Mrs.  Kowalski. 

George  Diehl  won  the  men's  first  prize,  with 
Mr.  Von  Deben  and  "Bill"  Harrison  second  and 
third  respectively. 


BOWLERS  GAINING 

The  bowling  team  has  been  experiencing  some 
of  the  vicissitudes  of  war,  but  has,  nevertheless, 
been  setting  up  a  creditable  record.  On  January 
29th  the  Folmer-Century  team  was  defeated,  three 
games  to  none.  A  week  later  when  our  team  met 
Premo,  the  score  was  reversed.  Not  discouraged 
by  this  they  tackled  the  strong  Camera  Works 
team  on  February  12th  and  managed  to  annex  one 
game. 

The  men  who  have  been  rolling  are:  Captain 
Kosel,  Stefany,  Kehrig,  Felerski,  Paul  Witz  and 
Weldon.  The  last-named  has  been  a  great  help 
to  the  team,  not  only  through  his  steady  rolling, 
but  also  because  of  his  inexhaustible  "pep." 
George  Kosel  estimates  that  "Jimmie's"  presence 
is  worth  fifty  points  to  Hawk-Eye  before  he  rolls  a 
ball. 

More  bowlers  and  more  rooters  are  still  needed 
to  place  the  team  where  it  belongs  in  the  league.

GIRLS'  FROLIC 


On  Saturday  evening,  February  5th,  one  hundred 
and  fifty  Hawk-Eye  girls  invaded  the  precincts  of 
the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  in  search  of  food,  exercise,  enter- 
tainment, and  a  general  good  time.  The  occasion 
was  the  Girls'  Frolic,  which  has  become  an  annual 
event  and  one  that  is  eagerly  awaited  by  all  those 
girls  who  have  taken  part  in  it  heretofore.  Consid- 
erable time  and  energy  were  spent  in  preparing  this 
year's  program  and  for  the  benefit  of  those  who 
were  not  there,  be  it  said  that  they  missed  some- 
thing, for  the  affair  was  run  off  with  a  spirit  and 
finish  that  left  nothing  to  be  desired. 

A  number  of  acknowledgments  are  in  order  for 
the  generous  help  that  was  instrumental  in  the 
success  of  the  party.  We  are  especially  indebted 
to  the  Y.  \V.  C.  A.,  whose  kindness  in  placing  the 
entire  building  at  the  disposal  of  the  Hawk-Eye 
girls  made  the  party  possible. 

The  early  arrivals  played  games  in  the  Assembly 
Hall  imder  Miss  Bancroft's  direction.  At  nine 
o'clock  the  word  was  passed  that  things  were  about 
to  begin  in  the  auditorium.  By  this  time  the 
"gang  was  there,"  including  the  basketball  girls 
who  had  just  arrived  from  the  scene  of  another 
hard-earned  victory. 

If  there  was  any  doubt  in  the  minds  of  the 
audience  as  to  the  calibre  of  the  entertainment,  it 
was  dispelled  by  the  first  number,  a  mock  wedding 
staged  by  the  Pitch  Buttoning  Department.  Lillian 
Kane  played  the  role  of  Vjride,  and  the  necessary 
evil,  the  groom,  was  portrayed  by  Bella  Xolin. 
Tina  Drummond,  as  maid  of  honor,  and  Jennie 
Gardner,  as  best  man,  were  also  on  hand  to  make 
the  wedding  a  most  unusual  one.  Evelyn  Price, 
Mrs.  Cooper  and  Mildred  Miller  completed  the 
wedding  party. 

Elizabeth  Block,  appareled  as  a  little  artist  in 
pink  and  blue  satin,  gave  an  exhibition  of  toe 
dancing  that  cliarmcd  tlic  aiKliciici'. 


There  followed  a  singing  act  given  by  the  Blocking 
Room.  Grace  Close,  Loretta  Klein,  Anna  Schipper, 
Marcelle  Vuillier,  Vera  Mackay  and  Evelyn  Close 
represented  the  department.  They  pleased  the 
audience  with  their  various  selections  and  all 
agreed  that  the  biggest  hit  was  "That's  Where 
My  Money  Goes."  They  are  certainly  some 
warblers. 

The  attention  of  the  audience  was  now  claimed 
by  a  sketch  entitled  "The  Sniggles  Family,"  pre- 
sented by  the  Cleaning  and  Inspecting  Department. 
Florence  Henn  impersonated  Mrs.  Sniggles,  and 
the  five  daughters  of  Mrs.  Sniggles  were  portrayed 
by  Pauline  Leimberger,  Julia  Short,  Irene  Martin, 
"Goldy"  Duske  and  Lyda  Ladwig.  The  last 
was  the  giggling  girl  of  the  family  and  on  account 
of  causing  the  on-lookers  to  giggle  to  such  a  degree, 
it  was  finally  deemed  necessary  to  move  Lyda 
from  the  stage  to  prevent  prostrations  in  the 
audience. 

The  closing  number  was  supplied  by  four  rollick- 
ing sailors,  Lillian  Hoffmeier,  Helen  Kieffer,  Flor- 
ence Bess  and  Erma  Walzer,  who  sang  an  appro- 
priate ditty  of  the  sea  and  also  danced  a  feminized 
version  of  a  sailor's  hornpipe.  The  jolly  cigarette- 
smoking  tars  were  encored  and  Helen  Kieffer 
carried  out  a  large  flag  while  they  sang  the  "Star 
Spangled  Banner." 

Betty  Holland,  immediately  after  the  close  of 
the  last  number,  announced  that  the  refreshments 
were  ready  in  the  dining  room,  which  precipitated 
a  rush  to  the  lower  floor.  The  luncheon  was 
served  to  the  famished  crowd  with  the  help  of 
Messrs.  Percy  and  Leggatt,  official  photographers, 
who  were  the  only  men  to  find  their  way  into  the 
sacred  confines  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

It  was  certainly  some  frolic  in  more  than  one 
way  and  another  and  the  girls  all  agree  that  the 
"Y.  W."  must  be  the  center  from  which  all  fun

MARTIN  TIPPLE 
Manager  of  Hawk-Eye's  Indoor  Baseball  Team 


INDOOR  BASEBALL  TEAM  TAKES  TWO 

Owing  to  various  functions  at  Exposition  Park 
which  prevented  access  to  the  diamond,  the  indoor 
baseball  team  has  been  able  to  play  only  two  games 
in  the  last  month.  The  game  scheduled  with  the 
Bausch  &  Lomb  team  on  January  ^Oth  went  to 
Hawk-Eye  by  default.  It  seems  that  B.  &  L.'s 
manager  gave  no  indication  of  reneging  until  about 
an  hour  before  game  time,  when  he  asked  to  be 
excused  on  account  of  not  being  able  to  scare  up  a 
quorum.  "You'd  better  show  up,"  shouted  "Mart" 
Tipple  over  the  phone,  "even  if  you  have  to  come 
alone."  He  did.  The  Hawk-Eye  team  spent  the 
evening  at  marbles. 

Tipple's  protegees  didn't  get  much  more  exercise 
in  the  next  game,  played  with  the  Vacuum  Oil 
nine  on  January  28th.  The  opposition  didn't 
do  very  well  against  Copenhagen's  hurling,  garner- 
ing neither  a  run  nor  a  hit.  They  Avere  prominent, 
however,  in  the  error  column.  The  final  verdict 
was  19-0  for  Hawk-Eye.  "Mart"  himself  went 
in  at  right  field  and  played  a  great  game.  Long, 
with  two  circuit  wallops,  a  triple  and  an  assortment 
of  bingles,  led  our  team  in  the  hitting. 


A  few  dime  baaks  in  the  office  have  been  filling 
very  rapidly  of  late.  Are  all  these  cries  about 
hard  times  unfounded,  Watson,  or  is  there  a  deeper 
and  more  subtle  reason  for  this  sudden  economy.' 


Our  congratulations  are  extended  to  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Leo  Kryger,  to  whom  a  baby  girl  was  born  on 
February  3rd.  She  weighed  ten  pounds  at  birth 
and  has  been  named  Doris  Ruth. 


"Jack"  Rearson  is  at  present  working  in  the 
Tool  Room.  His  fellow-workers  hope  that  he  will 
not  return  to  the  Drafting  Department  until  they 
have  at  least  had  an  opportunity  to  get  acquainted 
with  him  again. 


The  mild  weather  has  set  "Bill"  Schlegel  dreaming 
about  baseball.  It  wouldn't  be  very  much  of  a 
surprise  to  see  him  trotting  his  girls'  team  out  to 
the  back  lot  one  of  these  balmy  days.  With  both 
the  baseball  team  and  a  new  Essex  car  to  guide 
"Bill"  should  have  a  busv  season. 


A  number  of  our  girls  have  recently  organized  a 
club  for  the  Hawk-Eye  girls  at  the  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

They  meet  there  every  Wednesday  night  at  6:30 
for  a  good  supper,  which  costs  them  only  fifteen 
cents.  Between  7:00  and  8:30  they  can  take  a  class 
in  millinery  or  first-aid  or  take  advantage  of  the 
library.  They  also  have  the  option  of  spending 
part  or  all  of  an  hour  at  "gym"  work  or  swimming, 
or  both.  Very  attractive  special  rates  for  club 
members  apply  on  all  these  activities.  From  8:30 
imtil  9:00  a  club  meeting  is  held. 

Fifteen  girls  have  joined  to  date  and  are  greatly 
pleased  with  the  good  times  they  have  had  and 
the  progress  they  have  made.  More  members 
are  expected  and  solicited. 


Peter  Born  recently  brought  his  little  daughter 
home  from  the  hospital,  where  she  had  been  confined 
with  scarlet  fever.  We  hope  that  this  issue  will  see 
her  fully  recovered.

HAWK-EYE  GIRLS  VICTORIOUS  IN  CAINIERA  WORKS  SERIES 


The  three-game  series  with  the  Camera  Works 
resulted  in  final  victory  for  the  Hawk-Eye  girls. 
"Billy"  Maier  saved  the  bacon  in  the  first  encounter 
by  dropping  in  a  foul  near  the  final  whistle,  making 
the  score  7-6. 

Incidentally  she  dropped  in  two  other  free  shots 
and,  along  with  Elizabeth  Meerdink,  scored  all 
of  our  points.  Elizabeth  played  a  stellar  game, 
both  in  shooting  and  in  team-work. 

Speaking  of  stars.  Rose  Xusbaum  of  the  Camera 
Works  held  our  own  Alice  scoreless,  and  Ruth 
Kimmel  scored  all  the  points  for  her  team. 

In  the  second  game,  played  a  few  days  later,  our 
girls  showed  more  individual  playing  than  co- 
ordination. Besides,  "Peg"  Murphy  was  the 
main  cog  in  a  brand  of  team-work  that  had  us 
guessing  part  of  the  time.  Result:  a  7-10  defeat 
at  the  hands  of  our  friendly  enemies. 

We  put  a  spoke  in  their  wheel  though  on  February 
14th,  the  date  of  the  third  game.  When  Virginia 
Earl's  opponent  dropped  in  a  basket  in  the  first 
half  it  riled  our  sturdy  little  guard  to  such  an 
extent  that  she  jumped  into  a  clinch  every  time* 
the  ball  came  her  way.  Result:  Xo  more  scoring 
by  the  Camera  Works.  In  the  meantime  Elizabeth 
Meerdink  and  Grace  Wiemer  accoimted  for  ten 
points  between  them  and  "Billy"  added  two  free 
points.  Alice  Gears  rimmed  the  basket  a  number 
of  times,  but  she  had  forgotten  her  rabbit's  foot 
and  couldn't  "sink"  a  shot.  Final  score — 12-2  for 
Hawk-Eye. 

The  set-to  with  the  girls  from  Bastian  Brothers 
on  January  27th  looked  like  a  nip-and-tuck  affair 
during  the  first  half.  Between  the  halves  our  girls 
took  a  siesta  or  something,  and,  on  their  return, 
scored  sixteen  points  to  their  opponents'  one, 
making  the  final  tally  20-3.  Alice  Gears  was 
exceedingly  careless  and  rolled  in  five  field  baskets. 

The  opposition  offered  by  the  Selden  girls  on 
February  3rd  was  stiffer  than  Hawk-Eye  had  looked 
for.  However,  Alice  and  "Billy"  managed  to  roll 
up  ten  points  between  them  while  Selden's  best 
was  four,  and  the  game  ended  on  this  basis. 

The  night  was  dark  and  stormy  when  the  girls 
journeyed  out  to  Central  Park  to  play  the  Big 
Brother  Royal  Girls.  Be  it  said  for  the  latter  that 
their  name  doesn't  seem  so  top-heavy  after  one 
sees  them  play.  They  gave  Hawk-Eye  a  beautiful 
work-out  and  were  nosed  out  by  only  one  point. 
Alice   Gears,    Elizabeth    Meerdink   and    the   great 


"Billy"  managed  to  gather  seven  points,  aided  by 
sterling  playing  on  the  part  of  Grace  Wiemer, 
Virginia  Earl,  Ethel  Reinhardt  and  Olive  Kellett. 


L()Iu;tta  m.  ereth 

A  Former  Star 

In  the  meantime  Jennie  Walzer  and  Mae  Carr 
fought  hard  to  exceed  the  mark  of  six,  but  to  no 
avail.     It  was  a  noteworthy  victory  for  our  girls. 

They  had  another  strenuous  time  when  they 
met  the  Stamping  Works  a  few  nights  later.  Out- 
side talent  was  very  much  in  evidence  among  our 
opponents,  and,  under  the'  circumstances,  a  5-0 
victory  for  Hawk-Eye  is  very  much  to  our  credit. 

The  girls  are  all  getting  into  the  game  in  fine 
style.  "Bill"  Schlegel  is  having  \-isions  of  a  city 
championship  and  they  are  in  a  fair  way  of  being 
realized.

HAWK-EYE  BASKETEERS  ARE  WINNING  GAMES 


On  January  "^Oth  the  loyal  Hawk-Eye  rooters 
enjoyed  seeing  the  Purple  and  White  hit  its  stride 
in  a  game  with  the  Rochester  Stamping  ( 'ompany. 
The  game  was  rather  a  light  work-out  for  "Cap" 
Petersen's  men,  the  final  score  being  56-13.  Rabin, 
Miller  and  Petersen  among  them  accounted  for 
twenty-one   field   baskets. 

A  week  later  we  were  defeated  by  one  "Ike" 
Cohen,  assisted  by  the  Fashion  Park  "quint." 
"Ike"  might  be  said  to  have  been  one  too  many 
for  us,  since  he  "steved"  in  the  final  basket  which 
beat  us  by  one  point.  The  score  was  31-30.  "Ike's" 
modest  contribution  was  seventeen  points  and  most 
of  the  teamwork. 

Mr.  Cohen  undoubtedly  did  a  wise  thing  when 
he  went  in  as  running  guard  instead  of  at  his 
regular  forward  position.  At  forward  he  would 
not  only  have  been  a  marked  man,  but  would  have 
had  one  Petersen  guarding  him.  At  guard  he 
Mas  able  to  elude  Rabin  time  and  again,  Rabin 
himself  being  too  busy  on  the  offense  to  watch  his 
fast  opponent. 

The  closeness  of  the  score  is  a  sufficient  indication 
of  how  our  team  played.  It  is  hard  to  pick  any 
individual  stars  because,  on  the  whole,  the  team 
played  together.  However,  "Cliff"  Johnson  dupli- 
cated Ike  Cohen's  stunt  when  he  dribbled  the  length 
of  the  court  and  scored  unassisted.  Petersen 
was  high  scorer  for  Hawk-Eye  with  three  field  goals 
and  five  fouls. 

Rather  a  hammer-and-tongs  affair  was  the  game 
with  the  American  A.  C.  on  February  3rd.     Some 


portions  of  the  game  were  nothing  more  nor  less 
than  indoor  footl)all.  There  were  also  one  or  two 
fistic  encounters  that  kept  things  moving.  All 
in  all  it  was  quite  a  mixed  bill.  The  first  half 
was  close,  but  in  the  second  period  Hawk-Eye 
scored  fourteen  points  to  its  opponent's  five  and 
cinched  the  game  at  21-10.  Our  guards,  Petersen 
and  Levine,  not  only  held  Brightman  and  Wiegand 
to  one  basket  apiece,  but  caged  the  ball  twice 
themselves. 

"Pete"  led  his  men  on  a  journey  into  the  "heart 
of  Italy"  on  Fel>ruary  .5th,  when  they  played  the 
Big  Brothers  on  their  own  court.  Johnson  either 
didn't  start  or  was  lost  overboard  on  the  way,  and 
a  substitution  was  necessary  at  the  center  position. 
Lanky  "Cliff"  was  sadly  missed  and  his  absence  is 
sufficient  explanation  of  the  defeat  we  suffered, 
28-22. 

In  a  return  game  with  the  Stamping  Company 
a  few  nights  later,  the  opposition  was  loaded  with 
outside  talent  which,  if  anj'thing,  added  sport  to 
the  affair.  Johnson,  for  instance,  wore  out  three 
jnen  and  called  for  more.  He  had  a  very  large 
evening,  dropping  them  in  from  angles  we  had 
never  known  existed.  One  uncanny  shot  elicited  a 
five-minute  ovation. 

Petersen  and  Miller  each  scored  three  times, 
Rabin  seven,  and  Johnson  eight.  Even  the  score 
of  42-15  does  not  show  the  extent  to  which  our  team 
outplayed  the  Stamping  outfit. 

The  team  is  in  fine  form  and  will  imdoubtedly 
finish  the  season  in  the  well-knowTi  blaze  of  glory. 


PINOCHLE  TOURNAMENT 

The  month  of  January  saw  the  completion  of 
our  first  Pinochle  Tournament,  which  had  been 
going  on  for  about  eight  weeks.  Some  eighty  men 
took  part,  the  entrants  being  pretty  equally  divided 
between  the  Lens  and  Metal  Divisions.  In  order 
that  the  business  end  of  the  tournament  might 
be  well  handled,  Russell  Craib  was  elected  president, 
Dennis  Dwyer  was  chosen  as  secretary  for  the  Lens 
Division  and  Leo  Mason  as  secretary  for  the  Metal 
Division.  The  men's  lunch  room  was  the  scene  of 
the  matches  and  here  each  man  faced  a  new  oppo- 
nent every  day,  the  decision  going  to  the  winner  of 
two  of  the  three  games  played.  When  the  matches 
had  all  been  run  off,  the  following  headed  the  two 
divisions  and  received  the  cash  awards:  Lens 
Division,  first  prize,  Gregory  George;  second, 
Paul  Witz;  third,  Chris  Ott;  Metal  Division,  first 
prize,  George  Kramer;  second,  Frank  Fink;  third, 
Henry  Fields.  

Mr.  Newman's  department  has  added  two  more 
engagements  to  its  ever-growing  list:  Betty  Holland 
to  Harold  Frank,  and  Irene  Martin  to  Roy  Varney. 
To  the  two  young  gentlemen  we  wish  to  convey 
our  congratulations,  and  to  Mr.  Newman  our 
.sympathy.  He  is  hoping  they  won't  be  in  a  hurry 
to  take  the  final  step. 


Roy  Schultz  and  Co.  have  been  taking  in  the 
linen  and  house-furnishing  sales  at  the  leading 
department  stores.  Roy's  fellow-workers  are  won- 
dering how  many  cedar  chests  have  been  filled,  and 
whether  they  could  get  a  peep  at  them  some  time. 


MEN'S  GLEE  CLUB 

A  Men's  Glee  Club  has  recently  been  formed  and 
is  practicing  assiduously  several  times  a  week. 
The  progress  made  thus  far  has  been  very  encourag- 
ing to  everyone  concerned,  and  the  club  may 
shortly  be  expected  to  blossom  out  in  an  exhibition 
of  talent.     The  personnel  to  date  is  as  follows: 

First  Tenor:  ("harles  F.  Browii,  Raymond 
Heier,  Carl  Hoffman,  Percy  McKee,  Robert 
Stewart,  Floyd  Williams. 

Second  Tenor:  Martin  Birmingham,  Joseph 
Brady,  Clarence  Diehl,  Joseph  Engel,  Fred  Helbing, 
James  McKee,  Louis  Schnorr,  John  Vass. 

Baritone:  Fred  Altman,  Ralph  Burhans,  William 
DeWitte,  George  Heffner.  Edwin  Larter,  Arthur 
Rapp,  L.  D.  Sands. 

Bass:  William  Ever,  Frank  Fink,  Norman 
Stiffler. 

All  singers  who  have  not  been  enrolled  are  urged 
to  register  at  the  Employment  Department  or 
simply  to  begin  attending  the  rehearsals  which 
are  announced  periodically  by  means  of  bulletins. 


The  Cleaning  and  Inspecting  Department  is 
now  located  in  its  new  quarters  on  the  fifth  floor 
of  Building  6.  The  move  is  greatly  appreciated 
by  everyone  in  the  department.  All  believe  that 
it  would  be  hard  to  find  more  pleasant  and  cleaner 
surroundings,  or  a  better  arranged  room  for  the 
work  to  be  done,  anywhere  in  the  city.  The  girls 
are  proud  of  their  new  home  and  feel  that  its 
attractive  atmosphere  will  produce  more  cheerful 
dispositions  as  well  as  better  work.

CAMERA  WORKS  QUINTETTES  LOSE  TO  KODAK  OFFICE 


"*"  Kodak  Office  blasted  tlie  hopes  of  Camera  Works 
in  a  rather  one-sided  contest,  Thursday  evening, 
February  10th,  on  Masonic  Temple  court,  by  a  score 
of  41  to'lo. 

The  Kodak  Office  girls'  team  was  equally  vic- 
torious; they  garnered  eight  points  to  the  Camera 
Works  lassies'  lone  tally. 

In  the  early  part  of  the  men's  game  the  Camera 
Works  team  displayed  some  very  clever  pass  work, 
but  inability  to  locate  the  basket  cost  them  the 
game. 

"Red"  Gee,  Haag,  and  "Toddy"  Diehl  were  the 
chief  point  getters  for  the  pen-pushers,  although 
every  man  on  the  team  accounted  for  at  least  one 
basket.  For  Camera  Works,  O'Connor  and 
Pressiey  featured. 

The  contest  between  the  girls'  teams  was  a 
rather  tame  affair,  Margaret  Massing  and  Ruth 
Kimmel  being  responsible  for  the  defeat  of  the 
Camera  Works  girls,  who  seemed  to  lie  completely 
baffled  and  were  only  able  to  obtain  one  point.

The  Kodak  Office  men  proved  too  strong  for  the 
Rochester  Business  Institute  five  at  the  R.  B.  I. 
Auditorium  on  February  16th.  Superior  shooting 
and  faster  pass  work  were  the  principal  weapons 
used  to  beat  the  R.  B.  I.  men.    Score  -28  to  23. 

With  one  minute  to  plav,  the  score  stood — Kodak 
24,  and  R.  B.  I.  23,  when  "Toddy"  Diehl  and  Rabin 
dropped  in  a  couple  from  the  floor,  to  blast  the  hopes

SALES  GIRLS  HOLD  CORNER  OX  GIRLS' 
BOWLING  RECORDS 

With  the  initial  season  of  the  Kodak  Office  Girls' 
Bowling  League  six  weeks  under  way,  the  Sales 
Department  team  holds  all  records.  The  loth 
floor  ladies  lead  the  League  with  eleven  games  won 
and  a  single  defeat.  They  also  hold  the  high 
team  record  with  a  score  of  495  and  high  two  games 
with  91.5.  Mrs.  Vanderpool  of  the  Sales  team 
has  high  individual  game  with  a  score  of  144, 
while  her  two  game  total  of  273  has  also  been 
unequalled.  As  logically  follows,  Mrs.  Vander- 
pool's  average  of  108  is  also  high  among  those 
members  of  the  League  who  have  rolled  more 
than  two  or  three  games.  Some  of  the  newcomers, 
however,  bid  fair  to  surpass  this  mark  before  the 
end  of  the  season. 


Margaret  Quinlivan  has  returned  to  her  duties 
in  the  Export  Shipping  Department,  after  an 
absence  of  two  weeks  due  to  illness. 


The  Welfare  Club  of  the  Shipping  Department, 
at  a  recent  meeting,  elected  these  officers  for  1921: 
Chairman,  George  Howard;  Secretary  and  Treas- 
urer, Edward  Goetzman;  Committee,  PMorence 
Huber,  Charles  Howard,  George  Howard,  and 
Arthur  Ernisse.  The  Club  has  been  in  existence 
since  January  1,  1915.  It  now  has  130  members 
and  is  in  a  flourishing  financial  condition. 


Alice  Zingsheim  has  sold  her  home  on  Wellesley 
Street.  The  girls  of  the  Auditing  Department 
are  looking  forward  to  another  pleasant  reunion 
before  they  move. 


To  the  members  of  the  Shipping  Department 
Welfare  Club: 

I  wish  to  thank  the  members  and  officers  of  the 
Shipping  Department  Welfare  Club  for  their  kind- 
ness and  sympathy  shown  in  my  recent  bereavement . 
John  A.  Marcello. 


Isabella  Koch  of  the  Government  Shipping  has 
the  sympathy  of  the  entire  plant  on  the  death  of 
her  mother,  which  occurred  in  Denver.  Colorado, 
Februarv  8th. 


The  Advertising  Department  announces  the 
engagement  of  Mary  Bryere  to  Henry  Mensing. 
They  have  our  best  wishes. 

Ethel  Bauman  of  the  Advertising  Department 
is  away  on  a  leave  of  absence.  Good  luck  to  you 
Ethel,  and  we  hope  that  your  condition  will  permit 
you  to  rejoin  us  soon. 


The  Repair  Department  announces  the  engage- 
ment of  Paul  Yanke  to  Edna  Ruidig.  Congrat- 
ulations, Paul. 


^Slason  Gaflney,  who  for  some  time  has  been  a 
correspondent  in  the  Repair  Department,  has 
resigned  to  accept  a  position  as  teacher  of  history 
at  East  High  School.  Although  we  are  sorry  to 
lose  Mason,  Me  wish  him  every  success  in  his  new 
work. 


CjTithia  Cassidy  of  the  Tabulating  Department 
is  away  on  sick  leave.  We  are  sorry  that  you  are 
ill,  CjTithia,  and  hope  you  will  get  well  soon. 


The  Stock  Distribution  Department  announces 
the  engagement  of  Hazel  B.  Himes  to  Harry 
Benowitz  of  this  citv. 


Harriet  Stevens  of  the  Repair  Department  has 
returned  to  Kodak,  after  a  three  weeks"  leave  of 
absence.  Harriet  has  been  taking  care  of  her 
mother  in  Dansville. 


The  Medical  Department  doesn't  seem  quite 
the  same  since  Kathryn  ("Billie"j  Burke  left. 
Her  pleasing  manner  and  her  willingness  to  help 
the  rest  of  us  will  never  be  forgotten.  We  wish 
her  the  greatest  success  in  her  new  work  and  hope 
that  she  will  be  as  greatly  appreciated  there  as 
she  was  here.

SOME  TIME! 

On  Tuesday  evening,  February  8,  twenty  men 
of  tlie  Billing  Department  held  a  Pig  Roast  and 
Bowling  Party  at  A.  F.  Muisus's. 

Supper  was  served  to  the  hungry  twenty,  and 
the  satisfied  expressions  on  their  faces  testified 
to  the  excellence  of  the  food.  "Ed"  Hilbert  read  a 
poem  consisting  of  a  satire  on  each  individual 
present. 

During  the  bowling  that  followed  high  scores 
went  to  Joe  Kick  and  Max  Goebel.  It  is  expected 
that  Charles  Hersey  will  be  admitted  to  the  pro- 
fessional atmosphere  of  our  regular  League  team 
very  soon.  Our  good  friend,  Bill  Croft,  brought 
in  a  number  of  real  strikes. 

The  spirit  of  the  affair,  however,  lay  in  the 
good-natured  remarks  made  by  the  individual 
rollers.  "Bill"  Shepard's  originality  helped  to 
banish  any  dull  moments.  He  was  busy  finding 
out  if  there  were  any  in  the  team  whom  he  could 
either  beat  or  tie. 

Last,  but  not  least,  the  credit  for  finding  this 
temple  of  amusement  belongs  to  Charles  Hanley.

brating in  honor  of  the  "lucky  move,"  she  invited 
a  few  girls  from  the  Mail  Department  to  her  home.

just  returned  from  a  brief  visit  to  New  York  City 
with  a  very  charming  little  bride.  Accept  our 
hearty  congratulations.  We  hope  you  will  both 
like  Rochester. 


Clarence  Franklin  of  the  Auditing  Department

IRENE  STAPE  HAMILTON 
BIDS  FAREWELL 

It  isn't  to  be  wondered  at  that  every  effort 
was  concentrated  on  making  a  certain  dinner  at 
Teall's,  January  26th.  a  big  success,  for  wasn't 
the  party  in  honor  of  Irene  Stape  Hamilton;  surely 
that  in  itself  speaks  for  the  success  everyone  wanted 
it  to  be.  The  high  spirits  of  the  twenty-two  people 
present  would  never  have  indicated  how  they 
really  felt  about  Irene's  leaving,  but  all  were  there 
for  a  good  time  and  they  had  it. 

The  party  began  with  soup  and  ended  with 
dancing,  and  in  between  were  all  kinds  of  good 
things  to  eat,  games  and  stimts  performed  by  gifted 
members  of  the  11th  floor.  There  was  no  St. 
Nicholas,  but  we're  sure  he  had  a  hand  in  the 
affair  for  Irene  carried  home  with  her  some  silver, 
knives  and  forks — (just  to  allay  any  suspicion 
which  might  arise,  the  silver  did  not  belong  to 
Teall) — and  several  other  tokens  of  the  regard 
which  all  of  her  friends  have  for  her;  though  why  she 
should  be  given  a  hammer  and  a  hair  receiver  we 
can't  imagine.  Perhaps  Fred  Le  Clare  and"  Charlie" 
Johnson  might  throw  some  light  on  the  subject. 

Marie  Baker  O'Donnel  was  a  big  factor  in  the 
success  of  the  occasion,  as  she  played  so  that  the 
rest  could  dance.  We  said  the  party  ended  with 
dancing,  so  it's  time  to  stop,  but  not  before  every- 
one has  wished  Irene  good  luck  and  told  lier  that 
she  is  going  to  be  missed  very  badly  in  the  Order 
Department. 

There  were  several  other  parties  in  her  honor, 
one  of  the  nicest  being  a  dinner  given  by  Grace 
Nolan,  Ethel  Ludwig,  Katherine  Lamphere,  and 
Grace  Murray. 


I  shall  not  easily  forget  the  kindness  of  my 
friends  in  the  Main  Office  during  my  recent  illness. 
Their  many  expressions  of  goodwill  and  friendship 
will  remain  fresh  in  my  mind  long  after  the  pain 
and  suffering  are  forgotten.  To  them  all,  and 
especially  to  Henry  Brinker  and  to  Miss  Corinne 
Welch,  I  wish  to  express  my  thanks.  If  it  is  ever 
their  misfortune  to  be  visited  by  such  a  siege  as  I 
have  had,  I  can  wish  them  nothing  better  than  to 
receive  the  .same  loving  kindness  that  I  did.

HOW  ABOUT  THE  SMOKER! 


This  is  where  the  Editor  can  say  what  he  actually 
saw,  and  about  eight  hundred  other  club  members 
will  verify  the  opinion  that  it  was  the  best  little 
smoker  we  have  ever  "pulled  off."  Because  of 
the  rulings  of  the  State  Boxing  Commission,  of 
course,  it  was  impossible  to  stage  professional 
or  semi-professional  bouts,  but  we  have  proved 
that  friendly  ones  are  just  as  interesting  as  knock- 
out, slugging  Bghts,  and  they  are  certainly  more 
scientific.  AH  the  performers  and  their  helpers 
were  club  members,  and  volunteered  to  match 
up  without  pay  or  prizes  of  any  kind.  It  was 
absolutely  a  club  proposition  from  start  to  finish, 
with  admission  by  membership  card  only,  and 
it  speaks  well  for  the  co-operative  spirit  among 
the  boys.  "Grudge"  bouts  were  taboo,  and  great 
credit  is  due  to  "Joe"  Sullivan  for  his  ability  in 
arranging  real  friendly  matches. 

Five  amateur  boxing  bouts  and  one  wrestling 
match  were  staged,  the  referee  being  John  Heaphy, 
Jr.  The  work  was  judged  on  points,  and  each 
boxer  did  his  level  best  to  win.  Leon  Smith  was 
pitted  against  Joe  Jeffery  and  the  honors  were 
about  even.  All  the  bouts  were  limited  to  four 
rounds  of  two  minutes  each,  by  Jack  Sharkey,  who 
was  the  official  timekeeper.  Lewis  Leon  put 
up  a  good  exhibition  with  Carl  Kowalski,  but  Carl 
managed  to  get  the  decision.  The  crowd  had  a 
hard  task  to  decide  between  Pete  Di  Jioia  and  Elmer 
Johnson,  but  the  latter  secured  the  honors  by  a 
small  margin.  Frank  Bindee  and  William  Hum- 
mel displayed  good  judgment  in  guarding  and 
hitting,  the  advantage  being  slightly  on  Frank's 
side.     The  most  scientific  bout  was  the  one  between 


Dan  Marcille  and  Sara  Zona.  Excitement  ran 
high  among  the  fans,  numerous  shafts  of  admiration 
and  advice  being  hurled  at  the  contestants.  Both 
men  were  in  good  trim,  and  the  four  rounds  were 
too  short  for  one  boxer  to  show  much  advantage 
over  the  other.  The  popular  decision  ran  to 
Marcille. 

Harry  Briggs  was  heard  to  bemoan  the  present 
restrictions  on  the  noble  art  of  self-defense,  and 
he  longed^or  the  good  old  days  when  contests  were 
fought  to  a  finish,  minus  six-ounce  gloves. 

The  wrestling  match  was  limited  to  fifteen 
minutes,  and  Albert  Downs  and  Albert  Slarks 
weighed  in  evenly  at  one  hundred  fifty  pounds. 
Downs  succeeded  in  getting  four  falls  out  of  five. 
Toe-holds,  head-locks,  half-Nelsons  and  body 
scissors  were  in  evidence  and  the  lads  gave  us  a 
good  exhibition. 

During  the  intervals  between  the  athletic  stunts, 
we  were  favored  with  three  excellent  acts.  Charles 
F.  Rogers  sang  two  popular  songs.  Chester  St. 
Clair  danced  the  "buck  and  wing"  and  Joe  Murtha 
told  stories  and  played  the  saxophone.  Frank 
O'Brien  was  the  official  announcer,  and  the  general 
committee  was  composed  of  Charles  H.  Rogers, 
Frank  Miller,  Herbert  S.  Thorpe,  Charles  Kivell. 
Frank  Reynolds  and  Joseph  Sullivan.  The 
general  opinion  is  that  the  Board  of  Managers 
of  the  Recreation  Club  should  announce  another 
entertainment  of  some  kind  before  the  summer 
season  commences.  It  is  evident  that  there  is 
talent  galore  in  this  club  to  stage  any  kind  of  a 
show,  and  the  interest  displayed  at  these  two 
functions  warrants  further  activities. 


CRANKING! 


Everyone  has,  or  wants,  or  has  had — a  "flivver." 

And  this  story  is  about  one  with  a  self-starter; 
that  is,  a  starter  that  really  starts — (and  they  are 

as  scarce  on  a  flivver  as  a ).     Anyhow,  let's 

get  on  with  the  story. 

Have  you  ever  watched  a  fellow  crank,  and 
swear,  and  crank,  and  swear,  and  then  stop  for 
breath.' 

Then,  by  way  of  a  change,  he  swears,  and  cranks, 
and  swears,  and  cranks,  and  the  tin  conundrum 
takes  its  sermon  from  the  text  of  Poe's  poem  where 
it  says:  "Quoth  the  Raven — Nevermore!"  (only- 
it's  a  "flivver"  instead  of  a  raven,  but  just  as  dead). 

And  then,  after  the  air  is  blue — not  with  burnt 
exhaust  gas — but  with  cuss  words  sprinkled  with 
perspiration,  a  meek-looking  little  fellow  steps  out 
of  the  crowd,  inserts  his  forefinger  into  the  hook 
of  the  priming-wire,  gives  the  crank-handle  four 


-chug,  chug,   "Lizzie's" 


slow  quarter-turns  and- 
breathing! 

Can  you  see  anything  to  this  story.' 

There's  always  some  little  lesson  in  everyday 
occurrences. 

You  wouldn't  imagine  that  a  "flivver"  story  had 
anything  to  do  with  your  progress — but  it  has. 

How  many  of  us  have  cranked  and  cranked  at 
our  job,  never  pausing  to  consider  wliij,  and  never 
caring  to  find  out  the  really  efficient  way?  Finally 
someone  submits  a  Suggestion  to  the  "Boss" 
about  yovr  job,  and  then  you  wonder  why  you 
didn't  see  it  first.  Why  not  pull  the  priming  wire? 
Get  your  imagination  working.  Don't  handle 
your  job  as  if  it  were  automatic.  Get  a  line  on  the 
intelligent  end  of  your  work  and  think!

IS  THIS  A  RECORD? 

We  believe  that  a  record  has  been  made  in  the 
Woodworking  Departments,  for  thirteen  men  have 
put  in  continuous  service  of  over  two  hundred 
sixty  years.  The  following  men  each  have  twenty 
vears  or  over  to  their  credit : 


August  Knight 
William  Hartell 
Ignace  Kondriarski 
James  Witters 
Armenias  Rankin 
Frank  Hever 


Alphonse  Walters 
Walter  Redhead 
Albert  Porter 
Frank  Metzger 
Bernard  Flick 
Leo  Glienke 


Henry  Baumgart 

We  should  be  glad  to  hear  from  any  other  group 
of  departments  having  such  a  record  as  this. 


PLANT  "NEWSIES" 

Of  course  you  have  noticed  the  new  bulletin 
cases  now  installed  over  each  drinking  fountfjin. 
These  additions  to  the  factory  may  well  be  termed 
"newsies."  They  will  convey  news  which  you 
should  know  about. 

Haven't  you  been  told,  or  perhaps  overheard, 
of  a  certain  feature  which  has  matured,  and  you 
have  exclaimed — "I  didn't  notice  it  on  the  bulletin 
board"  .^  There  lies  our  whole  .trouble.  The 
management  has  posted,  on  an  average,  eight  new 
notices  each  week,  all  vitally  concerning  you  and, 
in  the  main,  for  your  direct  benefit. 

The  bulletin  service,  installment  and  up-keep 
cost  the  company  a  large  sum  of  money.  Won't 
you  do  your  share  by  reading  the  posters.*  Don't 
excuse  vourself  bv  saving,  "I  didn't  know  a 
thing  about  it."  'watch  THE  LITTLE 
NEWSIES — and  be  up-to-date! 


SLRPRISE! 

It  is  proverbial  that  the  fellows  in  the  Detail  and 
Estimate  Department  excel  in  picnics  and  social 
gatherings,  but  the  affair  on  February  4th  "took 
the  biscuit."  William  Zimmer,  the  genial  head  of 
the  Department,  had  an  agreeable  surprise  on  his 
birthday.  The  boys  arrived  in  an  auto  almost 
loaded  down  to  the  springs  with  "grub,"  and  hidden 
behind  the  eats  were  two  bottles  which  did  not 
contain  pop.  "Bill  "  is  an  ardent  Oriental — I.  O.O.F., 
and  several  Turkish  Viziers  were  included  in  the 
bunch,  among  whom  were  "Hal"  Baldwin  and  his 
famous  banjo. 

After  the  excitement  of  arrival  had  subsided, 
everyone  enjoyed  a  goodly  spread — not  forgetting 
the  contents  of  the  aforesaid  bottles.  The  arrange- 
ment committee,  consisting  of  Harry  Goddard, 
Oscar  Thorpe  and  William  Seuffert,  had  a  splendid 
plan  whereby  the  gang  not  only  provided  the  food 
and  ate  it,  but  also  served  it,  and  cleaned  the  dishes. 
Slips  were  drawn  to  assign  the  household  duties  to 
different  boys,  and  Guy  St.  Pierre — the  famous 
trickster  with  playing  cards — drew  the  chief  func- 
tion of  the  aftermath  of  feasting,  that  of  washing 
the  dishes. 

Sam  Polakoff,  on  behalf  of  the  boys,  presented  Mr. 
Zimmer  with  a  gold  Eversharp  pencil,  as  a  mark  of 
appreciation  for  his  good  fellowship. 

After  a  regular  programme  of  singing  and  story 
telling,  the  party  broke  up  around  midnight. 


HANGING  UP  A  RECORD 

Thirty  years  of  unbroken  service  and  still  going 
strong!  That  is  the  record  of  \'incent  Zick,  foreman 
in  the  Leather  Case  Department.  Vincent  was 
born  in  Germany,  and  came  to  this  country  when 
he  was  a  young  man.  Most  of  us  have  a  hazy 
idea  as  to  what  things  might  have  looked  like  in 
the  camera  business  thirty  years  ago,  but  "Pop" 
Zick  knoiis.  and  the  progress  in  industry  is  truly 
remarkable.  In  the  days  of  1882  Vincent  was  a 
leather  cutter  for  the  firm  of  Lighthouse — famous 
harness  makers — and  nine  years  afterwards  he 
was  working  for  Mr.  Brownell  on  Furnace  Street. 
It  was  not  long  before  the  business  was  moved  to 
333  State  Street.  Vincent  was  made  a  foreman 
and  has  been   one  ever  since. 


VINCENT  ZICK 

Several  of  our  present  employees  were  working 
here  at  that  time:  "Phin"  Ingstrum,  "Bob" 
Kroedel,  "Gus"  Knight,  "Ed"  Chase,  and  a  few 
more  "young-old-timers,"  who  toiled  ten  hours 
daily,  all  of  them  helping  to  make  the  splendid 
business  we  have  today. 

^'incent  Zick  has  the  remarkable  record  of  perfect 
attendance  for  a-  quarter  of  a  century!  He  is  still 
hale  and  hearty  and  is  good  for  many  years  to  come. 
Congratulations  and  long  life  to  you! 


CAMEKO  ACTIVITIES 

^Members  of  the  Cameko  Club  and  friends 
enjoyed  a  very  pleasant  evening  at  Maplewood 
Inn,  East  Avenue,  Thursday,  February  3rd.  The 
occasion  was  the  first  anniversarv  of  the  formation 
of  the  Club. 

A  delicious  chicken  dinner  was  served,  during 
which  a  program  of  stunts  was  run  off,  displaying 
a  wide  range  of  talent. 

Ralph  C.  Welch.  President  of  the  Club,  officiated 
as  Toastmaster.  Dancing  followed,  music  being 
furnished  by  "Smiling  Elmer  Humes  "  and  his 
snappy  orchestra.

FLORENCE  WATERSTRAAT 

Florence  holds  the  honor  of  having  the  highest 
average  in  the  Ko-Da-Kam  Bowling  League,  to 
date,  I'io.     Good  work! 


William  Eisenberg  of  the  Carpenter  Shop  has 
our  sincere  sympathy  on  the  death  of  his  year-old 
baby  girl.  "Will"  has  just  returned  to  work  after 
being  absent  for  four  weeks  on  account  of  sickness, 
and  his  recent  loss  was  a  sad   blow. 


"Bob"  Attridge  has  a  new  "Lizzy"  and  has 
challenged  "Dave"  Olsan  to  bring  along  his 
"Lightning  Bug"  for  a  five-mile  race.  The  boys 
are  [backing  "Dave"  to  win  because  his  car  has 
been  freshly  painted. 


Elizabeth  Froelicher  of  the  Vest  Pocket  Assem- 
bling Department,  and  Chelastein  Geiser  of  the 
Cable  Release  Department  are  leaving  vis  to  be 
married.     We  wish  them  both  every  happiness. 


Jennie  Ginegaw  left  us  to  be  married,  after 
several  years  of  faithful  .service  both  at  Camera 
Works  and  at  Premo.  We  offer  oiu-  good  wishes 
and  trust  her  future  will  be  full  of  happiness. 


W^OOD  ASSEMBLERS  BO^^X 

The  Wood  Assembling  Department  had  a  Bowling 
Party  on  Januarj-  loth,  and  evidently  had  a  high 
old  time.  "Billy"  Sinden  demonstrated  a  new 
ball.  The  boys  suggested  that  it  might  be  called 
a  "high-ball"  if  it  had  sufficient  kick  behind  it. 
Aaron  Beeley  had  quite  a  string  of  high  scores, 
and  Frank  Webster  bowled  178,  which  made  him 
king-pin  of  the  event. 


Charles  Houck  of  the  Inspection  Department 
recently  entertained  a  number  of  his  friends  from 
the  Camera  Works,  on  the  occasion  of  his  birthday. 
The  date  of  the  supper  was  also  the  twenty-fifth 
anniversary  of  his  wedding.  The  evening  was 
I)leasantly  spent  with  music  and  other  entertain- 
ment. Mr.  and  ^Irs.  Houck  were  the  recipients 
of  a  number  of  gifts,  including  a  cut  glass  bowl 
from  their  Camera  Works  friends. 


Burdett  Edgett  of  the  Inspection  Department 
has  been  on  the  sick  list  for  some  time,  and  his 
friends  are  anxious  to  see  him  back  on  the  job 
again.  

Anthony  Xicoletti  of  the  Etched  Plate  Depart- 
ment is  the  proud  father  of  an  eight-pound  boy. 


"Al"  Gehrs  of  the  Tool  room  has  been  going 
to  Pittsburgh  regularly  every  six  weeks.  The 
fellows  working  with  him  are  getting  worried 
about  the  cause,  and  fear  there  is  a  woman  in  the 
case.  

What  do  you  think  we  omitted  in  our  last  edition 
of  the  Kodak  Magazine?  We  forgot  to  mention 
Lucy  Diesel,  imder  the  caption  of  "Bowling  News." 
Possibly  it  was  because  Lucy  is  so  popular  that  we 
considered  it  hardly  necessary  to  mention  her. 
Lucy  is  as  interested  in  bowling  as  she  is  in  every 
other  Camera  Works  activity,  and.  even  if  her 
score  is  not  the  highest,  her  enthusiasm  beats  all 
records.  

Carl  Seabrook  of  the  Engineering  Department  is 
the  happy  father  of  a  baby  boy. 


The  champion  bowler  of  the  Camera  Girls' 
League  is  Florence Koehnlein,  whose  average  to  date 
is  118.     Keep  it  up.  Florence  I

"YOU'D  BE  SURPRISED"  GIRLS  HOLD  FIRST  ANNUAL  BANQUET 


If  theRecreation  Cluh  decides 
to  distribute  trophies  for  "In- 
door Sports"  this  winter,  it  is 
ourBrni  conviction  that  tlie girls 
from  the  office  bearing  the  above 
title,  will  be  awarded  a  first 
prize.  Few  events  have  caused 
more  excitement  among  the 
girls  on  the  seventh  level  than 
did  this  first  banquet  for  the 
bunch. 

At  the  close  of  the  day's  work, 
the  aspect  of  the  office  seemed 
to  change  immediately  from 
one  of  business  to  that  of  a 
Parisian  Beauty  Parlor.  Never 
was  there  such  a  flashing  of 
mirrors  and  of  mysterious  small 
boxes  containing  what  rude  men 
term  "camouflage."  Then  came 
the  Grand  March  to  Powers 
Hotel,  led  by  theToastmistress, 
Dorothy  Goldstein. 


Of  course,  all  banquets  are 
supposed  to  be  the  best,  but, 
according  to  reports,  this  one 
really  iras.  The  cold  busi- 
ness feeling  of  the  office  be- 
gan to  melt,  when  the  first 
course  was  served,  and  from 
then  on,  joy  was  supreme. 

Followed  an  entertain- 
ment which  evidently  sur- 
passed any  show  staged  in 
Rochester  or  elsewhere.  A 
program  including  such 
stars  as  Mary  Fennel.  Gene 
Klink,  Margaret  Gilbert 
and  Betty  Yeager  must  give 
you  some  idea  of  the  quality 
of  the  acts.  The  audience 
was  delighted  with  the  per- 
formance,  and  the  only 
comment  on  this  lianquet 
is  the  wish  to  duplicate  it 
next  year, .  It  would  be  im- 
possible  to  have  one  better. 


S0:ME  PARTY 


The  one  dark  spot  connected  with  the  Recreation 
Club's  "doin's"  is  the  disappointment  of  those 
members  who  did  not  attend  the  entertainment 
for  the  girls,  or  the  smoker  for  the  men.  The 
assembly  hall  at  Exposition  Park  was  rented  on 
Monday  and  Tuesday.  February  7  and  8,  and  all 
members  of  the  Club  were  invited  to  share  in  the 
fun. 

The  frolic  which  took  place  on  Monday  is  some- 
what akin  to  the  proverbial  "dark  horse."  The 
actual  events  are  shrouded  in  mystery,  at  least 
as  far  as  the  mere  man  is  concerned,  for  the  party 
was  absolutely  for  girls  only  and  there  isn't  a  wTitten 
record  of  the  program  in  existence.  True,  George 
Whitcomb  was  there  with  his  excellent  orchestra; 
so.  al.so,  was  Charlie  Houck,  "the  refreshment 
king,"  but  George  and  his  aggregation  are  bound 
to  eternal  secre  y,  and  Charles  was  dispensing  the 
drinks  in  tlie  lobby  of  the  hall. 

This  much  we  know.  More  than  three  hundred 
girls  attended,  and  at  least  two  hundred  were  in 
costume.  It  must  have  been  quite  a  task  for  the 
judges,  who  were  ^Irs.  Thompson  of  Kodak  Park, 


and  Mrs.Hitt.  Miss  Hondorf  and  Miss O'Hara  of  the 
Camera  Works.  The  prize  for  the  prettiest  costume 
was  awarded  to  Wilma  Wild,  whose  conception  of  a 
fairy  was  greatly  admired.  The  prize  for  the 
funniest  costume  was  won  by  Eva  Smith,  while 
Caroline  Beaver's  idea  of  a  scrub-woman  gained 
her  the  prize  for  the  most  original  make-up. 

It  is  difficult  to  feature  any  one  particular  item 
in  a  party  where  everything  proved  so  successful. 
The  fruit  punch  was  voted  the  last  word  in  soft 
drinks,  and  the  music  was  tiptop.  The  girls  put 
away  almost  thirty  gallons  of  ice  cream,  a  whole  sack 
of  peanuts,  and  goodness  knows  what  else!  The 
entertainment  was  full  of  variety,  and  by  all  ac- 
coimts,  very  "peppy."  Among  the  acts  was  a 
playlet,  staged  by  Edith  Waterstraat,  and  a  glimpse 
of  New  York  life  by  Blanch  Wing  and  Marie 
Kubitz  entitled  "Broadway  Rose."  Clara  Acker.son 
acted  as  a  soubrette  in  "Chili  Bean."  Thanks 
are  due  to  Florence  Weaver.  Edith  Partridge, 
Blanch  Wing  and  Margaret  Murphy  for  arranging 
the  details  of  an  affair  which  will  long  be  remem- 
bered as  a  regular  girls'  party. 


CAMERAS  ANT)  FILM  AT  INDUSTRIAL 
REL.VnONS  DEPARTMENT 

An  important  addition  to  the  service  for  em-

"JAKE"  MEYER  REPORTS 
GOOD  FISHING 

"Jake"  Meyer  (popularly  known  as  "King- 
Fisher"),  of  the  Woodworking  department,  demon- 
strated his  skill  at  fishing  through  the  ice.  The 
cold  bleak  waters  of  Irondequoit  Bay  are  depleted 
to  the  extent  of  forty-two  perch  which  "Jake" 
landed  within  a  few  hours.  Possibly,  because 
he  is  a  member  of  the  Irondequoit  Fish  and  Game 
Society,  he  understands  fish  language,  which  might 
accoimt  for  his  exceptionally  good  luck.  "Jake" 
will  meet  all  comers  in  any  sort  of  angling  contest.

GARDENERS— READ  THIS  IMPORTANT  DECISION! 


Now  is  the  Time  to  Decide 
"The  great  factor  in  success  is  looking  ahead." 
AVe  recall  writing  this  as  an  exercise  in  our  school 
copy-books,  and  it  certainly  works  out  in  everything 
we  undertake.  Now  is  the  time  to  decide  what  we 
are  going  to  do  in  the  garden!  Anotlier  month  will 
see  us  busy  with  our  spades  and  forks,  anxious  to  get 
whatever  seeds  we  are  going  to  plant,  in  the  ground. 

How  to  Start 
Last  year  some  of  our  boys  failed  because  they 
had  no  definite  plan  to  follow.  A  good  way  is  to 
draw  your  garden  plot  on  paper,  and  arrange  where, 
and  when,  you  are  going  to  set  your  seeds.  Figure 
out  how  you  can  have  two,  or  even  three  crops,  from 
the  same  plot  of  land.  By  doing  this,  and  consulting 
your  gardening  books,  you  can  have  an  abundance 
of  varied  vegetables  during  the  summer  and  autumn, 
and  still  grow  your  main  crops  for  winter  storage. 

Who  are  Members? 
If  you  are  a  member  of  the  Recreation  Club,  you 
are  automatically  a  memljer  of  the  Camera  Works 
Gardening  Association.  No  extra  dues  will  be  col- 
lected for  this  group.  However,  membership  blanks 
will  be  handed  to  each  foreman,  so  that  the  Secre- 
tary may  know  the  active  gardeners.  You  will  also 
be  asked  which  vegetables  you  will  enter  in  our 
exhibition.  This  may  appear  to  be  looking  too  far 
ahead,  but.  if  vou  decide  to  show  "such  and  such  a 


vegetable,"  the  chances  are  a  hundred  to  one  you 
will  strive  to  grow  the  best,  and  therefore  will 
exhibit  it. 

Entry  Fee 
The  fee  for  exhibition  will  be  ten  cents  for  each 
entry.  The  money  collected  from  fees,  together 
with  an  appropriation  from  the  budget  of  the  Recre- 
ation (.'lub,  will  be  spent  for  prizes.  In  this  way,  the 
more  vegetables  you  enter,  the  greater  will  be  the 
amount  of  prize  money. 

Seeds  and  Tools 
As  in  previous  years,  seeds  and  tools  will  be 
purchased  for  you  at  wholesale  prices.  Seed  lists 
are  now  being  prepared  and  will  l)e  handed  to  you, 
or  they  may  be  obtained  from  the  Secretary.  When 
the  order  is  ready  for  delivery,  notices  will  be  posted 
in  the  bulletin  cases,  and  you  will  get  your  goods  at 
5:15,  following  the  same  procedure  as  planned  in 
our  candy  sale. 

Meetings 
Meetings  of  the  gardeners  will  be  called  as  occa- 
sion arises.  These  you  are  urged  to  attend.  It  is 
only  by  getting  together  and  discussing  plans  and 
problems  that  success  can  be  assured.  The  Garden- 
ing Association,  in  previous  years,  has  been  the 
means  of  saving  hundreds  of  dollars  for  those 
participating.  Work  with  us,  and  get  your  share 
of  the  profits. 


FOREMEN'S  DINNER 


January  27th  was  a  red-letter  day  in  the  history 
of  foremen's  gatherings  at  the  Camera  Works.  A 
supper  was  served,  and  invitations  were  extended 
to  the  foremen  of  the  company's  divnsions  in 
Rochester.  Four  hundred  and  twenty-five  men  sat 
down  to  an  excellent  meal — catered  in  Miss  Crarer's 
usual  top-notch  style — and  Shields'  Colored  Orches- 
tra supplied  the  latest  novelties  in  jazz  music. 

After  supper,  we  had  the  privilege  of  hearing  Mr. 
Ralph  G.  Wells,  who,  as  President  of  the  Industrial 
Relations  Association  of  America,  was  well  able  to 
give  us  his  ideas  concerning  "The  Present  Industrial 
Depression  and  its  Relationship  to  Production." 
Mr.  Wells  clearly  explained  that  the  inflated  prices 
existing  during  war  times  were  being  adjusted  to 
normal  standards,  through  tiie  channels  of  de- 
creased consumption,  which,  of  course,  caused  the 
let-up  in  production  and  the  subsequent  manu- 
facturing depression.  "The  struggle  for  supremacy 
in  the  markets  of  the  world" — Mr.  Wells  pointed 


BATTLE  IN  THE  MILLING  DEPARTMENT 

A  bowling  match  was  rolled  on  the  Genesee  alleys 
between  the  pin  enthusiasts  of  the  Milling  depart- 
ment. The  married  men  proved  that  they  could 
roll  the  ball  with  a  truer  eye  than  those  youths 
who  scorn  matrimony.  Jack  Garliner  seemed  a 
favorite,  but  somehow  didn't  come  up  to  expecta- 
tions. Charles  Weihonig  bowled  the  highest  score — 
820.  The  total  .scores  of  the  four-men  teams  were: 
married  men,  3058;  single  men,  2798. 


out — "can  only  be  won  by  making  oiu*  product  the 
finest  of  its  kind  at  the  least  possible  cost." 

Before  the  next  speaker  was  introduced,  Charles 
F.  Rogers  sang  an  effective  solo  which  was  greatly 
appreciated.  George    Whitcomb    added    to  the 

success  with  his  ability  as  an  accompanist. 

Frank  O'Brien,  Chairman  of  the  Foremen's 
Group,  next  introduced  Captain  Milton  J.  State, 
who  is  a  government  lecturer  connected  with  the 
Bureau  of  Commercial  Economics,  Washington, 
D.  C.  The  lecture  was  entitled  "Trailing  the 
Hudson  Bay  Posts,"  and  was  illustrated  by 
motion  pictures  and  lantern  slides.  The  mag- 
nificient  scenery  of  the  Canadian  Rockies  was 
brought  "right  to  home,"  and  some  of  our  ardent 
fishermen  were  WTithing  in  jealousy  at  the  tre- 
mendous catches  of  fish  from  the  torrents  and  lakes 
of  the  mountains. 

The  supper  and  lecturers  were  voted  a  complete 
success  with  the  hope  that  a  similar  affair  would  be 
repeated  in  the  near  future. 


CHECKER  TOURNAMENT 

The  latest  addition  to  the  activities  of  the  Recrea- 
tion Club  is  a  checker  group  which  meets  each 
noon  in  the  Committee  room  in  Building  9.  Peter 
Petrin,  of  the  Tool  Room,  has  charge  of  the  Tourna- 
ment, so  the  cracker  barrel  in  the  village  store  is  not 
tlie  only  place  where  this  indoor  sport  is  enjoyed. 
About  fifty  men  are  endeavoring  to  find  out  who  is 
the  champion  checker  player,  and  M'e  hope  to 
challenge  other  factories  in  this  scientific  game.

RECREATION  CLUB  OFFERS 
CHALLENGE  CUP 

The  executive  officers  of  the  Recreation  Clul) 
have  voted  to  offer  a  trophy  for  the  best  display 
of  home-grown  vegetables  exhibited  at  the  Roch- 
ester Exposition  in  19'21  by  an  individual  gardening 
club  of  this  city. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Club  has  sent  letters  to 
this  effect  to  twelve  of  the  leading  factories  of 
Rochester.  The  only  restrictions  are  that  entries 
must  reach  the  Industrial  Relations  Department 
by  March  1st,  and  that  at  least  six  factories  must 
compete. 

Of  cour.se,  the  Camera  Works  Gardening  Asso- 
ciation will  enter  the  competition.  Any  factor\- 
gardening  club  is  eligible,  and  we  trust  that  the 
interest  displayed  during  the  war  period  will  be 
maintained.  The  Chamber  of  Commerce  is 
again  co-operating  with  gardening  clubs,  and 
literature  will  be  distributed  and  speakers  provided 
wherever  necessary. 

Our  Gardening  Association  has  been  fortunate 
enough  in  previous  years  always  to  gain  6rst  prize. 
This  year  we  expect  very  keen  competition.  We 
must  band  together  more  strongly  than  ever,  and 
with  each  gardener  doing  his  share,  we  can  again 
bring  home  the  trophy. 


FRANCES  WESTFIELD 

We  regret  to  announce  the  death  of  Frances 
Westfield,  who  passed  away  after  a  short  illness. 
Although  her  length  of  ser\-ice  with  the  company 
was  not  long,  Frances  had  become  a  well-known 
figure  in  the  office.  Her  many  friends  miss  her, 
and  extend  their  sympathy  to  her  family.

Norman  Robinson  doesn't  .seem  to  care  for  hard 
times.  He  now  has  another  mouth  to  feed,  for  his 
wife  presented  him  with  an  addition  to  his  family 
in  the  shape  of  a  baby  boy.  "Normie,"  as  you 
know,  is  Manager  of  the  Camera  Works  Indoor 
Baseball  League,  and  he  says  that  if  he  should  ever 
be  so  lucky  as  to  have  seven  more  lied  lick  the 
Brownie  team  hollow. 


We  regret  to  announce  the  deatli  of  Howard 
Falvay  of  the  Tool  Room,  who  passed  away  on 
February  13tli.  The  employees  of  the  department 
extend  their  sympathy  to  the  family.

Whether  William  Kapelke  of  the  Third  Level 
Tool  vault  is  a  member  of  a  Boy  Scout  troup  we 
do  not  know,  but  we  have  found  out  that  "Bill" 
thoroughly  believes  in  the  use  of  a  compass.  He 
somehow  got  lost  while  wandering  around  the  wilds 
of  Seneca  Park,  and,  making  use  of  his  pocket 
compass,  "Bill"  arrived  safely  back  to  civilization. 


We  thoroughly  enjoyed  a  visit  from  Jack  Billings, 
formerly  in  charge  of  the  Wood  Assembling  depart- 
ment. Jack  has  deserted  wood-assembling  for 
wood-growing,  having  purchased  a  fruit-and-grain 
farm  in  Hannibal.  We  are  always  glad  to  see  our 
old  friends  and  can  assure  them  they  are  not 
forgotten. 


We  are  very  glad  to  welcome  John  W.  Heaphy, 
Superintendent  of  the  ^letal  Finishing  Dei)artment, 
who,  fortunately,  has  recovered  from  what  might 
have  been  a  very  serious  automobile  accident.  Mr. 
Heaphy  is  a  very  popular  man  in  the  Cainera  Works 
personnel,  and  we  all  missed  him.

LITTLE  ELIZABETH  CARLIN 

Sister  of  Frances  Carlin,  Covering  Department 


We  missed  tlie  regular  contributions  for  the  Maga- 
zine from  the  Office,  and  were  sorry  to  learn  the 
reason  why.  "Billy"  Lawrence  has  been  sick  for 
some  days,  and  we  miss  him  greatly.  He  is  one  of 
those  congenial  chaps  that  seems  to  spread  sunshine 
and  we  hope  he  will  soon  be  with  us  again. 


James  Wright  of  the  Office,  is  aspiring  to  be  the 
checker  champion  of  the  seventh  floor.  He  may  be 
good  at  checkers,  but  we  doubt  his  ability  to  pick 
the  winners  in  the  Kodakam  Bowling  League.  The 
candy  stores  have  a  good  customer  in  "Jimmie." 


Our  manager,  familiarly  known  as  "J.  A.  R.,"  is 
taking  a  well-deserved  vacation  down  South.  We 
miss  him  and  trust  he  will  return  more  hale  and 
hearty  than  ever  he  was  before. 

We  see  that  Louis  Bowllan  is  on  the  job  again, 
having  recovered  from  his  nervous  exhaustion.  He 
now  looks  fit  to  meet  Jack  Dempsey. 


A  little  bird  has  whispered  in  "ye  scribe's"  ear 
that  Irving  Duel  of  the  Stock  Record  office  is 
engaged  to  Lillian  Dentinger.  Congratulations, 
"Duey."  

William  H.  French  of  the  second  floor  vault  was 
married  recently.     Best  wishes,  "Bill"! 


Charles  Gerew,  who  has  worked  in  the  Stock  Record 
Department  for  some  time,  has  left  us  to  take  a 
position  with  T.  J.  Craig,  Superintendent  of  the 
Repair  Department,  Kodak  Office.  Our  best  wishes 
are  extended  to  "Charlie,"  and  we  predict  success 
for  him  in  his  new  venture. 


The  Editor  happened  to  see  a  newspaper  styled 
the  Port  Perry  Star,  published  in  Canada,  and  was 
gratified  to  notice  a  prominent  item  regarding 
our  friend,  Charles  Houck,  of  the  Inspection  Depart- 
ment. The  article  pointed  out  that  Charles,  who 
previously  lived  in  the  Canadian  town,  had  been 
featured  in  the  Kodak  Magazine  as  having  the 
remarkable  record  of  twenty-five  years  punctuality. 

We  are  not  only  pleased  to  know  that  Charles 
is  a  favorite  in  Port  Perry,  but  also  that  the  Kodak- 
Magazine  reaches  the  notice  of  newspaper  men,  and 
is  accepted  as  an  authority. 


A  GAME  WORTH  WHILE 

Tiiere  is  so  much  to  see  and  do  these  busy  days 
tliat  it  is  hard  to  find  time  for  extra  sessions,  but 
here  is  one  that  you  want  to  make  a  note  of.  Did 
yoi\  ever  jimip  on  a  street  car  on  a  Wednesday 
evening  and  go  to  Building  Five  at  Exposition 
Park? 

There  is  an  eight-team  league  of  jolly  fellows 
engaged  in  playing  Indoor  Baseball.  You  know 
most  of  them,  and  of  course  you  are  acquainted 
with  "Xorraie"  Rol)inson,  the  manager,  and  the 
two  umpires,  "Chuck"  Irwin  and  Harry  Murphy. 

This  league  has  proved  itself  to  be  one  of  the 
most  harmonious  and  successful  features  of  our 
plant  athletics.  Good  sportsmanship  and  clean 
play  are  the  salient  points  of  success  in  any  club, 
and  the  indoor  ball  players  live  up  to  this  ideal. 

The  standing  of  the  teams,  to  date  of  writing,  is:

The  Buffing  and  Nickeling  Department  wishes  to 
extend  sympathy  to  "Dave"  O'Conner  on  the 
sudden  death  of  his  wife. 


Charles  Klauck  of  the  Shaping  Department 
spends  his  leisure  hours  developing  high  grade 
chickens,  and  he  claims  he  is  having  wonderful 
success.  Whatever  method  he  employs  to  persuade 
his  hens  to  lay  three  eggs  in  two  days,  is  a  secret 
to  date.  Charles  has  promised  to  publish  the 
idea,  so  that  everyone  may  enjoy  the  result  of  his 
fertile  brain. 


CONGRATULATIONS,  DENNIS! 


How  does  this  happy  pair  of  kidlets  catch  your 
eye.^ 

We  could  very  easily  run  a  baby  show  in  this 
plant.  The  only  trouble  would  be  to  choose  the 
winners. 

These  two  children  are  Patricia  and  Grace 
O'Brien,  whose  proud  father,  Dennis,  works  in 
the  Buffing  Room. 


KODAK  PARK  GIRLS  ALONE  KEEP  RECORD  UNSMIRCHED 

EASTMAN  BASKETEERS  ^^^N  23  OF  36  GAMES  IX  MONTH 


DURING  the  month  from  January 
16th  to  February  KHh  the  Kodak 
basketball  teams  kept  up  their  winning 
stride,  the  grand  record  for  all  the 
quintettes  in  the  organization  showing 
23  games  won  and  13  lost.  The  Kodak 
Park  girls  alone  continue  to  meet  and 
beat  all  comers.  Since  the  last  issue  of  the 
magazine  they  have  taken  the  measure  of 
four  of  the  strongest  girls'  teams  in 
Western  New  York.  The  percentage 
record  of  games  won  and  lost  for  all  of 
the  ten  teams,  including  games  played  up 
to  February  ITtli,  is  as  follows:

The  toughest  battle  for  the  Kodak  Park 
girls  during  the  past  month  was  their 
struggle  in  the  return  game  at  Silver 
Springs.  This  contest  they  finally  man- 
aged to  annex  by  a  7  to  5  score.  The 
games  with  the  much-touted  North  Rose 
and  Shredded  Wlieat  las.ses  proved. ea.sy 
for  the  Ridge  Road  clan. 

The  Kodak  Park  men,  during  this  same 
period,  have  faced  the  strongest  kind  of 


opposition,  recording  victories  over  the 
All-Collegiates,  the  Geneva  Eagles  and 
Buffalo  Lincolns.  Two  defeats  were  met, 
one  at  the  hands  of  the  Geneva  Eagles, 
and  the  other  in  the  first  game  of  the 
series  with  "Johnnie"  Murphy's  Centrals. 

The  month  saw  two  victories  and  one 
defeat  charged  to  the  Kodak  Office  men's 
record.  The  State  Streeters  failed  to  hold 
an  early  lead  against  the  All-Collegiates, 
but  walked  away  with  Camera  Works, 
and  nosed  out  the  R.  B.  I.  in  a  bitter 
battle. 

The  Kodak  Office  girls  won  from 
Camera  Works  and  lost  to  LeRoy  and 
Pittsford. 

Hawk-Eye  stock  has  taken  a  big  jump 
during  the  past  four  weeks.  The  Hawk- 
Eye  girls  have  been  particularly  bu.sy, 
playing  seven  games,  all  but  one  of  which 
were  chalked  up  on  the  right  side  of  the 
ledger.  The  Hawk-Eye  men's  record  is 
three  to  two. 

The  Premo  girls  made  a  clean  sweep  in 
their  three  games  during  the  last  month. 
Particularly  creditable  is  their  ten  to  five 
victory  over  the  strong  ReHector  girls. 
Ransom's  lasses  look  about  as  good  as  any 
in  this  section,  and  their  two  defeats  at 
the  hands  of  the  Kodak  Park  .squad  are 
certainly  no  disgrace. 

The  Camera  Works  record  shows  the 
result  of  a  delayed  start  and  the  lack  of 
early  practice.  'Mack"  Robertson's  crew, 
however,  has  some  excellent  material  and 
is  bound  to  improve  its  record  as  the 
season  progresses.

The  liigh  lights  of  the  future  schedule.s 
inckide,  of  course,  the  Industrial  Cham- 
pionship Series  between  Kodak  Park  and 
Bausch  &  Lomb.    Another  event  awaited 


with  much  eagerness  by  the  court  fans  of 
the  city  was  the  March  3rd  game  between 
Kodak  Park  girls  and  the  world's  champi- 
ons, the  Clark-Munie  girls  of  Cleveland.

Time— March.  24,  1921. 

Place — Broadway  Auditorium,  Buffalo,  New  York.

A  glance  at  the  opposite  page  will 
show  you  the  stalwart  Knights  of  the 
Alley  who  are  to  uphold  the  Kodak  honor 
at  Buffalo  on  March  '^i-tth.  These  boys 
have  a  team  average  of  191  for  the 
season  in  the  Camera  Bowling  League, 
including  games  rolled  up  to  and  including 
February  19th.  They  should  have  little 
trouble  finishing  "in  the  money." 

Watch  the  bulletin  boards  on  March 
25th  for  the  returns!  Scores  will  be 
sent  by  special  wire  to  the  Kodak 
Magazine. 


The  City  Indoor  Baseball  League  is 
making  another  good  record,  due  in  no 
small  part  to  the  efforts  of  the  three 
Kodak  teams  in  its  list  of  members. 
Hawk-Eye  is  a  strong  contender,  while 
there  are  two  Camera  Works  teams  in  the 
League,  the  regular  Camera  Works  team, 
and  the  Camekos.  Any  one  of  the  three 
teams  still  has  a  good  chance  for  the  title. 

The  Camera  Works  Indoor  League  is 
also  going  strong,  and  the  Toolmakers 
will  have  a  job  cut  out  to  hold  the  trophy 
they  won  last  year. 


Pin  boys  on  the  uptown  alleys  have  the 
belief  that  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company 
manufactures  nothing  but  knock-'em-all- 
down-with-one-ball  bowlers.  And  they 
have  good  reason  to  think  so.

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


PARK  PIN-PICKERS  WRECK  RECORDS 


THE  Camera  League  records  for  the 
19'-20-'-21  .season  were  ''humpty-dump- 
tied"  with  a  vengeance  by  the  onslaught 
of  Kodak  Park's  invincible  wrecking-crew 
on  Saturday,  February  I'^th.  The  League 
Champions  apparently  bore  in  mind  the 
fact  that  it  was  Lincoln's  Birthday,  and 
celebrated  by  hanging  uj>  new  records  for 
the  season  in  every  event.  Howard 
Beuckman,  veteran  of  many  a  bitterly- 
fought  bowling  match,  contributed  ten 
straight  strikes  and  a  spare  for  a  '■286 
score,  which  is  high  individual  game. 
The  best  single  game  that  Harold  Servise 
could  get  was  '268,  but  Servise  showed 
more  consistent  pinning  than  his  team- 
mate and  collected  a  score  of  715  for  the 
three  games,  establishing  another  record. 
This  mark  is  just  twenty  pins  under  the 


record  set  last  year  by  Mura  of  the  Premo 
clan.  Here's  hoping  he  can  show  the 
same  rare  form  at  Buffalo  this  month. 

With  such  alley- work  the  League  Cham- 
pions had  little  difficulty  in  pocketing': 
three  games  from  the  Kodak  Office  five, 
thereby  practically  clinching  the  cham- 
pionship for  this  season.  They  started 
off  with  1086  for  a  five-man  total  and 
boosted  this  figure  in  the  second  game  to 
1113,  which  establishes  another  league 
record  and  is  incidentally  just  seven  pins 
under  the  city  record  for  the  winter  to 
date,  hung  uj)  by  the  K.  of  C.  team  in  the 
Rochester  league.  The  Parkers'  three- 
game  total  of  3099  is  also  a  season  record 
in  the  Camera  League,  and  it  looks  good 
to  remain  so  unless  the  Ridge  Road  out- 
fit can  push  the  figure  still  higher.

THE  BOYS  AND  GIRLS  SAFETY  ESSAY  COMPETITION 

THE  PRIZE  WINNERS  AND  THE  FIRST  PRIZE  ESSAY 


OXC'E  upon  a  time  a  little  boy  was 
asked  by  his  teacher  to  write  a 
composition  on  sugar,  and  he  wrote: 
'"Sugar  is  what  makes  things  taste  bad 
when  you  don't  put  it  in." 

When  we  invited  the  Kodak  boys  and 
girls  to  write  an  essay  on  "Safety,"  we 
knew  that  we  would  receive  some  mighty 
good  efforts,  and  we  were  not  disap- 
pointed, even  though  we  did  not  receive 
any  quite  as  startling  as  the  one  above 
quoted. 

The  First  Prize,  Five  Dollars,  was 
awarded  to  Harriett  M.  Roupp,  age  12 
years,  the  daughter  of  D.  G.  Roupp, 
of  the  Roll  Coating  Department,  Kodak 
Park. 

The  Second  Prize,  Tliree  Dollars,  was 
won  by  James  Wishart,  age  14  years. 

The  following  competitors  were  award- 
ed a  fine  safety  game  board,  which  will 
not  only  afford  many  pleasant  hours  of 
amusement,  but  will  also  help  them  to 
remember  "Safety  First":  Marion 
Schlosser,  Mildred  La  Belle,  Henry 
Wuensch,  Harold  Wheeler,  Ruth  Ack- 
royd,  Edna  Webster,  Hazel  Harper, 
Dorothy  Litolff,  Margaret  Eldridge,  Amy 
(iorwaiz,  Delores  Gutmann  and  Mary 
Spencer. 

Here  is  the  essay  winning  First  Prize: 
SAFETY 

Reading  father's  Kodak  Magazine  of 
January  made  me  think  about  safety. 
It  is  one  of  the  greatest  things  we  should 
think  about  at  all  times.  Safety  should 
be  the  watchword. 

Mother  has  always  taught  me  to  be 
careful  of  myself  and  others,  not  to  throw 
dangerous  things  in  the  path  of  others 


and  to  remove  anything  that  might  injure 
them.  Take  time  to  pick  up  tacks,  pins, 
matches  and  other  things  that  might 
injure  little  brothers  or  sisters,  and 
never  to  use  oil  around  fire  or  wipe  the 
stove  with  an  oil  rag. 

X'ever  empty  ashes  while  there  are 
live  coals  in  the  ash  pan,  as  the  ash-barrel 
might  catch  fire  and  burn  our  home  and 
other  houses.  Also  watch  out  for  gas 
jets  burning  near  a  window,  as  a  breeze 
may  blow  the  curtain  over  the  flame 
and  cause  a  fire.  In  taking  children 
out  for  a  ride,  never  run  as  we  might 
upset  the  carriage  and  cripple  the  child 
for  life. 

More  people  are  killed  by  carelessness 
and  thoughtlessness  than  in  any  other 
way.  Remember,  "He  who  takes  chances 
usually  takes  one  too  many."  A  mo- 
ment's neglect  may  cause  regret  for  a 
lifetime.  Be  watchful.  It  is  the  price 
of  safety,  but  it  pays  big  dividends. 

Mr.  John  D.  Sullivan  said  "that 
the  work  of  the  safety  school  was  already 
beginning  to  show  good  results."  The 
Eastman  Kodak  Company  has  reduced 
the  number  of  accidents  in  its  plant 
from  one  hundred  nine  per  thousand  to 
twenty  per  thousand  in  three  years. 
This  should  be  an  example  for  other 
plants. 

I  am  glad  to  have  my  father  work 
at  Eastman  Kodak  plant  and  hope  he 
is  doing  all  he  possibly  can  to  reduce 
accidents.  We  should  re-make  this  our 
slogan:  "Every  person  has  a  right  to 
live  his  life  in  perfect  safety.  An  ounce 
of  caution  is  better  than  a  pound  of 
char  it  v."

Rochester  should  congratulate  Com- 
missioner of  Public  Safety  R.  A.  Hamilton 
on  reducing  the  rate  of  accidents. 

Safety  First  means  Safety  all  the  time. 

Let  us  just  keep  in  mind  that, 

"Tramp,  tramp,  tramp,  we  are  marching. 
Checking  the  reckless  on  the  way, 
For  in  guarding  young  and  old. 
Saving  life  and  limbs  untold. 
We  shall  make  a  better  record  day 
by  day."

gratulate the  Kodak  fathers  and  mothers 
on  having  such  a  bright  lot  of  youngsters 
who  are  so  thoroughly  instilled  with 
the  spirit  of  "Safety  First."

KODAK  EMPLOYEES  ASSOCIATION 

REPORT  OF  MARCH  MEETING  OF  BOARD 


THE  regular  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  Kodak  Employees 
Association  (Incorporated)  was  held  on 
March  9,  19^21,  at  the  ISIain  Office  Build- 
ing. In  the  absence  of  the  President, 
Mr.  Eastman,  the  First  Vice-President, 
Mr.  Rogers,  presided.  All  the  rest  of 
the  Board  were  present  excej)t  Mr. 
Haste,  who  was  out  of  town.  ]Mr.  Haight, 
]Mr.  Gorham  and  Mr.  Turner  met  with 
the  Board. 

The  Secretary  rejiorted  real  estate 
loans  closed  since  the  last  meeting  of  the 
Board  aggregating  $3,910.00. 

Applications  for  mortgage  loans  aggre- 
gating $1,500.00  v.ere  approved. 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the 
month  of  February  was  read  to  the 
meeting  and  accepted. 

The  Association  decided  that  in  cases 
where  shares  of  the  company's  stock  or 
Managers'  Deposit  Certificates  for  tenths 
of  shares  had  been  issued  on  the  surrender 
of     Managers'     Certificates     issued     to 


employees,  and  the  holders  find  it 
necessary  to  sell  such  stock  or  Deposit 
Certificates,  to  arrange  so  that  the 
Kodak  Employees  Association  (Incor- 
porated) may  purchase  the  same,  paying 
the  holders  thereof  the  full  market  value 
therefor  at  the  time  of  purchase.  Mr. 
H.  D.  Haight,  Manager  of  Industrial 
Relations,  having  expressed  a  willingness 
to  look  after  this  for  both  parties,  the 
matter  was  placed  in  his  hands.  It  was 
suggested  that  he  discourage  as  far  as 
possible  the  holders  of  these  shares  or 
Deposit  Certificates  from  parting  with 
them,  but  in  cases  where  a  sale  was  really 
necessary  that  he  look  after  it.  The 
Treasurer  of  the  Association,  Mr.  J.  L. 
Gorham,  was  authorized  to  use  the 
Association's  funds  in  making  payment. 
It  is  only  in  cases  where  an  employee 
has  died,  or  become  totally  disabled,  or  a 
woman  em})loyee  has  married,  that  certif- 
icates for  stock,  or  Deposit  Certificates 
for  tenths  of  shares,  have  been  issued.

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 
A  HOME  FOR  THIRTY  THOUSAND 


ROOM  FOR  SIX  FREIGHT  CARS  AT  OXE  TIME 


IT  doesn't  make  any  difference  in  which 
plant  you  work,  when  you  are  escort- 
ing an  out-of-town  visitor  down  Lake 
Avenue  Boulevard,  you  just  sorta  swell 
up  with  pride  when  you  come  to  Kodak 
Park.  You  remark  in  a  careless  sort  of 
a  manner:  "That's  Kodak  Park,  one  of 
our  plants,  where  they  make  the  Motion 
Picture  Film,  you  know."  And  as  you 
roll  along  past  its  Boulevard  frontage,  you 
usually  hear,  if  your  visitor  is  of  the  male 
persuasion — "Gee  whiz!  what  a  whale  of 
a  plant!"  or  if  of  the  "more  deadly" 
species — "Gracious  goodness!  what  a  big 
place!" 

When  you  come  to  consider  that  none 
of  the  products  made  at  the  Park  are  of 
any  great  bulk,  and  that  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  dollars  worth  of  our  goods 
can  be  produced  in  a  small  space,  it  be- 


comes more  than  ever  a  whale  of  a  plant. 

Just  to  give  you  an  idea,  this  is  a  little 
story  about  our  new  building  for  the 
accommodation  of  the  Receiving  and 
General  Stores  Departments.  This  new 
building  (see  page  6)  is  five  stories  high, 
with  a  floor  area  of  five  and  one-half  acres 
(which  would  make  sotne  garden  to  look 
after).  Over  thirty  thousand  different 
articles  are  stored  in  this  building,  from 
chemicals  measured  by  the  ounce  to  build- 
ing material  by  the  carload. 

In  the  course  of  an  average  month,  140 
carloads  of  coal  (stored  elsewhere),  80 
carloads  of  building  material,  and  'ilS 
carloads  of  raw  material  for  manufacturing 
purposes,  are  received,  weighing  approxi- 
mately 1.5,.S00  tons. 

In  building  material,  two  and  one-half 
million  feet  of  lumber  alone  was  used  for 


THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


construction  purposes  at  Kodak  Park 
during  the  last  twelve  months.  Handling 
supplies  in  such  quantities  as  these  de- 
mands more  than  ordinary  facilities,  and 
the  building  is  equipped  with  the  latest 
devices  for  the  handling  of  heavy  or  bulky 
material  easily  and  speedily. 

The  illustration  on  page  5  shows  the 
train  shed  of  the  building;  this  shed  will 
accommodate  a  train  of  six  cars,  and  ma- 
terial can  be  unloaded  at  any  time,  regard- 
less of  weather  conditions.  The  shed  is 
equipped  with  three  steel  shutter  doors 
14  feet  wide  and  '■25}2  feet  high;  these 
doors  are  electrically  operated.  For  trans- 
porting material  through  the  building, 
electric  tractors  with  trailers  are  used. 

When  you  come  to  the  elevators,  you 
might  think  that  you  had  been  trans- 
ported to  the  land  of  giants;  they  are 
surely  "whoppers."  They  have  to  be 
extra  large  to  accommodate  both  tractors 
and  trailers;  two  are  twelve  by  twenty 
feet  and  can  handle  a  load  of  15,000 
pounds.     There  are  two  additional  eleva- 


tors eight  by  twelve  feet,  able  to  handle 
6,000  pounds  each.  Four  trips  of  one  of 
the  big  fellows  will  unload  the  contents  of 
a  freight  car.  To  help  out  the  tractors 
and  trailers,  hand  transveyors  are  used 
with  which  one  man  can  easily  handle  a 
ton — so  you  don't  very  often  hear,  "Oh, 
Bill!  come  and  give  us  a  lift." 

Getting  the  goods  out  of  the  building 
is  a  lot  easier;  two  chutes  run  from  the 
fifth  to  the  first  floor,  so  any  package  not 
exceeding  4^  feet  wide  and  6  feet  long, 
and  weighing  not  over  eight  hundred 
pounds  is  placed  in  one  of  the  chutes  and 
away  it  glides  to  the  first  floor. 

Lots  of  windows,  and  big  ones  too, 
mean  no  dark  corners — plenty  of  light 
everywhere — a  big  help  in  locating  and 
handling  supplies. 

About  one  hundred  people  are  em- 
ployed in  this  building,  which  includes 
quite  a  large  office  force  to  handle  detail 
work  naturally  connected  with  the  hand- 
ling of  so  many  in-coming  and  out-going 
shipments. 


FAR  FIELDS 


IT  is  very  seldom  that  an  enterprise 
of  merit  has  to  go  far  from  home  to 
obtain  the  money  necessary  to  make  a 
go  of  it;  if  it  has  true  worth,  local  capital 
is  only  too  eager  to  invest  and  participate 
in  its  building,  growth  and  profits. 

So  w^e  can  usually  look  askance,  or 
with  a  very  conservative  and  cautious  eye 
upon  the  future  promises  of  stock  selling 
concerns  located  at  distant  points. 

The  great  majority  of  these  would-be 
enterprises  are  stock  selling  schemes  only, 
whose  plans  rarely  reach  the  production 
stage,  and  whose  only  j)rofits  are  confined 
to  the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  stock  to 
the  credulous — and  these  "profits"  are 
necessarily  confined  to  the  promoters. 

The  Federal  Trade  Commission  re- 
cently conducted  an  investigation  into 
the  sale  of  stock  of  a  widely  exploited 
motor  corporation.  It  found  that  the 
stock  was  sold  to  some  54,000  persons, 
from  whom  the  promoters  received  the 


aggregate  sum  of  $4,723,811,  and  that 
nearly  $1, '200,000  was  paid  to  salesmen 
in  commissions.  Over  $650,000  was 
retained  by  the  boss  promoter  for  his 
services  as  fiscal  agent,  and  over  $500,000 
went  for  advertising  the  sale  of  the  stock 
and  other  expenses,  so  that  nearly  one-half 
of  the  receipts  were  absorbed  in  getting 
the  money. 

There  is  no  record  of  this  concern 
having  actually  marketed  its  product, 
or  that  it  ever  really  intended  doing  so. 

Grass  in  far  fields  looks  greenest:  do 
not  be  tempted  by  oft'ers  of  extraordinary 
profits  in  projects  where  you  can  obtain 
no  information  other  than  that  contained 
in  the  promoter's  advertising,  or  from  a 
voluble  salesman. 

Not  all  foreign  promotion  plans  are 
bad,  but  don't  invest  your  money  without 
a  thorough  investigation;  our  legal 
department  can,  and  is  willing  to,  give 
vou  sound  advice. 


THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


MT.  SHASTA  AT  SUNRISE 

AN  AMUSING  EXPERIENCE  (TO  US,  AXYHOWj  OF  "DOC"  HASKELL 
OF  THE  ADVERTISING  DEPARTMENT 


THOSE  of  you  who  liaA'e  travelled  the 
picturesque  roads  leading  in  and  out 
of  Rochester,  must  have  noticed  the  signs, 
"Picture  Ahead!  Kodak  as  You  Go," 
located  at  all  strategic  points. 

The  advertising  department  plans  to 
have  the  country  pretty  well  covered  with 
these  signs  in  course  of  time.  The  actual 
work  of  placing  these  signs  is  in  charge  of 
Warren  B.  ("Doc")  Haskell,  who  is  now 
touring  part  of  California  with  a  small 
but  energetic  truck  "Doc's"  experiences 
en  route,  humorous  and  otherwise,  would 
fill  a  book,  and  he  is  confident  that  he 
could  secure  a  good  contract  in  "big  time" 
vaudeville  or  on  the  Chautauqua  circuit 
by  relating  them. 

That  his  life  on  the  open  road  is  not  all 
carefree,  is  evidenced  by  a  recent  letter. 

"We  had  posted  two  signs  and  after  driving 
about  a  mile  on  a  muddy  road,  we  overtook  the 
gentleman  who  shared  the  freight  car  with  us. 
He  was  stuck  in  a  rut  and  we  couldn't  pass  him. 
We  helped  him  jack  up  his  car  and  put  blocks 
under,  then  filled  the  ruts  with  Ijoards  which  we 
ripped  off  the  fence.  He  then  pulled  out,  went 
about  a  hundred  feet  and  got  stuck  again.  This 
time  he  was  stuck  fast.  He  went  to  a  ranch  house 
about  a  mile  away  and  returned  with  a  shovel  and 
team  of  horses.  At  about  seven  o'clock  we 
started  him  again  and  this  time  he  made  about 
500  yards.  The  rear  housing  was  so  low  that  it 
was  dragging,  and  his  rear  wheels  would  just  spin 
when  he  applied  the  power.  Three  more  times  he 
was  stuck  inside  of  .50  yards.  We  worked  right 
through  with  him,  filled  the  ruts  with  fence  boards 
for  about  200  feet  back  of  his  car,  and  at  10.30 
p.  m.,  sent  the  truck  along.  After  passing  about 
20  feet  ahead  of  his  car,  our  truck  slipped  into  a 
shallow  ditch  and  we  irere  stuck.  The  ranchman 
said  he  couldn't  stay  with  us  any  longer  as  he  had 
fifteen  cows  to  milk,  and  a  sick  wife  and  five  chil- 
dren to  look  after.  The  other  man  had  his  wife 
and  a  nine  months  old  baby  with  him.  The 
ranchman  said  he  could  provide  one  spare  bed  for 
the  man  and  his  wife  and  baby,  and  we  could 
sleep  in  the  hay  in  his  barn. 

"I  didn't  think  itwisetoleave  the  truck, asthere 
are  too  many  tramps  on  the  road  in  this  section, 
who  would  strip  a  car  of  spare  tires  or  anything 
they  could  pry  loose;  so  Hodgson  and  I  decided  to 
camp  by  the  truck  for  the  night. 

"The  ranchman  went  to  his  barn,  returned  with 
a  sled  and  team  of  horses  and  hauled  the  family 
through  the  mud  to  his  house.  Hodgson  and  I 
built  a  fire  and  took  turns  in  sleeping  and  watching 
the  fire.     We  used  the  seat  from  the  truck  to  lie 


on,  and  the  man  with  the  other  car  loaned  us  a 
blanket:  so  we  got  along  very  well  for  sleeping,  but 
were  awfully  hungry.  Worst  of  all,  our  supply  of 
smokes  was  soon  exhausted. 

"We  were  in  sight  of  Mt.  Shasta  and  could  have 
enjoyed  the  beautiful  sunrise  under  more  agreeable 
conditions. 

"When  daylight  came,  we  unloaded  the  truck, 
shovelled  the  mud  away  from  the  wheels  and  got 
everything  in  readiness  to  block  it  up  and  hook 
the  team  on  to  haul  it  out. 

"We  were  nearly  exhausted  and  had  started  to 
walk  to  the  ranchman's  house  to  see  if  we  could  get 
a  cup  of  coffee,  when  he  called  us  to  breakfast. 
The  fare  was  very  simple,  lint  to  us  it  was  a  feast. 
Well,  we  finally  got  the  truck  out  of  the  mud  onto 
hard  road,  and  then  lielped  the  other  man  to 
drive  out. 

"The  ranchman  then  loaded  the  signs  on  his 
sled,  hauled  them  to  the  truck,  and  we  started  on 
our  way  after  replacing  the  load.  If  it  hadn't  been 
for  the  other  car  getting  stuck,  I  believe  we  would 
have  gone  along  all  right  with  our  much-maligned 
flivver. 

"While  we  were  still  within  sight  of  the  same 
mud  hole,  two  other  cars  got  stuck,  but  we  kept 
right  on  going  as  we  had  been  in  that  vicinity 
longer  than  we  cared  to. 

"The  experience  taught  me  to  keep  a  lunch  of 
some  sort  on  the  truck  in  case  of  an  emergency, 
and  it  may  be  well  to  carry  a  blanket  or  two.  And 
hereafter,  you  will  always  find  a  good  supply  of 
smokes  and  matches  on  this  truck." 


THIRD   QUARTERLY  AMATEUR    PHOTO-

CLOSING    DATE   APRIL   THIRTIETH 

The  Third  Quarterly  Competition 
promises  a  hot  finish.  Kodak  Park 
claims  a  "cinch"  on  first  place  again, 
but  Premo,  Main  Office,  and  Camera

"He  who  laughs  last,  laughs  best." 

Hawk-Eye  and  Folmer-Century  are 
maintaining  the  well-known  "dignified 
silence,"  but  the  homes  of  the  Anastigmat 
and  the  Graflex  without  doubt  have  some 
pretty  expert  amateur  picture  makers; 
so,  so  far  it  is  anybody's  race.

GETTING  BACK  TO  NORMAL 

HOW  STRAIGHT  THIXKINT,  AND  ACTING  WILL  HASTKX  IT 


THERE  has  been  but  little  change 
in  general  business  conditions  in 
the  last  month,  but  there  is  a  promise 
of  a  slow  and  gradual  return  to  normal 
conditions. 

One  thing  holding  back  the  return  of 
what  we  call  "good  times"  is  the  refusal 
of  many  persons  to  intelligently  study 
cause  and  effect,  and  then  to  do  their 
part  in  bringing  about  this  return. 

When  we  suffer  an  individual  loss, 
we  know  we  have  to  make  up  that  loss 
to  get  back  to  where  we  stood  before — 
and  what  is  true  of  the  individual  is  true 
of  the  many. 

The  billions  of  dollars  that  vanished 
during  the  war  will  have  to  be  made  up, 
and  the  economic  laws  governing  this 
can  no  more  be  changed  than  can  the 
fact  tliat  two  and  two  make  four. 

Balanced  Industry  Essential 

Keep  this  in  mind  as  a  basic  truth; 
the  secret  of  prosperity  is  in  balanced 
industry,  with  the  production  of  every 
branch  of  industry  in  proportion  to  the 
wants  and  buying  power  of  the  people 
in  all  the  other  occupations. 

Now,  that  being  the  case,  it  follows 
that  the  number  of  people  who  can  be 
employed  in  any  industry  depends  upon 
the  amount  of  the  products  that  can  be 
sold,  and  that  depends  upon  the  price 
which  the  consumers  have  to  pay  for 
them. 

If  the  price  of  any  article  is  increased, 
the  consumers  will  have  to  cut  down  on 
their  purchases  of  it,  or  of  something 
else. 

With  every  product  made  to  sell, 
there  is  a  point  where  if  the  price  be 
lowered,  the  additional  sales  will  not 
compensate  for  the  sacrifice,  and  if 
the  price  is  raised  the  decrease  in  sales 
will  exceed  the  gain  in  price.  This  being 
so,  you  can  at  once  see  the  folly  of  any 
individual,  or  group  of  individuals,  in 
thinking  that  he,  or  they,  have  it  in  their 
power  to  arbitrarily  fix  wages  and  prices 


for  themselves.  Even  if  they  could, 
they  could  not  escape  the  effect  of  their 
action  upon  employment  and  upon  sales. 

To  quote  from  a  recent  bank  report : 
"Something  has  happened  that  has 
affected  the  buying  power  of  millions  of 
people,  and  other  millions  are  trying  to 
ignore  it  and  think  they  can  go  on  selling 
their  own  goods  and  services  at  the  same 
rates  as  before. 

"Wage  earners  stand  for  the  mainte- 
nance of  wage  scales,  and  as  the  public 
is  unable  to  buy  goods  made  upon  that 
level  of  costs,  mills  close  down  or  run  on 
half  time,  with  a  great  loss  of  wages 
without  corresponding  reduction  in  the 
price  of  the  product  to  consumers,  most 
of  which  are  wage  earners." 

Must  Return  to  Xormalcy 

To  get  back  to  normalcy  is  the  earnest 
desire  of  every  one  of  us,  and  to  get 
there  we  must  understand  and  act  with 
a  full  understanding  of  conditions  and 
remedies. 

For  this  reason,  we  are  giving  you  the 
facts,  knowing  that  you  will  appreciate 
our  action,  and  also  with  the  hope  that 
you  will  pass  them  on  to  fellow  wage- 
earners  you  may  know  so  that  we  may 
all  act  intelligently  and  together  for  the 
common  good. 


AVOID  FIXES 

All  holders  of  installment  shares  in  the 
Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Association, 
who  are  behind  in  payments  on  their 
shares,  are  subject  to  a  fine  of  1^  per 
month  (5  shares,  5  cents  per  month;  10 
shares,  10  cents  j)er  month,  etc.)  for  such 
defaulted  j)ayments. 

If  on  account  of  absence  or  other  rea-

There  are  a  good  many  persons  who 
shudder  or  shrug  their  shoulders  wlien- 
ever  the  word  "Thrift"  is  mentioned;  this 
is  because  they  have  a  wrong  idea  of  the 
meaning  of  the  word. 

Thriftiness  does  not  mean  becoming  a 
"tightwad"  or  enduring  a  lower  stand- 
ard of  living — quite  the  contrary. 

Thrift  does  not  mean  the  mere  hoarding 
of  money;  it  consists  in  the  spending  of 
money,  but  for  things  of  permaneni  value; 
for  tilings  which  will  add  to  your  comfort 
and  welfare,  or,  to  put  it  in  other  words, 
for  those  tilings  which  will  improve  your 
standard  of  living. 

Professor  Carver,  of  Harvard  Uni- 
versity, in  a  recent  widely  quoted  article 
says,  "Thrift  does  not  consist  in  refusing 
to  spend  money  or  to  buy  things.  It  con- 
sists, under  a  money  economy,  in  spend- 
ing money  and  buying  things,  but  in 
.spending  money  for  things  of  a  different 
kind  from  that  which  thriftlessness  buys. 

"Thrift  buys  things  with  a  relatively 
vi\'id  appreciation  of  the  future;  thrift- 
lessness   buys    things   with   a    relatively 


dull  or  weak  appreciation  of  the  future. 

"Thrift  regards  future  need  as  compar- 
able in  importance  with  present  desires; 
thriftlessness  regards  present  desires  as 
of  greater  importance  than  future  needs. 

"Thrift  very  generally,  though  not  ex- 
clusively, consists  in  investing  money, 
that  is,  in  buying  income-bearing  goods, 
'such  as  savings  and  loan  shares,  bonds 
or  insurance  policies.' 

"As  a  matter  of  observation,  thrifty 
communities  (and  thrifty  individuals — 
Editor)  spend  more  money  in  the  long 
run  than  thriftless  communities,  for  the 
sufficient  reason  that  they  have  more 
money  to  spend." 


^Ye  are  all  of  us  accustomed  to  the 
sound  of  the  fire  department  and  ambu- 
lance gongs,  but  fortunately  for  most  of 
us,  the  sound  indicates  trouble  for  some- 
one else  instead  of  ourselves. 

In  spite  of  this,  statistics  show  an  ap- 
palling loss  of  life  and  property  due  to 
fires  and  accidents,  most  of  which  were 
occasioned  by  carelessness. 

Just  think  of  it;  the  weekly,  not  monthly 
or  annual,  estimated  fire  loss  in  the 
United  States  is  fourteen  million  dollars. 

In  each  of  these  fifty-two  periods,  fires 
occur  in  1,600  dwellings,  3  theatres,  3 
public  buildings,  1*2  churches,  10  schools, 
2  hospitals,  150  apartment  buildings,  26 
hotels,  2  college  buildings,  3  department 
stores,  2  asylums,  2  jails  and  20  factories. 

During  the  year  1919,  sixteen  thousand 
persons  were  burned  to  death  and  eight- 
een thousand  seriously  injured.  Of  those 
burned  to  death,  eighty-tw^o  per  cent,  were 
mothers,  and  children  under  school  age. 
Ninety -two  per  cent,  of  these  fires  were 
the  result  of  carelessness. 

The  Safety-First  man  has  a  real  mis- 
sion. 

You  will  be  interested  in  reading  the 
prize  winning  essay  in  our  Kodak  Boys 
and  Girls  Safety-First  Competition  (see 
page  3. 

We  have  been  highly  successful  in  acci- 
dent prevention  in  our  organization. 
Let's  keep  up  the  good  w^ork.

EASTMAN  SAVINGS  AND  LOAN  ASSOCIATION 

POINTERS   FOR  EMPLOYEES   PLANNING 
TO  PrRCIL\SE  A  HOME 


WITHOUT  stopping  to  think,  you 
might  consider  the  conducting  of  the 
affairs  of  the  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan 
Assoc  ation  a  simple  matter.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  there  is  an  ahnost  endless  amount 
of  detail  connected  with  the  work  in  order 
to  produce  the  greatest  amount  of  good 
for  its  members,  and  to  safeguard  the 
funds  entrusted  to  it. 

Naturally  many  questions  are,  and  will 
continue  to  be,  asked  regarding  the  various 
affairs  of  the  Association  by  its  members; 
so  to  save  time  for  all  of  us,  we  tv411  try 
to  answer  some  of  them  here. 

The  Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Asso- 
ciation is  a  separate  and  distinct  organiza- 
tion, and  so  the  money  available  for  mak- 
ing first  mortgage  loans  must  come  from 
ts  own  funds.  Applications  for  loans  are 
coming  in  rapidly,  with  a  good  percent- 
age of  acceptances,  so  there  may  come  a 
time  when,  temporarily ,  there  will  be  no 
funds  available  for  loans,  and  so  your 
application,  even  if  acceptable,  might 
have  to  go  on  a  waiting  list. 

In  planning  for  the  purchase  of  a  home, 
the  wise  investor  will  most  carefully  con- 
sider the  amount  of  his  obligation  and  his 
financial  ability  to  see  it  through.  In  con- 
sidering this,  the  advice  and  counsel  of 
the  officers  of  the  Association  are  at  your 
disposal;  in  fact,  it  is  part  of  their  duty 
to  see  that  you  do  not  assume  an  oblig- 
tion  impossible,  or  extraordinarily  irk- 
some to  fulfil. 

In  most  cases,  it  is  safe  to  assume  that 
not  more  than  twenty-five  per  cent,  of 
your  income  is  available  for  rent  or  home 
purchasing;  you  must  have  a  certain 
leeway  to  provide  for  unexpected  con- 
tingencies such  as  illness  and  the  like. 

As  an  example,  let  us  assume  that  you 
wish  to  purchase  a  home  having  an  ap- 
praised value  of  $6,000.  Here  is  how  it 
would  work  out. 

Appraised  value  $6,000,  with  cash  pay- 
ment of  ten  per  cent.  $600,  would  leave 


$5,400.  Of  this,  a  first  mortgage  to  the 
Eastman  Savings  and  Loan  Association 
would  take  care  of  $4,200.  The  balance 
$1,200  to  be  covered  by  a  second 
mortgage  to  the  Kodak  Employees  Asso- 
ciation. The  sum  necessary  to  carry  this 
is  about  one  per  cent,  per  month,  so  we 
have  on  the  first  mortgage  $42.00,  on  the 
second  mortgage  $12.00,  taxes  and  in- 
surance approximately  $9.00,  totalling 
$63.00  per  month,  or  about  $14.00  per 
week.  You  must  also  consider  that  a 
certain  amount  should  be  available  for 
repairs. 

If,  however,  you  see  your  way  clear  to 
comfortably  meet  your  payments,  and 
have  tentatively  selected  your  home,  there 
are  still  a  few  precautions  to  be  observed. 

The  first  is,  be  careful  about  the  con- 
tract for  the  purchase  of  your  home,  as  it 
may  contain  seeds  of  future  mischief. 
Under  the  laws  of  this  state,  a  broker 
earns  his  commission  when  the  contract 
is  signed,  so  he  has  no  further  interest  in 
the  transaction,  and  is  under  no  obliga- 
tion to  further  protect  your  interests.  It 
will  be  much  better  to  luring  the  contract 
in  and  talk  it  over  with  some  officer  of  the 
Association  before  you  sign  it. 

Another  i)oint  to  consider  in  the  present 
scarcity  of  houses  is  this:  it  will  be  a  good 
idea  to  ])lan  on  taking  ])Ossession  of  your 
property  a  couple  of  months  later  than 
seems  probable;  there  may  be  a  tenant  in 
the  house,  and  if  he  cannot  find  a  house 
in  which  to  move,  a  tender-hearted  judge 
may  allow  him  a  month  or  so  in  wliicli  to 
look  around. 

Here  is  another  point.  If  you  own  the 
house  you  are  living  in,  and  plan  to  sell 
it  and  purchase  another  one,  after  sign- 
ing the  contract  to  sell,  do  not  turn  around 
and  sign  a  contract  to  purchase  another 
house,  unless  you  make  the  performance 
of  the  second  contract  on  your  part  de- 
pend absolutely  on  whether  the  proposed 
buyer  of  your  house  keeps  his  contract

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


with  you.  Otherwise,  you  may  find  that 
the  person  to  whom  you  were  planning  to 
sell  is  irresponsible,  and  that  the  one  from 
whom  you  have  contracted  to  purchase 
is  determined  to  force  you  to  keep  your 
promise  with  him  by  a  lawsuit. 

There  are  many  things  to  be  safe- 
guarded in  the  purchase  of  real  estate,  so 
you  should  not  expect  to  have  your  loan 
approved,  and  the  necessary  papers  re- 
corded immediately  after  the  receipt  of 


your  application  by  the  Association. 
First,  your  application  must  be  approved 
by  the  x\ssociation;  then,  if  approved,  the 
abstract  of  title  and  tax  searches  must  be 
Ijrought  down  to  date,  which  often  con- 
sumes a  week  or  more;  following  this, 
the  necessary  papers  must  be  draw  n  and 
signed,  and  the  title  examined.  Better 
plan  on  a  month  elapsing  between  the 
time  you  file  your  application,  and  the 
time  you  receive  the  proceeds  of  your  loan. 


SAFEGUARDING  TRANSPORTATION  COSTS 

THE  WORK  OF  OL'R  RATE  AND  TRAFFIC  SERVICE  DEPARTMENT 


t'TTUH!  pretty  soft  for  the  traffic  and 
XX  shipping  departments;  when  an 
order  for  goods  comes  in,  it  is  entered, 
passed  on  to  the  shipping  department 
which  puts  the  goods  in  a  box,  hands  it  to 
the  express  or  freight  man,  and  says 
'shoot.'  Or,  when  raw  materials  are  re- 
ceived, all  they  have  to  do  is  to  unpack 
the  goods,  check  the  invoice,  deliver  the 
goods  to  the  proper  department,  and  there 
you  are" — such  is  the  opinion  anyhow  of 
the  average  outsider. 

x\s  a  matter  of  fact,  there  are  continual 
changes  in  transportation  laws  and  rates; 
some  of  which  Avould  puzzle  a  couple  of 
Philadelphia  lawyers  to  interpret  properly. 

When  you  learn  that  the  various  articles 
and  raw"  material  purchased  by  us  embrace 
about  seventy-five  per  cent,  of  the  articles 
classified  in  the  railroad  classification,  you 
may  be  willing  to  admit  that  we  are  con- 
fronted with  some  problems  outside  of 
manufacturing  and  selling. 

In  order  to  get  our  goods  to  our  custom- 
ers, and  materials  purchased  by  us  where 
they  belong  in  the  shortest  period  of  time, 
and  at  the  lowest  figure,  we  have  estab- 
lished in  connection  with  our  traffic  de- 
partment a  rate  and  traffic  service  bureau. 

It  seems  almost  unnecessary  to  say 
that  the  chief  factors  of  our  economic 
life  are  production  and  distribution;  traffic 
service  is  concerned  with  effecting  both  by 
the  most  expeditious  means  and  at  the 
least  expense.  Every  dollar  lost  in  freight 
charges  or  through  other  traffic  problems 


either  comes  out  of  the  profits  or  is  added 
to  the  selling  price.  The  continual  changes 
in  transportation  laws  and  rates  make 
necessary  a  careful  rate  audit,  involving 
a  study  for  the  solving  of  numerous  com- 
plicated traffic  ciuestions.  We  pay  an 
immense  sum  annually  for  freight  charges, 
which  emphasizes  the  importance  of  this 
special  rate  audit. 

The  intricacies  surrounding  the  receiv- 
ing, assembling  and  distribution  of  goods 
are  so  numerous  and  varied  and  so  inter- 
woven with  legal  technicalities  and  obli- 
gations, that  it  is  clearly  beyond  the  scope 
of  the  uninitiated  to  deal  with  them.  The 
increasing  importance  of  adequate  trans- 
portation facilities,  the  intelligent  employ- 
ment of  those  available  for  use,  and  the 
common-sense  railway  regulations  are 
issues  vital  to  the  hour. 

This  department  serves  in  many  ways — 
in  addition  to  auditing  of  freight  bills 
covering  the  in  and  outbound  traffic  of  our 
company  and  its  various  divisions,  which 
results  in  the  saving  of  thousands  of  dol- 
lars, there  is  the  Freight  Rate  and  Classi- 
fication Analysis  and  Survey  in  seeking 
profitable  rate  adjustments — interpreta- 
tion and  digesting  of  Interstate  Commerce 
Laws  and  Rulings — quoting  of  rates  to  the 
Purchasing,  Sales,  Traffic  and  other 
departments. 

The  Rate  and  Traffic  Service  Depart- 
ment, maintaining  as  it  does,  one  of  the 
largest  tariff  files  of  any  industrial  traffic 
department,  is  rendering  a  valuable  service.

Shields  co-operate  with  you. 


BULLETIN  SUGGESTIONS 

IMPROVEMENT  CONTEST  EXTENDED  TO  APRIL  .SOth. 


AT  a  recent  good-sized  gathering  of 
^  factory  folks,  the  audience  was  asked 
"How  many  of  you  make  a  practice  of 
reading  what  is  on  your  bulletin  boards?" 
Practically  every  one  in  the  audience 
raised  their  hand.  With  this  much  in- 
terest, there  must  be  many  of  you  who 
have  suggestions  and  ideas  for  improving 
our  bulletin  service.  Quite  a  numl^er  have 
entered  our  Bulletin  Improvement  Con- 
test as  announced  in  the  March  issue,  but 
we  want  to  hear  from  many  more.  The 
awards  for  a  little  thought  and  effort  on 
your  part  are  well  worth  while;  twenty- 


five  dollars  for  the  best  constructive 
criticism  of  our  bulletin  service;  fifteen 
dollars  for  the  second  best ;  and  ten  dollars 
for  the  third  best  criticism.  We  will  also 
pay  two  dollars  for  every  original  slogan 
which  can  be  used  for  any  one  of  our 
various  bulletins;  and  ten  dollars  addi- 
tional for  the  best  slogan  submitted 
between  now  and  September  1st. 

Never  mind  if  you  are  not  a  finished 
T\Titer;  what  we  want  is  ideas.  Sit  down 
tonight  and  give  us  your  ideas;  the 
awards  are  worth  while. 


TO  MAKE  IT  PLAIN 


THE  article  on  "Selecting  Your  Phy- 
sician" in  the  March  issue  contained 
the  following  ])aragrapli: 

"Througli  reading  highly  colored  news- 
paper advertisements,  many  peoj)le  have 
been  led  to  believe  that  the  X-ray 
offers  the  only  thorough  means  for  find- 
ing out  anything  that  haj^pcns  to  be 
wrong  with  the  human  anatomy.  About 
one-third  of  the  very  poor  patients  at 
the  dispensary  of  the  Rochester  General 
Hospital   have  spent    almost    their  last 


cent  to  have  the  X-rays  'turned  on'." 

We  intended  to  convey  the  impression 
that  such  "examinations"  were  made 
before  the  patient  visited  the  General 
Hospital.  Of  course,  X-ray  examinations 
are  made  at  the  Rochester  General  Hos- 
pital, but  they  are  made  in  a  thoroughly 
scientific  manner,  when  the  attending 
j)hysician  deems  sucli  examination  neces- 
sary, and  at  a  nominal  cost  to  the  patient 
when  he  can  afford  it,  and  without  charge 
to  those  who  cannot.

K.  O.  R.  C.  ELECTION 

The  Kodak  Office  Recreation  Club  held  its  second 
annual  election  of  officers  on  Friday,  March  11th, 
and  the  following  officers  were  elected: 

President William  J.  German 

Vice-President Millard  B.  Hodgson 

Treasurer Charles  Howard 

Secretary Florence  A.  McAnaney 

Chairman,  General  Committee Ross  Robertson 

It  was  with  real  regret  that  the  delegates  finally 
accepted  George  Blair's  refusal  to  serve  for  a 
second  term.  He  has  been  a  very  able  president 
and  it  is  largely  due  to  his  efforts  that  the  Club 
lias  been  a  success.  Much  of  Mr.  Blair's  time  is 
spent  away  from  Rochester  and  he  cannot  give  the 
attention  necessary  to  the  position.  We  all  feel 
that  Mr.  Blair  has  given  most  generously  of  his 
time  during  the  last  year,  and  while  regretting 
his  inability  to  act  for  a  second  terra,  we  realize 
that  we  have  not  the  right  to  encroach  upon  his 
verv  limited  time  at  home. 


"Bill"  German,  the  incoming  president,  has 
made  a  splendid  record  as  Chairman  of  the  General 
Committee,  and  has  worked  in  close  harmony  and 
co-operation  with  Mr.  Blair.  The  Club  is  fortunate 
in  securing  such  an  able  successor. 

All  those  who  went  on  the  picnic  last  summer 
and  saw  Millard  Hodgson  in  the  capacity  of  Master 
of  Ceremonies,  know  that  we  are  getting  a  good  live 
Vice-President  and  an  excellent  booster  for  theClub. 

■'Charlie"  Howard  is  a  new  member  of  the  Ad- 
ministrative Board  of  the  K.  O.  R.  C,  but  every- 
body knows  that  when  "Charlie"  starts  a  thing  he 
finishes  it,  and  we  are  glad  to  trust  our  funds  to 
him. 

Florence  A.  McAnaney,  who  served  last  year 
as  Secretary,  has  already  proven  her  worth.  We 
are  fortunate  in  having  her  for  a  second  term. 

We  are  also  to  be  congratulated  in  having  Ross 
Robertson  as  Chairman  of  the  General  Committee. 
Ross  made  a  big  success  of  the  Bowling  League 
during  the  past  year  and  we  are  sure  that  he  will  be 
equally  valuable  to  the  Club. 


MEN'S  BASKETBALL  TEAM  TAKES  LAST  GAME 
AND  SERIES  FROM  R.  B.  I. 

LOSES  TO  CAMERA  WORKS  AND  AMERICAN  LAUNDRY  MACHINERY  COMPANY 


Kodak  Office  defeated  R.  B.  I.  in  a  very  close 
game.  Although  we  held  the  short  end  of  a  17 
to  15  score  at  the  end  of  the  first  half,  the  team 
stiffened  in  the  last  period,  winning  by  a  score  of 
30  to  21.  The  slippery  floor  slow^ed  up  what  might 
have  been  a  fast  game  and  pivoting  or  fast  follow- 
up  .shots  under  the  basket  were  practically  impos- 
sible.    "Toddy"  Diehl  led  the  scoring. 

The  Camera  Works  gave  the  Kodak  Office  team 
a  real  surprise  when  they  outplayed  our  boys  28 
to  16.  There  were  various  rumors  afloat — why  the 
K.  O.  R.  C.  team  lost  after  winning  the  previous 
game  by  a  score  of  41  to  13.  The  real  reason  was 
probably  over-confidence  on  the  part  of  our  boys 
and  a  vast  improvement  on  the  part  of  the  victors. 

Kodak  Office  lost  the  last  game  of  the  season  to 
American  Laundry  Machinery  by  a  1.5  to  20  score. 
The  game  was  played  at  the  Stratford  Roller  Rink 
and  was  fast  and  snappy  throughout.  The  main 
trouble  with  the  Office  team  seemed  to  be  that  the 
ball  wouldn't  go  through  the  hoop,  shot  after  shot 
rolling  around  the  rim  and  falling  off. 

The  K.  O.  R.  C.  girls'  basketball  team  played 
five  games  during  the  past  month,  winning  two, 
losing  two,  and  tieing  one  game: 


Kodak  Office 3 

Kodak  Office 10 

Kodak  Office 13 

Kodak  Office 8 

Kodak  Office 4 


Ritters 7 

Stromberg-Carlson  ...    1 

Camera  Works 4 

Stromberg-Carlson  ...  10 
Bastian  Brothers 4 


Ruth  Kimmel,  forward,  and  Margaret  Massing, 
center,  scored  the  majority  of  points  during  the 
season,  and  Clara  Efford  did  excellent  guarding. 

Florence  Murphy  starred  in  the  Camera  Works 
game,  scoring  three  baskets  from  the  field  for 
Kodak  Office.  Florence  is  not  a  regular  member 
of  the  team,  but  we  hope  to  have  her  support  next 
season. 

Helen  Gentry,  captain  of  the  team  at  the  opening 
of  the  season,  returned  from  out  of  town  and  played 
in  the  final  game  against  Bastian  Brothers. 

This  is  the  first  year  that  Kodak  Office  has  had 
its  own  basketball  teams  and  both  teams  have 
made  good  records  on  the  court.  With  the  present 
outlook,  basketball  will  be  one  of  the  major  activi- 
ties of  the  club  next  season. 


Dorothy  Atwood,  of  the  Billing  Department,  just 
recently  migrated  to  Batavia.  Although  Dorothy 
was  with  us  only  a  short  time,  she  became  very 
dear  to  all  of  us  and  we  shall  not  soon  forget  her.

They  have  not  only  replenished  their  own  pocket- 
books  and  made  their  services  more  valuable  to 


the  company,  but  they  have  improved  our  products 
and  increased  the  efficiency  of  the  Kodak  organi- 
zation. This  should  be  the  constant  endeavor  of 
every  Kodak  employee.  Everyone  has  an  equal 
chance  to  put  himself  into  his  work  and  to  make 
his  ser\-ices  more  valuable. 

This  group  consists  of  employees  from  eleven 
different  departments,  which  goes  to  .show  that 
good  ideas  come  to  everyone.  Our  aim  for  19'-21 
is  not  to  adopt  a  thousand  suggestions,  but  rather 
a  hundred  good  suggestions.  Just  one  thing 
more — the  "Big  Ideas"  present  themselves  at  the 
least  expected  moment,  so  keep  a  sharp  look-out 
for  them.

BOAST  XOT  TOO  SOOX,  KODAK  PARK! 

'"Kodak  Park  boasts  of  the  largest  industrial  branch  library 
in  Rochester." — Kodak-  Magazine,  March,  19-21. 

If  it's  the  library  championship  of  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company  which  is  at  stake,  Kodak  Office 
refuses  to  submit  tamely,  boasts  of  Kodak  Park  to 
the  contrary  notwithstanding. 

In  support  of  the  Kodak  Office  claim  to  the  title, 
the  following  figures  are  submitted: 

Xumber  of  Books  in  Library: 

Kodak  Park 450 

Kodak  Office 520 

Xumber  of  Books  Circulated: 

Kodak  Park 7,92U 

Kodak  Office 6,775 

Xumber  of  Readers  during  1920: 

Kodak  Park 586 

Kodak  Office 577 

Percentage  of  Employees  who  patronized  Library: 

Kodak  Park 8.9So 

Kodak  Office 46. 2% 

Another  point  to  be  considered  in  making  this 
comparison,  is  the  fact  that  the  Kodak  Office 
Library  is  open  only  three  days  a  week  while  Kodak 
Park  Library  is  open  every  day. 

On  the  basis  of  the  above  figures,  Kodak  Office 
suljmits  that  in  point  of  per  capita  interest,  and 
in  number  of  books,  it  has  Kodak  Park  far  out- 
classed, and  confidently  awaits  the  challenge  of 
anv  of  the  other  branches. 


WORD  FROM  JAMES  HUDLASS 
A  very  interesting  and  newsy  letter  was  received 
by  the  Welfare  Department  from  Mr.  Hudlass, 
who  is  now  living  on  his  orange  grove  at  Avon  Park, 
Florida.  He  enclosed  several  snapshots,  one  of 
which  was  very  interesting.  It  was  a  picture  of 
himself  in  the  shade  of  an  orange  tree  that  was 
loaded  with  fruit.  He  also  mentioned  that  at  the 
time  of  writing,  February  23rd,  Mrs.  Hudlass  was 
on  the  veranda  shelling  peas.  He  wished  to  be 
remembered  to  all  his  old  friends.

A  POW-WOW 

The  Indians  of  the  Pennanink  tribe  from  the 
twelfth  floor.  Main  Office,  held  their  annual  meeting 
recently.  The  ceremonials  were  interesting  in  the 
extreme.  After  the  braves  had  all  assembled  at  Fred 
Hafner's  wigwam,  the  consumption  of  the  sacrificial 
pig  was  the  first  order  of  business.  This  was  accom- 
plished after  the  ancient  manner  to  the  accom- 
paniment of  a  chorus  of  praise.  During  the 
feast  Musician  Fitzmorris  thumped  the  tom  tom 
and  Medicine  Man  "Ole  Doc-cook"  played  some 
of  the  weird  tribal  music  on  his  in\"isible  flute. 

After  the  service  the  warriors  organized  two 
squads  and  proceeded  to  knock  "em  stiff  on  the 
bowling  alleys.  Some  notable  scores  were  notched 
up,  but  unfortunately  the  records  are  not  available. 

Many  of  the  more  serious  minded  cut  the  bowling 
to  watch  the  side  shows.  The  little  galloping 
dominoes  put  on  a  great  performance,  which  was 
well  attended.  Many  also  watched  the  royalty. 
The  Kings  and  Queens  gave  a  satisfactory  exhibition 
and  smiled  with  particular  favor  on  Big  Chief 
Herm.  Bakker. 

Altogether,  in  the  words  of  Shakespeare,  "A 
good  time  was  had  by  all."  The  show  will  be 
repeated  next  year. 


SERVICE— WHILE  YOU  WAIT: 

"Bob"  Roberston,  of  the  Ser\nce  Department, 
says  that  Ilawk-Eye  should  be  awarded  the  wicker 
bath-tub  when  it  comes  to  real  service.  While 
dictating  one  day  he  called  Mr.  O'Neil,  of  Hawk- 
Eye,  on  the  'phone  and  asked  him  to  send  the 
manual  for  an  old  camera  to  us.  Before  he  finished 
dictating  the  manual  was  laid  on  his  desk.  Service! 
we'll  sav  so. 


The  Sales  Department  congratulates  Frank 
Esterheld,  whose  engagement  to  our  Anna  Lyons 
was    recentlv    annoimced. 


Fred  Rogers,  of  the  Sales  Department,  is  again 
on  the  road  in  the  interests  of  the  company. 

Yertrip  Flynn,  who  is  now  engaged  in  training 
for  her  chosen  vocation  at  Dr.  Lee's  Hospital, 
recently  paid  a  visit  to  the  Testing  and  Packing 
Department.  Nursing  has  been  Yertrip's  pet 
ambition  for  some  time  and  she  says  she  is  very 
happy.  The  best  wishes  of  the  Department  go 
with  her. 


The  death  of  Mrs.  Margaret  Kelley  came  as  a 
great  shock  to  those  of  us  in  the  Mail  and  Order 
Departments  who  knew  her.  We  all  extend  our 
love  and  s\Tnpathy  to  Adelaide. 


One  of  our  newcomers,  Alta  Eastman,  was 
obliged  to  leave  us  owing  to  the  serious  illness  of 
her  mother.  We  hope  to  hear  very  soon  of  Mrs. 
Eastman's  recovery  and  Alta's  subsequent  return 
to  the  Mail  Department.

SCHOOLMASTER  HOWARD 

Education  continues  I  Xot  many  of  us,  wlien 
we  said  goodbye  to  the  schools  of  grammar,  arith- 
metic, Latin  and  geometry,  thought  that  we  were 
going  to  school  again.  But  here  we  are  being 
"learned"  and  by  an  able  teacher,  too.  "Charlie" 
Howard  has  imdertaken  the  task  of  initiating 
several  groups  of  girls  into  the  mysteries  of  the 
show  room,  and  before  long,  under  his  guidance, 
we  who  thought  that  "Kodapods"  were  many-legged 
kodak-eating  insects,  and  "Reducers"  a  form  of 
apparatus  used  in  bringing  those  overly  endowed 
with  avoirdupois  to  more  desirable  dimensions, 
learned  the  error  of  our  ways.  AVith  the  aid  of 
this  instructor,  we  ought  soon  to  be  the  latest 
edition    of   the    "Walking    Kodak    Encyclopedia." 

"Don't  envy  us  a  working  knowledge  of  Kodak 
accessories — join  'Charlie's'  group  and  have  one!" 


Helen  Reily,  of  the  Repair  Department,  who 
has  been  absent  from  the  Office  for  the  last  ten 
weeks  on  account  of  a  nervous  breakdown,  has 
improved  to  such  an  extent  that  she  is  able  to  take 
up  her  duties  again.  We  are  very  glad  to  welcome 
her  back. 


Gladys  Eastmond,  of  the  Advertising  Depart- 
ment, is  away  on  a  leave  of  absence  for  her  health 
We  are  glad  to  have  a  report  that  her  condition  is 
greatly  improving,  and  we  expect  to  see  her  back 
with  us  before  long. 


Laurence  Daynard,  of  the  Billing  Department, 
who  has  been  away  on  a  leave  of  absence  since 
July  1,  1920,  has  just  returned  from  Loveland, 
Colorado.  We  all  expected  to  see  a  real  live 
cowboy  with  boots  and  spurs,  but  Laurence  appar- 
ently has  not  changed  a  bit  and  his  broad  smile 
is  still  in  evidence. 


The  Finishers  bowling  team  played  the  Taylor 
Instrument  girls  on  Friday  evening,  March  4th. 
and  both  games  were  won  bv  the  Finishers. 


On  February  12th  the  Visiting  Xurses  put  aside 
their  Fords  and  enjoyed  an  old-fashioned  sleigh  ride 
and  dinner  at  the  home  of  Ruth  Schelter,  in  honor 
of  Bertha  Mischler,  who  has  returned  after  a  six 
months'  leave  spent  in  Switzerland  with  her  parents. 
We  are  all  glad  to  have  her  back  with  us  and  there 
is  no  question  but  what  the  rest  has  done  her  good, 
which  vou  will  notice  when  vou  see  her.

Luella  Thompson,  Louise  Sidwell  and  Ethel 
Bauer,  of  the  Finishing  Department,  have  been 
ill  for  a  number  of  weeks.  We  hope  they  will  be 
back  with  us  soon.

DAVID  CARTER  MARRIES 

The  Testing  and  Packing  Department  reports 
a  wedding  and  David  Carter  is  the  happy  man. 
The  marriage  took  place  at  the  home  of  the  bride. 
Irene  Crane,  in  Lyons,  N.  Y.  .\  fireside  arm  chair 
was  presented  by  the  girls  of  the  department,  and  a 
dozen  beautiful  hand-cut  goblets  by  the  men. 


DAVID  CARTER 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Carter  have  returned  from  an 
Eastern  trip  and  have  begun  housekeeping  at  340 
Plymouth  Avenue.  We  were  agreeably  surprised, 
upon  their  return,  to  receive  a  visit  from  the  bride 
and  groom,  which  reveals  a  friendly  spirit  in  giving 
us  the  pleasurable  opportunity  of  meeting  "Dave's" 
other  half. 

ANOTHER  SLEIGH  RIDE 

The  girls  and  their  friends  from  the  Repair  and 
Service  Department  took  advantage  of  one  of  our 
few  snow  storms  by  having  a  sleigh-ride  party. 
Everything  went  fine  with  the  exception  of  having 
to  get  out  and  help  push  the  sleigh  over  a  couple 
of  bare  spots.  After  the  ride  they  were  entertained 
at  Grace  Schoenf elder "s  home  and  enjoyed  a  fine 
lunch.  They  desire  to  express  their  thanks  to 
Grace,  asserting  that  she  is  some  hostess. 

Among  the  other  notables  who  were  born  during 
the  month  of  February  are  Kitty  Gilgan,  Jennie 
Klein  and  Ceil  DeVaney,  of  the  Sales  Department, 
who  celebrated  their  birthdays  by  having  luncheon 
at  Odenbach's  and  spent  an  enjoyable  afternoon 
at  the  Temple  Theatre.  We  all  wish  we  could  have 
been  with  them. 

Marie  Harriman  has  returned  to  her  old  work — 
Public  Health  Nurse — in  which  we  wish  her  good 
luck.  During  her  short  stay  we  found  her  to  be  a

PREMO  GIRLS  TAKE  TWO  MORE  SCALPS 


Recently  a  picked  team  of  girls  from  the  Kodak 
Park  League,  took  a  beating  at  the  hands  of  the 
Premo  lassies,  our  entire  team  being  in  perfect 
form.  The  big  feature  of  the  evening  was  furnished 
by  Pauline  Schwartz  who  did  some  clever  guarding. 
She  also  found  time  to  elude  her  opponents  long 
enough  to  shoot  baskets  like  an  old  "vet."  Walzer 
and  Fagan  also  did  some  heavy  scoring.  The  final 
lallv  read,  Premo  3.5,  Kodak  Park  League  "2. 


Premo  girls  also  took  the  measure  of  the  Big 
Brother  Royals  at  the  Big  Brother  Court,  a  short 
time  ago. 

Olive  Fagan  was  tlie  sliining  liglit  in  this  game, 
dropping  in  three  field  goals.  Mary  Dafner  and 
Jennie  Walzer.  each  scored  once  from  the  floor, 
while  Bertha  Maier  shot  four  fouls.  The  clever 
guarding  of  Pauline  Schwartz  and  Dorthy  Stublie 
made  it  impossible  for  the  Royals  to  score  from  the 
field.     The  final  score  was  Premo  10.  Rovals  4. 


THE  RING-LEADERS 


Here  are  the  twenty-eight  men  who  founded  the 
Premo  Club  and  put  it  on  its  ]:)resent  firm  l)asis.  In 
1914,  these  men  organized  a  party  and  called  it  the 
Premo  Bowling  Club,  electing  three  men  as  captains. 
These  three  men  chose  their  teams  and  proceeded 
to  make  the  pins  fly  during  the  fall  of  1914.     Later 


they  decided  to  enlarge  the  Club's  activities  until 
now  we  have  71  per  cent,  of  all  the  Premo  Worker> 
as  members.  The  Club  meets  on  the  first,  third  and 
last  Friday  evening  of  each  fall  and  winter  month 
for  some  kind  of  entertainment.

is  ^Ir.  Klingler's  job  to  see  that  each  machine  is 
doing  its  work  according  to  the  gauge.  If  some- 
thing should  go  wTong  with  a  machine,  and  throw 
the  work  off  even  for  a  few  thousandths  of  a  inch, 
the  part  would  not  fit  when  it  reached  the  Assembly

the  Eastman  Kodak  Company  took  over  the  plant. 


ASSEMBLY  EMPLOYEES  HOLD  PARTY 

Those  who  happened  to  pass  371  Colvin  Street, 
the  home  of  Jack  May.  of  the  Assembly  Department, 
the  other  evening,  and  heard  all  the  noise  that  was 
going  on,  must  have  thought  that  an  eartluiuake 
had  struck  the  place.  Yes,  it  was  just  another 
gathering  of  the  Assembly  Room  eiui)loyces.  enjoy- 
ing themselves  at  a  little  card  party.  Marie 
Phillippsen  and  Pauline  Schwartz  sang  a  few  songs 
to  entertain.  Then  came  the  refreshnients.  All 
who  attended  this  little  affair  want  to  thank  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  May  for  the  enjoyable  evening. 


Because  of  the  Ix'nten  season,  no  activities  of  the 
Premo  Club  were  held  during  the  month  of  March. 
Put  a  circle  around  April  (ith,  13th  and  the  '27th, 
and  watch  the  bulletin  boards  for  announcements. 


"HOW  DID  THEY  DO  IT."' 

Several  of  the  girls  introduced  a  new  fad  on 
March  'i.jth.  They  refused  to  talk  to  any  one  from 
noon  imtil  3:00  p.  m.,  and  the  foremen  could  not 
understand  the  reason  for  so  much  silence  all  of  a 
sudden,  inasmuch  as  the  girls  are  in  the  habit  of 
being  quite  sociable.  But,  alas,  after  it  was  all 
over,  some  of  the  girls  could  not  keep  the  secret! 
We  found  out  that  if  a  person  did  not  talk  during 
these  hours  on  Good  Friday,  and  made  a  wish,  it 
would  come  true.  We  are  now  waiting  and  wonder- 
ing what  some  of  the  wishes  were. 


Our  essay  contest,  which  was  announced  in  the 
January  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine,  closed 
March  31st.  We  have  a  great  number  of  essays,  out 
of  which  the  judges  are  having  a  difficult  task  to 
select  the  three  best.  We  hope  to  be  able  to  publish 
the  names  of  the  winners,  with  their  essays,  in  the 
next  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine. 


CLARA  ROBERTS 

Out  of  the  township  of  Henrietta  comes  Clara 
Roberts,  one  of  our  one  hundred  per  cent,  girls. 
Clara  is  a  fine  example  of  the  good  influence  one 
girl  can  have  over  another.  Her  sister.  Emma, 
started  to  work  at  Premo  in  1909.  and  left  in 
August.  1919,  to  be  married.  Emma  liked  it  so  well, 
that  she  quickly  decided  that  Premo  would  be  a 
pretty  good  place  for  her  sister  to  work;  so  in  March. 
1910,  Clara  strolled  around  and  took  a  glimpse  of 
tlie  place.  A  few  days  later,  she  began  working  in 
the  Focusing  Department  as  inspector. 


CL.VRA  ROBERTS 

Miss  Roberts  has  been  with  us  over  eleven  years, 
has  never  worked  any  other  place,  and  never  wants 
to.  Her  work  experience  in  the  factory  has  been 
varied,  as  she  has  done  all  kinds  of  light  bench 
assembling  and  stock  keeping.

OUR  WOMEN  NOW  STUDYING  SAFETY 


V^ery  few  accidents  happen  to  our  women  workers. 
This,  of  course,  is  largely  due  to  the  fact  that  their 
work  is  not  of  a  hazardous  nature.  One  of  our  girls, 
Jennie  Walzer  of  the  Assembly  Department,  tells 
us  in  her  own  words,  what  one  can  accomplish  by 
studying  and  reading  about  safety.  Here  it  is, 
"What  Safety  Means  To  Me." 

"During  the  past  three  months  I  have  been 
studying  and  reading  about  safety,  and  find  by 
so  doing,  I  have  saved  myself  injuries  and  cau- 
tioned others  against  doing  something  that  might 
have  caused  them  a  serious  accident.  To  me 
safety  means  one  of  the  greatest  things  that  one 


could  take  up.  One  of  my  personal  experiences 
on  our  safety  school  that  meets  in  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  every  Friday  night,  was  that  we  were 
taught  artificial  respiration  by  an  experienced 
Doctor  in  the  Army.  Recently,  in  one  of  our 
basketball  games,  one  of  the  girls  lost  conscious- 
ness, caused  by  a  hard  bump  on  the  back  of  the 
head.  One  of  our  safety  pupils  used  artificial 
respiration  and  the  girl  was  able  to  continue  in 
the  game. 

"Safety  has  made  me  careful  not  only  with 
myself,  but  also  to  see  that  others  are  practicing 
the  same  thing."

"BABE"  CAHILL  ON  STAGE 

A  number  of  the  employees  spent  a  very  enjoyable 
afternoon  at  the  Family  Theatre  a  short  time  ago, 
when  they  went  to  see  "An  Elixir  of  Love,"  in  which 
"Babe"  Cahill  of  the  Assembly  Department  is 
taking  part.  They  report  that  Miss  Cahill  is  becom- 
ing a  good  actress.  After  the  matinee,  they 
journeyed  to  Kenealy's  Restaurant  where  limcheon 
was  served. 


Friday  evening,  March  4th,  the  home  of  Lillian 
David  was  the  scene  of  a  very  brilliant  gathering  of 
the  employees  of  the  Cost  Department  and  their 
friends,  the  occasion  being  the  celebration  of  Lil- 
lian's birthday.  The  party  was  a  big  success  with 
much  merriment  and  good  humor  prevailing. 


John  Roach  of  the  Press  Department,  who  met 
with  an  accident  several  weeks  ago,  is  getting  along 
nicely,  and  expects  to  be  back  with  us  in  a  short 
time. 


Bertha  McDowell  of  the  Covering  Department, 
who  has  been  absent  the  past  two  weeks  on  account 
of  a  severe  cut  in  her  hand,  has  returned  to  work. 
We're  glad  to  see  you  again.  Bertha. 

Marjorie  Totten  of  the  Assembly  Department, 
surprised  her  friends  in  the  shop,  by  announcing 
thnt  she  was  married  February  19th.  The  lucky 
fellow  is  Ivan  Kenyon  of  Chenango  Forks,  N.  Y. 
Friends  at  the  Premo  wish  them  the  best  of  luck. 


W^e  surely  are  glad  to  see  Mrs.  Eva  Thorn  of  the

Thorn  has  been  laid  up  for  the  past  six  months  on 
account  of  illness,  but  is  looking  much  better  now, 
and  savs  she  feels  fine.

FOREMEN  ENJOY  FUN  NIGHT  AT  THE  "Y" 

DR.  WILLIAM  WALLACE  ROSE  SPEAKS  AT  MARCH  MEETING 


Saturday,  February  19th,  was  the  "big  night"  at 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  for  the  Kodak  Park  Foremen's 
Chib. 

As  the  members  entered  the  building,  they  were 
greeted  with  the  "warm  hand"  by  the  reception 
committee.  Cigars  and  matches  were  also  furnished 
each  member,  which  convinced  them  that  they  were 
attending  a  real  "blow-out." 

The  entire  building  was  turned  over  to  the  mem- 
bers of  the  club  from  six  to  eleven  p.m. 

First  honors  in  the  aquatic  event  were  carried  off 
by  George  Kline,  with  the  exception  of  the  sub- 
merging contest,  this  being  won  by  "Bill"  Zimmerli, 
who  took  on  so  much  water,  that  he  was  unable  to 
do  justice  to  the  lunch  which  followed.  Mass  games 
were  also  enjoyed  under  the  direction  of  Mr. 
Metzdorf,  Physical  Director  of  the  Y.  M.  C  A. 

The  Committee  in  charge  to  whom  we  express  an 


unanimous  vote  of  thanks  was  composed  of  J.  A. 
Hart,  Chairman;  William  Doane,  William  Zimmerli 
James  Jenkinson,  A.  L.  MacFarland,  J.  S.  Harmon 
and  E.  F.  Goodridge. 

The  regular  monthly  dinner  and  meeting  was 
held  on  Thursday  evening,  March  10th,  in  the 
Assembly  Hall,  about  4^5  persons  being  present. 

Dr.  William  Wallace  Rose,  of  the  Universalist 
Church,  gave  a  most  interesting  talk  on  the  life  of 
Theodore  Roosevelt,  illustrated  with  colored  slides, 
which  was  most  enjoyable  as  well  as  educational. 
A  nine-piece  orchestra  under  the  direction  of  Russell 
Ives  furnished  excellent  music  during  the  dinner, 
while  "Hughie"  Barrett  and  "Al"  Monk  supplied 
comedy  and  fun  in  large  doses.  A  feature  of  the 
evening  was  the  presence  of  Mr.  Eastman,  who 
appeared  to  enjoy  every  bit  of  the  program.  We 
trust  that  he  will  join  us  again  at  our  next  meeting. 


ON  WITH  THE  DANCE! 


The  hall  was  more  beautifully  decorated,  the 
music  more  charming,  the  girls  prettier,  and  the 
men  livelier,  at  the  "Dance  Parisienne,"  the 
fifth  of  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  Dance  Series  held  on  Friday 
evening,  February  22nd,  than  at  any  of  the  previous 
parties.  At  least  those  who  attended,  numbering 
about  the  usual  six  hundred,  feel  so,  and  they  should 
know. 

Once  again  we  are  indebted  to  Jack  Brightman 
and  George  Bastian,  for  the  real  Parisienne  atmo- 
sphere which  dominated  the  hall  and  everything 
within,  inspiring  everyone  with  a  feeling  of  happi- 
ness and  driving  far  away  "dull  care." 

During  intermission,  Ferre  Marzluff  and  George 
Frank  sang  several  charming  numbers  accompanied 
by  Wilhelmina  Clark  at  the  piano. 


While  the  latter  half  of  the  program  was  in 
progress,  a  number  of  balloons  were  released  over 
the  heads  of  the  dancers.  To  some  of  these  were 
attached  numbers  and  a  lively  scramble  ensued, 
everyone  anxious  to  catch  one  of  the  lucky  balloons 
and  win  a  prize.  The  giving  of  prizes  at  the  parties 
this  year  has  become  a  feature  of  the  program, 
and  the  methods  devised  to  decide  the  winners  have 
been  unique  and  interesting,  being  different  on  each 
occasion. 

The  sixth  and  final  dance  of  the  series  will  be 
held  on  Friday,  April  8th.  The  committee  promises 
to  surpass  all  previous  accomplishments,  and  a  real 
time  is  assured.  Be  on  the  safe  side  and  get  your 
tickets  earlvl 


FIRST  CALL  OF  NOON-HOUR  LEAGUE 


The  first  robin  l)rings  joy  to  many  hearts,  but 
particularly  to  the  Noon-Hour  baseltal!  ])layers  and 
fans.  As  someone  was  hearel  to  remark  last  fall. 
"Some  of  these  fellows  would  play  all  winter  if  tliore 
were  any  way  to  keep  the  snow  off  the  diamond." 
From  very  early  spring  imtil  winter,  not  fall,  noon 
after  noon,  these  chaps  bolt  a  sandwich,  and  dash 
for  the  athletic  field.  Before  other  ball  jjlayers 
have  even  dug  out  their  war  togs,  these  hoys  arc  in 
mid-season  form.  Then,  too,  the  fans  and  "razzers" 
come  out  just  as  early,  perch  themselves  on  the 


bleachers,  hunched  up  in  their  coats,  an<l  start 
to  get  their  voices  in  shape,  for  voices  are  just  as 
much  a  part  of  the  Xoon-Hour  League  as  balls  and 
bats_. 

We  are  planning  on  our  usual  early  start  this 
season,  and  therefore  a  meeting  has  been  called  for 
Wednesday,  .Vpril  2()th.  in  the  Assembly  Hall, 
promptly  at  .):40  p.  m.  Departments  wishing  to 
secure  a  |ilace  in  the  League  are  requested  to  have  a 
representative  at  this  meeting,  as  the  selection  of 
officers  and  teams  will  be  made  at  this  time.

by  the  many  memlaers  of  the  Society  and  their 
interested  friends.-, 


CHARLES  F.  HUTCHISON 

Chairman,  Entertainment  Committt 


It  is  expected  that  about  2,500  chemists,  from  all 
parts  of  the  T'nited  States,  will  attend  the  conven- 
tion. The  general  headquarters  will  be  located  at 
the  Hotel  Rochester.  Division  Meetings  are  to  be

^Meetings  in  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  auditorium. 
On  Monday,  the  Council  Meeting  will  be  held  at 
the  Rochester  Club.  It  is  interesting  to  know  that 
there  are  approximately  30,000  people  in  Rochester 
who  are  employed  in  chemical  and  allied  industries. 
In  this  particular  line,  an  important  part  is  taken 
Ijy  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company.  Of  the  general 
committee  of  arrangements  for  the  Convention,  over 
one-half  the  members  are  Kodak  Park  chemists, 
and  F.  W.  Lovejoy  is  the  honorary  chairman  of  the 
Convention  Executive  Committee. 

The  following  Kodak  Park  men,  members  of  the 
Chemical  Society,  have  been  appointed  to  handle 
different  branches  of  the  general  details  involved

CAMERA  CLUB  DINNERS  AND  LECTURES  WELL  ATTENDED 


I'nder  the  new  administration,  following  the  in- 
stallation of  officers  for  lO'-Zl,  interest  and  activity 
have  continued,  and  give  promise  of  a  very  successful 
year  for  the  Kodak  Park  Camera  Club. 

The  first  "hike"  of  the  season  was  held  on  Sun- 
day, February  27th.  About  twenty  members  met 
at  the  Driving  Park  Avenue  entrance  to  Maplewood 
Park,  and  made  the  trip  through  the  Gorge  taking 
some  excellent  pictiu-es. 

The  suppers  and  lectures,  which  are  being  held 
every  two  weeks,  are  becoming  more  and  more 
popular,  a  large  percentage  of  the  members  being 
present  on  each  occasion.  During  February,  D.  W. 
Rupert  lectured  on  ]\Iotion  Picture  Photography, 
and  Dr.  A.  K.  Chapman  of  the  Development  De- 
partment, State  Street,  gave  an  interesting  talk  on 
lenses.  At  the  first  meeting  in  March,  J.  G.  Capstaff 
gave  an  entertaining  and  educational  lecture  on 
"Photographing  Colored  Objects."  These  lectures 
will  continue  to  be  given  until  sometime  in  May. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Club,  it  was  decided  to 
raise  the  dues  from  50  cents  to  $1.00  per  year.  An 
effort  is  being  made  to  provide  for  practical  instruc- 
tion and  demonstration,  and  dark  rooms  for  the 


general  use  of  the  members,  which  should  Ije  a 
great  help  in  promoting  the  activities  of  the  Camera 
Club.  Plans  are  also  under  way  for  a  dance  to  be 
held  sometime  in  the  near  future. 

An  invitation  is  again  extended  to  persons  in- 
terested in  photography  to  join  the  Club.  Applica- 
tions will  be  received  by  the  officers,  or  may  be 
sent  to  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  office. 

Don't  forget  the  spring  contest.  Every  member 
should  enter  at  least  one  picture  in  the  exhibit. 


Evidently  any  kind  of  a  ticket  was  good  at  the 
Cine  Slitting  Banquet  held  on  Tuesday,  March  8th. 
At  least  one  yoimg  gentleman,  whose  ticket  to  the 
Camera  Club  Dinner  and  Lecture,  was  accepted  by 
the  party  taking  tickets  for  the  Cine  affair,  is  in- 
clined to  think  so.  Anyway,  the  aforementioned 
gentleman  enjoyed  the  party  very  much.

KODAK  PARK  EMPLOYEES  LEARX  MUCH  ABOUT 
ROCHESTER  INSTITUTIONS 


The  Kodak  Park  Committeemen,  visiting  the 
local  charitable  and  philanthropic  institutions  in  the 
interest  of  the  Community  Chest,  are  all  greatly 
pleased  with  the  wonderful  people  they  meet,  the 
work  being  done,  and  the  results  obtained.  All  of 
this  is  made  possible  through  our  co-operation  and 
by  our  contributions  to  the  worthy  cause  of  the 
Rochester  Community  Chest. 

On  Wednesday,  February  16th,  a  Committee 
composed  of  H.  R.  Bullen.  Finished  Film  Supply 
Department;  Burt  C.  Smitli,  Film  Spooling  Depart- 
ment; Walter  W.  Short,  Cine  Slitting  Department; 
and  R.  A.  Weber,  visited  St.  Mary's  Orphanage  on 
West  Main  Street.  A  fire  drill  was  held  for  the 
Committee's  benefit.  The  drill  was  carried  out 
with  precision  and  dispatch,  every  one  of  the  240 
children  being  out  of  the  building  in  exactly  two 
minutes.  At  this  particular  time  of  the  day,  the 
very  small  children  were  taking  their  afternoon 
nap.  These  were  taken  from  their  beds  and  carried 
out  by  the  older  boys. 

Committee  Makes   Three  Calls 

On  Wednesday,  February  '2,'5rd,  H.  B.  Keegan, 
Building  40;  J.  A.  Hart,  Industrial  Economy  Depart- 
ment; Charles Boeyink,  P. and  S. Department;  F.  H 
Wignall,  and  R.  A.  Weber,  visited  the  Church 
Home  on  Mt.  Hope  Avenue;  St.  John's  Home  for 
the  Aged,  on  South  Avenue,  and  the  Dorsey  Home 
.on  the  Clinton  Avenue  Extension. 

As  usual,  the  Committee  was  delighted  with  the 
evidences  of  good  management,  home  spirit,  and 
comfort  seen  in  all  three  places. 

At  the  Church  Home,  both  children  and  aged 
people  are  cared  for.  The  children  receiving  the 
regular  educational  advantages,  the  older  ones 
being  sent  out  to  school  each  day,  until  they  have 
reached  the  age  of  16  years,  when  they  are  placed 
in  a  good  home  for  their  future  development. 

St.. John's  Home  was  fomid  to  be  very  up-to-date, 
and  ably  managed  by  Sister  Christine,  whose 
motherly  devotion  to  her  charges  left  a  pleasant 
memory  with  the  Committee. 

Thirty  Children  at  Dorsey  Home 

Good  work  is  also  being  done  by  Mrs.  Dorsey 
at  her  country  home  for  orphan  colored  children. 
The  location  and  surrt)undings  are  ideal  for  the 
home,  and  over  thirty  little  children  are  made  happy, 
cared  for,  and  educated  under  the  supervision  of 
Mrs.  Dorsey. 

Again  on  Wednesday,  March  '■2nd,  a  committee 
visited  the  As.sociated  Hebrew  Charities,  Social 
Settlement,  and  United  Jewish  Charities  on  Baden 
Street,  and  the  Housekeeping  Center  on  Lewis 
Street.  This  committee  was  comjxiscd  of  Anna 
Beach,  Box  Department;  Mrs.  Buckley.  D.  O.  P. 
Packing  Department;  John  Shei)herd,  Department 
.50;  W.  L.  Farley,  and  R.  A.  Weber. 

The  Associated  Helirew  Charities  is  located  in  a 
modern  building,  which  is  used  tluring  the  day  as  an 
annex  to  No.  !)  School.  Mr.  West,  principal  of 
No.  !)  School,  received  the  Committee,  and  con- 
tlucted  it  through  the  institution.  Miss  Wolf, 
in  charge  of  the  Charities,  exj)lained  the  work  as 
handled  by  her  organization. 


Social  Center  Does  Good  Work 

At  the  Social  Center,  more  good  is  being  accom- 
plished than  anyone  who  has  not  come  in  contact 
with  it  can  appreciate.  This  institution  is  similar 
to  the  Industrial  School  on  Exchange  Street.  Here 
the  Day  Nursery  is  maintained,  taking  care  of 
children  of  working  or  sick  mothers.  There  are 
also  classes  in  Americanization  work,  where  the 
older  women  are  taught  to  read  and  \\Tite  the 
English  language. 

In  the  Public  Dispensary,  hundreds  of  cases  are 
given  medical  attention.  At  the  time  of  the 
Committee's  visit,  tlie  waiting  room  was  filled 
almost  to  capacity.  This  building  is  also  modern 
in  every  detail,  and  exceptionally  well  cared  for. 
Both  the  Social  Center  and  Dispensary  are  in  charge 
of  Mrs.  Jerdone. 

Afl^airs  of  the  I'nited  Jewish  Charities  are  take 
care  of  by  Miss  Schiffren,  who  displayed  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  work  being  done  by  the  Associa- 
tion, and  a  keen  insight  and  understanding  of  human 
nature  as  applied  to  the  one  hundred  or  more 
families  who  are  being  given  the  right  kind  of 
assistance  and  encouragement  to  make  them  self- 
reliant,  able  citizens. 

Italians  Learn  Housekeeping 

The  Housekeeping  Center,  in  charge  of  Miss 
Charlotte  French,  is  doing  a  great  work  among  the 
Italian  residents  of  this  section.  Clas.ses,  well  at-

WILLIS  AND  CASE  IN  PLAY-OFF  FOR  19-20 
GOLF  CHAMPIONSHIP 

Last  season  when  the  names  of  the  entries  for  the 
Kodak  Park  Golf  Tournament  were  received,  it  was 
gratifying  to  learn  that  so  many  of  oiu"  people  were 
interested  in  this  great  outdoor  sport.  The  tourna- 
ment, although  late  in  starting,  was  played  out  with 
the  exception  of  the  final  match  between  Fred 
Willis,  of  Building  J?.".,  and  P.  H.  Case,  of  the  In- 
dustrial Economy  Deiiartment.  They  were  pre- 
vented from  playing  the  deciding  match  by  the 
closing  of  the  links.  Both  men  are  ready  to  play 
as  soon  as  possible,  and  the  match  will  be  held 
within  a  short  time. 

In  view  of  the  interest  displayed,  it  is  planned  to 
have  all  those  who  wish  to  compete  for  the  K.  P. A. A. 
Cup.  send  in  their  names  before  June  1st.  A  record 
will  be  kept  of  (he  low  monthly  score  of  each  partici- 
pant. From  these  figures  the  ratings  will  be  de- 
termined ami  handicaps  allowed  ft)r  the  Elimination 
Tournament  to  be  run  during  September  and 
October. 

W\  those  interested  are  requested  to  keep  these 
con<litit)ns  in  mind,  and  be  prepared  to  enter  their 
names  some  time  next  month.  Entries  should  be 
sent  to  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  Office.

KODAK  TROOP  WINS  HONORS 


On  Friday,  March  11th,  District  "A,"  Rochester 
Boy  Scouts  held  a  meet  in  the  Kodak  Park  As- 
sembly Hall,  about  '■250  boys  competing,  represent- 
ing ten  troops  of  the  division. 

Our  Kodak  Troop  No.  .50  won  first  place  in  the

CINE  SLITTING  BANQUET  AND  DANCE 

On  Tuesday  ev'ening,  March  8th,  the  employees  of 
the  Cine  Slitting  Department,  of  Building  12, 
num])ering  about  one  hundred  persons,  turned  out 
in  full  regimentals  at  their  first  annual  dinner  and 
dance,  held  in  the  Assembly  Hall,  Building  28. 
After  doing  justice  to  a  fine  steak  dinner,  especially 
prepared  by  our  famous  chef,  members  of  the  de- 
partment were  highly  entertained  with  short  talks 
by  W.  L.  Farley,  George  Fallesen,  H.  J.  Ireland, 
Andrew  McGuidwin,  and  Murray  Gilbert. 

The  hit  of  the  evening  was  the  department 
orchestra,  composed  of  Mrs.  Redman,  Messrs. 
Irving  Rohr,  Clarence  Weaver  and  Martin  Gardner, 
who  furnished  lively  airs  during  the  dinner.  Another 
big  feature  was  the  singing  of  songs  especially 
arranged  and  led  by  James  Peters. 

After  dinner,  the  party  adjourned  to  the  assembly 
hall,  where  a  splendid  vaudeville  program  was 
given,  all  numbers  being  rendered  by  Cine  em- 
ployees. Dancing  followed  until  an  early  hour, 
when  the  party  ended  with  three  cheers  for  H.  J. 
Ireland,  and  those  who  had  helped  to  make  the 
evening  a  big  success. 

To  the  following  persons,  who  comprised  the 
Committee,  we  extend  our  thanks  and  apprecia- 
tion :  Clara  Pirr,  Bessie  Withers,  Muriel  Swetman, 
Martin  Gardner,  Charles  Laging,  James  Peters, 
and  I'rank  Baker. 


meet,  with  a  total  of  16  points,  winning  over  Ti-oop 
No.  16,  one  of  the  crack  Rochester  contingents,  by 
one  point.  Our  boys  won  first  place  in  two  events, 
the  knot  tying  and  equipment  race,  and  finished 
second  in  the  signalling  contest. 

The  boys  of  Troop  No.  50  may  well  be  proud  of 
their  success,  since  the  troop  was  organized  only 
two  years  ago  and  the  boys  are  considerably  younger 
and  smaller  than  those  of  many  of  the  other  troops. 
Under  these  circumstances  to  win  the  first  meet  in 
which  it  has  entered  is,  to  say  the  least,  very 
gratifying. 

The  members  of  the  winning  team  in  the  knot 
tying  contest  were:  Gridley,  Wishart,  Lee  and 
Cohen.  Louis  Hall  won  the  equipment  race,  and 
the  team  composed  of  Gridley  and  Bullock  took 
second  place  in  the  signalling  contest. 

We  wish  to  announce  that  membership  in  the 
Kodak  Troop  is  not  limited  alone  to  Kodak  Park 
boys,  but  that  the  .sons  or  boys  in  the  immediate 
family  of  any  employees  of  the  Eastman  Kodak 
Company  are  eligible  to  belong,  and  an  invitation 
is  extended  to  all  such  to  make  application  for 
membership. 

A  few  more  assistant  scout  masters  are  needed  if 
the  troop  is  to  continue  to  grow  and  be  successful 
There  is  plenty  of  good  material,  and  under  good 
leadershij)  Troop  No.  50  should  be  the  biggest  and 
best  troop  in  the  city. 

Either  boys  interested  in  joining  the  troop,  or 
men  willing  to  devote  a  little  of  their  time  to  this 
cause,  are  requested  to  get  in  touch  with  Mr.  II.  H. 
Tozier  at  Kodak  Park.  The  troop  meets  every 
Mondav  evening  at  7:30  p.  m.  in  the  Assemblv 
Hall. 

The  officers  of  the  troop  are  H.  H.  Tozier,  Scout 
Master;  Donald  McMaster,  Assistant  Scout  Master; 
and  F.  L.  Cook,  Assistant  Scout  Master. 


PARCEL  PASS  SYSTEM  IN  OPERATION 

Owing  to  the  extensive  growth  of  Kodak  Park,  it 
has  been  found  necessary  to  establish  a  Parcel  Pass 
System,  which  was  put  into  operation  on  February 
1st.  In  order  that  this  system  may  function 
properly,  it  is  necessary  that  we  have  the  co-opera- 
tion of  all  employees,  and  we  earnestly  solicit  your 
help  in  making  it  a  success. 

No  person  should  leave  the  plant  with  any  sort 
of  a  package,  with  the  exception  of  ladies'  hand- 
bags, lunch  boxes,  and  unwrapped  overalls,  without 
first  procuring  a  pass  which  should  be  turned  over 
to  the  gate  man  on  the  way  out.  A  pass  may  be 
obtained  from  your  foreman  or  any  other  person 
designated  by  your  superintendent  upon  applica- 
tion. If  the  package  which  you  wish  to  take  out 
contains  some  of  your  personal  belongings,  you  will 
have  no  difficulty  whatever  in  obtaining  a  pass  to 
do  so.  If  it  be  an  article  purchased  from  the  com- 
pany, the  pass  should  be  attached  to  the  parcel 
when  delivered  to  you. 

It  is  planned  to  have  this  system  operate  with 
as  little  trouble  and  inconvenience  to  everyone  con- 
cerned, and  by  complying  with  the  prescribed 
regulations,  all  confusion  and  possible  embarrass- 
ment will  be  eliminated.

PARK  RETAINS  EASTMAN  TROPm 

Last  week  the  "Eastman  Trophy,"  the  main 
objective  in  the  Camera  Bowhng  League,  was  taken 
out  of  the  Kodak  Park  trophy  case,  dusted  and 
pohslied,  and  its  picture  taken   together  with  the

members  of  the  famous  Kodak  Park  team.  It  was 
then  returned  to  its  place  among  the  other  spoils  of 
war,  won  by  the  different  Park  teams,  where  it  is 
to  remain  for  at  least  another  year.  We  are  proud 
of  this  trophy,  and  of  our  team  which  has  won  it 
so  many  times  during  the  past  years.  Our  boys  have 
had  little  difficulty  in  winning  practically  every 
match  rolled  this  season,  not  only  because  they  have 
been  together  for  some  time,  but  also  because  they 
are  better,  much  better  than  ever  before.  In 
Beuckman,  Servise.  Natt,  Behrns  and  Thistle, 
Kodak  Park  has  the  most  consistent  team  repre- 
senting any  industrial  concern  in  the  city.  Servise, 
the  yoimgest  man  on  the  team,  and  l)y  no  means  the 
weakest,  is  really  the  leading  younger  bowler  of 
Rochester,  and  easily  liolds  liis  own  with  the 
seasoned  old  timers.  The  prospects  are  that  we  will 
have  this  .same  team  for  many  years  to  come,  and 
that  they  will  continue  to  win  trophies  for  Kodak 
Park,  year  after  year. 

The  race  in  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  League  has  appar- 
ently narrowed  dovm  to  two  teams,  the  Indians 
and  Building  30.  Only  four  games  .separate  them, 
and  notliing  but  a  complete  blowout  will  prevent 
one  or  the  other  from  winning  the  tropiiy.  In  the 
Yard  League,  the  race  is  somewhat  closer.  The 
Office  is  at  present  in  the  lead,  with  the  Trucking, 
Steel  Shed  and  Garage  right  on  their  heels.  Only  a 
few  more  weeks  of  the  schedule  remain,  and — then 
for  the  Tournament. 


APRIL  FIRST 

Is  moving  time,  and  no  doubt  some  of  our  employees 
will  be  making  a  change.  There  is  one  important 
duty  to  be  taken  care  of  when  you  move,  namely, 
to  notify  the  Pay  Roll  Department  of  the  change  of 
address,  so  that  the  records  may  be  kept  correct 
and  up-to-date. 

If  an  employee  is  taken  sick,  or  meets  with  an 
accident,  an  effort  is  made  to  get  in  touch  with  his 
home,  immediately.  If  it  is  found  that  he  has 
moved  within  a  short  time,  and  we  have  only  his 
old  address,  considerable  delay  results  in  the 
Medical  Department  and  also  in  notifying  his 
relatives. 

To  keep  the  Pay  Roll  informed  requires  no  great 
effort  on  your  part.  Simply  write  your  new  address 
on  the  back  of  your  pay  receipt  and  it  is  taken  care 
of.     Keep  this  in  mind  the  next  time  you  move!

THE  KODAK  IVLVGAZINE 


KODAK  PARK  IN  MIDST  OF  CHAMPIONSHIP  SERIES 


At  the  time  you  are  reading  this  issue  of  the 
Magazine,  we  will  have  met  and,  we  trust,  defeated 
the  three  hardest  teams  in  the  state,  namely, 
Buflfalo  Lincolns,  Centrals,  and  Balcos.  Each  of 
these  teams  was  played  earlier  in  the  season.  We 
lost  to  the  Centrals  19  to  11.  and  to  Balcos  25  to  21, 
but  defeated  the  famous  Lincolns  20  to  25.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  Lincolns  have  twice  defeated  both 
the  Centrals  and  the  B.  &  L.  team. 


RALPH  TICHENOR— Forward 
Kodak  Park  Basketball  Team 

After  several  years,  relations  were  re-established 
with  the  Centrals,  and,  in  the  first  game  of  the 
.series,  which  was  played  on  February  IGth,  Kodak 
lost.  This  game  was  staged  at  the  New  York  State 
Armory,  on  a  court  entirely  strange  to  our  players. 
It  was,  however,  fast  and  interesting,  although  the 
Kodak  team  was  confused  by  the  glass  backboards, 
which  resulted  in  many  shots  being  missed.  Again 
on  February  24th,  we  were  defeated  in  the  first  game 
of  the  Kodak — B.  &  L.  Series  on  the  Balcos'  court, 
by  the  narrow  margin  of  four  points.  The  play  was 
interesting  from  start  to  finish,  and  the  game  un- 
decided until  the  final  whistle.  Ortner,  who  played 
left  forward  for  the  Opticians,  was  a  hard  man  to 
stop,  and  his  work  was  the  big  feature  in  Bausch's 
victory.  Every  man  on  the  Kodak  team  played 
good  basketball,  and  little  distinction  can  be  made. 

It  is  felt  that  the  Kodak  team  is  equal  to  any 
aggregation  in  the  city,  and  should  have  an  even 
chance  with  either  the  Centrals  or  Bausch's.  The 
results  of  the  two  games  already  played  with  these 
teams  may  have  been  somewhat  affected  by  the 
fact  that  some  of  the  Park  players  have  been  pla;,  - 
ing  quite  often  in  games  with  other  teams,  which 
does  not  help  their  playing  with  Kodak  at  this 
particular  time  of  the  season.     This,  however,  has 


been  practically  eliminated,  and  the  prospects 
in  the  rest  of  the  games  scheduled  seem  brighter. 

For  the  past  couple  of  seasons,  previous  to  1920-21, 
the  Park  team  has  not  quite  been  up  to  its  usual 
caliber.  There  were,  however,  good  reasons  for 
this,  the  war  being  the  main  one.  This  year  a 
firm  foundation  has  been  established,  and,  as  no 
championship  team  has  ever  been  built  in  a  single 
.season,  our  record  is  one  to  be  proud  of,  and  1921-22 
will  see  Kodak  in  lier  rightful  position — at  the  top 
of  the  basketball  ladder. 

Up  to  March  11th,  thirteen  games  had  been 
played,  of  which  number  we  won  nine.  The  fans 
have  again  l)egun  to  realize  that  basketball  is  being 
played  by  the  Park  team,  and  they  are  giving  much 
better  support,  so  that  prospects  for  a  real  "come- 
back" of  this  sport  are  bright.

BUILDING  50  TEAM  IX  FIRST  PLACE 

The  beginning  of  the  second  week  of  March 
shows  the  Building  50  team  in  first  place  in  the 
K.  P.  A.  A.  Departmental  Basketball  League. 
Building  50  recently  nosed  out  the  Engineers, 
who  have  been  on  top  practically  all  during  the 
season.  How  long  they  will  hold  this  much-coveted 
position  cannot  be  determined,  as  the  Engineers  are 
only  a  few  points  behind,  tied  with  the  Reel  for 
second  place.  The  latter  team  is  playing  fast  ball 
and  has  gradually  crept  towards  the  top  imtil  at 
present,  they  are  being  picked  by  many  as  the 
logical  winners  of  the  trophy.  Since  strengthening 
their  team,  by  the  addition  of  "Bill"  Doane,  who 
is  still  able  to  play  a  mighty  good  game,  things  have 
been  easier  for  them.  In  the  last  game,  previous  to 
this  writing,  they  defeated  the  Engineers  34  to  28, 
an    extra    five-minute    period    being   necessary. 

"Charlie"  Brightman,  Research;  Kingston,  En- 
gineers; Weigand,  Building  50,  and  Goebel, 
Office,  are  still  the  shining  lights  of  the  League,  and 
are  making  a  strong  bid  for  recognition  from  the 
Coach  of  the  big  team.  They  should  in  time  become 
valuable  players  for  Kodak  Park.

WILLIAM  MACDOXALD 

The  many  friends  and  associates  of  William 
MacDonald  were  grieved  to  learn  of  his  death  on 
February  9th,  at  his  residence,  141  Flower  ("ity 
Park,  after  an  illness  of  only  a  few  days. 

^Ir.  MacDonald  had  been  with  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Company  for  twenty  years,  having  first 
entered  its  employ  in  January,  1901.  For  a  short 
time  he  was  employed  in  the  Film  Coating  Depart- 
ment, and  in  June  of  that  year  was  transferred  to 
the  Dope  Department,  where  he  remained  up  to 
the  time  of  his  death. 

A  man  of  sterling  qualities,  an  industrious,  con- 
scientious workman,  having  the  confidence  of  his 
superiors  and  the  good  will  of  his  fellow  employees, 
sums  up  his  character  in  a  few  words. 

We  unite  in  expressing  to  his  surviving  relatives 
our  deepest  sympathy. 


Kodak  Park,  March  14,  19-21. 
Editor.  Kodak  Magazine,  Kodak  Park. 
Dear  Sir: 

I  wish  to  thank  all  who  have  contributed  to  my 
recovery  from  what  seemed,  and  I  believe  was,  a 
very  serious  operation. 

My  respect  and  admiration  for  hospitals  in 
general,  and  the  General  Hospital  in  particular,  has 
enthused  me  for  the  Community  Chest.  The  care 
and  sympathy  from  our  Medical  Department  in  the 
Park  is  fully  equal  to  that  received  from  the  "old 
family  physician." 

Stricken  down  suddenly,  while  at  work,  it  is  a 
great  soothing  for  your  suffering,  to  find  yourself 
surrounded  with  sympathy  and  such  painstaking 
consideration  as  you  get,  first  from  your  foreman 
and  shopmates,  and  then  from  Dr.  Slater  (to  who.se 
timely  and  professional  experience,  I  believe,  I  owe 
my  life),  and  the  nurses.  As  you  go  from  there  to 
the  hospital,  you  think  you  are  leaving  all  your 
friends,  but  not  so.  The  same  consideration  for 
trouble  meets  you  there,  plus  a  scientific  knowledge 
and  efficiency,  possible  only  in  a  centralized  place 
for  treating  all  diseases  to  which  man  is  heir. 

Last,  but  not  least,  "Lady  Bountiful"  visiting  you 

to  see  that  you  do  not  lack  attention,  which  will 

help  your  recoverv.        r--  ■

PARK  GIRLS  SUCCUMB  TO  CLEVELAND  CHAMPIONS 


A  little  nervousness  during  the  first  half  of  the 
game  with  the  Clark  Munies,  Championship  Basket- 
ball Team  of  Cleveland,  perhaps  caused  by  the 
realization  of  the  reputation  of  the  visitors,  resulted 
in  the  first  defeat  suffered  by  the  Kodak  Park  girls 
this  season.

Star  Guards  of  Kodak  Park  Girls'  Basketball  Team 

March  3rd  had  been  eagerly  awaited  for  some 
time.  As  early  as  seven  o'clock,  the  crowd  began 
to  flock  into  the  Hall,  until  over  a  thousand  followers 
of  the  Kodak  Park  girls'  team,  all  anxious  to  see 
this  wonderful  aggregation  in  action, were  assembled. 
Everyone  came  looking  for  thrills,  and  found  them 
a  plenty.  The  Cleveland  team  proved  to  be  all  that 
was  claimed  of  them — and  a  whole  lot  more.  Their 
team  work  and  accuracy  in  shooting  from  any  posi- 
tion, together  with  their  truly  sportsmanlike  atti- 
tude, won  for  them  a  place  in  the  hearts  of  the  fans, 
and,  although  it  is  regrettable  that  Kodak  did  not 
win,  it  is  considered  an  honor  to  have  lost  to  such 
a  fine  team  oi  girls. 

With  the  score  thirteen  to  two  against  them, 
Kodak  started  the  second  half  with  all  their  old 
spirit  of  aggressiveness,  and  played  the  type  of 
game   which   has   proven   so   effective   against   all 


opponents  to  date,  outplaying  the  visitors  up  to  the 
final  whistle,  and  scoring  five  points  against  the 
Munies'  one.  The  lead,  however,  was  too  great  to 
overcome.  The  game  finished  fourteen  to  seven 
against  Kodak. 

Every  member  of  the  team  is  entitled  to  praise, 
and  "Charlie"  Thompson,  the  popular  coach,  and 
the  assistant  coacli,  "Jack"  Brightman,  have  reason 
to  be  proud  of  what  they  have  accomplished  in  a 
short  time,  with  a  team  of,  practically  speaking, 
"beginners."  Another  season's  experience  imder 
the  same  coaching,  is  sure  to  make  our  girls  in- 
vincible. "Marge"  Ellis,  manager,  who  succeeded 
in  booking  this  big  attraction,  is  also  to  be  con- 
gratulated on  the  team's  success,  and  on  afl'ording 
us  the  treat  of  such  an  exhibition.  The  entire 
(proposition  was  handled  by  the  girls,  and,  for  once, 
the  men  played  the  "hea\'>'"  part  as  spectators. 

The  question  of  opponents  is  becoming  serious, 
as  it  is  difficult  to  find  teams  willing  to  stack  up 
against  our  girls.  Already  the  City  Championship 
is  an  assured  fact,  and  by  virtue  of  the  showing 
made  against  the  Clev^eland  team,  the  Park  girls  are 
now  on  a  much  higher  plane.  Plans  are  under  way 
to  bring  other  famous  teams  of  the  caliber  of  the 
"Mimies"  here  in  the  near  future. 

In  the  preliminary  game  to  the  Kodak-Cleveland 
contest,  the  Premo  girls  defeated  a  team  composed 
of  League  players,  by  the  overwhelming  score  of 
thirty-five  to  two.  Jennie  Walzer  played  a  wonder- 
ful game  for  Premo,  scoring  practically  at  will.

SCHLEGEL'S  GIRLS  BREAK  EVEN 


'Bill"  Schlegel  is  looking  about  New  York  State 
for  lady  wTestlers  to  oppose  his  petite  forward. 
Grace  Wiemer.  Grace  highly  resents  any  attenijjt 
to  clamp  her  arms,  or  to  hold  in  any  way,  and  all 
recent  opponents  who  have  tried  such  tactics  have 
been  tossed  over  her  shoulder  a  la  DaAiscourt. 
Grace's  new  stunt  was  first  noticed  in  the  game 
with  the  Stromberg-Carlson  five,  on  February  17th. 
which  Hawk-Eve  won  bv  a  score  of  -2.')  to  4. 


MRS.  \MLLL\M  SCHLEGEL 
Chaperone  of  girls'  basketball  and  baseball  teams 

Wke  Gears  also  began  cutting  up  early  in  the 
evening  and  caged  the  ball  six  times.  Most  of  the 
shots  were  of  the  fancy,  side  variety  and  would  have 
done  credit  to  Peterson.  "Babe"  Meerdink  was  our 
other  chief  .scorer,  with  nine  points  to  her  credit. 
The  guards,  "Ollie"  Kellett.  Ethel  Reinhardt  and 
Virginia  Earl  all  i)layed  fast,  aggressive  ball.  Virginia 
was  most  iridignant  when  the  opj)osition  scored  its 
second  basket,  and  saw  to  it  that  it  didn't  haj)pen 
again. 


Lilies,  crepe  and  slow  music!  On  February  19th, 
the  girls  with  the  aid  and  connivance  of  Messrs. 
Haus  and  .Schlegel,  made  a  most  disastrous  invasion 
f)f  the  to^Ti  of  Silver  Springs,  by  means  of  the  above 
named  gentlemen's  cars.  They  went  with  the 
avowed  intention  of  bringing  home  five  scalps,  and 
it  must  be  said  that  they  looked  good  in  practice. 
In  the  game  itself,  however,  things  went  rather 
differently.  The  short  court  made  the  girls 
misjudge  distances,  and  consequently  miss  shots. 
There  was  no  out-of-bounds.  \Mienever  the  ball 
hit  the  wall.  Hawk-Eye  waited  for  the  whistle, 
which  never  came.  Silver  Springs  caged  the  ball 
on  a  number  of  such  occasions  before  our  team  be- 
came accustomed  to  the  ruling.  Through  poor 
refereeing,  not  one  foul  was  called,  depri^•ing  Hawk- 
Eye  of  the  chance  to  score  by  this  route.  When  the 
scalping  party  was  over,  the  count  was  18-0  against 
Hawk-Eye.  It  speaks  well  for  the  town  of  Silver 
Springs  that,  in  spite  of  the  adverse  score,  the  en- 
tertainment accorded  our  party  left  pleasant 
memories  of  the  trip — that  is,  with  everyone  except 
Mr.  Haus.  His  machine  began  failing  rapidly  on 
the  return  trip,  and  made  at  least  part  of  the  latter 
resemble  a  real  funeral  procession. 

.\fter  that,  there  were  no  regular  games  for  two 
weeks,  and  somebody  with  a  mean  disposition  said 
that  the  girls  had  gone  into  retirement  after  the 
Springs  game.  Whatever  it  was,  they  came  out  of 
it  on  March  .'5rd,  when  they  took  another  round  out 
of  the  Ritter  team,  14-.'5.  Alice  sank  three  shots  in 
the  first  half  and  then  dropped  into  a  peaceful  sleep 
and  was  heard  from  no  more.  After  that.  Grace 
made  a  long,  wild  "steve"  that  bounded  high  from 
the  rim  of  the  basket  and  then  dropped  through 
like  a  plummet.  In  the  second  half,  the  scoring 
honors  were  ceded  to  "Babe"  Meerdink,  and  she 
made  all  of  our  final  six  points. 

If  there  is  anything  to  criticise  "Billy"  Maier  for, 
it  is  that  she  has  been  playing  too  hard.  Her 
strenuous  playing  all  season  has  drained  a  lot  of 
her  vitality,  and  it  will  probably  take  some  time 
for  her  to  regain  it.  Not  that  she  lackeil  any  of  her 
old-time  "pep"  in  the  next  Ritter  game  on  March 
8th,  in  fact  her  presence  made  things  look  quite 
bright  for  Hawk-Eye.  The  first  half  ended  at  1-5 
for  Ritter.  In  the  second  half,  Hawk-Eye  tried  to 
stage  a  come-back,  but  the  opponents  managed  to 
keep  just  one  jump  ahead.  Perhaps  the  fact,  that 
.\lice  had  come  close  enough  to  a  car  to  lose  a 
finger-nail,   accounts  for  the   13-11  defeat. 

"Ollie"  Kellett  had  planned  an  out-of-town  trip 
l)ut,  as  it  interfered  with  the  game,  she  tore  up  her 
ticket  and  played.    .\11  credit  to  "OUie's  "  loyalty.

INDOOR  LEAGUE  SUSPENDS 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  tlie  })uilding  at  Exposition 
Park,  nsually  devoted  to  indoor  baseliall,  was  used 
so  often  for  various  sliows,  the  interest  in  the  sport 
slackened  ap|)recial)iy,  with  the  result  that  two 
teanas  dropped  out  during  the  last  days  of  February. 
It  was  consequently  decided  at  a  meeting  of  the 
managers  to  suspend  playing  in  the  League  for  the 
balance  of  the  season.  Hawk-Eye  finished  in  second 
place,  and  would  have  been  capable  of  putting  up  a 
great  fight  for  the  pennant,  had  tiie  League  lasted 
a  little  longer.  "Mart"  Tipple  hasn't  liad  his  fill 
this  season,  and  is  conniving  with  the  managers  of 
the  American  Woodworking  and  Steelier  Lithograph 
teams  to  run  a  few  little  ])rivate  parties  at  the 
Armory  to  decide  the  cjuestion  as  to  who's  who  in 
local  indoor  circles. 


KOSEL'S  MEN  TIE  MAIN  OFFICE 

By  winning  six  out  of  the  last  nine  games,  the 
bowling  team  boosted  Hawk-Eye's  stock  con- 
siderably. They  struck  a  snag  when  they  ran  into 
the  Main  Office  team  on  February  19th,  and 
emerged  on  the  long  end  of  only  one  of  the  three 
games,  but  a  week  later,  they  surprised  the  Kodak 
Park  team,  and  walked  off  with  two.  On  March 
5th,  they  coiitinucfl  in  the  right  direction  by  taking 
all  three  points  from  Folmer-Century. 

The  steady  improvement  shown  by  Hawk-Eye 
netted  a  comfortable  margin  in  the  handicap 
race,  and  we  are  pleased  to  announce  that  the 
handsome  silver  trophy  won  last  year,  will  remain 
with  us  for  at  least  one  more  season. 

The  high  lights  of  the  team's  recent  rolling  have 
been  supplied  to  a  large  extent  by  "Carlie"  Kehrig, 


CLEANING  AND  INSPECTING  DEPARTMENT  PARTY 


Irene  Martin  recently  entertained  a  crowd  of 
girls  from  the  Cleaning  and  Inspecting  Department, 
at  a  baby  party.  Short  dresses  were  all  the  rage 
together  withbig  liair  bowsand  loose-hanging  braids. 

The  hostess  had  planned  a  number  of  stunts  and 
games,  all  of  which  were  heartily  enjoyed.      Lyda 


Ladwig  rendered  .several  piano  selections.  Then 
Althea  Hooker  gave  an  exhil)ition  of  aesthetic  and 
modern  dancing,  and  Verena  Englert  deserves 
credit  for  her  clever  clogging. 

The  guests  were  regaled  with  a  delicious  luncheon, 
after  which  they  proceeded  to  spend  the  rest  of  the 
evening  in  dancing.

HAWK-EYE  NIGHT 


Basketball  and  dancin"  is  ever  a  pleasing  com- 
bination. With  the  added  ingredients  of  exclusively 
Hawk-Eye  performers  and  Hawk-Eye  onlookers,  it 
was  rolled  into  a  deciiledl>'  successful  recipe  for  a 
good  time  at  the  Stratford  Rink  on  Fel)ruary   '•21st. 

The  girls'  game  which  opened  the  festivities,  was 
of  unusual  interest,  as  was  evidenced  by  the  fact 
that  a  larger  crowd  had  arrived  by  half-past  seven 
than  had  been  present  at  any  previous  game.  A 
team  of  all-stars,  captained  by  Ruth  Kurtz,  opposed 
the  regular  five,  and  put  up  a  very  creditable  game 
in  spite  of  the  fact  that  they  had  had  very  little 
practice.  Loretta  Ereth  and  Dorthy  Morse  played 
the  guards  diu-ing  the  first  half,  with  Jane  DeGrafl 
and  Agnes  McDonald  at  the  forward  positions,  and 
Grace  Close  at  center.  The  All-Stars  were  hampered 
by  lack  of  shooting  practice  and  the  first  half  ended 
8-0  for  the  regulars.  After  the  intermission,  Ruth 
Kurtz  went  in  at  one  of  the  guards,  and  injected 
a  deal  of  "pep"  into  her  team-mates,  but  their  in- 
ability to  locate  the  ring  was  fatal  nevertheless. 
Jane  DeGraff  scored  their  only  point  on  a  foul,  the 
game  ending  at  14-1. 

The  "All-Star"  men  fared  worse  at  the  hands  of 
the  regular  team  in  the  second  game.  Captain 
Rosenthal  had  quite  an  army  in  uniform,  but  was 
not  allowed  to  put  in  more  than  five  of  them  at  any 
one  time,  which  proved  to  be  a  serious  draw-back. 
But  even  at  that,  he  put  up  a  brave  fight,  and 
brought  up  an  almost  endless  string  of  reinforce- 


IL\WK-EYE  MEN  COP  TWO! 

The  game  between  Hawk-Eye  and  the  Morgan- 
David  five,  had  been  advertised  as  the  leading 
farce-comedy  of  the  season.  The  opposing  team  was 
made  up  mostly  of  old  Central  stars,  whose  rotund- 
ity was  expected  to  give  rise  to  many  excruciatingly 
funny  situations.  When  hostilities  actually  com- 
menced, the  spectators  were  somewhat  alarmed  for 
the  safety  of  the  Hawk-Eye  players.  They  specu- 
lated, for  instance,  on  what  would  happen  if  sylph- 
like "Cliff""  Johnson  were  side-swiped  by  a  couple  of 
the  hea\7-weights.  On  one  occasion,  he  actually  was 
clamped  between  two  of  them,  and  was  expected  to 
emerge  slimmer  than  the  proverbial  i)ancake,  but 
both  of  his  opponents  went  down  antl  he  was  still 
lip.     The  first  as.sault  ended  at  10-7  for  Hawk-Eye. 

The  second  half  was  even  more  of  a  scuffle  than 
the  first.  Referee  Schieff  called  about  twenty-five 
of  the  most  flagrant  fouls,  and  let  it  go  at  that.  By 
mutual  consent,  no  one  was  ejected  from  the  game. 
In  this  session.  Freeman  of  the  Morgan-Davids. 
did  some  exceptional  foul-shooting,  netting  eight 
in  as  many  tries,  and  thereby  kept  his  team  in  the 
running.  Toward  the  end.  however,  they  became 
rather  short  of  wind,  and  Hawk-Eye  drew  away 
with  comparative  ease.  So  the  game  ended  with  a 
score  of  -24  to  IC. 

March  ord  .saw  the  first  encounter  of  the  year 
with  the  Camera  Works  men.  The  latter  team  had 
been  organized  not  long  before,  and  consequently, 
suffered  from  lack  of  team-work.  Peterson,  Miller. 
Johnson  and  Rabin  accounted  for  fifty-two  points, 
wliile  "Benny""  Levine  stuck  to  the  defensive  and 
held  down  the  other  end  of  the  score.  John.son 
boosted  his  average  more  than  anyone  else,  caging 
the  ball  eight  times.     Score,  5i  to  l(i. 


ments  in  his  efforts  to  turn  back  the  regulars. 
Prentice  and  Hoffmeier  started  at  forward  with 
Rosenthal  and  Felerski  at  guard,  and  Barlowe  at 
center.  To  keep  the  line-up  fresh,  Davis, 
Zelvon  and  Bamford  were  sent  in.  and  later  Reis. 
Davis  and  Mills.  The  well-oiled  Purple  and  White 
combination  was  too  strong  even  for  this  array  of 
talent,  and  the  stars  lost  by  a  score  of  34-6. 

Both  the  girls'  and  men's  teams  deserve  a  great 
deal  of  credit  for  the  spirit  and  enthusiasm  with 
which  they  undertook  to  proWde  interesting  and 
exciting  games.  The  volume  of  the  cheering  left 
no  doubt  in  anyone's  mind  as  to  the  success  of 
their  efforts. 

And  then  there  was  dancing  for  those  who  cared 
to  indulge  in  that  gentle  sport.  An  augmented 
Hawk-Eye  orchestra  worked  hard  from  nine-thirty 
until  the  lights  grew  dim  and  threatened  to  go  out 
altogether. 

Inez  Prentice  and  Alice  Gears  danced  feverishly 
with  every  partner  in  anticipation  of  the  prize 
"jazz."'  which  never  came. 

Mr.  ^^atts  argued  the  relative  merits  of  pedro 
and  pinochle  with  all  comers  and  "Bill""  Schlegel 
discussed  the  baseball  outlook  with  "Doc"  Craib. 
"Ed"  Meinhard  just  smoked.  In  other  words, 
everyone  carried  out  his  or  her  idea  of  a  good  time, 
which  is  the  surest  way  to  make  any  party  a 
successful  one. 


Leo  Kryger  of  the  Anastigniat  Lens  Department, 
resigned  recently  to  accept  a  new  position.  Our 
very  best  wishes  for  a  prosperous  future  go  with 
him.

SOCCER 

About  twenty  men  were  present  at  a  meeting  of 
soccer  enthusiasts,  held  on  March  2d,  to  consider 
plans  for  the  coming  season.  Of  those  present,  the 
following  constituted  most  of  the  active  players: 
Ansell,  Burhans,  Sidney  Clarke,  J.  P.  Farrell, 
Harding,  Norman  Graham,  MacLeod,  Christian 
Ott,  Edward  Ott,  Pepper,  Prentice,  Stewart, 
Stiewe,  Walker.  Loyal  rooters  will  recognize  a 
number  of  old  stand-bys  in  this  list,  but  there  is  also 
a  quantity  of  excellent  new  material  that  should 
go  far  to  improve  upon  the  excellent  start  made  by 
the  team  last  autumn.  At  that  time  Hawk-Eye 
played  independently,  but  at  the  March  meeting, 
all  tho.se  present  expressed  themselves  as  being  in 
favor  of  joining  the  Rochester  and  District  League, 
and  this  step  will  undoubtedly  be  taken.  Playing 
in  the  league  should  go  far  to  boost  this  worthy 
sport  at  Hawk-Eye.  Those  men  who  are  interested 
in  playing  the  game,  but  who  were  not  present  at  the 
meeting,  may  obtain  information  by  getting  in 
touch  with  George  An.sell  of  the  Brass  Department, 
or  "Mac"  Harding  of  the  Mounting  Department. 


All  Hawk-Eye  was  very  sorry  to  hear  of  the 
death  of  Robert  J.  Hoffman,  father  of  Carl  Hoffman 
of  the  Glass  Milling  Department,  on  February  2oth. 
We  extend  our  heartfelt  sympathy. 


John  Reis  of  the  Stock  Department,  lost  his  little 
daughter  Rita,  aged  ten  months,  on  Sunday,  Feb- 
ruary 27th.  We  wish  to  express  our  sympathy  to^VIr. 
and  Mrs.  Reis  in  their  bereavement. 


Elmore  Ingleby  has  gravitated  back  to  Hawk- 
Eye,  after  a  four-month  sojourn  at  the  Premo 
Works,  and  is  again  a  member  of  our  Cost 
Department. 


A  number  of  Hawk-Eyetes  were  fortimate  enough 
to  be  counted  in  on  a  party  given  by  Virginia  Earl 
on  Februars-  13.  Dancing,  singing  and  refresh- 
ments made  the  time  pass  all  too  quickly. 


"Louie"  Tishler  of  the  Cost  Department,  has

PITCH-Bl'TTOX  VALENTINE   PARTY 

The  Pitch  Buttoning  Department  girls  had  an- 
other one  of  their  frequent  "get-togethers"  on 
February  18th.  This  time  it  was  a  Valentine  party. 
The  dining  room,  which  was  the  scene  of  the 
revelry,  was  decorated  with  a  profusion  of  hearts 
in  honor  of  the  patron  saint.  Supper  was  served 
early,  and  needless  to  state,  it  put  the  participants 
into  high  good  humor.  This  was  improved  still 
more  by  solos  simg  by  Mildred  Miller  and  Evelyn 
Price.  Miss  Drummond  and  Lillian  Kane  executed 
a  fancy  dance  that  would  have  been  hard  to  beat. 
This  was  followerl  by  games  and  dancing,  which 
concluded  the  evening's  activities. 

The  Pitch  Buttoning  girls  are  a  very  congenial 
lot.  partly  as  a  result  of  the  various  entertainments 
which  they  have  engineered.  These  have  served 
admirably  to  bring  the  girls  closer  together  and  the 
good  times  that  have  resulted  have  been  a  source 
of  great  gratification  to  all. 


Olive  Kellett  was  hostess  at  a  very  enjoyable 
Valentine  party.  A  vocal  solo  was  rendered  by 
Hattie  Batzing,  a  story  by  "OUie"  herseU',  and  a 
poem  by  Anna  Kohler.  After  this,  games  were 
played,  and  dancing  followed.  The  latter  was 
interrupted  long  enough  to  do  justice  to  a  splendid 
lunch.  Naturally,  the  party  did  not  break  up  until 
early  morning. 


The  sincere  sympathy  of  all  of  us  goes  out  to 
Louis  Ehrmann  of  the  Tool  Room,  whose  wife  died 
on  F"riday,  February  18th,  after  a  prolonged  illness. 

William  Hill  of  the  Tool  Room,  lost  his  father  on 
Monday,  February  21st.  Hawk-Eye  feels  with 
him  deeply  in  his  bereavement. 


John  Weyh,  father  of  Foreman  Max  Weyh  of  the 
Wood  Finishing  Department,  succumbed  on  Thiu-s- 
day,  February  24th,  four  months  after  the  death 
of  his  wife.     We  extend  our  sincerest  s\nupathy. 


An  event  that  should  have  been  announced 
earlier,  but  that  escaped  us  because  of  the  reticence 
of  the  prin -ipals,  was  the  marriage  on  December 
21st  of  Miss  Lorine  Langenberger  to  John  M. 
Stefans  of  the  Brass  Department.

MAIN  OFFICE  BASKETBALL  TEAM  TAKES  A  TUMBLE 
TO  THE  CAMERA  WORKS 


AVe  are  just  such  good  sports  that  we  like  to 
shake  our  opponent's  hand  after  licking  him,  but 
we  can't  help  telling  our  joy  over  beating  the  sturdy 
Main  Office  basketball  tossers. 

This  feat  was  accomplished  on  Monday,  March 
8th,  at  Masonic  Temple.  The  pity  of  it  was  that 
the  crowd  was  so  slim  from  our  own  factory.  Those 
of  us  who  saw  the  splendid  pass  work  of  the  team, 
and  the  successful  shots  at  the  basket,  were  mighty 
glad  we  passed  up  counter  attractions  for  the  game. 

Especially  noticeable  were  the  pretty  shots  of 
that  all-around  athlete.  Charles  Kivell.     As  a  guard 


Kivell  ranks  high,  and  with  Pressley  playing  the 
other  guard,  the  combination  is  ideal.    With  Boland 
and    O'Connor    as    forwards,    and    Sandel  playing 
center,  the  aggregation  is  a  hard  one  to  beat. 
The  line  up  was  as  follows:

The  Rochester  Chamber  of  Commerce  has  for 
some  time  been  conducting  a  class  for  Safety 
Supervisors.  Almost  every  large  factory  in  this 
city  is  being  represented  at  the  meetings. 

The  attendance  has  gone  far  beyond  the  most 
optimistic  expectations.  When  a  group  of  men 
numbers  from  four  hundred  to  one  thousand  at 
each  meeting,  it  shows  the  tremendous  interest  of 
the  layman  in  safety  work. 

The  classes  are  held  each  Friday  night  at  eight 
o'clock.  Authorities  on  the  various  phases  of 
safety  precautions  lecture  and  teach  the  men  and 
women.  The  program  is  lightened  by  entertain- 
ment, one  or  two  singers  giving  their  services  to 
make  the  meetings  a  little  more  interesting. 


Our  Safety  Inspector,  Richard  Jennings,  is  natur- 
ally very  anxious  to  have  this  factory  at  the  top 
of  the  list  of  success.  At  this  time,  there  are  three 
more  meetings  of  the  series.  Each  member  who 
graduates,  receives  a  diploma,  which  not  only  is 
gratifying  in  itself,  but  the  thought  of  ha\'ing  taken 
an  active  part  to  make  conditions  safer,  makes  it 
very  desirable  to  have  a  record  of  a  perfect  attend- 
ance at  the  lectures. 

Over  one  hundred  men  and  women  registered 
from  this  plant.  A  banner  is  being  awarded  by  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  to  the  factory  having  the 
largest  pro-rata  attendance. 

Can  we  add  another  trophy  to  our  collection.^ 

Of  course  we  can. 


ONE  HUNDRED  PER  CENT.  MEANS   ZERO 

How  does  your  department  stack  up  on  the 
Green  Boards.^ 

We  notice  that  five  groups  have  already  spoiled 
their  zero  ratings. 

Of  course,  it  is  hardly  to  be  expected  that,  with 
the  dozens  of  different  machines  in  use,  everyone's 
record  can  be  a  "no  accident"  one.  but  there  is  one 
sure  truth,  that  by  carefulness  and  hard  trying  we 
can  reduce  accidents. 

Even  if  yoiu"  department  was  so  unfortunate  as 
to  lo.se  the  zero  mark  last  month,  try  again,  and 
make  up  your  mind  to  get  the  wiiniing  number 
during  the  next  tliirty  days. 

One  hvmdred  per  cent,  means  zero. 

Zero  means  no  accidents. 

No  accidents  mean  carefulness. 

Carefulness  means  "Safetv  First."

A  CHALLENGE 

The  ten-man  checker  team  hereby  issues  a 
challenge  to  any  other  team  of  a  like  nature  to  play 
a  series  of  games,  at  a  place  and  time  agreed  upon 
by  the  captains. 

This  challenge  particularly  applies  to  the  other 
divisions  of  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company. 

Communications  should  be  addressed  to  Her- 
bert S.  Thorpe,  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the

WOODWORKERS  SHOW  SPEED 

f  nder  the  able  captaincy  of  William  O'Neill,  the 
Woodworking  Department's  bowling  team  is  show- 
ing a  lot  of  speed  this  season.  Recently,  the  Office 
team  disputed  the  supremacy  of  such  king-pinners 
as  George  Kraus,  Albert  Steckline,  Frank  Metzger, 
Anthony  Barkey,  and  William  O'Neill,  who  have 
adopted  for  their  slogan,  "We  never  lose." 

The  Office  failed  to  win  from  the  redoubtable 
five,  but  the  Woodworkers,  being  good  sports,  unite 
in  wishmg  them  better  luck  next  time.

AX  ANSWER  TO  THE  WOODWORKING  RECORD 


In  last  month's  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine,  the 
Woodworking  Department  patted  itseU'  on  the  back, 
because  of  the  record  it  holds,  by  virtue  of  the  fact 
that  thirteen  of  the  men  have  a  continuous  service 
with  the  company  for  two  himdred  sixty  years. 

This  is  indeed  something  to  be  proud  of,  but  the 
Kodak  Assembling  Department  has  a  hunch  they 
have  beaten  the  Woodworkers,  and  according  to 
the  following  table,  the  Assemblers  "'take  the 
biscuit." 

Here  is  a  list  of  thirteen  men,  whose  years  of 
service  total  two  hundred  ninety-eight.

SHADOWGR.APHY 


Do  you  recollect,  back  in  your  kid  days,  when 
you  shuffled  upstairs  to  bed,  how  you  used  to  shape 
your  hands  to  make  shadows  on  the  bedroom  wall — 
how,  by  the  flicker  of  the  candle  light,  you  joyously 
formed  butterflies,  swans,  and  old  men.' 

Then,  as  you  attained  man's  estate,  you  were 
reminded  of  those  childhood  pranks  by  noticing  the 
shadows  cast  by  the  setting  sun. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  shadows  are  prevalent  all 
through  our  lives.  We  can't  prevent  them,  but  we 
can  direct  them. 

Some  shadows  are  more  pleasing  to  look  at  than 
the  originals,  and  some  originals  are  less  pleasing 
to  hear  than  the  noise  the  shadows  make. 

Don't  allow  your  shadow  to  outshine  you.  It 
isn't  the  man  with  the  longest  shadow  that  has  the 
longest  welcome.    Shadows  don't  coimt,  but  you  do. 

Be  original  I     Don't  become  a  shadow  I       Some 


men  are  worth  copying,  but,  unless  you  choose  the 
right  type  for  the  right  place,  you'll  be  out  of  luck. 
A  poet  is  useless  at  a  prize  fight,  and  a  fighter  isn't 
much  of  a  hand  at  vsTiting  literature — according  to 
the  law  of  averages. 

Think  for  yourself.  There's  many  a  possibility 
going  to  the  scrap  heap  becau.se  most  of  us  are  so 
busy  copying  the  adventures  of  heroes  in  magazine 
stories  that  we  haven't  time  —  or  we  think  we 
haven't — to  do  something  worth  while,  which  is  a 
little  out  of  the  ordinary. 

There  must  be  thousands  of  improvements  on  our 
product  which  are  awaiting  discovery.  Even 
cameras  haven't  yet  reached  perfection. 

Be  original!  Think!    Don't  play  Shadowgraphy I 

There  is  lots  of  money  awaiting  practical 
suggestions. 

Let  us  hear  from  vou. 


WE  WERE  HANDED  A  LEMON 


The  Gardening  As.sociation  has  received  a  present 
from  our  Manager,  who  recently  returned  from 
Florida.  Some  of  us  are  wondering  why  J.  A.  R. 
sent  a  lemon,  when  he  might  have  chosen  for  his 
gift  a  crate  of  grapefruit,  or  a  bunch  of  bananas.^ 
However,  ye  of  skeptical  minds  need  have  no  fear. 
The  lemon  was  sent  to  us  as  an  example  of  the  large 
and  luscious  fruit  Florida  produces,  the  weight 
being  one  and  a  quarter  pounds. 


Most  of  you  must  have  reviewed  it  in  the  bulletin 
cases,  for  it  was  an  unusually  large  and  meaty 
specimen,  and  the  juice  thereof  would  undoubtedly 
have  made  a  great  addition  to  a  "night-cap"  prior 
to  July.  1919. 

Editor's  Xote:  Charles  Rogers  takes  excep- 
tion to  the  "prior"  stuff,  and  he  assures  us  that 
lemon  juice  is  still  good  in  "night-caps"  or  "day- 
caps  "  eitherl

WE  ARE  NOT  BOASTING,  BUT— 

We  do  not  positively  know,  but  we  feel  reason- 
ably safe  in  stating  that  a  press  department,  with 
over  one  hundred  and  fifty  presses  of  all  weights, 
shapes  and  sizes,  that  has  not  had  an  accident  for 
over  five  months  has  hung  up  a  darned  good  record! 


CAMEKO  ACTIVITIES 

The  Cameko  Club  pocket  billiard  tournament 
got  under  way  on  Wednesday,  March  10th,  when 
the  first  block  was  run  off  at  Sterner's  Billiard 
Academy.  Special  lights  were  installed  over  the 
six  reserved  tables,  and  the  "cue  wizards"  executed 
some  clever  shots  which  often  drew  applause  from 
the  gallery. 

The  White  brothers  were  undefeated  in  four 
matches,  but  the  tournament  is  still  young,  and 
every  man  is  hot  on  their  trail.  "Willie"  Wilson 
pocketed  the  balls  with  uncanny  regularity  and 
"Clint"  Freudenvoll,  often  demonstrated  the  proper 
use  of  "English."  Jimmy  Wright  and  Ray  Waldron 
played  their  usual  steady  "position"  game,  but 
often  had  to  extend  themselves  to  overcome  the 
handicap  which  some  of  the  other  members  hold 
over  them.  All  in  all,  it  was  a  very  enjoyable 
evening.  The  second  block  took  place  on  March 
18th.

.\RCHIE  LOVE 


The  boys  from  the  Sawmg  and  Shaping  Depart- 
ment held  a  bowling  party  recently,  at  which 
"Buck"  Magin  was  a  feature  with  his  loaded  ball. 
A  luncheon  was  served,  and  all  had  a  jolly  good  time. 


Thi.s  desirable  state  of  affairs  exists  in  our  base- 
ment press  department.  In  fact,  all  of  Superinten- 
dent George  Adams's  departments,  namely,  the 
press,  lathe,  milling,  riveting  and  die  casting,  have 
an  absolutely  clean  slate  from  October  4,  19'20,  to 
date  of  wTiting. 

The  above  statement  doesn't  convey  all  that  it 
means,  when  given  to  you  in  cold,  hard  type,  but 
think  it  over  for  a  minute.  It  means  that  two 
hundred  and  eighty-four  operators,  working  on 
dangerous  types  of  machines,  have,  largely  through 
their  own  forethought  and  carefulness,  established 
this  fine  record. 

We  wish  we  had  sufficient  space  in  this  Mag- 
azine to  publish  the  picture  of  everyone  who 
has  helped  establish  this  record,  but  we  are  com- 
promising by  printing  a  photograph  of  .Vrcliie  I><)ve. 
who,  as  foreman  of  the  press  department,  has  done 
so  much  to  instill  the  "Safety"  idea  into  tlic  iuiiid< 
of  the  meji  who  work  with  him. 


.Vnother  bowling  league  is  l)eing  partially  sup- 
j)orted  by  the  Recreation  Club,  termed,  "The 
EKCO"  League.  It  is  rather  late  in  the  .season  for 
a  bowling  league  to  organize,  but  the  girls  .seem  to 
be  ha\nng  a  lot  of  fun,  and  they  are  bowling  remark- 
ably well,  considering  that  the  game  is  new  to  most 
of  them.  Margaret  Mathews  was  chosen  president 
of  the  league,  atid  (iordon  Dow  is  coaching  the 
girls.

CHECKER  CHATS 

Checkers  seem  to  have  their  rise  and  fall. 
Last  year,  hardly  anyone  connected  such  a 
sedentary  game  with  a  man's  idea  of  recrea- 
tion, but  right  now  we  seem  to  be  suffering 
from  an  acute  attack  of  "Checkeritis,"  and 
most  of  us  have  got  a  high  fever  with  it. 

There  are  fifty  checker  boards  being  worn 
out  in  the  factory.  No  department  or  occu- 
pation seems  immune  from  the  excitement. 
.\ccording  to  all  evidence,  we  should  have  a 
crackerjack  team,  and  a  challenge  to  other 
industrial  organizations  is  issued  elsewhere 
in  the  Camera  Works  section. 

Walter  Marcille  has  won  tlie  title  of 
"Checker  Champion"  in  the  first  round  of 
the  tournament.  Walter  lost  only  one  game, 
and  that  to  Harold  Marson.  We  hope  that 
Walter  will  have  good  luck  in  the  second  half 
of  the  contest.        

The  tool  room  has  great  hopes  of  pulling 
off  the  championship,  for  "Mike"  Hickey  is 
considered  one  of  the  best  cliecker  players  in 
the  city,  and  rumor  has  it  that  he  will 
challenge  the  high  man  in  the  final. 

It  looked  at  one  time  as  if  James  Proud 
would  reach  the  high  mark,  but  he  finished 
sixth.  We  believe  "Jimmie"  was  the  first 
man  to  ask  the  Secretary  of  the  Recreation 
Club  for  a  checker  board,  so  we  have  to  thank 
James  for  "startin'  sumpan." 

The  first  half  of  the  tournament  shows  us

A  CORRECTION 

We  are  alwa^■s  ready  to  correct  errors  in  the 
Magazine,  which  may  occur,  owing  to  the  one 
hundred  and  one  items  and  names  which  pass 
through  so  many  hands,  before  the  edition  is 
released.  On  i)age  38  of  the  last  issue,  we  stated 
that  "Downs  succeeded  in  getting  four  falls  out  of 
five":  (See  article  entitled,  "How  about  the 
Smoker!")  The  item  should  read.  "Albert  Slarks 
succeeded  in  getting  four  falls  from  Albert  Downs." 


"DETECTIVE"  O'BRIEN 

Frank  O'Brien,  apart  from  being  a  tool  expert, 
has  also  distinct  qualities  usually  attributed  to 
Sherlock  Holmes.  They  were  discovered  in  this 
way. 

Halton  Baldwin's  wife  invited  several  of  her 
husband's  friends  from  the  Camera  Works  to  a 
little  gathering,  but  none  of  them  were  informed  as 
to  the  occasion  of  the  festivities.  Naturally,  the 
men  got  curious  to  know  why  "Hal"  should  be  so 
honored  by  their  presence.  However,  the  secret 
was  surrounded  by  silence. 

Frank  O'Brien  was  called  into  conference  to  try 
to  imravel  the  mystery,  but  the  clues  being  nil,  he 
was  forced  to  resort  to  strategy,  and,  by  a  subtle 
interview  with  "Hal,"  obtained  the  information 
that  the  occasion  was  a  celebration  of  nine 
years  of  married  bliss  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Baldwin. 
Congratulations! 

John  O'Rorke,  of  the  Creasing  Department,  on 
Marcli  4th  became  the  father  of  an  eight  and  a  half 
pound  boy.  John  is  somewhat  of  a  wrestler,  and  he 
has  decided  to  train  the  boy  to  take  the  belt  away 
from  Lewis. 


Clara  Greenlan.  of  the  Covering  Department,  has 
been  away  for  a  two  weeks  vacation.  One  of  her 
companions  in  the  department  noticed  a  marriage 
license  in  the  papers,  and  Clara  was  mentioned. 
Upon  her  return,  the  girls  congratulated  her  as 
Mrs.  Charles  Stone. 


AVe  are  pleased  to  see  Frieda  Korhummel  of  the 
Crease  and  Cover  Department,  who  has  been  away 
from  us  for  several  weeks,  due  to  a  serious  illness. 
Frieda  is  recovering  nicely,  and  the  girls  welcome 
her  back  to  her  old  department. 


BASKETBALL  MEN  FINISH  STRONG     . 

The  old  adage — "It's  better  late  than  never," 
applies  to  our  men's  basketball  team  this  season. 
However,  in  spite  of  the  eleventh  hour  organization, 
the  players  and  their  followers  have  managed  to 
cram  in  several  good  games.  It  was  not  to  be 
expected  that  the  team  would  do  very  much  win- 
ning, for  in  these  days  of  intensive  playing  basket- 
ball is  a  highly  scientific  game,  calling  for  much 
practice  and  team  work. 

Credit  is  due  to  Gabriel  Rapp,  whose  efforts  are 
largely  responsiljle  for  the  games  the  team  has 
played.  We  know  there  are  many  players  who  have 
not  had  a  chance  to  show  their  ability,  but  next 
season,  being  able  to  get  an  early  start,  we  hope  to 
take  care  of  a  representative  Camera  Works 
quintette,  and  possibly  a  good  second  team  as  well.

^r^MUNirioN    TO   erflT  the  h.c.ofL 


Albert  Frank,  of  the  Tool  Room,  who  is  coach  of 
our  girls'  basketball  team,  is  an  expert  in  almost 
every  kind  of  sport.  His  latest  discovery  is 
"Yoimg"  Miller,  a  baseball  star,  who  hails  from 
up  around  Cedar  Swamp.  Miller  is  a  fast  batsman, 
and  under  Al's  masterly  handling,  will  rapidly  de- 
velop into  a  top-notcher. 

William  Lawrence,  of  the  Office,  has  returned 
after  a  month's  sickness.  He  desires  to  thank  the 
Medical  Department,  especially  Dr.  Crain  and  the 
nurses,  and  also  his  many  friends  at  the  Camera 
Works  Office,  wlio  were  so  kind  to  him.  "Billy" 
savs  he  feels  belter  than  ever. 


"\\"  Kolb  is  getting  in  trim  for  next  season's 
l)owling  team.  He  has  purcha.sed  a  new  ball, 
and  anticipates  at  least  a  three  hundred  score. 


Our  tool  room  reporter,  "Joe"  Fisher,  is  undoubt- 
edly a  good  man  on  the  links,  but  the  boys  have  no 
fear  of  his  spoiling  his  golf  by  suti'ering  from 
writer's  cramp.  It  seems  that  "Joe"  isn't  giving  the 
Tool  Room  enough  publicity,  or  else  someone  is 
jealous  of  his  journalistic  jottings. 

The  Cost  Department  was  startled  shortly  after 
(luitting  time  one  evening,  and  upon  investigation 
it  was  discovered  that  the  commotion  was  caused 
by  a  number  of  office  men  spanking  Ernest  White. 
Of  course  it  was  his  birthday. 


George  Brooks, of  theIn.spection  Department,  is  a 
happy  papa,  and  is*wearing  the  smile  usually  seen 
under  such  circurasUinces.  His  friends  enjoyed  the 
cigars  immensely,  and  they  hope  to  have  more 
smokes  to  celebrate  a  similar  occasion.

He  received  several  cuts  on  his  face.  It  is  hoped

S15,000  FOR  COURTESY 
Does  courtesy  pay.^  Ask  George  F,  Conroy,  Erie 
Railroad  conductor.  He  has  just  been  left  •Sl-5,000 
by  a  wealthy  business  man  who  was  a  regular  com- 
muter on  Conroy's  train.  This  conductor  summed 
up  his  whole  philosophy  of  work  and  life  in  the 
simple  sentence,  "I  like  to  treat  people  the  way  I 
would  like  to  be  treated." 

The  good  fortune  which  has  befallen  Conroy 
ought  to  be  made  known  throughout  the  length  and 
breadth  of  the  laud.  Politeness  oils  the  machinery 
of  life.  It  makes  things  move  more  smoothly  ami 
pleasantly  for  every  one.  And  like  mercy,  it  blesses 
him  who  gives  as  well  as  those  who  receive.  It 
therefore  costs  less  than  nothing.  It  is  one  of  the 
best  investments  in  the  world,  an  investment  that 
pays  dividends  more  valiable  than  money. — From

SOCCER  SEASON  OPENS  FIRST  WEEK  IN  APRIL 


Kodak  Park  will  be  represented  this 
year  in  the  Rochester  and  District  Soccer 
League,  National  Cup  Competition  and 
the  Northwestern  Cup  Competition,  all  of 
which  assures  the  team  of  plenty  of  action 
and  numerous  worlds  to  conquer.  This 
year,  there  will  be  seven  teams  in  the  R. 
and  D.  League,  two  new  organizations 
iiaving  been  admitted,  the  Holland  Foot- 
ball Club,  composed  entirely  of  Holland 
players,  and  our  own  Hawk-Eye  Works. 

The  opening  game  of  the  league 
schedule  will  be  played  on  the  first  Sunday 
of   April,    probably   against   the   Celtics, 


and  should  result  in  a  win  for  the  Park. 
Each  team  in  the  league  this  season  is 
allowed  eighteen  players,  and  Kodak  has 
already  secured  seventeen  who  are  under 
contract   for   the   entire   season. 

In  the  Northwestern  Cup  Comjjetition, 
which  aside  from  Rochester  clubs,  in- 
cludes teams  from  Sherrill,  Syracuse, 
Buffalo,  Niagara  Falls  and  Auburn. 
Kodak  has  a  good  chance,  if  past  experi- 
ence and  results  count  for  anything.  The 
drawing  for  this  schedule  will  be  made 
about  Mav  1st.

KODAK  PARK  RETAINS  EASTMAN  TROPHY  IN 
CAMERA  BOWLING  LEAGUE 

HANDICAP  TROPHY  WON  BY  HAWK-E\-E;  CONSOLATION  TROPHY  BY  CAMERA  WORKS 


SATURDAY,  March  l^tlu  saw  the  con- 
clusion of  the  1921  season  for  the 
Camera  Bowling  League,  Kodak  Park  re- 
taining the  Eastman  Trophy  which  they 
won  from  Camera  Works  the  preceding 
year.  Eight  games  separated  the  Ridge 
Road  pinners  from  the  Camera  Works 
team,  which  finished  in  second  place  and 
won  the  Consolation  Trophy. 

Hawk-Eye  won  the  Handicap  Trophy 
with  a  comfortable  margin  over  Premo 
and  Camera  Works. 

After  nineteen  vears  of  existence,  the 


records  of  the  Camera  Bowling  League 
show  that  the  Eastman  Trophy  has  been 
won  nine  years  by  Kodak  Park,  five  years 
by  Camera  Works,  three  years  by  Premo, 
and  two  years  by  Folmer-Century. 
Hawk-Eye  and  Kodak  Office  have  yet  to 
gain  possession  of  this  Trophy. 

Howard  Beuckman,  with  an  average  of 
^O.S.'iG,  is  high  individual  roller  for  the 
year.  Mura,  last  year's  "champ,"  dropped 
to  sixth  place  in  the  individual  standings, 
with  a  192.31  average.  Kodak  Park  holds

FATE  OF  BASEBALL  LEAGUE 
IX  DOUBT 

At  the  time  of  writing  f^SIarch  17thj. 
the  fate  of  the  Eastman  Kodak  Baseball 
League  for  the  19'21  season  is  trembling 
in  the  balance.  A  meeting  of  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  of  the  League,  which 
is  composed  of  the  five  officers  and  the 
six  team  managers,  was  held  on  March  9th 
to  determine  policies  for  the  coming  year. 

At  this  meeting  the  consensus  of 
opinion  was  that  the  interest  shown 
during  the  past  two  years  did  not  justify 
the  heaw  expenditures  necessary  for  the 
maintenance  of  a  six-team  League.  The 
counter-proposal  advanced  at  the  meet- 
ing was  that  the  League  operate  during 
1921  as  a  four-team  circuit,  and  play  a 
twelve-weeks  schedule  with  double-head- 
ers each  Saturday  afternoon  on  the  Kodak 
Park  diamond. 

Both  Premo  and  Folmer-Century  re- 
ported that  the  material  available  in 
tho.se  plants  was  not  sufficient  to  warrant 
them  in  attempting  to  enter  a  team  in 
the  League.  It  was  therefore  decided 
that  each  of  these  plants  should  vote  on 
the  idea  of  combining  with  either  Hawk- 
Eye  or  Kodak  Office  to  form  a  joint  team. 
Each  of  the  south  side  plants  is  also  to 
have  the  option  of  choosing  which,  if 
either,  of  the  other  two  teams  it  prefers 
to  join  with. 

The  above  proposals  have  been  re- 
ferred to  each  plant  athletic  association 
and  recreation  club  for  approval  or 
amendment.  Upon  the  action  of  these 
organizations  hinges  the  fate  of  theLeague 
for  this  vear. 


Joe  Sargent,  erstwhile  star  of  Camera 
Works  baseball  and  bowling  teams  has 
landed  a  berth  with  Ty  Cobb's  Detroit 
Tigers,  and  will,  doubtless,  be  seen  at  the 
hot  corner  for  the  Detroit  team  this 
season. 


The  first  annual  banquet  of  the  Kodak 
Office  Men's  Bowling  League  will  be  held 
at  the  Liederkranz,  Saturday  evening, 
April  9th.

STRIKES,  SPLITS  AND 
SPARES 

(Alley  Dust  from  the  Camera  Bowling  League) 

By  "Ochsy" 

Here's  the  last  of  the  cyclones  that  have 
been  blowhig  the  ailey-dust  into  your  eyes 
since  the  Camera  Bowling  League  started 
last  fall.  Wherever  there's  bowling,  there's 
dust;  so,  when  the  League  wakes  up  next  fall, 
after  its  long  summer  siesta,  we'll  fill  this 
column  with  dust — not  the  kind  that  makes 
your  eyes  smart — but  tlie  sort  that's  agitated 
by  bowlers,  bowling  balls  and  flying  pins. 
— "Ochsy." 

"Duke"  sez,  sez  he:  "Now  that  the  season 
is  over,  why  can't  some  of  us  gray-bearded 
veterans  of  the  alleys  keep  the  young  fellows 
in  training  for  next  season's  bowling.^  We 
can  at  least  tell  "em  and  show  'em.  But,  if 
some  of  these  here  youngsters  want  to  be  in 
my  class,  they'll  have  to  do  more  than  just 
lissen  and  watch.      I'm  tellin'  the  truth." 

Does  any  one  know  of  a  correspondence 
school  that  gives  a  course  in  bowling.^  One  of 
our  ambitious  pinners  .says  he's  heard  of  a 
school  that'll  show  a  fellow  how  to  bowl  190 
and  not  be  ashamed  of  it.  Can  anybody  help 
us  out? 


Beuckman's  high  average  of  203  for  57 
games,  is  surely  a  mark  for  next  season's 
rollers  to  shoot  at — and  miss. 

To  Kehrig,  the  Hawk-Eye  pin-smasher 
with  the  eagle  eye,  goes  the  honor  (but  no 
trophy!)  of  having  rolled  the  highest  single 
game  of  the  season,  289.  He  also  has  the  best 
total  for  three  games,  780.  Good  boy. 
Kehrig! 

Yet — all  Camera  Works  gets  for  giving 
the  Park  the  best  run  for  the  Eastman 
Trophy,  is  the  Consolation  prize.  Well,  that's 
better  than  any  honors  three  of  the  teams 
carried  away. 

The  old-timers  couldn't  get  enough  pin- 
splitting  during  the  twenty  weeks  of  the 
regular  season;  so,  on  Saturday  afternoon. 
March  19th,  the  age-old  rivals  from  Kodak 
Park  and  Camera  Works  got  together  for  a 
friendly  tussle  at  Eyer's  Alleys  on  Lake 
Avenue.  New  wood  was  provided,  and  this 
gave  the  All-Kodak  boys  some  good  training 
for  their  trip  to  Buffalo. 

Joel  Baggs  'lows  as  haow  he  heerd  there 
wan't  goin'  tuh  be  no  walk-away  in  this  here 
Camera  Bowlin'  League  next  year;  that 
there's  be  six  aggregations  fightin'  daown 
til'  stretch  'stead  o'  jist  two.

MAPPING  ROCHESTER  AT  ONE  HUNDRED 
MILES  PER  HOUR 


THE  part  played  by  aerial  photogra- 
phy in  the  winning  of  the  war  is  well 
known.  Naturally,  the  Kodak  organiza- 
tion was  foremost  in  this  work. 

About  the  time  the  United  States 
entered  the  conflict,  our  Mr.  Folmer  de- 
signed an  automatic  film  camera  called 
the  Model  "F,"  which  took  a  picture 
6  x6"  in  size.  ^Yhen  this  camera  was  com- 
pleted, it  was  taken  to  Buffalo,  and,  with 
the  co-operation  of  the  Curtiss  Aeroplane 
Corporation,  a  flight  was  made  over  the 
Buffalo-Tonawanda  highway,  with  very 
satisfactory  results.  The  United  States 
Government,  however,  hesitated  about 
adopting  the  use  of  film,  and  insisted  on 


t  he  employment  of  plate  cameras.  Three 
different  models,  of  English  design,  each 
taking  a  4  x  5  picture,  were  submitted, 
and  orders  placed  for  some  of  each.  None 
of  them,  however,  proved  entirely  sat- 
isfactory. 

In  the  meantime,  the  Allies,  finding  it 
necessary,  on  account  of  the  anti-air- 
craft guns,  to  fly  higher  and  higher, 
adopted  the  use  of  cameras  taking  a 
picture  18  x  24  centimeters,  and  using  a 
SO-inch  focus  lens. 

Thereupon,  the  Folmer  "F"  type  was 
re-designed,  and  made  18  x  '24  centimet- 
ers. It  was  also  re-christened  the  East- 
man Topographic  Camera,   Model  K-1.

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


After  a  series  of  tests,  this  model  was 
adopted  as  the  official  camera,  not  only  by 
the  United  States  Air  Service,  but  by  the 
Allied  Governments  as  well.  An  initial 
order  for  one  hundred  was  placed,  and 
arrangements  were  made  to  increase  pro- 
duction to  six  hundred  per  month,  but, 
before  any  further  orders  were  placetl,  the 
Armistice  was  signed. 

Simultaneously  with  our  work  on  the 
K-1,  the  Camera  Works  had  been  ex- 
perimenting with  the  Eastman  Mapping 
Camera.  This  model  was  developed  by 
^Ir.  Benjamin  Chamberlin,  working  under 
instructions  from  Mr.  Robertson.  Inas- 
much as  the  Government  was  interested 
in  this  model,  we  decided  to  continue 
these  experiments.  Looking  around  for  a 
competent  man  to  assist  in  promoting  the 
development  of  aerial  photography.  Cap- 
tain John  Gordon,  Jr.,  was  engaged. 
Captain  Gordon  had  had  considerable 
experience  with  aerial  photography,  both 
in  this  country  and  abroad,  and  was 
familiar  with  the  commercial  side.  The 
results  secured  proved  our  choice  to  have 
been  a  wise  one.  When  the  camera  was 
completed,  negotiations  were  undertaken 


with  Brigadier-General  William  ^litchell. 
of  the  United  States  Air  Service,  with  the 
result  that  Captain  A.  W.  Stevens  and 
Lieutenant  C.  M.  Potter  were  detailed 
with  two  mechanics  and  a  DeHaviland  4 
special  photographic  plane  to  come  to 
Rochester  to  try  out  the  new  instrument. 

They  arrived  on  September  19,  19'-20, 
and  Captain  Stevens  remained  until 
January  6th  of  this  year.  The  others  had 
to  leave  in  November,  as  Lieutenant 
Potter  was  mustered  out  of  the  service  on 
the  loth  of  that  month. 

Equipped  with  this  camera,  on  October 
'-23,  19''20.  Captain  Stevens  and  Lieutenant 
Potter  started  aloft  to  map  our  city. 
They  had,  first  of  all,  to  reach  the  altitude 
of  10,000  feet  at  which  the  map  was  made. 
Arrived  at  this  altitude,  they  flew  back 
and  forth  across  the  city  in  six  parallel 
flights.  Their  course  was  so  steered  as  to 
allow  for  a  60'^(^  overlap  one  way,  and 
'25':x  the  other.  The  negatives  were  made 
in  one  hour  and  twenty  minutes,  actual 
flying  time.  A  rough  estimate  of  the  dis- 
tance covered  is  one  hundred  miles.  Thus, 
you  see,  the  map  was  made  at  a  speed  of 
about  one  hundred  miles  an  hour.      The

camera  was  equipped  with  a  l-^-inch  lens, 
and  Eastman  Panchromatic  Fihn  was 
used  with  a  K-'-2  filter. 

The  mosaic,  shoAvn  on  page  .'J,  which 
consists  of  a  series  of  8'-2  photographs,  was 
put  together  by  Captain  Gordon.  "One 
of  the  best  mosaics  ever  made"  is  the  way 
it  has  been  described  by  all  who  have 
seen  it.  It  is  so  good,  indeed,  that  it  was 
reproduced  in  the  Xew  York  Tribune  for 
January  '-23,  19'-21,  and  also  in  the  March 
issue  of  the  National  Geographic  Maga- 
zine. Indicative  of  the  high  quality  of  the 
mapping  is  the  fact  that  no  correction  was 
necessary.  To  make  a  mosaic  of  a  city  of 
this  size  without  the  necessity  for  any 
correction  is  indeed  an  achievement. 

While  in  Rochester,  Captain  Stevens 
also  tried  out  the  Folmer  Type  M.  18  x  ^24 
cm.  plate  camera,  fifty  of  which  were 
made  for  the  United  States  Government 
during  the  war.       This  model,  however. 


has  not  been  made  commercially  on  ac- 
count of  its  weight.  A  K-1  camera  was 
also  constructed  for  oblique  work,  and 
some  excellent  pictures  were  made. 
Among  these  was  one  of  our  Kodak  Park 
plant.  The  picture  of  Exposition  Park 
is  the  only  one  here  reproduced  which 
was  made  with  the  type  M.  However,  a 
number  of  others  were  taken  with  this 
model. 

Captain  Stevens  had  planned  to  make 
a  second  mosaic  of  Rochester  with  the 
F.  &  S.  Model  K-1.  Unfortunately,  he 
was  unable  to  do  this,  because  of  poor 
weather  conditions,  and  the  fact  that 
Lieutenant  Potter  had  to  leave.  How- 
ever, as  he  had  made  several  good  mosaics 
with  this  camera,  before  coming  to 
Rochester,  Captain  Stevens  expressed 
himself  as  satisfied  with  regard  to  the 
practicability  of  this  instrument,  which 
we  are  now  selling  for  commercial  purposes.

When  a  doctor  i.s  called  in  to  see  a 
patient,  he  would  much  prefer  to  find 
nothing  serious  the  matter;  to  be  able  to 
smile,  hand  the  patient  a  few  sugar- 
coated  pills,  and  say:  "You'll  be  all 
right  tomorrow." 

Quite  often  though,  he  3nds  that  he 
has  a  real  job  on  his  hands;  one  calling 
for  heroic  measures,  and  treatment  any- 
thing but  pleasant  if  the  patient  is  to 
recover. 

Sick  businesses  likewise  have  their  doc- 
tors, and  many  well  ones  have  found  it 
advisable  to  employ  their  services  to 
insure  a  continued  healthy  condition. 
Individuals  have  found  it  easy  to  secure 
the  services  of  a  physician  to  look  after 
their  physical  welfare,  but  have  given 
little  or  no  thought  as  to  the  value  of 
advice  in  keeping  their  financial  condition 
in  health. 

The  trouble  is  that  when  our  financial 
condition  is  headed  for  a  rock,  we  rarely 
see  the  rock  until  we  pile  up  on  it;  it  is 
almost  always  something  luiexpected — 
something  that  we  have  failed  to  provide 
a  cash  anchor  for  that  wrecks  our  craft. 


Your  regular  physician  will  tell  you 
not  to  overtax  yourself,  and  to  plan  and 
follow  a  correct  method  of  living  if  you 
are  to  retain  your  health.  Your  financial 
physician  would  tell  you  the  same  thing 
but  putting  it  this  w^ay:  live  always 
within  your  income,  and  plan  a  budget 
of  your  expenses.  Most  of  us  are  a 
happy-go-lucky  lot,  with  but  little  thought 
for  the  future,  as  long  as  we  are  on  some- 
body's payroll.  Some  one  has  called  us  a 
nation  of  "weekers;"  we  bound  our  hori- 
zon from  weekly  pay  day  to  w^eekly  i)ay 
day,  and  fail  to  look  beyond. 

Just  as  sure  as  night  follows  day,  there 
comes  a  time  to  all  of  us  when  extra 
money  is  needed.  If  we  have  the  neces- 
sary umbrella  for  the  rainy  day — "it's  a 
grand  and  glorious  feeling;"  if  not,  it  is 
humiliating  to  say  the  least. 

The  best  way  to  learn  to  live  within 
your  income  is  to  plan  the  use  of  your 
income;  a  budget  system.  Figure  your 
weekly  wage  as  one  hundred  per  cent.; 
then  allow  a  fixed  per  cent,  for  rent, 
food,  clothing,  fuel  and  light,  entertain- 
ment, savings  account,  insurance  and 
mi.scellaneous.  These  percentages  will 
naturally  vary  with  different  individuals 
and  families,  but  a  little  experimenting 
will  allow  you  to  put  it  on  a  working 
basis,  and  when  you  have  it  once  in 
working  order — stick  to  it. 


"Practice  what  you  preach"  and  "An 
honest  confession  is  good  for  the  soul," 
are  copy  book  maxims  familiar  to  most 
old  timers. 

We  have  been  talking  the  advantages 
of  economy  and  thoughtfid  saving  in 
these  columns  on  occasion,  and  the  above 
maxims  came  most  forcibly  to  mind  the 
other  evening  when  a  table  drawer  at 
home  disclosed  a  good  big  handful  of 
pencils,  of  varying  lengths,  stamped 
"Kodak."  Now  these  pencils  cost  the 
company  money,  in  fact  between  five  and 
six  thousand  dollars  per  year  goes  for 
this  one  item,  and  so  we  are  sort  of 
wondering  how  many  of  the  rest  of  you 
have  been  equally  guilty  in  this  respect.

EAT  RIGHT  TO   KEEP  RIGHT 

DR.  W.  A.  SAWYER.  MEDICAL  DIRECTOR 


THE  old  sayiiiii':  "Tell  me  what  yoii 
eat  and  I'll  tell  you  what  you  are." 
is  quite  as  true  today  as  when  it  was  said 
more  than  two  hundred  years  ago  by  a 
European  gastronomist.  In  fact,  we  are 
taking  it  into  account  more  and  more  in 
our  everyday  life.  The  old  illustration 
of  the  likeness  of  the  human  l^ody  to  a 
locomotive  is  perhajis  the  best  way  to 
bring  the  subject  of  food,  and  what  it 
does  for  us,  to  our  attention. 

The  huge  locomotive  is  cai'efulhs^ 
planned  and  built  of  various  materials 
chosen  with  ])ainstaking  care:  iron,  steel, 
copper  and  brass.  These  are,  however, 
of  no  use  until  steam  is  generated  by 
burning  fuel  in  its  huge  firebox.  The  fuel 
must  l)e  clean,  of  high  combustible  value 
and  free  from  all  foreign  substances  like 
stone  and  slag.  This  supplies  the  energy 
enabling  the  engine  to  move  on  the  steel 
tracks,  and  haul  behind  it  huge  loads. 
Added  to  the  fuel  are  oil  and  water.  In 
order  to  prevent  friction,  the  machine  is 
carefully  oiled,  and  the  water  used  in  the 
boiler  must  be  of  a  certain  quantity  and 
of  definite  purity,  in  fact,  there  must  l)e 
nothing  out  of  place  or  a  wear  will  result 
which  will  cause  the  machinery  to  run 
badly  and  with  a  loss  of  energy. 

Human  Body  lAkc  Machine 

The  human  body  is  a  machine  like  this, 
but  with  the  added  burden  of  repairing 
the  body  tissue  itself.  Ii\  the  case  of  a 
locomotive,  the  iron  and  steel  are  as- 
sembled into  an  inactive  machine  and 
the  burning  fuel,  and  water  and  oil 
simply  are  the  means  whereby  the  loco- 
motive is  changed  into  a  machine  of 
energy.  The  human  body  builds  its  own 
tissue  and  creates  its  energy  for  all 
physical  and  mental  activities.  When  we 
consider  these  things,  we  can  see  how  true 
is  the  statement  at  the  beginning,  "Tell 
me  what  you  eat  and  Til  tell  you  what 
you  arc,"  tor  physical  vigor  is  tli(>  funda- 


mental basis  of  health,  enjoyment, 
achievement  and  long  life,  and  every  con- 
sideration should  be  given  to  securing 
]:)roper  food. 

To  know  what  to  eat  we  must  know 
what  food  is,  and  the  definition  now 
accepted  is  that  "food  is  anything  which 
taken  into  the  body  is  assimilated  and 
becomes  part  of  the  body."  Foods  con- 
sist of  the  carbohydrates,  starches  and 
sugars;  the  fats;  the  proteins,  which  are 
all  lean  meats  and  eggs;  mineral  matter 
which  we  find  in  vegetables;  water;  and 
the  vitamines. 

Discovery  of  J'iiamines 

Experimenters  have,  during  the  past 
few  years,  found  a  new  substance  or  set 
of  substances  which  are  necessary  to 
health  and  growth.  They  were  first 
found  by  Casimir  Funk,  who  called  them 
Vitamines — n'fci  meaning  life — amine,  a 
j^rotein  compouufl,  or  necessary  to  life. 
These  are  now  considered  to  be  of  three 
classes  and  are  found  in  milk  and  its 
products,  and  in  leafy  vegetables,  ami  in 
most  fruits.  A  few  years  ago,  we  thought 
that  if  we  had  so  many  calories  of  food  a 
day,  we  were  having  proper  food  if  there 
was  a  fair  proportion  of  each  of  these 
food  elements.  We  know  now  that  we 
must  hiive  foods  which  contain  what  are 
now  known  as  "protective  foods"  in  a 
goodly  proportion.  The.se  protect ives  are 
milk  and  milk  products  and  all  green 
leafy  vegetables,  because  they  contain 
the    vitamines. 

The  problem  is  to  combine  these  classes 
of  food — water  and  the  organic  salts  or 
minerals,  sugar  and  fat;  and  the  j)rotein 
grouj),  together  with  the  vitamines  so  that 
the  salts  and  minerals  nuiy  properly 
build  and  effectively  replace  waste  tissues; 
while  the  starch,  sugar  and  fat  furnish 
heat  and  energy  without  burning  out  the 
linings  of  the  physiological  boilers  or 
rusting  the  flues. 

The  proteins  are  the  most   inij)ortant

not  only  because  they  rejilace  worn  tis- 
sue but,  because,  if  their  debris  is  left 
in  the  alimentary  firebox  as  organic 
clinkers  and  ashes,  it  chokes  the  fires 
and  causes  all  sorts  of  jjoisons  to  be  sent 
through  the  system. 

Starches  and  sugars  are  also  import- 
ant, though  we  do  not  need  them  in 
anywhere  near  the  large  quantities  we 
have  thought  necessary. 

Fats  are  essential  and  as  much  should 
be  eaten  as  the  liver  and  the  intestinal 
glands  can  take  care  of.  Both  animal 
and  vegetable  fats  are  changed  in  the 
intestines  into  glycerine  and  soap.  These 
are  the  products  which  nature  provides  as 
laxatives  in  our  digestive  system. 

Water  is  the  universal  solvent — in  the 
body  as  well  as  out — and  must  be  used 
generously  between  meals  as  well  as  at 
meals.  But  cool  water,  not  iced  water, 
should  be  used.  Iced  water  chills  the 
body  and  retards  secretions.  Drink  at 
least  eight  glasses  of  water  a  day. 

Balanced  Diet  Essential 

A  one-sided  diet  is  never  w^ise — all  meat 
is  not  good — neither  is  all  vegetable.  One 
authority  who  has  recently  done  much 
good  investigation  calls  attention  to  the 
cow  which  does  no  work  other  than  to 
digest  the  vegetable  food  which  she  eats 
and  to  get  it  ready  for  human  consumption 
either  as  milk  or  later  as  meat.  In  other 
words,  all  her  energy  is  used  for  digestion. 

For  many  years  agriculturists  have 
known  that  to  get  certain  results  with 
both  plants  and  animals,  care  must  be 
taken  with  their  food.  For  illustration, 
if  a  rich  growth  of  leaves  is  desired  as  in 
spinach,  a  different  plant  food  is  used 
than  for  a  strong  root  growth  as  in  turnips. 
If  i)oultry  is  being  fed  for  eating,  chick- 
ens are  fed  foods  to  fatten,  a  much 
different  matter  than  when  fed  foods  rich 
in  mineral  to  induce  them  to  lay  eggs. 
Horses  are  fed  differently  when  they  are 
drawing  heavy  loads  all  day,  tlian  when 
they  are  prepared  for  races. 

The  human  family  on  the  other  hand, 
has  disregarded  itself  for  years,  and  has 


not  attempted  to  correct  the  results  of 
bad  habits  of  eating,  until  recently,  by 
preventive  measures.  The  old  saying  of 
locking  the  barn  door  after  the  horse  has 
been  stolen  is  an  apt  illustration  of  our 
eating  methods.  AVhen  a  man  becomes 
ill,  he  finds  a  doctor  and  dislikes  to  believe 
authority  which  now  says  that  ninety 
per  cent,  of  all  sickness  is  the  result  of 
bad  food  habits  and  could  be  avoided. 
And  if  diseases  are  caused  by  bad  food 
habits,  they  can  be  largely  corrected  by 
the  return  to  good  food  habits. 

A  mixed  diet  of  meat  and  vegetable 
foods  which  contain  protective  foods, 
milk  and  leafy  vegetables,  plus  water  and 
fresh  air,  will  maintain  normal  health.  It 
is  much  better  to  spend  money  for  butter 
than  for  sugar;  butter  substitutes  do  not 
take  the  place  of  butter. 

Since  the  locomotive  cannot  run  with- 
out being  sound  in  all  its  parts  and  care- 
fully oiled,  and  steam  cannot  be  gener- 
ated without  good  clean  fuel,  and  a  fire- 
box free  from  ashes,  and  a  sufficient 
supply  of  waste — isn't  it  evident  that 
men  and  women  w^ho  thought  out  the 
locomotive  and  other  machinery  ought 
to  give  attention  to  their  own  body 
machine — sup})lying  it  with  proper  food 
materials,  proper  air  and  proper  exercise 
that  they  may  exercise  their  function  and 
live  to  tlieir  full  possibilities?

ALONG  ABOUT  THIS  TIME 


SOME  morning  along  about  this  time 
of  year,  when  yon  scent  the  aroma  of 
the  breakfast  coffee.  Friend  Wife  will 
call  out  to  you,  "Oh!  Jim,  I  wish  you 
would  bring  down  that  extra  clothes  line 
from  the  attic,  and  see  if  you  can  find 
that  rug  beater" — and  when  you  get 
down  stairs,  you  find  Friend  Wife  with 
her  sleeves  rolled  up  and  a  towel  around 
her  hair,  and  all  the  living  room  furniture 
out  on  the  front  porch;  then  you  know 
spring  house  cleaning  time  has  arrived. 

By  the  same  token  if  you  should  happen 
to  drop  into  any  one  of  the  fire  houses, 
you  would  notice  an  extra  air  of  alertness 
on  the  part  of  the  crew,  and  if  you  should 
happen  to  be  on  speaking  terms  with  the 
Captain  in  charge  and  ask  "How  come?" 
he  would  laconically  remark,  "House 
Cleaning  Time." 

You  see  the  average  housewife  knows 
the  temper  of  her  spouse  when  things  are 
all  mussed  up,  and  so  she  rushes  things 
through,  and  in  consecjuence,  many  fires 
occur  through  lack  of  her  usual  caution. 

Bt'irarc  the  Bonfire! 

A  lot  of  rubbish  has  accumulated,  and 
to  get  rid  of  it  speedily,  a  bonfire  is  in 
order  in  the  backyard;  sometimes  it  is 
placed  too  close  to  a  fence  or  some  out- 
building, or  the  dead  grass  or  weeds 
happen  to  be  dry  and  the  bonfire  spreads 
beyond  control.  If  a  bonfire  just  has  to 
be,  be  sure  to  ha\'e  a  few  pails  of  water 
or  the  garden  hose  handy,  and  put  some- 
one in  charge  to  look  after  it,  so  that  if  it 
becomes  obstreperous  it  can  be  i)r()mptly 
squelched. 

Quite  too  often  a  bunch  of  oily  rags  or 
an  oil  mop  is  packed  in  a  closet  where 
spontaneous  combustion  can  occur — and 
most  usually  does. 

In  many  of  the  older  houses  gas  jets 
are  bracketed  from  the  side  walls;  often 
close  to  a  window.  The  first  warm  eve- 
ning, someone  may  open  the  window, 
and  the  otherwise  welcome  breeze  blows 
a  lace  curtain  into  a  lighted  jet. 


Dry  cleaning  of  garments  is  another 
fruitful  source  of  fire  and  accident.  In 
one  of  the  well-known  magazines  there 
appeared  some  months  ago  a  series  of 
articles  on  the  use  of  gasoline  for  dry- 
cleaning  at  home.  Although  the  reader 
was  warned  against  some  of  the  dangers, 
the  impression  was  unfortunately  left 
that  gasoline,  while  dangerous,  is  not  as 
bail  as  it  is  painted  and  that  it  may  be 
used  for  any  kind  of  cleaning.  There  are 
hazards  which  have  contributed  largely 
to  the  list  of  accidents  which  were  not 
spoken  of  at  all,  and  which  should  be 
called  to  the  attention  of  the  prospective 
user. 

Electricity 

No  mention  whatever  was  made  of  the 
"static  electricity,"  which  is  invariably 
generated  when  silks,  furs  or  woolens  are 
rubbed,  and  which  often  forms  a  spark 
which  is  quite  sufficient  to  set  fire  to  the 
gasoline.  This,  in  many  cases,  has  been 
responsible  for  serious  explosions,  even 
where  the  rules  for  avoiding  lights  or 
fires  have  been  religiously  obeyed. 

Gasoline  is  highly  volatile  and.  when 
agitated,  it  evajjorates  all  the  more 
readily.  The  explosive  force  of  one  gallon 
when  properly  mixed  with  air,  is  ecjual  to 
that  of  eighty  pounds  of  dynamite.  E^•en 
in  professional  cleaning-and-dyeing  works, 
where  every  eftort  is  made  to  remove  the 
electricity,  serious  accidents  have  occurred 
from  this  cause. 

Mention  was  also  made  of  the  advisa- 
bility of  keeping  several  gallons  on  hand 
"in  a  liasement,  or  outside  storehouse." 
The  underwriters'  rules  and  state  laws  are 
very  strict  on  this  topic  and  in  some  locali- 
ties the  possession  of  three  gallons  in  a 
home  will  invalidate  the  fire  insurance 
on  that  j)roperty. 

Wherever  possible,  use  carbon  tetra- 
chloride or  some  of  its  near  relatives  (Car-

be  careful  and  observe  the  following 
rules : 

Don't  keep  it  in  your  cellar  or  basement, 
where  the  heavy  fumes  may  accunuilate 
and  cause  a  dangerous  condition. 

Don't  keep  it  in  a  glass  jar  or  })ottle 
which  may  break  or  be  overturned.  Use 
one  of  the  red,  standard,  approved 
"safety  cans,"  and  even  then  keep  only 
a  little  on  hand. 

Don't  strain  it  through  a  chamois-skin. 

Don't  clean  furs,  skins,  woolens  or 
stiff  silks  with  it. 

Don't  use  benzine, benzol,  or  ether  at  all. 

Some  wag,  with  an  eye  to  safety  first 
nevertheless,  has  promulgated  the  follow- 
ing list  of  unlucky  omens,  which  we  may 
all  do  well  to  heed: 

"If  you  dream  of  smelling  smoke,  it  is 


a  sign  you  are  asleep  and  had  better  wake 
up." 

"To  see  a  paper  hanger  j^apering  over 
a  flue  hole  indicates  an  imj^ending  loss." 

"If  you  can  see  your  shadow  from  an 
oil  lamp,  while  filling  a  gasoline  stove,  it 
indicates  a  crowd  of  people  coming  to 
your  house." 

"It  is  bad  luck  to  look  in  a  dark  closet 
with  a  lighted  match." 

"When  the  wind  moans  it  is  extremely 
bad  luck  to  burn  trash  near  the  house." 

"If  you  smell  gas  or  gasoline  and  look 
for  it  with  a  light,  it  foretells  you  are 
about  to  start  on  a  long  journey." 

"Even  if  your  house  and  furniture  are 
covered  by  insurance,  it  is  extremely 
unlucky  to  have  them  burn  on  PViday,  the 
13th  (or  any  other  day). 


INDUSTRY'S  HUMANITARIAN— THE  VISITING  NURSE 


TIXG-A-LING-A-LING,  the  doorbell 
rings !  A  young  woman  stands  on  the 
doorstep.  The  knob  is  turned,  the  door 
is  opened  a  crack,  and  a  pair  of  question- 
ing eyes  gaze  at  the  intruder.  A  polite 
"No,  thank  you,  I  do  not  care  for  any 
books  today,"  is  met  by  the  quick  re- 
joinder: "But,  I  am  not  a  book  agent,  I 
am  the  Visiting  Nurse  from  Kodak."  "I 
beg  your  pardon,"  comes  the  apologetic 
reply,  "do  come  right  in,"  and  the  young 
woman — no  longer  a  stranger — is  ushered 
in,  an  honored  guest. 

Did  the  Visiting  Nurse  ever  knock  at 
your  door?  And,  did  you  wonder  what 
her  errand  might  be?  You  will  be  in- 
terested to  know  that  the  Employment 
Office  of  each  plant  informs  the  Visiting 
Nurse  when  you  have  been  absent  five 
successive  days.  Or  if  it  happens  that 
you  have  been  taken  suddenly  ill  and  your 
department  head  knows  that  you  are  liv- 
ing alone,  and  is  anxious  about  you,  he 
will  notify  the  Visiting  Nurse  imme- 
diately and  she  will  come  to  your  aid  as 
soon  as  she  possibly  can.  This  call 
oftentimes   proves   to   be   the   proverbial 


ounce  of  prevention  which  averts  a  serious 
illness.  You  will  now^  understand  why  it 
is  of  great  importance  that  your  Employ- 
ment Office  should  be  notified  imme- 
diately of  a  change  of  address.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  cause  of  your  absence  may 
not  be  known,  and  in  that  case,  the 
Visiting  Nurse  calls  to  ascertain  if  her 
assistance  is  needed. 

Although  she  does  not  prescribe,  she 
is  enabled  to  secure  for  you  such  at- 
tention as  may  lead  to  a  more  rapid  re- 
covery. Her  services  are  extended  not 
only  to  you,  but  also  to  any  member  of 
your  household,  whom  you  may  wish  her 
to  help. 

You  must  realize  that  while  you  are 
absent,  someone  has  to  take  your  place. 
When  the  Visiting  Nurse  informs  the  head 
of  your  department  as  to  your  probable 
period  of  absence,  he  is  in  position  to  meet 
the  emergency  to  the  best  advantage.  In 
this  way,  ])roduction  can  be  kept  normal 
and  the  resulting  prosperity  to  Kodak  is 
your  prosperity.  So,  when  the  Msiting 
Nurse  conies  to  your  door,  remember 
why  she  comes — to  help  you.

STOCK  DISTRIBUTION 

STATUS  OF  THE  EMPLOYEES  LAID  OFF  OWING  TO  LACK  OF  WORK 


JT  has  been  decided  tliat  enii)loyees 
who  hold  Managers  Certificates  for  the 
common  stock  of  the  company,  and  who 
are  laid  off  owing  to  lack  of  work  before 
the  maturity  of  their  certificates,  will 
lose  none  of  their  rights  under  the  plan 
for  sale  of  common  stock  to  employees, 
provided  they  return  to  the  employ  of 
the  company  with  reasonable  promptness 
after  notification  to  return. 

If  not  requested  to  return  to  work 
before  the  maturity  of  their  Managers 
Certificates,  their  standing  will  not  be 
affected  and  they  will  be  allowed,  when 
the  certificates  mature  and  the  stock 
has  been  paid  for,  to  exchange  their 
Managers  Certificates  for  shares  of  stock 
and  deposit  certificates,  the  same  as  other 
employees. 

Employees  who  have  not  become 
eligible  to  apply  for  common  shares  on 
the  basis  of  five  years  continuous  service 
at  the  time  when  laid  off,  owing  to  lack 
of  work,  will  be  allowed,  in  case  they  re- 
turn to  the  employ  of  the  comjiany  with 
reasonable  promptness  after  notification 
to  return,  to  continue  to  apply  for  shares 


from  year  to  year;  the  application  to  be 
based  on  the  actual  wage  or  salary  paid 
them  until  they  have  completed  five  years 
actual  service  in  all. 

Employees  who  are  laid  off  before  they 
have  become  eligible  to  apply  for  shares 
on  the  basis  of  five  years  employment,  and 
who  are  not  requested  to  return  to  the 
employ  of  the  com])any,  will  not  be  en- 
titled to  any  ])articipation  in  the  plan  for 
sale  of  common  stock  to  employees,  be- 
yond what  thev  had  applied  for  when 
laid  off. 

Boiled  down,  the  foregoing  means  that 
any  break  in  the  service  of  an  employee, 
due  to  his  being  laid  off  from  lack  of 
work,  will  not  affect  his  rights  as  to  the 
purchase  of  common  stock  of  the  com- 
pany which  he  was  entitled  to  apply  for 
when  he  left,  jjrovided  he  returns  to 
work  within  a  reasonable  time  after  noti- 
fication to  return.  Upon  his  return,  his 
time  will  be  extended  until  it  covers  five 
years  actual  service.  If  not  notified  to 
return  to  work,  he  will  not  be  entitled  to 
apply  for  further  shares  under  the  Stock 
Distribution  Plan. 


KODAK  EMPLOYEES  ASSOCIATION 


THE  regular  meeting  of  the  Directors 
of  Kodak  Employees  Association  was 
held  April  13th,  lO^^i,  at  four  o'clock  in 
the  afternoon.  All  of  the  directors  were 
present  except  Mr.  Eastman,  Mr. Havens 
and  Mr.  Reid. 

Mr.  Haight,  Mr.  Gorham,  ^Fr.  Turner 
and  ]Mr.  Robinson  also  met  with  the  Hoard. 

Tlie  Treasurer's  report  for  the  montli  of 
March  was  presented  to  the  meeting  and 
accepted. 

One  application  for  a  second  mortgage 
loan  was  submitted  to  the  meeting  and 
approved. 

The  Secretary  reported  fifteen  mortgage 


loans  closed  since  the  last  meeting  of  the 
Board. 

A  resolution  was  adopted  reducing  the 
amount  of  interest  on  relief  loans  from 
six  per  cent,  to  four  per  cent,  commencing 
May  first  next. 

If  you  can't  smile,  be  examined.  There 
may  be  poison  in  body  and  mind.  Get 
it  out. 

Success  is,  after  all,  the  factors  of  good 
judgment  lieing  in  the  ascendency,  and 
triumphing  over  the  handicap  of  errors 
that  can  hardly  be  avoided.  The  success- 
ful ones  win  on  balance.

ACQUIRE  THE  SAFE  STATE  OF  MIND 


An  accident  that  occurred  in  front  of  the  Premo 
factory  recently,  goes  to  show  how  quickly  a  life 
may  be  snatched  out  of  existence.  A  small  terrier 
ran  directly  into  the  path  of  an  approaching  auto- 
mobile. The  driver  of  the  car  tried  his  best  to 
avoid  hitting  the  animal.  l)ut  the  dog,  as  if  imitating 
some  human  beings.  l)ecame  confused,  was  struck 
and  instantly  killed. 

Many  employees  run  carelessly  across  South 
Street  in  the  very  same  fashion  the  canine  did.  Man 
is  a  peculiar  animal.  He  does  not  wilfully  injure 
himself,  but  he  carelessly  places  himself  in  danger- 
ous surroundings  or  conditions  and  invites    injury. 


Safety  is  a  state  of  mind.  If  one  acquires  a  safe 
mind,  appreciating  and  thinking  safety,  he  is  a  safe 
man.  He  will  walk  and  act  accordingly,  missing 
dangers  himself  and  helping  others  avoid  them. 
Thousands  of  people  never  get  hurt  hecau.se  they 
think  and  act  safely.  They  have  acquired  the  safe 
state  of  mind. 

Today  when  you  leave  the  plant,  rememljer  the 
fate  that  befell  the  dog.  And.  before  you  step  from 
the  curb  to  hurry  across  the  street,  look  both  ways! 
Get  the  safe  state  of  mind!  Think  Safety  I  Boost 
Safety!      .\ct  Safely!    Enjoy  Safety! 


GRADUATES  FROM  IXDUSTRL\L  SAFETY  SUPERVISORS  SCHOOL 


In  the  Assembly  Hall  of  the  Rochester  Chamber 
of  Commerce  on  the  evening  of  .\pril  1st.  Premo 
employees  completed  a  course  of  thirteen  lessons 
on  accident  prevention  work.  The  able  speakers, 
who  had  been  procured  to  impart  to  all  who  attend- 
ed this  school  their  own  experience  in  Safetv  Work, 
brought  forth  a  great  many  questions.  This  helped 
to  solve  many  of  the  accident  problems  that  were 
submitted.  Out  of  the  fifty-eight  Premo  employees 
who  enrolled  for  this  cour.se,  thirty-five  received 
diplomas.  Their  names  follow:

All  departments  were  represented  except  four. 
Premo  can  feel  justly  proud  to  know  tliat  thirty-five 
employees  from  the  Works  completed  the  course. 
We  hope  to  see  a  big  reduction  in  accidents  in 
Rochester,  and  in  our  plant,  as  a  result  of  this 
school. 


BASKETB.\LL  GIRLS  CLOSE  SEASOX 

After  finishing  its  most  successful  season,  the 
Premo  girls"  basketball  team  has  hung  up  its  suits 
until  the  next  game  comes  in  sight.  The  thing 
paramount  in  the  minds  of  the  Premo  girls 
is  winning  the  city  championship.  Homer  Ran- 
som, the  manager,  can  feel  justly  proud  of  these 
players,  as  the  team  ended  the  season  with  a  number 
of  games  showing  in  the  "won"  column. 


The  announcement  of  the  winners  of  our  essay 
contest,  which  closed  March  31st.  will  appear  in 
the  next  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine,  with  the 
winning  essays. 


JIST  SMILE! 

If  you  are  one  of  the  early  morning  birds  who 
arrive  fir.st  and  are  in  the  group  waiting  for  the 
sound  of  the  signal  to  start  work,  why  not  prepare 
a  "good  old  smile"  for  the  fellow  worker  who  arrives 
a  little  later  and  greets  you  with  "good  morning?" 
Surel.\'  this  is  a  small  matter  and  you  will  be  sur- 
prised how  much  Ijetter  it  will  make  you  feel. 
It  requires  not  much  energy,  but  the  use  of  more 
facial  muscles  to  produce  a  frown.     So  smile! 


It  is  not  the  mistakes  we  make  that  retard  us. 
but  our  inability  or  unwillingness  to  learn  the 
lesson  that  these  mistakes  teach  us.

"From  Rochester,  to  Adrien.  Michigan,  to  Saline,

and  Premo." 

That's  the  record  that  Harold  H.  Hallock  has 
hnng  up  in  the  last  nine  years.  For  seven  years 
previous  to  his  change  to  Adrien.  Mr.  Hallock  was 


HAROLD  H.   HALLOC  K 

superintendent  of  the  American  Drafting  and 
Furniture  Company  in  this  city.  After  a  period  of 
managing  the  Economy  Drafting  Table  Company  at 
Adrien,  he  moved  to  Saline,  Michigan,  where  he 
organized  the  Saline  Manufacturing  Company,  man- 
ufacturers of  lumber  antl  dimension  stock,  drafting 
tables  and  others  office  supplies. 

When  the  first  oi)j)ort unity  to  withdraw  from  the 
business  came.  Hallock  sold  hi.^  interest  in  the  Saline 
firm  and  came  back  to  Rochester  in  the  fall  of  l!>2(). 
(They  all  come  back.) 

Hallock.  because  of  his  knowledge  of  wood- 
working, was  given  a  position  in  the  Woodworking' 
Department.  He's  foreman  now.  and  is  out  afte-

One  of  our  assistant  foremen,  John  H.  Renner, 
of  the  Assembly  Department,  has  accepted  a 
position  as  city  fireman  in  the  Department  of 
Public  Safety.  Mr.  Renner  came  to  work  at 
Premo  in  August,  1913.  His  host  of  friends  is 
wishing  him  the  best  of  luck  in  his  new  work. 


WHAT  OUR  XAME-PLATE  DID 

It  will  be  nine  years  in  October  since  a  young  lady 
walked  along  South  Street,  stopped  to  look  at  the 
brass  plate  at  number  45,  which  reads  Eastman 
Kodak  Company.  Premo  Factory,  and  decided  right 
there  and  tJien  th.at  it  was  a  pretty  good  place  in 
which  to  work.  It  was  no  other  person  than  Lena 
Latta  who  applied  for  and  secured  a  position  in  the 
Premo  Works  a  few  minutes  after  gazing  at  the 
name-plate. 

However,  Lena  had  neglected  to  consult  her 
parents  and  accordingly  had  to  return  to  her  home 
in  Latta,  Canada,  and  explain  the  facts  of  the  case. 


l.KNA   I.ATTA 

It  was  a  short  time  after  that  Premo  again  welcomed 
her  back.       "Here  ever  since  and   expect   to   stay 

until,   well  ." 

Lena's  work  is  to  inspect  cameras,  and  if  your 
camera  doesn't  function  properly  or  is  afflicted  with 
any  severe  malady,  have  her  inspect  it.  The  as- 
surance that  the  camera  will  be  in  good  working 
order  after  it  has  passed  through  her  hands  is 
guaranteed.

-ONE  WAV:     THAT'S  ENOUGH!" 
"Give  me  a  ticket  to  Rochester,"  asked  a  young 

man  of  the  ticket  agent  at  Erie,  Pennsylvania,  way 

back  in  1895. 

"Can't  I  sell  you  a  round-trip  passage?" 

"Xo.  I  guess  not.    I've  heard  that    Rochester  is  a 

pretty  good  city:  I'm  looking  for  a  good  chance  to 

work  and  Rochester  appears  to  he  a  'Mecca.'    Xo,  I

VINCENT  H.  THENO 

Little  did  \'iiicent  Theno  know  wliere  he  would 
laiiil  and  just  what  work  he  would  do  when  he 
started  out  for  Rochester.  And  as  luck  would  have 
it.  he  walked  right  up  South  Street,  looked  in  at  the 
Rochester  Optical  Company's  plant,  was  pleased  at 
the  appearance  of  the  place  and  decided  he  would 
like  to  work  there.  Sure  enough,  there  was  a  job 
open  in  the  Brass  Department,  and  Vincent  became 
an  employee  of  that  section  until  the  plant  was 
taken  over  by  the  Eastman  Koflak  Company. 

When  the  Tool  Department  of  the  new  cf)mpany 
desired  a  competent  man,  Theno  was  transferred  to 
learn  the  trade  of  tool  making.  He  has  been  con- 
nected with  this  end  of  Premo  manufacturing  ever 
since,  and  at  present  is  assistant  foreman. 

"The  man  with  the  perpetual  smile"  has  a  recre- 
ative accomplishment  which  contributes  to  make 
"Xick"  Decker's  followers  feared  ones.  He's  a 
bowler,  one  of  the  be.st  in  the  plant,  and  his  excellent 
pin-picking  and  fighting  spirit  go  a  long  way  towards 
winning  games  for  Decker's  Voungsters.  If  you 
want  to  ascertain  what  one  man  thinks  of  the 
Flower  City  and  Premo,  ask  Vincent  H.  Theno  if  he 
ever  intends  to  Iniv  a  one-wav  ticket  back  to  Erie. 


C\Til  Clayton  Eve,  of  the  Machine  Department, 
has  been  promoted  to  fill  the  position  formerly 
held  by  John  H.  Rennet.  Best  wishes  for  success

DYED  IX-THE-WOOL  GARDENERS 


The  "merrie,  merrie  month  of  May"  should 
.see  the  gardening  fans  in  full  operation.  There 
is  no  question  that  gardening  is  one  of  the  most 
healthful  and  profitable  hobi)ies  that  a  man  or 
woman  can  pursue.  While  not  belittling  the  more 
active  types  of  recreation  such  as  tennis,  baseball, 
etc.,  the  fact  remains  that,  to  get  out  in  God's 
sunshine  and  raise  nature's  produce  is  healthful, 
interesting,  and  economically  sound. 

It  is  always  a  matter  of  pride  in  any  activity 
we  may  enter,  to  receive  favoraljle  comments  from 
the  "fellow  next  door."  A  spirit  of  rivalry  incites 
us  to  try  a  little  harder  towards  perfection  than 
if  we  were  "alone  in  the  field."  That  is  why 
the  officers  of  the  Gardening  Association  plan  a 
fall  exhil)it,  when  prizes  are  offered  for  the  best 
single  and  collective  display  of  home  growii  products. 
Have  this  fact  in  mind  when  you  are  planting  your 
garden.     Sonic    of    our    more   successful   gardeners 


received  enough  prize  money  to  pay  for  all  their 
seeds  and  then  had  a  surplus  to  spend  on  tools,  etc. 
The  Secretary  of  the  Club  has  on  hand  books 
pertaining  to  the  "art"  of  gardening  which  are 
at  the  service  of  the  Club  members. 

The  Industrial  Relations  Department  tries  to 
maintain  an  information  bureau  relative  to  the 
many  problems  which  may  confront  the  amateur 
tiller  of  the  soil.  Send  your  incjuiry,  addressed 
to  Herbert  S.  Thorpe,  by  mail,  or  else  secure  a 
temporary  pass  from  your  foreman,  and  tell  us 
personally  your  problems.  Office  hours  for  this 
ser\'ice  are  from  two  to  four  o'clock. 

Orders  will  be  placed  for  garden  hose  or  garden 
tools  any  time  during  the  .season.  Take  advantage 
of  this  service  which  will  not  only  save  you  money 
but  may  save  you  a  failure  in  your  garden,  which 
(ould  be  overcome  by  simple  methods.

OUR  NEW  PRESIDENT  OF  THE  BREEDERS'  ASSOCIATION 


After  engineering  the  most  successful  year  that 
the  breeders'  group  of  the  Recreation  Chil)  has  had, 
Allen  Richards  has  resigned  as  President. 

At  a  meeting  on  March  -25th.  Edward  Frank, 
foreman  of  the  Tin  Shop,  was  unanimously  elected 
to  direct  the  activities  of  the  j)oultr>-  and  ral)t)it 
fanciers  for  the  ensuing  year.  "Ed"  Frank  ha-- 
had  a  valuable  experience  in  directing  membership 
drives,  having  lately  been  chosen  as  captain  of  a 


EDWARD  FRANK 

The  new  President  of  the  Breeders'  Assuciation 

team  to  secure  members  for  the  Genesee  Valley 
Poultry  Club.  He  is  a  practical  and  ardent  breeder 
of  White  Leghorns,  and  there  is  no  reason  to 
doubt  that,  with  "Ed"  at  the  head  of  the  poultry 
group,  it  will  yirove  to  be  a  valuable  asset  to  those 
Recreation  Club  members  whose  hobby  tends  to 
"feathered  flocks." 

.\rrangements  are  being  made  for  a  membership 
drive,  aiul  a  regular  series  of  meetings  will  be 
schedulefl,  witli  specialized  poultry  men  to  give 
talks  on  the  various  phases  of  chicken  life. 

It  is  the  hope  of  the  President  that  the  Breeders" 
Association  will  become  as  successful  and  popular 
as  our  Gardening  Association,  and  with  other 
local  factories  forming  poultry  clubs,  we  should 
have  a  chance  to  compete  for  some  prize  or  trophy 
to  further  stimulate  the  poultry  movement. 

"Ed"  makes  his  debut  as  President  of  the  Breed- 
ers' Association  by  issuing  the  following  message: 
"Boys,  are  you  going  to  back  me  to  the  limit!' 
The  success  of  our  Poultry  Club  is  measured  by 
the  interest  of  every  individual  member.  With 
everyone  lending  a  helping  hand  we  will  grow  into 
the  finest  and  largest  industrial  group  this  side 
of  the  Rockies.  As  you  know,  we  affiliate  with 
the  Genesee  Valley  Poultry  group  at    show   time. 


and  the  best  of  advice  is  always  ours  for  the  asking. 
Their  motto  is.  'The  best  bird  wins,'  and  knowing 
this,  we  were  very  proud  when  we  took  some  of 
the  highest  possible  honors  in  the  poidtry  world. 
"Study  your  birds  and  confine  yourselves  to  one 
particular  type  and  breed.  If  you  need  pointers 
on  how  or  why — just  get  in  touch  with  me  or  the 
Secretary  and  we  can  always  find  someone  who 
will  give  you  a  helping  hand." 

^'ours  for  success, 

"Ed"  Frank. 


SOME  BO^AXING! 

The  boys  and  girls  will  now  have  an  oi)portunity 
to  rest  their  arms,  for  the  bowling  season  is  no  more. 
The  Recreation  Club  has  done  nobly  by  this  particu- 
lar sport,  having  "fathered"  seventy  men  and  fifty 
girls  in  the  fascinating  game  of  "hitting  the  pins," 
besides  paying  a  quota  for  the  Camera  League 
team. 

You  cannot  beat  the  Woodworkers  when  it 
comes  to  bowling.  Bill  O'XeiU's  "impregnables" 
finished  high,  with  the  Buffers  following  pretty 
close  behind.  This  is  the  way  the  eight  teams 
stacked  up:  Woodworking.  Buffers,  Shutter,  Office. 
Construction.  Tool,  Press.  Polishers. 

The  Buffers  won  the  honor  of  high  three  games 
with  a  .score  of  3().'5.'3.  and  also  the  highest  number 
of  pins  in  a  single  game,  with  a  score  of  106G. 
Lee  Yoder  "copped"  the  greatest  numljer  of  pins 
in  one  game  by  bowling  '-279,  and  George  Kiske 
chalked  up  the  envial)le  record  of  697  in  three 
games. 

If  it  were  necessary  to  prove  that  Frank  Bisnett 
would  make  a  splendid  secretary,  the  past  season 
would  verify  it.  FVank  has  worked  hard,  and 
the  bowlers  are  indebted  to  him  for  his  excellent 
services.  The  same  can  be  said  of  William  Stark, 
manager  of  the  men's  team,  and  all  the  other  man- 
agers, both  men  and  women. 

We  cannot  let  this  opportunity  pass  without 
talking  of  the  efficiency  of  the  girls"  teams.  A 
great  many  girls  who  had  never  bowled  liefore 
have  become  ardent  exponents  of  the  game.  Just 
to  prove  how  well  they  roll  the  ball,  a  picked  team 
compo.sed  of  Peggy  Murphy,  Bertha  Schmitt. 
Florence  Koehnlein.  Laura  Musson,  Florence 
Waterstraat,  and  Delia  ]\Ieerdink  matched  up  with 
the  fiimous  Alderman-Fairchild  girls,  beating 
them  three  straight  games,  the  scores  being: 


Camer.\  Works 
660         6.50         708 


Alderm.\x  Fairchild 
647         643         685 


Leo  Xowack  is  the  man  who  features  the  girls' 
team  in  the  factory,  and  the  match  was  arranged 
by  him.  We  like  to  see  the  office  team  and  the 
factory  team  combine  in  this  way,  and  next  year 
we  should  put  in  the  field  an  unbeatable  quin- 
tette of  girl  bowlers. 


Barljara  Le  Belle,  of  the  Crease  and  Cover 
Department,  is  with  us  again,  having  recovered 
from  a  serious  illness.  The  boys  and  girls  are 
glad  to  welcf)me  Barl)ara  back  again.

MORTAR 


Important !'     Wliy — there  are  no  two  ways  about 

it: 

Of  v.hat  use  are  bricks  or  building  Ijlocks  without 
mortar?  Talk  about  co-operation!  There's  no 
better  example  than  seeing  a  stack  of  bricks  facing 
a  heap  of  mortar :  both  necessary,  but  one  cannot 
progress  without  the  other.  Yet — together  they 
are  about  as  important  as  food  or  air.  Don't 
you  think  you  could  use  "mortar"  to  enormous 
advantage  on  your  job. 

Just  try  to  picture  what  this  old  world  of  ours 
would  be  like  if  our  ancestors  hadn't  applied 
"mortar"  to  their  chores.  Would  we  have  had 
buildings.^  Clothes?  Flivvers?  Schools?  and  all 
the  thousand  and  one  trimmings  which  we  expect 
while  living? 

Oh,  no  I  We  would  be  living  in  caves  and  eating 
wild  berries  and  ground  hogs;  wearing  the  leopard 
and  rabbit  skins  and  riding  tamed  unicorns. 

The  essence  of  progress  is — IDEAS. 

Xo  one  man,  or  woman,  for  that  matter,  can  have 


them  all,  and.  even  if  it  were  possible,  they  wouldn't 
be  any  i)ractical  good  unless  they  could  f)e  applied. 

The  management  of  any  big  organization,  al- 
though specialized  in  executive  ability,  cannot 
corner  ideas.  The  humblest  job  in  any  plant  is 
just  as  important  in  its  own  particular  way,  as 
if  it  were  necessary  to  work  with  two  desks,  three 
telephones  and  four  red-headed  stenographers. 
Each  job  should  be  a  study  for  the  man  or  woman 
who  has  it. 

There  are  dozens  of  w"ays  every  job  can  be 
improved.  You  possess  the  "mortar."  The 
management  on  one  side,  the  job  on  the  other,  and 
you.  necessary  to  both. 

The  more  ideas  you  apply  the  better  the  job  will 
behave.  You  suggest  them,  and  the  boss  will  have 
them  applied. 

"Mortar"  your  job!  Connect  up  to  the  man- 
agement with  your  ideas,  through  the  medium  of 
the  Suggestion  Svstem! 

Important?     There  are  no  two  waysabout  it. 


DETAIL  AND  ESTIMATE  BOWLING  LEAGUE 


Hail  to  tlie  Champions!  Curtains  were  rung 
down,  closing  a  most  successful  season  on  Saturday 
afternoon,  April  9,  19'-21,  at  Bock's  Lake  .\ ve- 
nue alleys.  When  the  smoke  of  the  battle  had 
cleared  away,  Seuffert's  "Checkers"  stood  triumph- 
ant at  the  top  of  the  heap,  with  Dice,  Dominoes 
and  Cards  following,  in  the  order  named. 

Wiiether  Harry  Spoor,  of  the  new  champs  with 
nis   "corkscrew   deliverv,"    fleserves   the   credit,   or 


Oscar  Thorpe  of  the  near  champs,  and  his  "side- 
wheel  sewer  ball,"  are  to  blame,  is  a  question, 
but  no  one  can  deny  that  all  had  a  good  time, 
while  the  Checkers  trimmed  the  Dice  in  the  final 
game. 

The  real  final  "get-together,"  however,  was  the 
dinner  and  theater  party  which  took  place  Wed- 
nesday evening,  April  13th,  and  was  attended^by 
the  members  of  all  four  teams.

A  "COME-BACK" 


In  the  March  issue  of  the  Kodak  Magazine 
the  Woodworking  Department  gave  a  list  of  names 
of  employees  who  had  been  in  the  continuous 
employ  of  the  company  for  a  period  of  twenty 
years  or  better,  and,  though  the  Kodak  .\ssembly 
Department's  answer  in  the  April  issue  disputes 
same,  and  claims  to  "take  the  biscuit"  in  this 
contest,  the  Woodworkers  still  claim  the  cham- 
pionship and  hold  the .^o!/r  which  makes  the  biscuit. 
According  to  actual  length  of  service,  the  following 


names  are  still  the  king  pins;  the  total  years

THE  PIE  LADY 

We  have  all  heard  the  expression  about  pies, 
which  says,  '"Just  like  mother  makes  them,"  and 
now  we  know  just  where  the  saying  originated. 
Hundreds  of  us  have  eaten  pie  hundreds  of  times 
in  our  well-equipped  dining  room,  and  we  must 
often  have  wondered  wlio  the  person  was  that 
contributed  such  a  flainty  morsel  to  our  daily  meal. 
\ou  have  seen  the  pies,  and  now  we  are  going  to 
let  you  see  the  pie  maker. 


ISABELLE  Sl'AREZ 
•The  Pie  Lady- 
Hidden  behind  the  kitchen  wall  is  a  very  busy 
woman  whose  sole  duty  is  to  supply  the  pastry. 
Isabelle  tells  us  that  she  makes  on  an  average  one 
hundred  and  thirty  pies  a  day.  Try  to  imagine 
a  housewife  with  such  an  enormous  family  as  the 
Camera  Works  has,  to  keep  supplied  with  pies. 
Wiat  a  feast  for  the  small  boys  who  delight  in 
raiding  the  pantry! 

If  little  Jack  Horner  had  lived  in  Isabelle's  time 
his  thumb  would  have  been  inadequate  to  have 
pulled  plums  out  of  pies,  and  he  could  have  used 
a  pretty  good-sized  shovel  to  advantage  to  cope 
with  all  the  plums  that  repose  so  cosily  between 
two  layers  of  pastry.  Apple,  raisin,  chocolate. 
cream,  peach,  gooseberry,  pear,  mince,  lemon, 
blueberry,  loganberry,  raspberry,  cherry,  apricot, 
pumpkin.  Take  your  choice.  Belle  is  at  home 
with  all  of  them. 


CAMEKOS  DANCE 

Running  true  to  form,  the  Cameko  Clul)  held 
another  successful  entertainment  and  dance  for 
themselves  and  friends,  on  Saturday  evening, 
April  9th,  at  the  Nineteenth  Ward  clubiiouse. 
^Iusic  for  the  occasion  was  furnished  by  the  ( "ameko 
Orchestra  under  the  al)le  leadership  of  Prof.  E. 
Charles  Humes.  In  addition  to  the  usual  dancing 
program,  a  short  vaude\ille  bill  was  offered  i)y 
local  entertainers,  assisted  liy  members  of  the  Club, 
in  which  O.  C.  Rogers,  one  of  the  most  pojmlar 
"Camekos,"  tlemonstratetl  that  he  is  as  versjitile 
as  an  actor  as  lie  is  in  many  other  indoor  sports. 

.\  l)uffet  lunch  w-is  served. 

The  Cameko  Club  i)lans  to  discontinue  its  social 
affairs  until  the  opening  of  the  Windsor  Hotel 
at  Summerville.  A  numlier  of  evenings  are  now 
being  reserved  for  this  ]>o])ular  lakeside  resort, 
the  dates  of  which  will  i)e  announced  later.  The 
Cameko  Club  wishes  to  take  this  opportunity  to 
extend  a  cordial  invitation  to  their  Camera  Works 
friends  to  join  them  in  their  sununcr  dances  at  the 
"Windsor"  this  coming  season. 


DISCIPLES  OF  SAFETY 

We,  at  the  Camera  AVorks,  evidently  possess  not 
only  the  theory  of  safety,  but  also  the  practical 
side  of  obliterating  danger. 

After  featuring  Mr.  Adams's  MetalworkLng 
Departments  in  last  month's  issue  of  the  Magazine, 
we  are  obliged  to  bow  to  the  several  Woodworking 
and  Leather  Departments  coming  under  Mr. 
Geiger's  jurisdiction,  none  of  which  have  had  an 
accident  from  Januarv  1st  to  this  date  of  wTiting, 
April  9th. 

It  must  be  a  matter  of  great  comfort  to  the 
company  to  know  that  the  money  and  effort  the 
management  of  this  plant  spends  on  educating  the 
employees  along  safety  lines  is  fully  warranted  by 
the  remarkable  absence  of  accidents,  even  in  the 
most  hazardous  departments.  It  only  goes  to 
prove  that  the  majority  of  mishaps  can  be  attributed 
to  the  little  everyday  careless  movements  which 
roost  of  us  are  apt  to  make.  If  departments  like 
the  Press  or  the  Woodsawing  can  keep  free  from 
accidents,  surely  the  other  departments  should 
have  no  trouble  in  securing  a  zero  mark  for  their 
record. 

We  congratulate  the  men,  foremen,  and  the 
superintendents  in  these  departments,  and  we 
will  be  pleased  to  vn-ite  any  such  records  of  other 
departments  who  "hitch  their  wagon  to  the  star" 
of  Safetv. 


PLAY  BALL! 

One  of  our  most  brilliant  tiall  players  last  season 
was  George  Millspaugh.  There  is  no  question 
that  the  honorable  place  in  which  the  Camera 
Works  baseball  team  finished  in  the  league  was 
largely  due  to  the  catching  of  George.  During 
the  closed  season  George  kept  in  practice  by  playing 
on  the  Office  team  of  our  Indoor  Baseball  League, 
and  with  the  coming  of  the  outdoor  season,  we 
hope  to  see  him  with  us  at  his  old  post. 

We  are  going  to  miss  some  of  our  players,  such 
as  Mogge,  Fitzgerald  and  Gordon,  but  several  new 
players  are  working  out  in  good  shape. 

Manager  Yoder  is  confident  that  the  Camera 
Works  will  "bring  home  the  bacon"  this  season.

FOREMEN'S  IXSTRU(  TIOX  (LASS 

Those  foremen  who  were  fortunate  enough  to 
he  on  hand  to  hear  Mr.  Brehm's  lecture  on  the 
growth  of  the  Eastman  Kodak  (-ompany,  were 
more  than  repaid  for  the  time  spent  by  hearing  an 
excellent  talk  on  a  particularly  interesting  subject. 

We  were  taken  back  to  the  year  1878,  when  Mr. 
Eastman  first  experimented  with  the  dry  plate  pro- 
cess, and  then  we  were  led  through  the  various  phases 
of  photographic  development,  {)lotted  out  in  ten-year 
periods.  When  we  consider  that,  in  forty-three  years 
of  business,  the  personnel  has  extended  from  one 
man  to  over  eighteen  thousand  employees,  and 
that  the  value  of  properties  accumulated  in  that 
period  has  grown  from  practically  nil  to  eighty- 
eight  million,  seven  hundred  thousand  dollars, 
we  get  a  slight  conception  of  the  remarkable  progress 
made  l)y  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company. 

This  is  the  first  lecture  of  a  series  which  Mr- 
Brehm  is  hoping  to  give  to  the  foremen's  group, 
dealing  with  subjects  relative  to  company  data 
and  conditions. 


John  Kuchel,  of  the  Tool  Room,  has  lieen  obliged 
to  break  an  eleven  years  perfect  attendance.  John 
was  confined  to  his  home  with  an  attack  of  acute 
indigestion,  but  is  O.  K.  now.  John  says  he  is 
going  to  start  right  in  again  and  beat  his  previous 
record. 


FINIS 

The  month  of  April  is  the  wind-up  of  the  majority 
of  indoor  sports.  All  of  our  bowling  leagues  are 
finished,  and  the  now  famous  Indoor  League  has 
wound  up  its  season.  The  honors  are  divided 
between  the  following,  the  Brownie  and  Shutter 
teams  having  reached  a  tie  for  first  place.  The 
complete  standings  are  as  follows:

The  Recreation  Club  is  indebted  to  Norman 
Robinson  for  the  splendid  way  in  which  he  has 
managed  the  eight  teams,  and  next  year  we  hope 
to  repeat  the  performance  of  the  pa.st  season. 


The  office  employees  are  missing  Howard  ■Mason 
of  the  Planning  Department,  who  underwent 
an  operation  for  appendicitis  recently.  Our  wishes 
for  a  speedy  recovery  are  extended  to  him. 


The  boys  in  the  Tool  Room  are  all  confident  that 
the  warm  days  are  here  to  stay.  They  know 
this,  not  by  virtue  of  Dr.  Miles's  almanac,  but  by 
the  fact  that  Frank  Watkeys  is  overhauling  his 
fishing  tackle.  Frank  is  not  only  an  ardent  musi- 
cian, but  also  a  follower  of  Isaak  Walton,  and  many 
a  fish  family  has  been  broken  up  by  the  disap- 
pearance of  one  of  their  finny  tribe,  with  Frank 
in  the  role  of  villain. 


A  WIND-l  P  MATCH 

The  best  pin-smashers  in  the  Camera  Works 
Bowling  League  lined  up  in  a  match  game,  in  order 
to  have  one  good  battle  before  the  popular  bowling 
season  closed.  This  is  how  the  boys  made  up  their 
teams: 


ST.XRS

Kiske 206-1

Team  Total.  .  .  1022-2  Team  Total.  .  .  1006-2 

Three  double  matches  were  rolled,  as  follows: 

Kraus  and  Vogler Score   413 

Yoder  and  Nowack Score   413 

Kiske  and  Auer Score   413 

How's  that  for  even  teams? 

After  rolling  the  three  ties,  Yoder  and  Nowack 
won  a  slight  victory  in  the  roll-off. 


CHECKER  TEAM 

The  twenty  men  comprising  the  Camera  Works 
Checker  Club,  through  the  courtesy  of  the  Central 
Y.  M.  C.  A.,  played  a  tournament  at  the  Gibbs 
Street  headquarters,  in  order  to  put  in  the  field  a 
ten-man  team  to  compete  for  local  championship 
honors.  This  group  of  the  Recreation  Club  hopes 
to  add  to  our  growing  collection  of  trophies,  and, 
if  Manager  Petrin  keeps  his  splendid  team  together, 
we  should  rank  high  in  checker  circles. 

The  following  men  comprise  the  team: 

Walter  J.  Marcille Shutter 

William  E.  Flanders Construction 

Michael  Hickey Tool 

Peter  Petrin Engineering 

Ray  M.  Carter Milling 

Harold  Mar.son Tool

We  have  not  discovered  whether  it  was  Delia 
Meerdink's  birthday,  whether  it  was  an  engagement 
party,  or  whether  it  was  merely  an  expression  of 
her  friends  just  to  show  her  what  a  "good  fellow" 
she  is.  Anyway,  the  girls  from  the  office  held  a 
surprise  partv  on  St.  Patrick's  dav  in  honor  of 
Delia. 

The  seventh  floor  connnittee  room  assumed  the 
appearance  of  a  banquet  hall,  where  such  delicacies 
as  celery  salad,  potato  salad,  and  fruited  jello 
formed  part  of  the  menu.  Green  hats  were  in 
evidence,  and  even  the  candy  was  dressed  in  an 
emerald  hue.  The  only  sad  part  of  the  whole 
affair  was  the  blowing  of  the  whistle,  calling  the 
girls  back  to  their  work. 

George  Toates,  of  the  Crease  and  Cover  Depart- 
ment, came  to  work  the  other  morning  looking  as 
if  he  had  been  left  a  fortune  of  a  million  dollars 
or  thereabouts.  Upon  inquiry,  George  assured 
us  that  he  had  had  a  fortune  left  him  in  the  shape 
of  a  baby  girl.

GIRL  CHAMPION  BOWLERS  DEFEAT  HIGH  MEN 


The  five  champion  giri  bowlers  of  the  K.  O.  R.  C. 
girl's  league  challenged  the  five  highest  men  of  the 
season  to  a  match  at  the  Genesee  bowling  alleys, 
the  men  allowing  the  girls  a  handicap  of  37.5  pins. 

Elizabeth  Vanderpool,  Harriet  Stevens.  Neva 
Potts,  Florence  Wright  and  Mildred  Gomminginger 
went  to  the  wire  for  the  girls.  The  men  were 
(mis)represented  by  Ferris.  Albrecht.  Amey, 
Beikirch  and  Strowger.  There  were  -ioO  rooters  in 
the  gallery.  '249  for  the  girls  and  1  for  the  men. 

At  the  outset  things  looked  dismal  for  the  ladies, 
but  they  plugged  away  and  came  out  with  forty- 
seven  pins  to  spare.  Neva  Potts  and  Frank  Strowger 
rolled  a  tie  game,  each  scoring  1.3,3.  Millie  (iom- 
minginger  checked  up  137  points,  while  Harriet 
Stevens  did  even  lietter  with  a  141  for  her  bit. 
For  the  men,  ■"Xorm"  Ferris,  who  })rought  his  wife 
out  to  see  the  slaughter,  kicked  them  over  for 
!23(i,   and   Amey  had   19-2,   but   tliey   needefl   more 


help.  Helen  Fisher  was  substituted  for  Mildred 
Gomminginger  at  the  end  of  the  first  game. 

The  second  game  was  even  closer,  the  difference 
being  only  tweh'e  pins.  Harriet  Stevens  again 
covered  herself  with  glory  by  turning  in  a  score 
of  1.50,  only  eight  less  than  the  famous  Amey. 
Norman  Ferris  must  have  had  an  encouraging 
glance  from  the  gallery  for  this  time  his  total  was 
an  even  '240.  For  the  second  time  the  men  had 
turned  in  a  score  of  over  900  and  lost. 

The  third  game  was  a  repetition  of  the  other  two. 
the  men  going  after  them  for  all  they  were  worth, 
but  not  l)eing  there  in  the  pinch.  This  time  it  was 
Florence  Wright  who  was  the  shining  star.  Not- 
withstanding the  three  games  under  a  high  tension 
before  a  howling  mob.  the  score  sheet  read  143. 

The  girls  have  already  consumed  ten  poimds  of 
A-1  candy.  So  ended  one  rare  evening  which 
we  hope  will  become  an  annual  event.

JOHX  BERL  PICKS  WINNERS 
"Johnnie"  Berl,  Captain  of  the  Service  Depart- 
ment team  in  the  Kodak  Office  Bowling  League 
has  a  good  habit  of  picking  out  the  winners.  By  a 
strange  coincidence,  "'Johnnie"  was  captain  of  the 
Rochester  Optical  team  when  they  won  the  first 
Eastman  Trophy  way  back  in  1900,  also  winning 
two  consecutive  trophies  for  the  years  1903-04 
and  1904f-5.  By  good  consistent  bowling  "Johnnie" 
brings  the  first  Kodak  Office  league  banner  to  the 
Service  Department  this  year.  It  pays  to  keep 
in  form.  We  hope  the  banner  stays  in  the  Service 
Department  for  some  time  to  come.  John  says, 
"■Let  .someone  try  to  get  it  away  from  us."

back  to  work  \ery  shortly. 

Mary  Baier  has  returned  to  the  Mail  Department 
after  a  month's  leave  of  absence.  We  are  glad 
to  have  her  bac-k  again  feeling  so  much  better. 


Milton  Sauer,  of  the  14th  floor,  is  the  "King  Pin" 
when  it  comes  to  handing  out  Fanny  Farmer  candy 
in  payment  of  bets  made  on  the  men's  bowling 
team  against  the  girls.  Mary  Dissett  won  a  '2-113. 
box  and  Sally  Keefe  a  3-lb.,  so  with  candy  for  the 
girls  and  gasoline  for  his  Tin  Lizzie,  he's  about 
all  caught  up  for  a  month.  Poor  "Curly" — how 
does  he  do  it? 


Anyone  traveling  on  the  R.  &  E.  will  kindly

again. 


Muriel  Maddock  has  returned  to  the  Repair

her  when  she  was  awav.

"Follow  the  arrow  and  you  follow  the  style  " — 
follow  a  crowd  of  girls  in  Kodak  Office  and,  with 
but  few  exceptions,  you'll  find  yourself  near  a 
new  diamond  ring.  Of  course  we  aren't  curious 
on  the  11th  floor,  but  we  just  naturally  gravitate 
toward  diamond  rings.  Marion  Lawn,  of  the 
Order  Department,  must  have  thought  so  when 
she  founfl  herself  holding  an  informal  reception 
the  first  day  she  wore  the  ring  which  announced 
her  engagement  to  George  J.  Spillane  of  this  city. 
We  all  wish  Marion  happiness  and  congratulate 
George  very  sincerely. 


Kathryn  Lamphere,  of  the  Mail  Department, 
recently  entertained  several  of  her  11th  floor  friends 
at  a  party  at  her  home.  It  must  have  i)een  a 
seven-cour.se  affair  judging  frcun  reports,  including 
KathrNii's,  for  she  said  the  "dishes  were  terrible."

Bertha  Brewer  has  just  returned  from  a  six 
months'  leave  of  absence  which  she  spent  in 
and  around  Los  Angeles,  California.  Bertha  looks 
fine  and  we  all  welcome  her  back  to  the  fold.  From 
the  demonstration  which  took  place  when  she 
arrived  on  the  14th  floor,  it  would  be  well  worth 
going  away  for.  girls. 

Eflna  Rudig  entertained  the  Sewing  Club,  of 
the  Repair  Department,  a  short  time  ago  at  her 
home.  Everyone  enjoyed  a  very  pleasant  evening 
and  a  delightful  luncli.  Some  hope  chest  she  has. 
If  she  keeps  up  her  good  work  she  will  have  to 
have  it  enlarged.     Lucky  boy — Paul  I

"Ben"  Knight,  of  the  Maintenance  Department, 
was  married  at  St.  James  Episcopal  Church  to 
Miss  Kate  Selby.  Mrs.  Knight  arrived  in  this

It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  we  welcome  Helen

Laura  Kramer.  Helena  Foley  and  Mary  Troy 
vow  that  their  evening  at  Helen  Ilergenrother's 
was  extremely  well  s|)ent.  Of  course,  any  party 
that  Helen  gave  would  l)e  a  good  one,  but  we 
attribute  a  small  part  of  their  enthusiasm  to  the 
fact  that  each  one  succeeded  in  carrying  off  a  prize 
for  her  skill  at  ".^00."  Refreshments,  thank  good- 
ness, were  not  confined  to  the  lucky  three  and  if 
you  knew  what  they  were  and  what  a  good  time 
Helen's  guests  had,  you  would  little  wonder  at  their 
being  anxious  to  go  again.

BOWLERS  RAISE  ROOF  AT  LIEDERKRAXZ 


The  First  Annual  Banquet  of  tlie  Kodak  Office 
IJowlins  League  was  held  on  Saturday.  April  9th, 
at  the  Liederkranz.  From  all  reports  the  Knights 
of  the  Pin  Art  had  a  grand  and  glorious  affair. 
Roll  Call  was  answered  at  ():.'30  and  the  chairman, 
after  giving  the  company  the  once  over,  ordered 
attention  and  led  the  procession  to  the  dining-hall 
where  Old  Man  High  Cost  of  Living  would  have 
blushed  to  see  that  lay-out  of  eats.  Ross  Robert- 
son, Master  of  Ceremonies,  presented  to  the 
victors  the  spoils  of  their  efforts.  To  the  Service 
Department  went  tlie  Championsliip  pennant. 
To  Amey,  the  high  all-event  man,  a  nice  neat  little 


ARTICLES  FOUND 

Black  rosary  beads  on  Kodak  Street. 
Gold  cuflf  links  with  three  initials. 


Dorothy  Walz  entertained  .several  of  her  eleventh 
floor  friends  a  sliort  time  ago  at  lier  home.  After 
music,  games  and  refreshments,  they  declared  that 
they  had  had  a  mighty  fine  time. 


ROCKS   ALLEYS— AND   THE    GIRLS 

Thirty  young  ladies  of  the  14th  and  1,5th  floors 
participated  in  a  bowling  contest.  Jean  Gaffney 
of  the  14th  won  first  prize,  which  was  a  book; 
Anna  Lyons  of  the  loth,  second  prize,  a  box  of 
powder;  and  Jennie  Hennessey,  loth,  third  prize, 
a  corsage  bouquet  of  (onions).  The  girls  played 
on  Rock's  alleys,  making  it  a  hard  proposition. 
The  main  indoor  .sport  was  kidding  Mr.  Rock 
into  thinking  he  had  wonderful  alleys.  A  collation 
lunch  was  served  to  all  the  girls. 


Albert  Hayter,  Oscar  ^'etter  and  William  Carter. 
of  the  ^Maintenance  Department,  have  been  awarded 
diplomas  from  the  School  of  Safety  Supervisors 
at  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  Congratulations 
to  them  and  to  usi  You  can't  beat  the  Maintenance 
Department.  Were  safe  and  sound,  and  safe  and 
sure. 


package,  and  to  "Joe"  Kick  something  to  kick 
about.  After  the  dinner,  the  services  of  a  construc- 
tion company  were  needed  to  clear  the  hall  of  the 
left-overs  and  to  make  room  for  the  entertainers. 
If  "Tex"  Rickard  could  have  been  there,  it  is  the 
belief  that  the  Carpentier  and  Demp.sey  affair, 
instead  of  being  a  main  go,  would  have  had  to  be  a 
preliminary  to  the  ones  staged  for  the  bowlers. 
Old  Medicine  Man  "Doc"  Cook  gave  a  flute 
recital,  and  also  led  the  singing,  at  which  he  was 
right  at  home.

The  Testing  and  Packing  Department  announces 
another  wedding,  which  took  place  in  Denver.  Colo- 
rado. 

The  happy  bride  is  Jane  Sink,  now  Mrs.  Jefferson 
Oscar  Shaw,  who  left  us  a  short  time  ago  to  join 
lier  relatives  in  Denver. 

Some  of  the  girls  suggest  a  K.  O.  R.  C.  transporta- 
tion committee  for  the  purpose  of  arranging  excur- 
sion rates  to  Denver. 


A  RETIRX  FROM  ACROSS 

Grace  Hallifax.  of  the  Billing  Department, 
who  has  been  on  a  leave  of  absence  since  last 
Sei)temljer.  has  just  returned  from  a  visit  to  Eng- 
land. She  returned  on  the  steamship  Aquitania 
and  experienced  what  the  crew  said  was  the  worst 
storm  in  twenty  years,  but  she  didn't  let  that  spoil 
the  memory  of  the  good  times  she  had.  Grace 
received  a  warm  reception,  not  only  from  her  friends 
in  the  Billing  Department,  but  from  the  whole 
office,  and  expressed  the  thought  that  she  was  glad 
to  be  l)ack  in  the  L'nited  States.

are  both  going  riding.

"best  things  come  in  small  packages."  At  a

'•NET  BALL!' 

"Forty  love!  Wow!  What  a  game!  I've  got 
you  this  time.  Hev,  look  out!  There's  the  game. 
That's  what  I  c;ill  taking  the  old  pep  right  out  of 
the  air." 

How  many  of  us  can  play  tennis?     Why?     Oh  , 
we're   just    going   to    put    a   championship    tennis 
team  on  the  first  courts  we  can  grab  up.     .Xnd 
we  want  you  to  come  oat  and  try  for  the  team. 

Reports  are  rife  that  "Curly"  Saner  will  be  seen 
in  action.  Also  Millard  Hodgson,  who  used  to 
swing  a  "mean  serve"  Ijack  in  the  days  of  two- 
cent  transportation,  and  Ross  Robertson  have 
already  signefl  up  to  exerci.se  the  white  rubber 
once  in  a  while. 

The  only  "nail  in  the  shoe"  now  is  the  lack  of 
courts.  One  enthusiast  remarked:  "Well,  if  we 
can't  play  on  anv  of  the  City  Courts  we'll  serve 
on  the  Supreme  Court,  or  else  carry  our  'racquets' 
to  the  Court  of  .\ppeals." 

If  anyone  has  knowledge  of  a  suitable  lot  that 
might  be  fixed  up  for  at  least  four  tennis  courts, 
or  better  still,  some  courts  in  fs-irly  good  condition, 
notify  Manager  of  Tennis  Millard  B.  Hodgson. 
Also,  all  desiring  to  play  or  learn  the  game  are  asked 
to  send  in  their  names  to  the  Manager. 

We're  all  itct  for  tennis. 


AND  THFA'  ROLL  THEIR  OWN 

It  was  observed  one  morning,  on  the  eleventh 
fioor,  that  the  girls  in  the  Order  Department  looked 
very  uplifted — not  strange  considering  the  fact 
that  all  who  inhabit  this  floor  have  but  five  flights 
to  go  before  they  reach  the  summit  of  Rochester's 
business  world,  but  the  Mail  Department's  faces 
didn't  wear  quite  that  .same  expression  of  "behold 
the  conquering  hero  comes."  The  floor  detective 
was  put  on  the  trail  and  ere  long  the  truth  was 
out.  Two  of  the  Order  Department  girls  were 
on  the  team  that  completely  "bowled  over"  the 
men's  bowling  team.  Florence  Wright  is  one  of 
the"Champeens";  the  other  is  Millie  Gomminginger. 
My,  but  we're  proud  of  them! 


FIXE  WORK,  MtXZERT! 

Mr.   Axdkew   Muxzert, 

Maintenance  Department. 

I  wish  to  express  mv  thanks  and  appreciation  of 
the  great  presence  of  mind  you  demonstrated  in 
saving  me  from  being  badlv  injured  or  perhaps 
killed,  as  I  was  caught  in  the  open  doorway  of  the 
elevator  when  the  car  accidentally  shot  upwards 
to  the  second  floor  and  I  had  already  started  to 
walk  out  at  the  first  floor.  It  would  have  been 
impossible  for  me  to  have  jumped  out  as  I  would 
have  been  caught  in  the  shaft. 

I  shall  not  forget  your  quick  and  thoughtful 
action  in  pulling  me  into  safety  at  the  crucial 
moment,  as  I  was  practically  helpless  and  did  not 
know  which  wav  to  turn  in  the  excitement. 


Yours 


very    gratefully, 

Mary  G.  Reilly, 

Traffic  Office. 


BLUXIMRTIMUPGH 

Other  people  may  hold  dances,  picnics,  get-to- 
gethers and  the  like,  but  it  takes  the  Advertising 
Department  to  hold  a  Bluximrtimupgh — and  get 
by  with  it.  The  date  will  go  down  in  history; 
the  Maplewood  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  which  was  the  place 
where  it  was  held,  will  be  shown  to  interested 
sightseers  from  now  on.  The  committee  in  charge 
included  Huyla  Kauffman,  chairman;  Bill  Kreisler 
Mead,  Albert  Stillson,  and  Madeline  Lensing. 

A  feature  of  the  evening  was  a  mock  turtle 
wedding,  during  which  Ben  "Comedy"  Cline  w'as 
united  in  bonds  to  Marion  Allen,  with  Mrs.  Joseph 
Kaiser  as  flower  girl  petite  and  Laura  Hewakl 
minister  extraordinary. 

Music  for  dancing  was  furnished  by  "Al"Stillson's 
Feverish  Five  with  "Al"  at  the  piano,  "Bill"  Mead  on 
the  violin,  George  Langenbacher  on  the  trombone, 
"Sam"  Marcuson  the  banjo,  and  "Judd"  McCarthy 
on  almost  everything  in  sight. 

Eighty  people  were  present.

GIRLS  CLOSE  BASKETBALL  SEASON 


Since  the  l;ist  issue  the  girls  have  closed  their 
basketball  season,  wiiniing  the  last  three  games. 
The  first  of  the  trio,  f)la.\e(l  with  Stroniiierg-Carlson 
on  March  10th,  proved  easy.  Hawk-Eye  displayed 
good  pass-work  and  got  rid  of  the  ball  quickly, 
besides  which  "Billy"  Maier  ran  wild  and  accounted 
for  twelve  points.  Alice  Gears  added  eight  more 
with  some  of  the  fancy  side  shots  for  which  she  is 
noted,  and  Grace  Wiemer  completed  the  .scoring 
with  two  pretty  steves.     The  final  .score  was  '24-'-2. 

When  we  met  the  same  team  again  a  week  later 
our  opponents  had  improved  greatly  and  j)ut  up  a 
stiff  fight.  The  guarding  was  very  close  and  onlv 
Grace's  long-range  shooting  enabled  Hawk-Eye 
to  score  from  the  field.  She  tiropped  in  two  count- 
ers from  mid-court  and  Elizabeth  Meerdink  added 
one  point  on  a  foul.  In  the  meantime  \'irginia 
Earl  and  Ethel  Reinhardt  worked  like  Trojans  on 
the  defense  and  handerl  the  opposition  nothing  lint 
a  goose-egg.  Einal  score,  Hawk-Eye  5,  Stromherg  0. 

On  March  19th  the  team  made  a  second  trip  to 
Silver  Springs  to  avenge  the  beating  handed  out 
to  them  a  few  weeks  l;efore.  The  game  was  nip 
and  tuck  from  the  beginning.  "Bill"  Schlegel  got 
lots  of  exercise  running  up  and  down  the  side- 
lines shouting  encouragement  and  had  to  be  asked 
several  times  by  the  officials  to  calm  himself, 
as  he  was  congesting  the  court.  As  for  Alice,  she 
scored  Hawk-Eye's  four  points,  therel)y  completing 
her  captaincy  of  the  l!)'-20-'-21  team  in  a  fitting 
manner.  Near  the  end  of  the  game  Silver  Springs 
counted  on  a  foul,  making  the  count  4-3  for  Hawk- 
Eye,  and  the  period  ended  without  further  scoring. 

"Bill"  heaved  a  mighty  sigh  of  relief,  antl  piling 
half  of  the  girls  into  his  Essex  made  tracks  for 
Buffalo,  after  buying  up  all  the  provisions  in  the 
towTi.     Carl  Kelirig  took  charge  of  the  rest   and 


started  on  a  never-to-be-forgotten  dri\e  in  the 
general  direction  of  Rochester,  over  hea\7'  roads 
and  through  thunfler  storms.  Engine  trouble 
finally  compelled  him  to  .stop,  but  he  had  been 
trailed  by  "Ed"  Xorthrup  in  his  Ford  and  the  latter 
received  the  precious  burden  for  the  final  leg  of  the 
journey. 

Thus  ends  the  career  of  the  Hawk-Eve  girls' 
basketball  team  of  19'-20-'-21.  The  team  "won  10 
games  and  lost  5.  They  scored  a  total  of  ^208 
points,  as  against  103  for  their  opponents.  It  is 
perhaps  iuineces.sary  to  point  out  how  much  loyalty 
and  hard  work,  on  the  part  of  the  team,  the  coaches 
and  the  management,  such  a  record  implies.  It  has 
meant  constant  and  painstaking  practice  for  the 
girls,  and  often  aljstention  from  other  amusements 
and  activities.  On  the  other  hand  their  efforts 
have  not  been  unrewarded,  for  not  only  have  they 
completed  an  eminently  successful  season,  but  they 
are  as  healthy  a  set  of  girls  as  could  be  found,  and 
a  large  part  of  their  physical  fitness  can  be  ascribed 
to  the  regular  exercise  which  the  sport  affords. 

The  team  was  coached  by  "Billy"  Maier,  Allan 
Petersen  and  Eddie  Murrell,  and  the  outcome  of 
the  .season's  campaign  is  more  eloquent  of  the 
success  of  their  efforts  than  words  could  be.  This 
applies  also  to  the  management  of  "Bill"  Schlegel 
and  to  the  chaperonage  and  companionship  of 
"Angle"  Schlegel.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Schlegel  were 
not  only  present  at  every  game,  but  devoted  their 
thought  and  effort  at  other  times  to  the  affairs  of 
the  team  to  an  extent  that  is  seldom  seen.  It  is 
only  natural,  therefore,  that  they  should  share, 
equally  with  the  team  and  coaches,  the  gratitude 
of  Hawk-Eye  for  the  splendid  record  that  has  liecn 
achieved. 


HAWK-EYE  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION  ELECTION 


On  March  17th  the  officers  and  trustees  of  the

Pauline  Krzywick,  Loretta  Ereth,  Russel  (rail), 
Martin  Birmingham,  Dennis  Dwyer  and  James 
Weldou.  The  connnittee  met  a  few  days  later  and

Eyer  as  Trustee  for  one  \ear. 

The  -Xssociation  is  entering  on  the  third  year  of 
its  life.  The  |)asl  (wo  >ears,  under  the  presidencies 
of  Mr.  Haus  and  Mr.  \'ass.  have  witnesseil  a  boom 
in  Hawk-Eye  athletics  and  social  activities  that 
leaves  no  room  for  doubt  as  to  the  value  and  success 
of  the  organisation.  The  incoming  officers,  al- 
though faced  by  the  necessit>-  of  .some  changes 
made  imjierative  l)y  the  growth  of  the  association, 
will  find  its  affairs  in  good  condition  as  the  result 
of  Mr.  \'ass"s  excellent  administration.  With  the 
good  start  that  this  will  aH'ord  them,  Mr.  Wall 
and  his  able  assistants  may  be  expected  to  guide 
the  .Vssociation  through  a  memorable  year.  We 
extend  to  them  our  hearty  goo<i  wishes  for  a  suc- 
cessful administration.

EKCO  CLUB  TARTY 


In  addition  to  their  regular  weekly  gatherings 
the  girls  of  the  Ekco  Club  have  initiated  the 
practice  of  having  occasional  parties,  open  to 
guests.     The  first  of  these  was  celebrated  recently. 

There  was  a  hasty  exodus  from  the  plant  at  o.-Z.'). 
but  even  with  the  early  start  the  girls  barely  had 
time  to  get  to  the  "Y.  W."  and  into  their  fancy 
costumes  before  the  bell  sounded  for  supper.  The 
presence  of  the  costumes  not  only  helped  to  break 
the  ice  and  start  the  meal  in  good  style,  but  might 
be  said  to  have  "made"  the  whole  party.  Helen 
Loughlin  in  a  short,  tight  skirt,  a  tighter  jersey 
sweater  and  rakish  hat.  looked  like  the  proverbial 
Bowery  belle.  Hattie  Batzing  and  Inez  Prentice 
in  variegated  clown's  garb  might  have  passed  as 
genuine  circus  performers  had  they  not  been  too 
graceful.  Madeline  Boase  in  a  striking  red,  yellow 
and  black  rig;  Margaret  Kiernan  in  gypsy  dress, 
and  Magdalene  Hettel  in  a  long,  flaring  skirt  and  a 
venerable  puflf-sleeved  coat  were  other  effective 
mascjueraders.     Olive  Kellett  and  Doris  Sandford 


were  .sailors,  while  "Billy"  Wilson  was  completely 
disguised  in  a  brown  silk  dress  and  a  hat  to  match 
that  first  .saw  light  in  the  early  sixties.  But  \iv- 
ginia  Earl  would  have  won  the  costume  prize 
had  tliere  been  one,  with  her  conglomeration  of 
misfit  clothing  and  household  sundries.  She 
wore  sailors"  trousers,  a  diaphanous  overskirt,  a 
pink  sweater  aufl  a  top-piece  that  sported  a  downy 
duckling.  Among  her  accessories  .she  packed  an 
alarm  clock  on  her  WTist  and  a  girdle  from  which 
were  suspended  a  picture  frame,  a  gold  Ijasket, 
and  wliat  looked  to  be  a  cellarette. 

At  tiie  stroke  of  seven  they  ascended  to  the  Rose 
Room  and  started  their  {)rogram  of  games. 

A  number  of  guests  were  present  and  of  them 
four  were  enrolled  as  members  of  the  Ekco  ("lub. 
There  would  no  doubt  have  been  more  willing 
candidates  had  all  those  invitefl  been  able  to  be 
present.  The  club  is  thriving  and  is  bound  to  grow. 
The  girls  intend  to  have  at  least  one  more  party  this 
spring  before  closing  their  activities  for  the  season. 


As  noted  in  the  April  issue.  Hawk-Eye  tied  with 
the  Main  Office  for  fourth  place  in  the  Camera 
Bowling  League  and  captured  the  handicap  trophy. 
This  is  the  best  record  that  has  been  made  l)y  the 
purple  and  gold  l)owlers  in  many  years,  and  Ca])tain 
Kosel  and  his  men  are  to  l)e  complimented.  Tiiey 
are  not  yet  satisfiefl  aufl  maintain  that  they  intend 
to  boost  their  standing  another  notch  next  sea.son. 

"Bill"  Schlegel  has  asked  to  be  relieved  of  the 
management  of  the  girls'  baseball  team  this  season. 


He  gave  the  girls  splendid  training  last  year,  and 
his  successors  in  the  management  of  the  team 
have  good  cau.se  to  congratulate  themselves  on  the 
good  start  which  this  will  give  them  in  building 
up  a  team  for  lO'^l. 

COXGRATULATIOXS 

We  extend  our  heartiest  congratulations  to  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Alfred  Simm,  to  «hom  a  baby  girl  was 
born.Eebruarv  19tli.  She  has  been  christened  Helen.

GARDEN  CLT'B 

The  Hawk-Eye  Garflen  Club  with  last  year's 
successful  experience  l)ack  of  it,  is  going  full  tilt 
on  another  season  of  activity.  That  this  is  one 
of  our  most  popular  and  profitable  plant  activities 


FRANK  M.  HANSE 
Secretary -Treasurer  Hawk-Eye  Garden  Association 

is  evidenced  by  the  enthusiasm  of  its  increasing 
membership.  The  rolls  for  the  sea.son  of  li)'-21 
indicate,  even  at  this  early  date,  that  we  may 
expect  a  big  year. 

Secretary-Treasurer  Frank  M.  Hanse  is  devoting 
most  of  his  spare  moments  to  stirring  up  last  year's 
members,  enlisting  new  ones,  and  dispensing 
information.  His  is  a  busy  job  at  this  time  of  the 
year  with  orders  to  be  filled,  instructions  for  f)ro- 
spective  gardeners  to  be  issued,  besides  injecting 
interest  into  those  who  lag  behind.  Mr.  Hanse 
voiced  his  own  enthusiasm  in  glowing  terms: 
"The  Club  expects  to  make  a  big  showing  in  the 
exhibition  at  Expositi(m  Park  next  Septeml)er. 
We  are  going  out  to  win  the  cup  which  the  Camera 
Works  has  held  for  three  years.  Start  your  back- 
yard garden  now!  You  may  grow  just  the  vege- 
tables we  need  to  win." 

The  benefits  of  home  gardening  are  too  well 
known  to  warrant  any  lengthy  argument.  That 
it  is  a  paying  proposition  however,  may  be  seen 
from  the  experience  of  one  of  our  gardeners  who 
paid  $10.75  for  seeds  last  >ear  and  realized  $9:5. (i.) 
worth  of  excellent  vegetables.  Potatoes,  cabbage, 
beets,  carrots,  corn,  tomatoes,  pickles,  cucumi)ers 
and  melons  were  included  in  his  garden. 

The  growing  of  vegclal)les  cuts  the  expense  of 
your  table.  It  means  you  can  put  more  into  other 
things.  It  means  good  exercise,  recreation,  anfl 
the  pleasure  of  .seeing  things  grow.  \'egetables 
grown  at  home  taste  lietter,  besides  which  you 
can  have  greater  variety,  freshness,  and  a  store  laid 
by  for  winter. 


TH.WKS  TO  .VLL.W: 

Allan  Petersen  ga\e  a  party  at  his  home  in  cele- 
i)ratiou  of  the  successful  clo.se  of  the  girls'  basketball 
.season.  Naturally  most  of  the  conversation  during 
the  evening  turned  on  the  subject  of  the  court 
game  and  the  girls  reminisced  to  their  hearts' 
c-ontent  on  the  higli-ligiits  of  the  year's  games. 
Manager  Schlegel  and  Coach  Murrell  were  present 
and  could  hardly  be  persuaded  to  spare  enough 
time  from  their  favorite  topic  to  take  advantage 
of  the  eats.  The  lunch  was  prepared  by  the  girls, 
and  those  members  of  the  Industrial  Relations

JOHN  E.  BURKE 

John  E.  Burke,  of  the  .\chromatic  Lens  Depart- 
ment, died  very  suddenly  on  the  night  of  .\pril  .3(1. 
at  the  age  of  0.'5  years.  He  had  been  at  his  work 
only  a  few  days  before  and  his  unexpected  death 
was  a  great  blow  to  all  of  us.  Mr.  Burke  was 
born  on  June  "24,  18.58,  at  Hudson.  N.  Y.  He  came 
to  Hawk-Eye  early  in  1918  and  was  always  a  steady 
and  industrious  worker.  Previous  to  that  time 
he  had  long  been  an  engineer  on  contracting  work 
and  served  under  our  Mr.  Huntington  in  that 
capacity  for  twenty  years.  Mr.  Huntington,  Mr. 
Snapp  and  the  many  others  who  came  to  know  him 
in  our  plant  have  nothing  Init  ])raise  for  his  kindly 
nature  and  his  faithful  devotion  to  his  work. 
We  extend  our  deep  sympathy  to  Mr.  Burke's 
l)ereaved  familv.

BASKETBALL  LAID  AWAY 


The  Hawk-Eye  men  completed  their  season  on 
Marcli  Kith,  when  they  handed  a  defeat  to  the 
Stroinher^-Carlson  five.  Captain  Petersen  fea- 
tured, with  nine  points  to  his  credit.  Miller, 
Rabin  and  Johnson  each  contributed  two  baskets. 
"Clifi""  didn't  have  an  ounce  of  luck  in  the  first 
half  but  came  through  in  the  last  period  when 
the  points  were  needed.  Levine  and  Pierson  did 
not  figure  in  the  scoring  but  their  contribution  to 
the  teamwork  was  indispensable  in  a  game  with 
one  of  the  strongest  teams  that  Hawk-Eye  had 
met  during  the  season.     The  final  score  was  '•21  to  10. 

The  team's  recor<l  for  tlie  season  was  a  most 
creditable  one.  The  final  tally  shows  eight  victories 
and  five  defeats,  Hawk-Eye  scoring  390  points, 
while  its  opponents  were  registering  '£.56.  The 
team  did  not  hit  its  stride  until  mid-season.  Man- 
ager Levine  and  Captain  Pete-son  were  indefatigable 
in  their  efi'f)rts  to  find  the  winning  combination, 
and  were  finally  rewarded  bv  a  team  that  was 
exceedingly  hard  to  beat.  Thereafter.  Hawk-Eye 
lost    but    one    game,    to  the   Big   Brothers    team. 


the  chief  reason  being  that  one  of  the  regulars  was 
absent  from  the  lineup.  The  record  of  eight  vic- 
tories and  five  defeats  may  not  look  very  imposing 
to  some,  but  Hawk-Eye  has  nevertheless  been 
very  prominent  on  the  local  basketball  map. 
Those  teams  which  felt  the  weight  of  our  attack 
during  the  last  two  months  of  the  season,  will 
acknowledge  this  fact. 

It  is  of  course  hard  to  predict  what  another 
year  will  bring  forth,  but  it  is  safe  to  say  that  most 
of  the  men  who  were  active  on  the  19!20-19'21  team 
will  be  available  again  next  season.  With  these 
as  a  nucleus  Hawk-Eye  should  be  able  to  start 
in  jjromptly  in  the  right  direction  and  "clean  up." 
(ireat  credit  is  due  "Benny"  Levine  for  his  skillful 
management  as  well  as  for  his  steady  playing,  and 
to  Petersen  for  the  splendid  way  in  which  he 
discharged  his  duties  as  captain  and  running  guard. 
As  for  the  rest  of  the  team  it  suffices  to  say  that 
they  were  all  instrumental  in  building  up  and 
maintaining  a  fighting  five  of  whose  record  Hawk- 
Eye  can  well  be  proud.

HAROLD  BIRCHER 
REAPPOINTED  MANAGER 

The  Eastman  Kodak  Baseball  League  will  open 
its  third  season  on  June  4th  with  four  teams,  rep- 
resenting Kodak  Park.  Camera  Works,  Hawk-Eye 
and  the  INFain  Office. 

Harold  liirclier,  who  displayed  much  energy 
and  entluisiasm  coupled  with  considerable  ability 
during  the  season  of  19'-20,  has  again  been  elected 
to  manage  the  Park  outfit.  As  usual  the  players 
of  the  different  teams  must  be  employed  in  the 
plant  which  they  represent  and  Kodak  Park's 
prospects  are  fairly  bright,  as  a  number  of  last 
year's  team  are  availal)le. 

Two  games  will  be  played  every  Saturday 
afternoon  on  the  Kodak  Park  diamond,  and  a 
new  policy  has  Ijeen  adopted  this  year,  which 
should  result  in  obtaining  sufficient  revenue  to 
maintain  the  League  through  the  season.  Other 
years  no  charge  was  made  at  any  of  the  games; 
however,  it  has  been  decided  that  this  season  15 
cents  will  be  asked  for  a  seat  and  a  number  of 
season  passes  are  also  being  ju-inted  which  will  be 
sold  for  $L0()  and  entitle  the  holder  to  a  .seat  at 
eacli  double-lieafler. 

The  first  practice  will  be  held  early  in  May 
and  anyone  desiring  to  try  out  is  requested  to  send 
his  name  to  Manager  Bircher,  in  care  of  the  K.  P. 
A.  A.  Office,  at  once. 

A  word  will  be  in  order  at  this  time  relative  to 
the  support  which  is  needed  and  expected  of  the 
employees.  There  is  sufficient  amount  of  the  right 
kind  of  talent  available  at  Kodak  Park  to  produce 
a  very  good  team.  One  of  the  things  necessary  to 
the  success  of  a  team  isthesupport  of  the  employees, 
and  an  earnest  plea  is  made  that  you  get  behind 
the  Kodak  Park  team  this  season  and  help  us  to 
•'LAND  THAT  PENNANT." 


Helen  G.  Ames  wi.shes  to  thank  the  employees 
of  the  E.  C  &  P.  Department,  also  the  employees 
of  the  Sheet  Film  Department  for  the  sympathy 
and  kindness  shown  to  her  at  the  death  of  her  hus- 
band. Rosell  N.  .\mes. 


A  variet\'  shower  was  given  by  Monica  Powers 
and  Amelia  Hertle,  March  i)th,  in  honor  of  M. 
Mellenia  Sorg  of  the  Main  Office,  whose  marriage 
to  Percy  Robinson  (iunn  of  Building  l'-2,  took  j)lace 
March  !28th,  at  Geneva,  New  York.  Their  many 
friends  wish  them  every  happiness. 


BIG  MONTH  FOR  MR.  STRUTT 

Two  important  events  occurred  in  the  month  of 
March  for  George  W.  Strutt,  Kodak  Park's  official 
guide.  On  the  Srrl  he  completed  eight  years  of 
continuous  faithful  .service  with  the  company, 
and  on  the  31st  he  celebrated  his  C.3th  birthday. 


(iE()R(;E  W.  STRUTT 

The  need  of  a  regular  guide  competent  to  meet 
and  entertain  the  people  who  are  constantly 
visiting  the  Park  became  evident  several  years 
ago,  and  we  were  fortunate  in  obtaining  Mr. 
Strutt  for  this  position.  His  courteous  attentions 
and  the  interesting  and  efficient  manner  in  which 
he  explains  the  details  of  our  plant  to  his  guests, 
have  made  for  him  many  friends  and  everyone 
leaves  the  Works  with  just  the  right  impression. 

Since  coming  to  Kodak  Park  in  1913,  Mr.  Strutt 
has  entertained  over  19,000  visitors,  representing 
every  country  on  the  globe.  19'-21  to  date  has 
l)een  exceptionally  busy,  over  1,000  persons  having 
been  here  up  to  Ajjril  1st.  This  promises  to  be 
the  biggest  year  he  has  ever  had. 

Mr.  Strutt  says  that  he  .is  healthier  than  he  has 
been  in  years.  He  attributes  this  fact  to  the 
beneficial  feature  of  his  work, — the  exercise  he  gets 
by  walking  through  the  Works  several  times  each 
day.  He  expresses  himself  as  hap{)y  and  contented  in 
his  work,  and  feels  a  great  pride  in  all  things  Kodak. 

We  extend  to  him  our  best  wishes  for  many  more 
happy,  healthy  years  to  come.

YARD  B0^VL1^G  SEASON  CLOSES 


After  a  most  exciting  anrl  successful  season 
the  Yard  Bowling  League  closed  its  schedule 
Tuesday,  April  .5th.  Regardless  of  smoke  stacks, 
sticks  and  hard  luck,  cross-fingers,  etc..  wished  on 
the  "Xo-Fooling"  Office  team,  they  finishefl  winners 
by  a  three-game  lead,  having  maintained  this 
position  all  season. 

The  members  of  the  Office  team  j)resented  their 
noble  captain.  Harold  Servise,  with  a  fine  hat 
in  appreciation  of  his  great  interest  and  untiring 
eti"orts  for  his  team's  success.  His  greatest  move 
was  in  filling  the  gap  caused  by  the  loss  of  our 
famous  "Jake." 

The  last  month  of  the  season  a  two-man  tourna- 
ment was  held  and  proved  to  be  a  real  "hummer." 
Everyone  talked  400  and  ,)00  scores,  but  Baker 
and  Underwood  were  the  only  producers,  their  432 
copping  the  high  money  with  Dirkson  and  Nelson 
running  a  good  second. 

Earl  Davis's  "277  landed  the  high  game  prize 
and  Harold  Servise  showed  the  way  for  three 
high  games  with  6.58. 

.\t  a  meeting  held  in  Building  '23  on  April  6th, 
the  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  19'21-2'-2 
season.  President.  Joseph  Matteson;  Secretary, 
Lloyd  Zecker,  and  Treasurer.  Almon  Jeffers. 
It  was  also  voted  to  hold  an  outing  at  an  early

GIRLS'  BASEBALL  UNDER  AVAY 

At  a  meeting  held  earl\-  in  April  plans  were 
discussed  and  ])olicies  adoj)ted  for  the  promotion 
of  girls'  baseball  during  the  coming  summer.  A 
four-team  league  has  been  formed,  and  the  opening 
games  will  be  played  the  first  of  this  month.  This 
plan  worked  well  last  year  and  afforded  recreation 
and  exercise  to  a  greater  lunnber  of  girls  than 
any  other  activity.  The  regular  team  to  represent 
Kodak  Park  is  being  organized  and  will  meet  other 
girls'  teams  during  the  season. 

With  several  of  last  year's  team  available,  among 
them  being  Louise  Singleton,  Julia  Thayer,  Mabel 
Renuilard,  Laura  Duby,  Mar\  ("astle.  Catherine 
Skinner  and  the  Lee  twins,  Ethel  and  Edith,  and 
tlic  addition  to  the  scpiad  of  Bessie  Hincher,  former 
High  School  star,  Harriet  Nol)le  of  last  year's 
North-East  team,  Julia  ("ushing,  Ethel  Boan  and 
Beatrice  .'^ercu,  prospects  for  a  successful  season 
and  the  city  championship  are  very  liright. 

We  urge  you  to  support  the  team,  to  go  to  the 
games  and  show  tho.'^e  who  are  devoting  their 
efforts  to  have  Kodak  Park  rei^resented  in  this 
activity,  that  you  are  with  them.  Watch  for  the 
opening  date  and  be  on  liaiidl

BASKETBALL  SEASON  OVER 

KODAKS  WIN  TEX  AND  LOSE  SEVEN  OF  GAMES  PLAYED 

Taking  everything  into  consideration  the  basket- 
ball season  of  19'20-'-21  can  well  be  called  a  success. 
Seventeen  games  were  played  in  all.  ten  being  won. 
Our  team  scored  four  hundred  and  thirtv-eight 
points  against  three  hundred  and  fiftv  for  our 
()j)j)onents.     Starting     with    a     few     easier     teams 


HERBERT  "RIP'  BENZONT 

Coach,  Kodak  Park  Baskfthall  Team 

which  were  defeated  without  trouble,  the  middle 
of  the  season  found  our  boys  in  fine  shape.  At 
this  time  we  met  and  defeated  some  of  the  best 
teams  in  the  State,  including  the  Buffalo  Lincolns, 
Geneva  Eagles,  Buffalo  K.  of  C,  and  Owasco  Canoe 
Club.  The  tail  end  of  the  schedule  found  us  in  a 
slump,  with  the  result  that  we  lost  five  of  the  last 
six  games  played  l\v  small  margins,  but,  neverthe- 
less, these  defeats  eliminated  us  from  City  and 
Industrial  Championships.  The  famous  Centrals 
administered  two  beatings,  one,  1!)  to  11,  and  the 
second.  14  to  8.  The  Balcos  also  took  the  first 
two  games  of  the  Industrial  Championship  Series, 
25  to  21  and  26  to  1.5.  However,  we  are  inclined 
to  be  optimistic,  and  feel  sure  that  next  season  will 
find  the  Kodak  team  in  the  lead.  This  feeling 
is  strengthened  by  our  last  game  with  the  Buffalo 
Lincolns  at  Buffalo,  which  we  won  20  to  19,  making 
it  two  out  of  three  for  us  against  this  team  which 
has  defeated  the  Centrals  and  Balcos  several  times. 

The  highest  score  made  by  the  Kodaks  in  any 
one  game  was  49  points  against  the  Xiagalks.  This 
team  also  scored  the  greatest  number  against 
us,  their  total  being  32  points.  It  is  interesting 
to  know  that  eleven  of  the  games  played  were 
either  won  or  lost  by  a  margin  of  eleven  points  or 
less,  which  speaks  for  the  quality  of  basketball 
our  boys  put  up. 

First  place  in  the  individual  honors  goes  to 
Hegedorn,  who  scored  31  field  baskets  and  58 
fouls,  totaling  120  points.  Tichenor  is  second 
with  77  points  and  McNeill  third  with  72.  Both 
the  latter  accounted  for  a  few  more  field  goals 
than  Hegedorn,  but  his  total  was  increased  by  his 
foul  shooting. 


It  might  be  well  to  say  a  word  in  connection  with 
the  support  given  the  team  by  the  fans.  At  times 
it  was  quite  good,  particularly  towards  the  end 
of  the  season,  but  at  no  time  did  it  come  up  to 
what  had  been  expected.  This  is  a  mighty  big 
feature  in  the  success  of  a  team,  not  only  financiallv, 
but  morally  as  well.  If  the  players  know  that  the 
fans  are  with  them  and  will  come  out  to  help 
them  win,  it  stimulates  their  spirit  and  does  much 
toward  attaining  this  end.  We  wish  to  thank 
the  loyal  supporters  who  followed  our  boys  through 
the  season  and  assure  them  that  the  success  of  the 
team  is  their  success. 

As  the  curtain  falls,  we  who  love  this  sport 
sigh  in  regret  that  the  season  is  over,  and  liegin  the 
period  of  waiting  luitil  next  fall,  when  we  will  again 
be  gladdened  and  thrilled  by  the  referee's  whistle, 
and  know  that  the  game  once  more  is  on.

Frances  Goss,  of  the  Film  Emulsion  Department, 
passed  away  March  28,  1921,  at  her  home  in  Burke 
Terrace.  Miss  Goss  came  to  this  department  in 
May,  1905,  and  had  attained  a  position  entailing 
great  responsibility.  It  became  necessary  for  her 
to  retire  a  few  years  ago,  due  to  ill  health.  She 
was  held  in  high  esteem  and  regard  by  her  co- 
workers and  employees.  To  her  surviving  relatives 
we  extend  our  deepest  sympathy.

WHY  YOU  SHOULD  GIVE 


Few  persons  realize  the  work  that  is  l)eing  done, 
the  troubles  made  easier,  and  the  care  being  given 
in  the  hospitals  of  Rochester  today.  While  we  are 
well  and  healthy,  how  many  of  us  give  a  thought 
even  to  the  existence  of  these  institutions?  Thank 
(iod  most  of  us  are  well  and  healthy  and  do  not 
need  them!  But  how  about  those  less  fortunate, 
those  who  are  spending  long  weary  days  and  weeks 
in  these  same  hospitals  endeavoring  to  regain 
that  which  we  have? 

When  we  are  called  upon  to  give  toward  tlie 
support  of  the  hospitals  and  other  charitable  and 
semi-charitable  institutions  through  the  ("om- 
numity  Chest,  how  many  of  us  enter  into  it  in  the 
proper  spirit?  Perhaps  we  are  inclined  to  accept 
tiie  sentiments  of  someone  else,  expressed  without 
l)r()]>er  and  just  consideration,  as  our  own,  and  use 
them  as  an  excuse  to  ease  our  conscience  in  not 
doing  what  our  better  self  urges. 

Committee  Visits  Hahnemann  Uos-pltal 

To  know  what  is  actually  being  done,  one  should 
visit  some  of  these  institutions,  as  we  had  the 
pleasure  of  doing  on  Wednesday,  March  30th, 
w  hen,  as  a  committee,  we  called  at  the  Hahnemann 
IIos])ital.  We  were  received  as  you  woiikl  be. 
in  the  most  hospitable  manner  and  conducted 
through  the  hospital  from  top  to  bottom.  We 
saw  room  after  room,  clean,  well  lighted  and  well 
ventilated,  and  neat  alert  nurses  busy  with  patients. 
The  free  tonsil  clinics,  laboratories,  kitcliens,  dining 
rooms,  and  storerooms  evidenced  efficient  man- 
agement, cleanliness  and  order. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  departments  of  tliis 
institution  is  the  Pathological  Laboratory  occupying 
a  large  space  on  the  top  floor.  Wonderful  work  is 
l)eing  done  here  by  expert  scientists,  which  results 
in  proper  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  many  obstinate 
and  serious  cases. 

The  kitchen  is  wonderfully  clean  and  modern 
in  every  detail.  So  are  the  dining  rooms  and  diet 
kitchens  on  each  floor,  where  the  food  is  taken  to 
be  distributed  to  the  patients. 

\\e  bring  this  message  to  you  who  have  not  seen 
for  yourselves  what  is  being  accomplished,  and 
urge  you  to  give  to  your  limit. 

And  Workers  for  the  Blind 

We  next  called  at  the  Rochester  .\ssociation  of 
Workers  for  the  Blind  on  St.  Paul  Street.  This 
was  something  new  to  most  of  us  and  we  were  most 
favorably  impressed.  ^Ir.  Male,  with  whom  we 
talked,  seems  thoroughly  to  understand  the  jjroblem 
he  has  on  his  hands  and  appears  to  i)e  compelent 
to  deal  with  it  in  all  its  phases.  Ilis  objec-t  is 
to  eliminate  as  far  as  possible  all  feeling  of  patronage 
and  to  enal>le  these  unfortunate  persons  to  become 
wage  earners,  and  able  to  take  care  of  themselve-; 
in  a  respectable  manner.  Several  trades  are  taught 
such  as  chair  caning,  rug  weaving,  piano  timing, 
and  some  of  the  men  arc  becoming  skillful  in  differ- 
ent lines  of  work,  titting  them  for  positions  in  some 
of  our  industrial  factories.  Not  a  great  deal  of 
financial  assistance  is  needed  from  the  ('oinnumit\- 
("liest,  for  the  aim  of  the  Association  is  to  liecome 
as  near  .self-sustaining  as  possible.  Rugs,  towels, 
aprons,  dish  cloths  and  numerous  other  articles 
are  made  and  sold  at  a  fair  price. 

We  believe  that  lietter  quarters  should  be  proxid- 


ed,  however,  than  those  available  at  present- 
Tlie  air  was  not  as  clear  and  pure  as  could  be 
desired.  The  actual  conditions  cannot  f)e  seen 
by  the  workers,  but  they  surely  can  feel  that  better 
air  and  light  might  be  had  and  this  we  strongly 
recommend. 

Those  in  charge  are  doing  a  work  that  is  worthy 
of  our  suf)i)ort  and  we  urge  others  to  call  here  and 
perhaps  become  patrons,  thereljy  performing  the 
greatest  good  that  can  be  done.  We  surelv  can 
help  these  unfortunates  to  become  useful,  self- 
reliant  citizens  in  spite  of  their  adversities.

St.  Patrick's  Asylum 
On  the  occasion  of  our  visit  to  St.  Patrick's 
Girls"  Orphan  Asylum  on  Wednesday,  March 
IGth.  we  were  very  much  pleased  with  the  institu- 
tion in  general,  its  modern  facilities,  homelike 
attitude  and  the  cheerful  and  happy  dispositions 
of  the  children.  The  l)uildings  are  modern,  well 
ventilated  and  immaculately  clean.  At  the  p'^esent 
time  there  are  16-1  girls  in  the  institution  ranging 
in  age  from  "2  to  14  years. 

One  important  feature  which  impressed  us  was 
the  well  equipped  and  wholesome  kitchen  and 
dining  hall.  The  chihlren  are  given  three  meals 
each  day,  and  also  a  lunch  after  school,  which  are 
prepared  under  the  direction  of  an  able  and  exper- 
ienced chef.  Every  evidence  of  receiving  an  abund- 
ance of  good,  wholesome  food  is  apparent  from  the 
appearance  of  the  children. 

Only  one  thing  could  be  suggested — and  that  is 
more  room  for  the  smaller  children  in  the  building, 
and  more  spacious  grounds  for  outdoor  recreation. 
However,  taking  everything  into  consideration. 
Sister  Seiicitas  is  to  be  congratulated  on  the  wonder- 
ful institution  in  her  charge,  and  we  appreciate  the 
opportunity  aft\)rdeil  us  of  visiting  St.  Patrick's. 
It  is  wortliy  in  e\ery  way  of  our  support  and  help.

KODAK  PARK  GIRLS  WIX  CHAMPIONSHIP  HONORS 


On  Saturday  evening,  April  '■2nd,  the  Kodaiv  Park 
girls'  basketball  team  closed  a  most  successful 
season,  winning  the  final  game  of  their  schedule 
from  the  Douglas  Girls  of  Pittsburgh,  championship 
girls'  team  of  Pennsylvania,  by  a  score  of  14  to  13. 
The  game  was  fast  and  snappy,  both  teams  playing 
excellent  basketball  and  the  spectators  were  fur- 
nished thrills  aplenty  as  one  side  after  the  other 
scored,  keeping  tiie  count  "nip  and  tuck" 
throughout. 


CHARLES  THOMPSON 

Coach.  Kodak  Park  Girls  Basketball  Team 

Eighteen  games  were  played  during  the  season. 
and  of  this  number  sixteen  were  won.  The  only 
team  to  defeat  our  girls  was  the  C'lark  Munies 
of  Cleveland,  worlfls  championship  girls"  team. 
These  girls  played  at  Kodak  Park  on  two  occasions 
and  won  both  contests.  This,  however,  considering 
the  ability  of  these  players,  did  no  harm,  but  only 
encouraged  our  players  and  resulted  in  their  work- 
ing harder  for  the  balance  of  the  games. 

The  individual  records  of  the  "girl-l)asketeers" 
are  excellent.  Harriet  Noble  leads  the  field  with 
48  field  goals  and  '•2G  fouls,  totaling  l'-2'-2  points. 
Loui.se  Singleton  is  second  with  ().3  points,  and 
Julia  Thayer  and  Tillie  Hanley  next  in  order, 
scoring  44  and  ^28  points  respectively.  Our  two 
guards,  Ethel  Stuck  and  Elizabeth  Fratter,  did 
very  good  defensive  work  all  season  and  were 
largely  responsible  for  our  many  victories. 

"Charlie"  Thompson,  who  has  coached  the  team 
this  season,  is  to  be  congratulated  on  his  success 
in  developing  one  of  the  best  outfits  in  the  country. 
His  knowledge  of  the  game,  applied  in  the  proper 
manner,  resulted  in  the  confidence  of  the  girls  who 
exerted  every  efl^ort  to  do  as  they  were  told.  Mar- 
guerite Ellis,  as  manager,  gave  the  Park  employees 
and  their  friends  many  an  interesting  and  enjoyable 
evening  and  displayed  excellent  judgment   in  her 


selection  of  opponents. 

Although  a  heavy  schedule  was  played  this 
season,  the  girls  show  no  ill  effects,  due  to  the  fact 
that  keeping  in  condition  was  one  of  the  things 
Coach  Thompson  insisted  upon.  The  coming 
season  will  .see  Kodak  Park  ready  to  take  up  the 
game  where  they  have  left  off.

It  is  with  regret  that  the  Yard  reports  the  death 
of  Frank  Fordham.  He  had  been  employed  in  the 
Yard  Department  since  May,  1916,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  working  a  few  months  for  the  Fire  Depart- 
ment and  Power  Department  during  his  first  year. 
On  the  eve  of  March  31st,  while  returning  home 
with  his  family  he  met  with  an  accident  which 
resulted  in  his  instant  death. 

Mr.  Fordham  was  an  industrious  and  diligent 
man.  well  likefl  by  his  superiors  and  fellow  em- 
ployees. He  was  a  musician  and  always  willingly 
supplied  music  and  entertainment  at  the  different 
affairs  of  the  Yard  Department. 

We  wish  to  express  our  deepest  sym[)ath>'  to  his 
wife  and  familv.

ARTHUR  ROGERS 

The  many  friends  of  Arthur  Rogers,  of  the  Plate 
Department,  were  grieved  to  learn  of  his  sudden 
death  which  occurred  on  Monday,  March  14th, 
at  the  Homeopathic  Hospital.  Arthur  was  ill 
only  a  short  time  and  his  death  came  as  a  great 
surprise. 


ARTHUR  ROGERS 

During  the  nine  years  he  had  been  employed 
at  Kodak  Park,  his  kind,  quiet  disposition  had 
earned  for  him  many  close  friends  as  well  as  the 
respect  and  esteem  of  all  who  knew  him.  To  his 
wife  and  family  we  extend  our  most  sincere  expres- 
sions of  sympathy. 


SOCCER  TEAM  STARTS  STROX(; 

The  Kodak  Park  soccer  team  has  played  two 
practice  or  exhibition  games  to  date,  the  first 
on  March  'JTth  against  the  Celtics,  which  finished 
in  a  2 — 2  tie,  and  the  other  on  April  ;5rd  when  they 
defeated  the  Holland  E.  C.  by  the  score  of  <S  to  .'5. 
Tliis  game  proved  easy  for  the  "Parkers"  and  gave 
us  a  chance  to  see  our  new  men  in  action.  This 
was  a  very  pleasing  sight  as  Poster,  Scott,  Erattcr, 
Duthie  and  Larigridgc  all  sliowcil  up  well.  Poster 
at  center  scored  three  goals  in  the  Holland  game 
and  Pratter  two.  Kodak  Park  is  indeed  fortunate 
in  securing  the  services  of  Fratter,  whom  they 
have  been  after  for  a  long  time.  He  is,  l)eyond 
a  doubt,  the  best  outside  left  in  this  district  and 
for  a  number  of  years  iuis  l)een  the  strength  of 
the  MacXaughton  oifcnsc.  Sinuns  and  McKnight 
also  played  excellent  football,  and  the  whole  team 
displayed  a  dash  and  spirit  never  equalled  in  pre- 
vious seasons. 


"Doc"  "i'ates,  who  has  refused  offer  after  offer 
to  look  after  the  training  of  the  team  again,  in 
view  of  the  increased  amount  of  private  work  he 
has  to  attend  to  in  this  line,  at  last,  after  much 
persuasion  has  consented  to  assume  the  work  of 
trainer  for  one  more  year.  "Doc's"  care  of  the 
men  has  had  much  to  do  with  the  success  of  the 
team  in  the  past  and  everyone  is  mighty  pleased 
with  his  decision  to  be  with  us. 


Harold  Sproule,  of  the  Roll  Coating  Department, 
seems  very  arrogant  of  late.  Do  you  wonder!' 
It  is  a  9j^-lb.  girl — "Dorothv  Jane,"  born  April 
.S,  1921. 


E.  &  M.  Stores  can  certainly  save  on  electricity 
now  that  the  diamonds  are  flashing  around.  Yes, 
"Betty"  Sturge  has  one  and  it  means  the  real  thing, 
too.  'Cause  Howard  gave  it  to  her  and  soon  there 
will  be  a  plain  gold  one  to  go  with  it.  We  siu-ely 
wish  Betty  and  Mr.  Gruele  heaps  of  good  luck  and 
happiness. 


GEORGE  COOPER  ENTERS  NEW  WORK 

After  being  employed  for  about  seven  years  as 
foreman  of  the  Assorting  Department  in  Building 
o(t,  (icorge  Cooper  was  transferred  on  March  23rd 
to  the  Yard  Department. 

In  his  new  position  as  Track  Foreman  he  is  to 
have  charge  of  maintenance  of  the  Kodak  Railroad 
^'ards  at  Kodak  Park  and  Kodak  Park  West. 


(;eorge  cooper 

Mr.  Cooper  has  been  employed  at  Kodak  Park 
since  February,  1912,  and  has  made  and  kept  many 
friends.  His  associates  in  Department  .)()  i)rescnted 
him  witli  a  box  of  cigars  aiul  a  beautiful  leather 
chair  u|)oii  his  departure.  All  wish  him  success 
and  joy  in  his  new  position.

ENJOY  PARTY 

St.  Patrick's  Day.  or  rather  night,  was  celebrated 
in  a  most  appropriate  niaiincr  by  the  employees 
of  the  Kodak  Park  Main  Office  together  with 
their  wives  and  friends,  at  the  First  Annual  Dinner 
Dance  of  the  Main  Office. 

About  130  persons  attended.  Dinner  was 
served  promptly  at  6:30  p.  m.  on  the  second  floor 
of  Building  '28,  imder  the  direction  of  Fred  Grastorf. 
Formalities  were  not  in  order,  there  being  no  place 
cards  nor  any  discrimination.  Everyone  found 
a  seat  with  his  or  her  particular  friends  and  pro- 
ceeded to  enjoy  himself.  A  l)it  of  local  color  was 
furnished  by  the  wearing  of  high  green  hats. 

The  dinner  over,  everyone  adjourned  to  the 
Assembly  Hall  where  a  number  of  entertaining 
features  were  produced.  The  hit  of  the  evening 
was  the  dancing  by  the  little  pupils  of  Marjorie 
Miller.  These  youngsters  displayed  talent  hard 
to  equal  and  responded  to  numerous  encores. 
Vocal  selections  by  Ben  MacMillan  and  Frank 
Wilmot,  accompanied  by  Elizabeth  Stubbs  at 
the  piano,  were  also  well  received. 

After  the  entertainment  dancing  was  enjoyed 
for  the  remainder  of  the  evening.  Damon's  orches- 
tra furnished  music,  which  was  all  that  could  be 
desired.  Everyone  voted  the  "First  Annual"  a 
grand  success  and  those  who  were  vmable  to  attend 
received  the  sjTnpathy  of  the  fortunate  ones.  To 
the  Committee  in  charge,  composed  of  Harold 
Bye,  chairman,  Helen  Quinn,  ^lildred  Sheldon, 
F^sther  Furlong,  Beth  St.  Maurice.  Elizabeth 
Stubbs,  Ben  MacMillan  and  Fred  Gardner,  we 
extend  a  vote  of  thanks  and  look  forward  with 
yearning  to  the  "Second  Annual." 


TENNIS  FIENDS  GETTING  ANXIOUS 

Tennis  enthusiasts,  of  which  Kodak  Park  has  a 
goodly  number,  are  impatiently  awaiting  the  word 
to  don  their  flannels  and  chase  the  little  white  ball 
around  the  court.  Already  they  are  practicing 
their  "serves"  and  "strokes"  against  the  garage 
or  back  of  the  house  in  order  to  limber  up  and 
be  in  shape  when  the  courts  are  ready. 

Some  little  "fi.xing  up"  is  necessary  on  the  Park 
courts  tliis  year  before  they  will  be  in  condition 
for  playing,  but  this  will  be  taken  care  of  and 
everything  made  ready  as  soon  as  the  weather 
permits. 

Kodak  Park's  prospects  for  this  season  are  very 
good.  Practically  all  the  members  of  last  year's 
team  are  again  availai)le  and  some  new  talent  will 
also  be  tried  out.  With  Fred  and  George  Willis, 
Wilson,  Thompson,  Smith.  Huse,  ]\Ieulendyke, 
Sprague,  Farley,  Schoen  and  Thomey  to  count  on, 
we  are  confident  of  victory. 

Doubtless  we  will  again  be  represented  in  the 
Rochester  Tennis  League.  Last  season.  Kodak 
finished  in  third  place  after  a  hard  uphill  fight  all 
through  the  schedule.  Other  teams  in  the  League 
are:  Rochester  Tennis  Club.  Meh-ille  Tennis  Club, 
and  Bausch  &  Lomb,  with  a  possibility  that  room 
may  be  made  for  two  more  clubs,  admitting  the 
Camera  Works,  who  last  season  made  a  good 
showing  in  their  independent  matches,  and  the 
Dewey  Avenue  Tennis  Club. 

There  is  always  room  for  a  good  man  on  the  team 
and  players  of  ability  are  not  only  invited,  but  urged 
to  get  in  touch  with  the  manager  of  tennis.

CAMERA  CLUB  HEARS  FINAL  LECTURE  OF  SEASON 


A  large  and  representative  crowd  attended  tlie 
supper,  lecture,  and  motion  picture  entertainment 
given  by  the  Kodak  Park  Camera  ("lub  on  Tuesday 
evening.  April  .5tli. 

The  first  numlier  on  the  program  was  the  supper 
which  was  excellent  and  thoroughly  enjoyed  by 
everyone,  after  which  Rex  B.  Wilsey,  of  the  Re- 
search Laboratory,  gave  a  very  interesting  talk 
on  X-Ray  photography.  This  was  followed  by 
the  showing  of  a  film  demonstrating  the  making 
of  X-Ray  tubes  and  the  X-Ray  machine  in  opera- 
tion, which  was  loaned  us  by  the  General  Electric 
Company.  This  was  the  last  lecture  series  of  the 
season  and  one  of  the  most  interesting  and 
successful. 

During  the  entertainment  which  followed  a 
two-reel  Harold  Lloyd  comedy  was  shown,  an 
animated  cartoon  (courtesy  of  the  North  East 
Electric  Company),  and  a  reel  of  pictiu-es  taken  on 
the  various  Camera  Club  hikes.  The  object  of 
this  evening's  entertainment  was  to  raise  money 
for  the  equipment  in  the  new  dark  rooms.  Space 
has  been  obtained  in  a  l)uilrling  recently  vacated 
by  one  of  the  manufacturing  departments  and 
plans  for  the  necessary  installation  for  dark  rooms 
and  club  rooms  are  being  made.  The  Club  realized 
nearly  840.00,  which  amount  will  go  towards  equip- 
ping   the    new    quarters.     The    musical    numbers 


WHO  WILL  WIS-^ 

The  hardest  fight  in  years  is  being  staged  in  the 
K.  P.  A.  A.  Departmental  Basketball  League 
with  Department  .50,  Research  and  Engineers 
well  bimched  as  they  enter  the  last  lap  of  the 
schedule.  Department  50  at  the  time  of  this 
writing,  is  still  in  the  lead  by  the  narrow  margin 
of  one  game  and  is  closely  pressed  by  the  Research 
team,  which  in  turn  is  only  one  game  ahead  of  the 
Engineers.  There  are  still  five  games  to  be  played. 
In  four  of  the.se  games  the  first  division  teams 
will  meet  the  weaker  outfits,  which  may  result  in 
an  even  closer  bunching  than  at  the  present  time. 
The  final  game,  however,  of  the  schedule  will  be 
between  Department  50  and  the  Engineers,  and 
promises  to  be  a  "hiundinger." 

Interest  in  the  basketball  league  this  .season  has 
been  greater  than  any  time  during  the  past  four 
years.  At  the  beginning  eight  teams  were  entered, 
but  the  Electrical,  Garage,  and  Reel  teams  with- 
drew one  at  a  time,  leaving  the  other  five  to  com- 
plete the  schedule.  Some  mighty  good  men  are 
being  developed  or  staging  comcijacks  in  this 
League  and  considerable  pleasure,  as  well  as 
beneficial  exercise,  is  being  afforded  quite  a  large 
group  of  men. 

A  large  pennant  has  been  offered  by  the  K.  P. 
A.  A.  to  be  awarded  to  the  team  finishing  in  first 
place.  This  trophy  is  much  coveted  and  is  one 
of  the  reasons  for  the  enthusiasm  shown  by  the 
players.

During  the  summer  the  activities  of  the  Club 
will  be  continued  along  outdoor  lines  and  a  number 
of  enjoyable  afiairs  are  under  consideration.  In 
the  fall,  lectures  will  be  resumed  along  with  the 
dark  room  instruction. 

To  Mr.  Harrison  Tuttle  is  due,  in  a  large  measure, 
the  success  of  the  lecture  series  just  closed  and 
the  Club  wishes  to  express  to  him  a  vote  of  appre- 
ciation. Mr.  Tuttle  is  Chairman  of  the  Program 
Committee  for  next  season  and  will  aj)preciate 
suggestions  from  the  members  which  may  result 
in  improvement. 

If  there  is  anyone  who  desires  instruction  in  some 
special  branch  of  photography  in  which  he  may  be 
interested,  communications  addressed  to  the 
Chairman  of  the  Program  Committee  will  bring 
results. 

To  show  that  the  work  of  the  Club  is  already 
receiving  recognition,  we  are  pleased  to  announce 
that  we  were  recently  invited  to  affiliate  with 
the  Associated  Camera  Clubs  of  America.  This 
Association  contains  in  its  membership  twenty-eight 
of  the  most  progressive  Camera  Clubs  in  the 
United  States.  The  principal  object  of  this  body 
is  to  promote  artistic  photography.  Yes,  we  have 
accepted  the  invitation.

KODAK  PARK  BOWLING  TOURXAMEXT 


Twenty-five  two-man  teams  signed  up  for 
comjjetition  in  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  bowling  tournament 
and  tlic  first  matches  were  rolled  off  on  Thursday, 
March  31st.  Due  to  difficulty  in  securing  alleys, 
the  tournament  could  not  he  held  on  one  night 
and  the  plan  of  having  a  certain  percentage  roll 
each  week  before  the  regular  matches  was  adopted. 
In  this  way  the  tournament  extends  over  a  period 
of  four  weeks  and  serves  to  hold  the  enthusiasm  of 
the  men  at  high  pitch  during  the  entire  roll-off. 
In  pairing  up  the  contestants  the  highest  man  is 
bracketed   with   the   lowest.     Working   from   both 


ends  in  this  way  everyone  has  an  even  chance. 
Se\eral  of  the  men  have  built  up  good  averages 
this  season  and  the  final  outcome  is  awaited  with 
interest. 

At  the  present  time  it  is  impossible  to  pick  a 
winner  in  the  League.  The  Indians,  Building 
Xo.  30,  and  Blue  Ribbons  are  well  bunched  at 
the  top  and  the  schedule  will  not  be  completed 
until  tlie  last  of  April.  The  teams  are  all  going 
fine  and  it  is  still  anyone's  pennant.  All  are  trying 
hard  for  a  share  in  the  prize  money  and  the  senti- 
ment of  the  League  is  "Xo  Quarter."

SOMETfflNG  OUT  OF  THE  ORDINARY 
FOR  FOREMEN'S  CLUB 

Roselth  Knapp  Breed,  celebrated  character 
portrayalist,  impersonator,  story  teller  and  humor- 
ist, addressed  the  foremen  at  their  April  meeting 
held  Thursday,  the  14th,  and  presented  .something 
decidedly  different. 

Possessing  primarily  a  keen  understanding  of 
human  nature,  coupled  with  a  natural  histrionic 
ability,  she  is  able  to  depict  different  characters 
in  such  a  way  that  her  own  personality  fades  into 
the  subjects  of  her  stories.  Her  naturalness  drew 
and  held  her  audience  from  start  to  finish  and  every 
one  thoroughly  enjoyed  the  entire  progi-am. 

About  445  members  were  present  and  enjoyed 
the  usual  excellent  dinner.  This  feature  is  in  a 
measure  responsible  for  the  popularity  of  these 
monthly  meetings  and  is  looked  forward  to  almost 
as  much  as  the  speaker.  The  members  are  more 
than  pleased  with  the  type  of  dinner  prepared 
and  the  manner  in  which  it  is  served.  Mr.  Grastorf 
is  to  be  congratulated  on  his  ability  to  meet  these 
extra  demands  on  his  service,  and  it  is  a  wonder  to 
many  how  he  can  do  so  well  in  connection  with  the 
many  duties  which  for  him  constitute  a  day's  labor. 

Plans  are  already  being  discussed  for  the  summer 
activities  of  the  club.  There  will  be  one  more 
regular  meeting  in  ^lay,  after  which  the  committee 
will  go  ahead  on  the  arrangements  for  the  annual 
picnic.  Many  of  the  members  in  view  of  the  pleas- 
ures they  enjoyed  on  the  Cobourg  trip  last  fall,  are 
in  favor  of  substituting  another  water  trip  in  place 
of  the  regular  picnic.  Whatever  is  decided  upon, 
we  can  rest  assured,  will  be  properly  carried  out. 


GOLF  TAKING  STRONG  HOLD 

In  view  of  the  extraordinary  interest  displayed 
in  golf,  it  has  been  decided  to  organize  an  association 
to  be  known  as  the  Kodak  Park  Golf  Club  to 
jn'omote  this  activity  among  the  employees.  At  a 
meeting  held  last  month  plans  were  discussed  and 
arrangements  are  under  way  toward  this  end. 

The  tournament  held  last  .season,  while  the  num- 
ber of  entries  was  small,  proved  a  decided  success 
and  resulted  in  quite  a  number  of  new  players 
getting  started.  Several  of  the  men  have  been 
taking  private  in.struction  diu-ing  the  winter  and 
this  year  may  develop  several  new  "cracks." 
It  is  planned  this  year  to  have  all  those  who  wish 
to  compete  in  the  lO^l  tournament  to  be  held  in 
September  and  October,  send  in  their  names 
before  June  1st  and  then  report  their  low  score 
each  month.  A  record  will  Ije  kept  and  the  tourna- 
ment handicap  ratings  figured  on  these  results. 
There  are  several  very  good  players  at  the  Park, 
including  Fred  Willis,  Percy  H.  Case,  George  Willis, 
.\lbert  Meyn,  Nelson  Bruce  and  Walter  Taylor. 
The  method  to  be  employed  in  allowing  the  handi- 
caps will  eliniinate  any  advantage  for  the  better 
players  and  the  outcome  will  be  the  ground  for 
much  speculation. 

All  persons  interested  are  requested  to  send  their 
names  to  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  Office  and  full  particulars 
will  be  furnished  them. 


We  wish  to  express  our  sincere  sympathy  to  Paul 
Dutton  and  Harry  Zieres,  each  of  whom  sufferer! 
the  loss  of  his  father  during  the  month  of  Marcli.

CLEAR  the  diamond  for  action!  The 
storm  has  Hfted,  and  everything  is 
smooth  for  the  third  voyage  of  the  East- 
man Kodak  Baseball  League. 

At  a  regular  meet- 
ing of  the  League 
held  at  the  Rochester 
Club  on  Thursday, 
March  31st,  plans  for 
a  four-team  circuit 
were  completed,  and 
a  twelve  weeks' 
schedule  was  adopt- 
ed for  the  1921 
season. 

The  annual  elec- 
tion of  officers  was 
the  first  business  of 
this  meeting.  H.  D. 
Haight,  Kodak  Of- 
fice, was  re-elected 
President.  The  Vice- 
Presidency  fell  to  the 
lot  of  Arthur  T. 
("Jerry")  Welle  s. 
Kodak  Park.  Ed- 
ward F.  Goodridge, 
Kodak  Park,  after 
having  served  last 
year  as  Assistant  Treasurer,  was  ad- 
vanced to  the  post  of  Treasurer,  Herbert 
S.  Thorpe,  Camera  Works,  was  made 
Assistant  Treasurer.  Charles  B.  Tutty, 
Jr.,  Kodak  Office,  who  was  the  first 
Secretary  of  the  League  in  191  J),  comes 
back  into  his  own  and  will  act  as  Secretary 
and  scribe  for  the  Kodak  circuit  (hiring 
the  coming  season.

pions of  1919  and  runners-up  last  season, 
Kodak  Park,  and  Kodak  Office.  Premo 
and  Folmer-Century 
both  decided  not  to 
combine  with  any  of 
the  other  plants  in 
putting  a  joint  team 
on  the  field.  There 
are,  however,  in  each 
of  these  plants  a  few 
players  who  have 
their  hearts  set  on 
swinging  the  willow 
another  year.  These 
players  will  be  given 
the  option  of  joining 
with  either  Hawk- 
Eye  or  Kodak  Office, 
the  only  stipulation 
being  that  neither 
of  these  plants  shall 
at  any  one  time  use 
more  than  three  play- 
ers from  the  two 
south  side  branches. 
The  schedule  calls 
for  Opening  Day  on 
Saturday,  June  4th,  and  games  will  be 
played  each  Saturday  from  then  until 
Labor  Day,  with  the  exception  of  July 
•"^nd.  Double  heatlers  will  ho  played  each 
Saturday  afternoon  on  the  Kodak  Park 
diamond,  the  first  game  starting  at  two 
o'clock  and  the  second  at  four.  In  this 
way  each  team  in  the  League  will  meet 
evcrv  other  team  four  times  in  the  course

will  be  used,  umpires  alternating  for  each 
game  of  the  double-header. 

Another  new  departure  in  the  plans  for 
the  coming  season  is  the  decision  to  make 
the  League  self-supporting  by  charging 
admission  to  all  games.  Season  tickets 
giving  admission  to  all  of  the  twenty- 
four  games  will  be  sold  for  $1.00  per 
ticket.  For  single  admission  tickets, 
15  cents  will  be  charged  for  each  double- 
header. 


Prospects  for  a  high-calibre  League  are 
indeed  excellent.  All  of  the  plants  have 
their  1920  line-ups  jjractically  intact, 
and  new  talent  should  strengthen  the 
various  rosters  considerably.  Anyw^ay, 
the  plant  that  emerges  on  top  after  the 
coming  twelve  weeks  of  battle,  is  going 
to  have  no  lead-pipe  cinch  of  it — and 
woe  betide  any  challengers  for  that  In- 
dustrial Championship  won  last  fall  by 
the  doughty  boys  from  Hawk-Ej^e! 


FOUL  TIPS 


"Daddy  Dutch"  Irwin  has  l)Iossomed  out 
into  a  full-fledged  magnate.  Our  friend 
Harry  is  carrying  a  full  line  of  liaseball  shoes, 
and  says  he  wants  to  do  business  with  the 
hoys  in  the  Kodak  League  this  year. 
They're  reasonable,  too,  avers  "Dutch." 
(Adv.)  

Lee  Yoder  expects  to  have  the  flag  all  won 
before  August  1st.  He's  got  all  of  his  1921 
outfit  left — and  some  more.  That  Camera 
Works  Indoor  League  is  a  great  "feeder"  for 
Lee's  team. 

"Bill"  Fitzgerald,  who  used  to  cover  the 
hot  cf)rner  for  the  Jack  Robertson  gang,  is  a 
headliner  with  the  Colgate  University  squad. 

"Walt"  Hardy,  who  is  to  play  the  Connie 
Mack  role  for  Kodak  Office  this  year,  is 
counting  heavily  on  the  expected  influx  of 
"college  boys"  aroimd  July  1st.  That  one- 
week  eligibility  clau.se  ought  to  help  the  pen- 
pushers  a  lot. 


"Doc"  Craib's  been  spreading  around  a  tale 
of  woe,  all  blue  and  a  mile  wide;  but  we'll  take 
that  with  large  lumps  of  salt.  We  know  that 
Hawk-Eye  crew:  they've  got  a  wild-cat  grip 
on  that  flat,  and  it'll  be  nobody's  cinch  to 
yank  it  away  from  'em. 

Back  to  the  fold  we  welcome  "Charlie" 
Tutty,  arch-promoter  of  athletic  ventures, 
sport  wTiter,  and  himself  no  mean  athlete. 
''Charlie"  worked  hard  as  Secretary  in  1919, 
when  the  League  was  still  in  the  infant  stage, 
and  now  he's  back  in  his  old  niche  again. 

If  the  plans  of  Walter  Hapgood,  part  owner 
and  business  manager  of  the  Rochester 
Internationals,  go  through,  .some  June  day 
will  find  a  picked  team  of  Kodak  Leaguers 
appearing  at  Baseball  Park  against  a  major 
league  outfit.  That's  the  present  "dope," 
and  if  it  goes  through,  this  should  make 
another  "Hou.se  of  David"  attraction.

COLTIT  STARS  END  WINTER  ACTIVITY  WITH  CiOOD  MARGIN' 
IN    -WIN"  COLUMN": 


BASKETBALL,  adjudged  by  many  of 
our  number  to  be  without  a  peer  in 
the  reahn  of  indoor  sport,  has,  with  the 
advent  of  sultry  days,  and  daily  reports 
from  the  spring  training-camps,  silently 
"folded  its  tent"  and  stolen  away — until 
another  winter. 

Teams  at  Camera  Works,  Kodak  Office 
and  Premo  closed  their  schedules  with 
games  recorded  in  the  April  number  of 
the  Magazine,  but  Kodak  Park  and  Hawk- 
Eye  continued  to  play  through  the  last 
two  weeks  of  March.  The  Kodak  Park 
girls,  during  this  period,  added  four  more 
scalps  to  their  already  long  string,  and 
finished  the  year  with  a  record  of  sixteen 
games  won,  and  two  lost — a  most  credit- 
able achievement  indeed.  Paramount 
among  their  accomplishments  stands  their 
defeat  of  the  Douglas  Girls,  of  Pitts])urg, 
champions  of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania, 
by  a  14 — 13  score  on  Saturday,  April  13th. 
The  Kodak  Park  men  lost  the  second 
games  of  the  series  with  both  the  Centrals 
and  the  Balcos,  but  closed  the  year  with 
another  victory  over  the  Buffalo  Lincolns, 
thus  taking  two  out  of  three,  and  the 
series.  An  unusual  feature  of  this  series 
was  the  fact  that,  in  each  of  the  three 
games,  but  a  single  point  separated  winner 
from  loser. 

Hawk-Eye  girls  defeated  Stromberg- 
Carlson  and  Silver  Springs  and  then  hung 
up  their  suits,  while  the  Hawk-Eye  men 
finished  with  a  win  over  Stromberg- 
Carlson. 

Already  rumors  are  abroad  that  next 
year  will  see  a  Kodak  basketball  league 


with  at  least  four  teams  represented,  and 
perhaps  a  girls'  league  as  well.  Here's 
hoping  I

ALL-KODAKS  WINNERS  AT  Bl  FFALO 


YES,  we're  onthemapand all  it  re(|uired 
was  a  score  of  "2709.  And,  if  you 
feel  elated  at  the  success  of  our  bowlers, 
thank  Mura,  Servise,  Hinterleiter,  \'ogler 
and  Kraus  for  the  place  and  name  these 


men  gained  for  Kodak  in  its  first  showing, 
March  '■24-'-2.5,  at  the  National  Tournament 
of  tlie  American  Powling  Congress. 

Minus  tournament  experience  and  the 
proverbial    "beginner's    luck,"    the    All-

THE  KODAK  MAGAZINE 


Kodak  team  managed  to  come  through 
the  fray  with  a  score  that  placed  them 
among  the  winners.  Tournament  alleys 
are  brand  new,  and  if  you  are  a  bowler  you 
realize  how  difficult  it  is  to  make  the  old 
ball  sail  into  the  pocket  on  a  new  alley 
and  clear  away  the  pins.  Splits  galore 
and  poor  breaks  account  for  the  score  that 
the  Kodakers  pinned.  Kraus,  the  cap- 
tain of  the  tournament  team,  says  that, 
except  for  an  excessive  number  of  splits,  a 
three  thousand  game  would  have  been  a 
cinch.    Vogler  and  Kraus  formed  the  onlv 


team  in  the  two-man  event  that  captured 
a  prize,  their  score  being  1155. 

Rochester  has  long  been  the  home  of 
bowlers  to  be  feared  at  these  National 
Tournaments.  Now  that  the  Kodakers 
have  thrown  their  hats  in  the  ring,  other 
cities  are  not  nodding  assent  by  any 
means,  for  the  Camera  Bowling  League 
has  gained  no  little  fame  during  its 
twenty  years  of  bowling.  Next  year  will 
see  us  at  Toledo,  and  we'll  carry  home 
one  of  the  first  five  prizes.  Thanks, 
bowlers,  for  your  aood  work!

GRAFLEX 

There  is  certainty  in  picture-making  with  a  Graflex. 
The  user  of  the  Graflex  brushes  aside  the  usual  handicaps — 
he  almost  disregards  subject,  time,  place  or  light. 

The  l-lUOO  of  a  second  snap  that  stops  the  bird  on  the 
wing,  the  slow  snap  for  an  indoor  portrait,  the  prolonged  time 
exposure — all  are  easily  within  its  scope. 


Graflex  widens  the  possibilities  of  pictorial 
achievement.

By  Way  of  Introduction 

WHEN  you  want  to  introduce  a  good  fellow 
to  a  bunch  of  good  fellows,  yoxx  go  at  it 
something  like  this:  —  "Folks,  meet  my  good 
friend,  Mr.  So  and  So,"  and  then  everybody 
smiles  and  proceeds  to  get  acquainted.  So  why 
isn't  it  a  good  plan  to  follow  in  this  particular 
instance.    Anyhow  let's  try  it,  so,  here  goes: — 

Fellow  Workers  of  the  Kodak  organization, 
meet  our  new  worker,  "The  Kodak  Magazine." 

The  Kodak  Magazine  is  to  be  your  publi- 
cation, edited  by  employees  and  conducted 
throughout  for  emploj^ees,  and  will  have  the 
hearty  sanction  and  co-operation  of  the  Com- 
pany. Its  mission  will  be  to  make  you  better 
acquainted  with  each  other  and  with  the  Com- 
pany and  to  further  our  mutual  interests  in 
every  possible  way. 

The  goods  you  help  to  produce  and  distribute 
have  a  world-wide  reputation  for  quality  and 
dependability,  and  their  use  extends  through 
an  amazing  range  in  the  business  and  scientific 
world,  to  say  nothing  of  the  pleasure  and  happi- 
ness afforded  through  the  field  of  recreation. 
To  establish  and  maintain  such  a  reputation 
has  required  an  organization  of  equal  quality — 
and  of  this  you  are  a  part. 

We  trust  that  you  will  welcome  this  new- 
comer to  your  ranks  and  help  individually  to 
make  it  worth  while.

This,  the  first  issue  of  tlie  "Kodak 
Magazine,"  would  not  be  complete 
without  the  picture  of  the  oldest,  in 
point  of  service,  employee  of  the  Com- 
pany, Mr.  George  Eastman. 

As  a  matter  of  history,  Mr.  Eastman 
states  that  he  started  work  as  an  office 
boy  when  he  was  fourteen  years  old  at 
three  dollars  a  week,  and  has  never  been 
out  of  a  job  since. 

After  forty  years  in  the  business,  Mr. 
Eastman  is  still  a  worker  and  a  producer, 
with  all  the  energy  and  enthusiasm  that 
has  made  "Kodak"  known  the  world 
around. 


It's  queer,  isn't  it,  how  one  thought 
leads  to  another?  We  happened  to  be 
reading  a  little  story  by  Bruce  Barton 
where  he  tells  of  an  incident  that  hap- 
pened while  he  was  fixing  over  his  home 
in  the  country.  One  of  his  farmer 
friends  happened  along  and  stopped  for  a 
chat. 

"Going  to  put  all  those  three  bath 
tubs  in  one  house,"  he  asked.  I  said, 
"We  are."  "Well,"  he  said,  "I  never 
w^ent  in  much  for  such  things.  I  figure 
my  place  was  good  enough  for  my  father 
and  it  is  good  enough  for  me."     All  of 


which  is  a  highly  mistaken  idea,  for  we 
must  keep  progress  with  the  w'orld. 

The  thoTight  that  the  little  story 
started  with  us,  however,  was  this: 

Very  few  of  us  continue  on  the  same 
job  year  after  year;  we  change  to  another 
machine,  or  are  transferred  to  another 
department,  or  move  up  a  peg  or  two  in 
the  organization — and  so  it  seems  that 
for  the  benefit  of  the  chap  who  comes  after 
us  that  we  should  try  to  leave  the  old  job 
a  little  better  than  we  found  it.  What- 
ever helps  any  one  person  in  the 
organization  to  do  better  work  helps  the 
whole  concern,  and  that  includes  you. 
If  you  can  make  the  newcomer  who 
takes  up  your  old  work  feel  that  he  will 
have  to  "go  some"  to  hold  the  pace  you 
set,  you  add  to  his  feeling  of  respect  for 
you,  and  to  your  own  for  yourself. 


Once  in  a  while  the  editor  is  going  to 
ask  you  to  allow  him  to  depart  from 
the  editorial  "we,"  and  say  a  few  words 
in  person. 

The  reason  for  this  is  that  sometimes  I 
may  want  to  say  something  that  I  can't 
get  over  to  you  in  any  other  way. 

I  know  I  am  going  to  have  a  whole 
lot  easier  time  than  some  editors  hold- 
ing down  the  same  kind  of  a  job, 
because  I  am  working  for  just  about 
the  finest  organization  in  the  United 
States,  and  ivith  the  sort  of  folks  that 
make  such  an  organization  possible.  I 
know  that  this  is  so  because  I  have  worked 
among  you  for  a  good  many  years. 

We  have  grown  to  be  a  pretty  big 
family,  and  to  keep  us  in  touch  with  each 
other,  and  to  welcome  newcomers  and 
make  them  feel  at  home  with  us  is  the 
reason  for  my  new  job. 

I  like  my  job. 

I  want  to  make  it  a  big  one,  and  a 
happy  one,  and  I  can  with  your  help. 

Will  you? 

I  believe  you  wnll.

THE    KODAK    AL\GAZL\E 


YOUR  OWN  HOME 

PLAN  OF  THE  KODAK  EMPLOYEES  ASSOCUATIOX  (IXCORPORATED) 
TO  ASSIST  EMPLOYEES  I\  THE  PURCHASE  OF  HOMES 


THE  Association  will,  in  proper  cases, 
and  as  far  as  other  demands  upon 
its  funds  will  permit,  make  loans  to 
employees  to  enable  them  to  purchase 
homes.  Since  the  funds  of  this  Asso- 
ciation are  to  be  used  for  the  benefit 
of  all  of  the  employees  it  is  necessary  that 
in  loaning  such  funds  the  directors  of 
the  Association  take  a  1 1  reasonable 
precautions  to  prevent  losses.  For  that 
purpose  the  following  requirements  must 
be  complied  with  by  employees  making 
applications  for  these  loans : 

(1)  The  employee  must  be  prepared  to 
pay  at  least  ten  'per  cent,  of  the  purchase 
price  of  the  property. 

(2)  This  Association  icill  not  loan  more 
than  thirty  per  cent,  of  the  amount  of  the 
first  mortgage. 

(3)  The  loan  from  this  Association 
must  he  secured  by  mortgage  upon  the 
property  payable  with  interest  at  six  per 
cent,  by  deducting  an  agreed  sum  from 
the  employee's  weekly  or  monthly  pay. 

(4)  The  value  of  the  property  to  be 
purchased,   the  purchase  price  and   the 


terms  of  payment  must  be  approved  as 
fair  and  reasonable  by  the  Association 
and  the  title  to  the  property  must  be 
approved  by  the  Legal  Department. 

(5)  The  record  of  the  employee  apply- 
ing for  the  loan  must  be  satisfactory,  term 
of  employment  not  less  than  one  year, 
and  earnings  appear  sufficient  to  meet 
payments  upon  the  unpaid  purchase 
price  and  charges  for  interest,  taxes, 
insurance  and  repairs. 

(6)  The  mortgage  to  the  Association 
may  be  made  subject  to  j)rior  mortgage 
or  mortgages  to  secure  a  portion  of  the 
purchase  price,  but  the  amount  of  such 
prior  mortgage  or  mortgages,  together 
with  the  amount  of  the  mortgage  to  the 
Association,  must  not  be  more  than 
ninety  per  cent,  of  the  purchase  price. 

(7)  Applications  for  these  loans  may 
be  made  to  the  Plant  Manager  or  to  the 
Secretary,  James  S.  Havens,  Main  Office, 
who  will  be  supplied  with  application 
blanks,  but  all  loans  must  be  passed 
upon  by  the  Board  of  Directors  or 
Executive  Committee  of  the  Association. 


TWENTY-EIGHT  KODAKERS  QUALIFY 
AS  SAFETY  MEN 


Twenty -eight  Eastman  Kodak  Com- 
pany employees  have  received  diplomas 
from  Rochester  Chamber  Local  No.  9  of 
the  National  Safety  Council  for  having 
successfully  completed  the  Safety  course 
given  by  the  Council  this  past  winter. 
In  addition,  one  of  the  graduates,  Richard 
H.  Jennings,  Safety  Engineer  at  Camera

KEEPING  FIT 

HOW  THE  MEDICAL  DEPARTMENT  CAN  HELP 


DR.  W.  A.  SAWYER 

Medical  Director 


"~V7^ES  sir,  that  Tom  is  some  lad;  every 

X  morning  he  comes  in  with  a  grin  on 
his  face,  works  like  a  horse  all  day,  and 
w'hen  quitting  time  comes  he  is  just  as 
full  of  'pep'  as  ever;  and  INIary  over  there 
hasn't  missed  but  one  day  in  two  years, 
and  that  was  when  she  went  to  a  wed- 
ding." ^Yhat  is  the  answer?  Good  health, 
that  is  all. 

Did  you  ever  stop  to  think  how  much 
the  good  health  of  your  co-workers,  to 
say  nothing  of  your  own,  means  to  you? 

Healtliy  folks  are  cheerful;  they  are 
easier  to  get  along  with;  their  very  near- 
ness helps  you  to  feel  good  and  to  do  your 
full  day's  work  with  less  effort. 

Your  own  good  health,  or  your  lack  of 
it,  affects  not  only  you  and  the  nieml)ers 
of  your  family,  but  every  o^her  worker  in 
the  Company.  .^  ^  cfUn/  /m^ 

Supposing  Will  Jones  over  in  the  Shut- 
ter Department,  at  the  Camera  Works,  is 


a  bit  "off  his  feed"  and  doesn't  turn  out 
his  usual  amount  of  work.  This  holds  up 
production  and  prevents  someone  from 
getting  his  Kodak  to  work  to  use  up  the 
film  you  twe^elping  to  produce  down  at 
Kodak-Park. 

The  whole  organization  of  which  you 
are  a  part  is  just  like  the  works  of  a 
watch;  if  any  one  part,  no  matter  how- 
small,  gets  out  of  kilter,  it  affects  the 
whole  works.  And  to  take  the  selfish 
viewpoint  for  a/Onoment,  it  is  lots  more 
fun  to  be  hedlthy  and  well  than  the 
reverse. 

By  the  same  token,  it  is  far  easier  to 
keep  well  than  it  is  to  get  well,  and  this 
brings  us  down  to  the  reason  for  our 
Medical  Department.  Just  because  we 
want  you  to  like  him  as  much  as  those 
of  us  do  who  have  already  come  in  con- 
tact with  him,  we  are  printing  a  picture 
of  Dr.  W.  A.  Sawyer,  the  head  of  this 
Department. 

Dr.  Sawyer  is  a  graduate  of  a  famous 
medical  college  and  can  tack  a  whole  lot 
of  letters  after  his  name,  and  has  had  all 
kinds  of  experience,  so  he  is  well  fit- 
ted to  head  our  Medical  Department, 
and  every  one  of  his  assistants  is  equally 
capable  for  his  or  her  respective  position 
— and  equally  agreeable. 

The  old-fashioned  idea,  from  which  Dr. 
Sawyer  dissents,  was  to  see  a  doctor  only 
when  you  were  sick,  and  to  take  chances 
between  times.  The  modern  and  much 
more  satisfactory  way  is  to  take  measures 
to  keep  well,  and  to  nip  in  the  bud  any 
symptoms  that  may  arise. 

Now  it  has  been  easy  to  prove  how  the 
sickness  and  absence  from  duty  directly 
affect,  not  only  the  individual  employee, 
but  every  other  employee  in  the  factory 
as  well,  by  slowing  up  production. 

Our  last  year's  report  shows  that  an 
average  of  ten  and  one-half  days  were 
lost  per  employee,  through  sickness.    This 


8 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


average  is  far  too  high,  and  can  be  quickly 
reduced  by  your  co-operation. 

Lots  and  lots  of  folks  don't  like  to  visit 
a  doctor,  and  put  it  off  just  as  long  as 
they  can,  so  that  when  they  finally  do  get 
around  to  it,  the  doctor  has  a  real  job 
on  his  hands. 

This  may  be  due  partly  to  the  fact 
that  the  old-fashioned  doctor  was  a  grave, 
solemn  person  who  threw  a  scare  into  you 
before  he  commenced  to  find  out  what  was 
the  matter  with  you. 

Now  you  won't  find  Dr.  Sawyer  nor 
any  of  his  assistants  that  way  at  all. 
You  will  be  met  with  a  smile  and  made  to 
feel  at  home  at  once,  and  you'll  begin  to 
feel  better  right  off. 

The  Medical  Department  has  published 
and  will  continue  to  issue  pamphlets  and 
bulletins  containing  simple  and  easily 
carried  out  rules  for  avoiding  or  overcom- 
ing the  most  of  our  common  ailments; 
it  will  pay  you  to  read  all  of  them  care- 
fully, and  take  them  home  to  your 
family. 

One  great  source  of  lost  time  and  serious 
after  effects  is  the  lack  of  attention  to 
minor  injuries,  or  improper  attention  by 
someone  not  qualified  to  properly  give 
first  aid. 

Case  after  case  could  be  mentioned 
where  lack  of  attention  to  some  slight 
injury,  such  as  a  small  cut,  scratch,  or 
insect  bite  has  led  to  serious  and  some- 
times fatal  cases  of  blood  poisoning. 

If  any  of  these  things  happen  to  you, 
don't  put  off  having  them  properly  at- 
tended to.  Go  at  once  to  the  Medical 
Department  in  your  plant  and  be  fixed  up. 

If  you  feel  generally  out-of-sorts,  tell 
the  nurse  about  it.  Nine  times  out  of  ten 
some  simple  remedy  will  straighten  you 
out,  and  if  it  proves  to  be  something  more 
serious,  you  have  the  services  of  the 
whole  Medical  Department  to  advise 
you. 

Co-operate  with  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment in  keeping  yourself  fit;  good  health 
is  priceless  and  of  the  utmost  importance 
to  you  and  your  family. 


THE  FIRST  DAY 

Do  you  remember  the  first  day  you 
came  to  work?  Everything  was  strange 
and  unfamiliar — your  surroundings,  your 
fellow-employees  and  your  work.  If  it  was 
your  first  job,  you  felt  that  everyone  was 
looking  at  you,  and  then  perhaps  a  few 
days  later  you  wished  that  someone 
U'ould  look  at  you  and  give  you  a  smile  of 
encouragement . 

And  that  chap  that  did  come  over  and 
said,  "Hello,  how  are  you  getting  along?" 
and  gave  you  a  hearty  handshake,  and 
helped  to  make  you  feel  at  home :  Maybe 
this  was  a  good  many  months  or  even 
years  ago,  but  you  haven't  forgotten  him, 
have  you? 

Perhaps  the  newcomer  has  lived  right 
here  in  town,  maybe  all  his  life,  and  so 
when  the  work  day  is  over,  he  can  forget 
his  daytime  lonesomeness  in  his  home, 
or  with  his  other  friends. 

On  the  other  hand,  he  may  just  have 
arrived  in  town,  doesn't  know  a  soul,  has 
to  live  in  a  room  somewhere,  and  eat  in 
some  restaurant. 

If  this  has  ever  happened  to  you,  you 
know  just  how  he  feels. 

And  again,  has  it  ever  occurred  to  you 
that  even  some  old-timer  in  your  depart- 
ment might  at  times  be  lonely  and  in  need 
of  companionship  and  sympathy? 

Through  force  of  circumstances,  an  old 
employee  in  a  department  with  nearly  one 
hundred  people  found  his  home  broken  up 
and  he  had  to  take  refuge  in  a  boarding 
house.  Some  time  later  he  w  as  approached 
on  some  department  "get  together"  affair, 
and  his  reply  was  characteristic: 

"Get  together!  Oh  piffle!  Here  I  have 
lived  alone  for  three  years,  and  in  all  that 
time,  just  one  man  in  the  department  has 
ever  invited  me  to  his  home:  If  you  fel- 
lows want  to  get  together,  you  can  keep  on 
doing  it  without  me." 

Give  a  thought  once  in  a  while  to  the 
newcomer,  and  to  the  rest  of  your  fellow- 
workers:  Maybe  some  day  you'd  be 
thankful  for  one  vourself.

A  MODERN  APPLICATIOX 


AESOP  wrote  fables  and  good  ones, 
else  they  would  not  have  survived 
all  these  many  years.  Do  you  recall 
the  one  in  which  he  tells  how  to  get  the 
best  out  of  a  man?  It  is  the  fable  of 
"The  ^Yind  and  the  Sun."  If  you 
remember,  a  dispute  arose  between  them 
as  to  which  could  sooner  make  a  Traveler 
take  off  his  cloak. 

The  Wind  blew  furiously  with  all  his 
might.  It  almost  tore  the  cloak  off,  but 
the  Traveler  only  wrapped  himself  the 
more  closely  and  held  on. 

Then,  the  Sun  had  its  turn.  It  shone. 
Just  as  soon  as  the  Traveler  felt  its  warm 
rays  he  willingly  took  off  his  cloak. 

All  living  things  respond  favorably  to 
warmth,  and  this  applies  particularly 
to  us  humans.  This  old  fable  came  to 
mind  because  we  are  so  much  interested 
in  the  proper  building  up  of  the  Sugges- 
tion System  throughout  the  organization. 

Everything  that  helps  one  department 
in  the  organization  helps  the  vrhole 
organization,  and  in  turn  directly  or 
indirectly  each  individual,  and  every 
adopted  suggestion  is  equally  far-reaching. 

Without  doubt  many  a  good  suggestion 
gets  no  further  than  the  brain  of  the 
person  with  whom  it  originates  because 
the  employee  is  not  quite  sure  as  to  its 
merit  and  hesitates  to  talk  it  over  with 
his  foreman  or  department  head,  because 
he  feels  that  such  advances  may  not  be 
welcome.  In  very  many  cases  this  is  a 
mistaken  idea  on  the  part  of  the  employee, 
just  because  his  foreman  is  a  bit  brusque 
in    manner,    rarelv    smiles,    or   seems   to 


have  no  time  for  any  conversation  with 
his  people.  The  employee  must  remember 
that  his  foreman  has  a  good  many  things 
on  his  mind  and  is  constantly  thinking 
about  them,  which  most  naturally 
accounts  for  his  seeming  reserve,  but  that 
should  not  prevent  him  from  putting 
his  ideas  forward. 

Every  foreman,  superintendent,  or 
other  executive  worthy  of  holding  his 
job  is  always  on  the  lookout  for  new 
ideas  and  realizes  that  all  the  good  ideas 
cannot  come  from  him  alone. 

More  than  once  suggestions  that  in 
themselves  have  seemed  hardly  worth 
while  have  led  to  other  things  very  much 
worth  while;  so  it  will  pay  to  thoroughly 
consider  every  suggestion  brought  to 
light.  Every  suggestion  cannot  be 
adopted;  sometimes  they  are  really 
trivial;  sometimes,  unknown  to  the 
suggester,  they  are  already  under  con- 
sideration, or  have  been  previously 
rejected  as  not  practical.  Sometimes  the 
suggestion  has  merit  but  will  cost  too 
much  to  put  in  operation,  or  while 
working  to  the  benefit  of  one  part  of  the 
business  will  be  harmful  to  another. 

Some  big  ideas  have  been  brought 
to  light  through  the  Suggestion  System, 
and  through  which  we  all  have  benefited. 

If  you  have  an  idea  for  a  suggestion 
go  to  your  foreman  or  department  head, 
talk  it  over  with  him  so  you  can  present 
it  in  the  best  possible  form. 

If  you  are  one  to  whom  an  employee 
should  naturally  turn,  just  remember 
how  the  Sun  beat  out  the  Wind. 


When  you  do  not  understand,  don't  be  ashamed  to  ask.     There  was  a 
time  when  the  man  who  will  explain  it  to  you  did  not  understand  it  himself.

A  MAN'S  SIZED  JOB 


WHEN  you  exercised  your  right  of 
franchise  last  Christmas  time,  and 
cast  one  ballot  for  the  person  you  wanted 
to  represent  you  in  the  Kodak  Employees 
Association,  Incorporated,  did  you  realize 
how  much  responsibility  you  were  helping 
to  place  on  somebody's  shoulders? 

These  are  the  six  representatives  chosen 
by  the  December  election  as  members  of 
the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Association: 

Kodak  Park 

Robert  X.  Reid Electric  Shop 

Camera  Works 

S.  Herbert  Rogers.  . .  .Engineering  Uc[)artnient 
Maix  Office 

Harry  S.  Irwin Shipping  Department 

Hawk-F^ye  Works 

Edward  J.  Thiem Tool  Department 

Premo  Works 

Frank  C.  Sherman.  .Experimental  Department 
Folmer-Cextury 

Charles  E.  Dorsey.  .  .  .Inspection  Department 

Their  job  is  nothing  less  than  that  of 
joint  custodians  of  a  two-million-dollar 
funfl. 

Papers  of  incorporation  for  the  Kodak 
Employees  Association,  Incorporated, 
were  filed  with  the  county  clerk  on 
January  14th.  Mr.  Eastman  is  President 
of  the  Board  of  Directors,  which  includes, 
in  addition  to  the  six  elected  representa- 
tives, the  Manager  of  each  Plant,  and  a 
representative  of  the  Management  from 
the  Main  Office. 

The  Association  has  been  formed  to 
direct  the  handling  of  the  money  in 
what  has  been  called  the  Welfare  Fund, 
the  potential  amount  of  which  is 
$2,000,000.  The  original  fund  was 
established  by  setting  aside  $1,000,000 
from  the  Company's  surplus.  This  will 
be  increased  to  nearly  $2,000,000  by 
the  proceeds  of  the  sale  to  employees  of 
approximately  10,000  shares  of  stock 
donated  by  Mr.  Eastman. 

Among  the  objects  of  the  Association, 
as  set  forth  in  the  incorporation  papers, 
are,  to  administer  all  funds  held  by  it  for 
the  benefit  of  the  employees  of  the 
Eastman  Kodak  Company  of  New  Jersey, 
or  of  any  subsidiary  corporation  of  that 


Company,  with  power  to  apply  in  the 
discretion  of  the  Association,  such  funds, 
principal  or  income,  to  the  benefit  of  any 
such  employees  during  illness,  or  while 
disabled  by  accident  or  other  misfortune, 
and  with  power  to  take  appropriate 
action  to  safeguard  the  interests  of  the 
employees  in  the  stock  distribution  plan 
of  the  Company,  and  with  power  to 
assist  such  employees  to  acquire  homes, 
or  to  provide  educational  and  recreation 
facilities,  or  promote  their  welfare  and 
well-being  by  any  appropriate  means. 

These  elected  representatives,  then, 
are  signally  honored  by  the  confidence 
their  fellow  employees  have  displayed  in 
choosing  them  for  this  important  post. 
They  are  likewise  placed  under  a  heavy 
responsibility  to  their  fellows  for  the 
manner  in  which  they  discharge  their 
duties  as  custodians  of  the  large  funds 
which  the  Association  will  administer. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Kodak 
Employees  As.sociation,  Incorporated,  was 
held  at  the  Premo  Works  on  the  evening 
of  Saturday,  January  17,  1920.  By-laws 
were  adopted,  and  the  following  officers 
were  elected: 

President George  Eastman 

First  Vice-President S.  Herbert  Rogers 

Second  1' ice-President Robert  X.  Reid 

Treasurer J.  L.  Gorham 

Secretary James  S.  Havens 

Assistant  Secretary Harry  S.  Irwin 

Members  of  the  Executive  Committee: 
James  H.  Haste,  John  A.  Robertson, 
Charles  E.  Dorsey,  S.  Herbert  Rogers. 

Since  this  first  meeting  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Employees  Association 
has  adopted  two  important  measures. 
At  the  meeting  of  April  9,  1920,  the 
Association  adopted  the  plan  of  payments 
to  employees  who  have  been  absent  on 
account  of  illness,  which  is  described  in 
the  announcement  on  page  6. 

At  the  meeting  of  A])ril  l'3th,  the 
Association  decided  to  make  loans  to 
Kodak  employees  for  the  purchase  of 
homes.     In    accordance    with    the    plan

outlined  on  page  5,  applications  for 
loans  under  this  heading  have  been 
coming  in  recently. 

The  Association  regrets  that  it  cannot 
extend  this  plan  beyond  the  limits  which 
have  already  been  described.  It  is  at 
present  limited  to  loans  for  the  purpose 


of  buying  homes,  and  the  Association 
cannot,  at  present,  extend  this  to  include 
other  purjjoses,  even  though  good  real 
estate  or  other  security  is  offered.  It 
is,  of  course,  possible,  however,  that 
such  loans  may  be  given  consideration 
at  a  future  time.

DON'T  SELL— BUY  MORE  IF  YOU  CAN 


IF  you  are  hanging  on  to  j^our  Liberty 
Bonds — which  you  should — why  worry 
as  to  the  market  price,  so  long  as  you 
regularlv  receive  the  interest — which  vou 
will. 

If  you  have  some  money  to  invest, 
there  is  no  safer  investment  than  Liberty 
Bonds — they  are  backed  by  the  strongest 
nation  in  the  world — a  nation  which  has 
never  failed  to  live  up  to  every  obligation 
in  full.  And  did  you  ever  stop  to  think 
that  the  lower  the  bonds  are  quoted  on  the 
market,  the  better  buy  they  are  for  you, 
because  the  interest  is  figured  and  paid 
on  the  par,  or  full  value. 

The  Victory  Bonds  are  a  particularly 
good  buy,  as  they  mature  in  1923,  payable 
full  value.  Invest  in  as  many  of  these  as 
you  can,  and  when  they  mature  purchase 
those  of  preceding  issues  which  mature  at 
a  later  date. 

As  to  variations  in  price  of  Liberty 
Bonds,  an  editorial  in  a  recent  issue  of 
the  Democrat  and  Chronicle  gives  the 
reason,  and  proves  the  advisability  of  their 
purchase  so  clearly  that  we  are  reprinting 
it  for  your  benefit: 

"Fluctuations  in  the  quotations  on 
Liberty  Bonds  will  not  disturb  those  who 
are  holding  the  bonds  for  investment  pur- 
poses. They  know  that  the  interest  will 
be  paid  regularly,  and  that  when  the 
bonds  fall  due  they  will  be  redeemed  by 
the  government,  dollar  for  dollar. 

"Temporary  declines  affect  only  specu- 
lators and  those  who  are  foolish  enough 
to    exchange    their    Liberty    Bonds    for 


worthless  stock  in  the  wildcat  schemes 
that  at  the  present  are  absorbing  so  much 
good  American  money.  The  mass  of 
thrifty,  sober-minded  Americans,  who  are 
not  engaged  in  speculation,  and  who  are 
not  disposed  to  chase  rainbows,  do  not 
lie  awake  nights,  fearful  that  the  value 
of  their  bonds  has  been  permanently 
impaired. 

"Officials  of  the  Treasury  Department 
assign  the  fluctuations  in  the  price  of 
Liberty  Bonds  in  the  market  place  to  a 
number  of  causes.  For  one  thing,  it  has 
been  observed  that  every  strike  of  ex- 
tensive proportions  is  followed  by  heavy 
offerings  of  Liberty  Bonds  in  the  market, 
showing  that  persons  temporarily  out  of 
employment  have  been  obliged  to  sacrifice 
their  holdings. 

"Wall  Street  speculators,  caught  in  the 
fluctuations  of  the  stock  market,  have 
been  disposing  of  their  bonds.  These 
sacrifice  sales,  while  regrettable  from  one 
point  of  view,  offer  splendid  opportunities 
for  the  small  investor  to  buy  the  bonds 
at  the  lower  price  and  hold  them  until  they 
rise. 

"  'Remember,'  said  a  Treasury  official, 
'that  for  every  bond  that  is  sold  there  is  a 
buyer.  And  those  who  buy  at  the  present 
figures  will  be  likely  to  hold  their  bonds 
for  the  profit  that  is  bound  to  accrue 
when  the  bonds  advance  in  price.'  It  is 
as  true  now  as  it  was  the  day  the  bond 
issues  were  offered  for  public  subscrip- 
tion, that  they  represent  the  safest  invest- 
ment in  the  world."

AT  YOUR  SERVICE 

LEGAL  DEPARTMENT  READY  AT  ALL  TLMES  TO  GIVE 
YOU  COUNSEL  AND  ADVICE 


LITTLE,  yes,  and  sometimes  big, 
misunderstandings  will  arise,  and 
sometimes  when  you  feel  sure  that  you 
are  on  the  right  track  you  will  find  that 
your  course  is  legally  wrong. 

Some  leases,  contracts,  and  other 
business  papers  are  sometimes  difficult 
for  the  average  person  to  correctly 
understand,  and  have  been  signed  or 
accepted  without  the  person  knowing 
exactly  what  he  was  agreeing  to  do. 

Then  there  is  the  question  of  invest- 
ments: At  the  present  time  many  stocks 
and  other  securities  are  being  offered 
to  you,  some  of  which  are  of  little  or  no 
value.  Extravagant  promises  of  speedy 
rises  in  value  and  enormous  interest 
on  your  money  have  been  made,  which 
can  have  but  little  chance  of  being 
realized. 

Now  every  one  of  us  would  like  to 
find  a  way  to  avoid  all  these 
misunderstandings,  snags  and  pitfalls; 
but  going  to  see  a  la\\yer,  as  regarded 
by  most  of  us  is,  to  say  the  least,  an 
awesome  occasion.  We  have  a  Legal 
Department,  with  offices  in  the  Main 
Office  Building  at  State  Street,  and  you 
are  invited  to  go  there  whenever  you 
need  advice  in  regard  to  legal  matters 
or  matters  of  investments. 

Most  of  you  have  attended  court  at 
one  time  or  another,  and  so  have 
recollections  of  the  stern  looking  Judge 
on  the  bench;  the  court  attendants 
moving  around  on  tiptoe  and  enjoining 
silence  and  order.  Possibly  you  have 
also  watched  the  cross-examining  of  a 
witness  by  the  attorney  for  the  opposite 
side  and  seen  the  unfortunate  person  on 
the  stand  tied  up  in  all  sorts  of  bowknots. 
So  witli  all  this  in  mind  you  view  a  visit 
to  a  lawyer  with  some  misgivings — and 
this  is  where  vou  make  a  big  mistake. 


You  wouldn't  in  the  least  mind  a  visit 
to  an  editor,  a  storekeeper  or  almost  any 
other  business  man;  you  know  you 
would  be  received  courteously,  listened 
to  with  attention  and  then  allowed  to 
go  on  your  way  in  peace — and  this  is 
just  the  sort  of  treatment  you  will  receive 
in  our  Legal  Department. 

Lawyers  are  just  as  human  as  the  rest 
of  us,  more  so  than  a  good  many  of  us, 
because  they  see  more  of  human  nature; 
so  come  in  and  feel  free  to  unburden 
yourself,  should  occasion  arise.  In  order 
not  to  clog  up  the  wheels  in  this  depart- 
ment, certain  regulations  are  necessary 
and  here  they  are: 

The  service  will  be  limited  to  counsel 

and  advice. 

The  drawing  of  legal  papers,  or  the 

examination  of  titles  to  real  estate, 

or  appearances  in  court  cannot  be 

undertaken. 

The     matters    presented     must     be 

limited  to  such  as  actually  affect  the 

employee  personally. 

Legal  questions  which  are  prompted 

by  curiosity  or  by  the  desire  to  aid 

friends  cannot  be  considered. 

The  Legal  Department  will  be  glad 

to  make  such  investigations,  as  its 

other   duties  will  permit,   and  give 

advice   regarding   stocks   and   other 

securities. 

All   consultations    will   be   regarded 

as  strictly  confidential,  and  will,  of 

course,   be   without   expense   to   the 

employee. 

In  order  to  save  time  it  will  be 
advisable  for  employees  desiring  counsel 
and  advice  to  make  appointments  by 
telephone  in  advance.  Do  not  hesitate 
about  making  an  appointment  with  the 
Legal  Department.  Go  there  when  you 
need  advice  in  regard  to  legal  matters  or 
matters  of  investment.

THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


KODAK  PARK'S  FIRELESS  ENGINE 


WE  all  know  that  Kodak  Park  is  a 
pretty  big  place,  but  it  may  come  as 
news  to  you  that  Kodak  Park  has  its  own 
standard  gauge  railroad,  its  own  freight 
cars  for  the  transporting  of  material  from 
one  point  to  another  within  its  boundaries, 
and  its  own  engines  to  do  the  hauling. 

We  have  recently  put  in  operation  a 
new  type  of  locomotive  which  possesses 
some  new  and  decidedly  interesting 
features. 

Friend  ^Yife  may  have  a  tireless  cooker, 
and  you  have  heard  of  wireless  telephones, 
but  have  you  ever  heard  of  a  fireless  loco- 
motive? Not  an  electric  locomotive,  but 
one  run  with  real  steam,  big  enough  to 
haul  a  train  of  freight  cars,  and  operating 
without  a  bit  of  fire.  This  is  the  type  of 
locomotive  used  at  Kodak  Park  and 
illustrated  above.  It  is  known  as  a  fire- 
less  steam  storage  locomotive. 

Here  is  how  it  works:  The  engine 
carries  a  tank  which  is  filled  about  four- 
fifths  full  of  water,  after  which  steam  is 
admitted  to  the  tank  from  the  boilers  at 
the  power  house  by  means  of  a  pipe,  until 
^he  pressure  has  reached  125  pounds.    At 


this  pressure  the  boiling  point  of  water 
is  353°  Fahrenheit  instead  of  2 1-2°,  as  at 
normal  pressure.  As  the  steam  is  used 
the  pressure  is  lowered,  and  the  boiling 
point  of  the  water  is  also  lowered,  so  that 
more  steam  is  formed.  The  pressure  in 
the  cylinders  is  60  pounds,  but  the  loco- 
motive can  be  operated  with  the  pressure 
as  low  as  20  pounds,  until  with  the  pres- 
sure 15  pounds,  the  locomotive  is  only 
able  to  propel  itself  back  to  the  power 
house  to  be  recharged.  At  60  pounds 
pressure,  the  tractive  effort,  or  pulling 
power  is  14,520  pounds. 

This  engine  in  our  own  yards  handles 
from  30  to  40  carloads  of  material  a  day. 

We  recently  received  a  train  of  80 
freight  cars,  two-thirds  of  a  mile  long, 
which  this  engine  was  able  to  haul  in  one 
train. 

The  use  of  this  type  of  locomotive  does 
away  with  any  danger  from  fire  caused  by 
sparks.  All  soot  and  smoke  are  also  done 
away  with,  and  the  engine  can  be  operated 
by  one  man,  there  naturally  being  no  need 
of  a  fireman. 

The  engineer,  Mr.  George  Spencer,  seen 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


15 


looking  out  the  cab  window,  appears 
eminently  contented  with  his  job,  but 
evidently  one  thing  seemed  not  quite  in 
keeping  with  his  neAv  horse.  Where  there 
isn't  any  fire  there  isn't  any  smoke,  and 
so  the  manufacturers  saw  no  necessity  for 
a  smokestack  on  a  smokeless  engine.  The 
engineer  missed  the  familiar  outline  and 
so   he   attached   a   length   of   stovepipe, 


which,  as  you  see,  adds  tone  and  dignity. 
A  larger  locomotive  of  the  same  type 
is  now  being  specially  built  for  us  at  the 
Baldwin  Locomotive  Works.  Its  tank 
will  hold  a  pressure  of  200  pounds,  and 
its  weight  will  be  128,000  pounds,  with  a 
pressure  of  60  pounds  in  the  cylinder. 
It  will  have  a  pulling  power  of  25,660 
pounds. 


STOP!     READ!     REMEMBER! 


IN  the  early  daj^s  of  industry,  when  the 
boss  had  any  news  for  his  men,  he  laid 
down  his  tools,  and  said:  "Wait  a  minute, 
boys."  And,  like  as  not,  the  boys 
answered:  "Shoot,  Bill!"  Those  days  are 
gone.  It  is  no  longer  possible  to  transmit 
information  and  messages  by  word  of 
mouth  in  industrial  organizations  like  ours 
numbering  thousands  of  people.  Use  of 
various  substitutes  for  the  verbal  message 
is  now  necessary  to  reach  the  personnel  of 
manufacturing  plants.  One  of  the  most 
popular  substitutes  is  the  bulletin  board. 

We  have  installed  in  each  Rochester 
plant  a  series  of  illuminated  bulletin 
boards,  so  located  as  to  be  easily  accessible 
to  everyone.  These  bulletins  are  the 
mouthpiece  of  the  Company — the  con- 
stant channel  for  spreading  news.  They 
carry  announcements  concerning  the  wage 
dividend  and  the  sale  of  common  stock, 
advance  notices  of  social  and  athletic 
events,  and  descriptions  of  articles  lost 
and  found.  The  bulletin  boards  are  the 
sole  means  of  announcing  the  sales  of 
the  Kodak  Employees  Co-operative  Pur- 
chase Committee.  Subsequent  bulletins 
give  the  dates  on  which  articles  ordered 
through  the  Committee  are  ready  for 
delivery.  The  Company  likewise  main- 
tains an  experienced  staff  for  the  prepara- 


tion of  bulletins  giving  authentic  infor- 
mation and  advice  on  health,  safety,  the 
suggestion  system,  and  allied  subjects. 
In  short,  these  bulletin  boards  adapt 
themselves  readily  to  a  variety  of  uses, 
their  value  being  limited  only  by  the  num- 
ber of  people  who  see  the  bulletins  which 
are  posted. 

Before  the  installation  of  this  series  of 
illuminated  bulletin  boards,  notices  and 
announcements  were  prepared  in  a  variety 
of  pen-written,  typed,  and  printed  forms, 
and  posted  without  regularity,  remaining 
on  the  boards  for  an  indefinite  period. 
Such  notices,  of  course,  quickly  became 
soiled,  tattered,  and  unsightly,  and  in  a 
short  time,  losing  their  original  news 
value,  served  only  to  occupy  needed  space. 
Now,  only  two  bulletins  are  posted  at  a 
time,  and  so  displayed  as  to  make  them 
easy  to  see  and  read. 

The  present  schedule  provides  for 
new  bulletins  of  general  interest  each 
week,  in  addition  to  the  individual  plant 
notices  of  local  activities.  It  will  pay, 
then,  to  give  the  bulletin  board  the  "once- 
over" every  day.  Then  you  won't  have 
to  depend  on  Bill  Jones  or  Mary  Smith 
to  tell  you  about  that  choice  bargain  in 
the  grocery  line,  the  dance  Friday  night, 
or  the  next  ball  game. 


The  proper  place  for  a  knocker  is  outside  the  door.

THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


OUR  ADVERTISING 


YOU  pick  up  your  morning  or  evening 
paper  and  skim  more  or  less  hurriedly 
through  it.  An  advertisement  here  and 
there  attracts  your  attention  and  you  read 
it  and  most  usually  profit  by  the  buying 
information  it  affords  you.  Now  did  you 
ever  observe  the  way  most  people  start 
to  read  a  magazine?  They  glance  at  the 
front  and  back;  at  a  page  here  and  there 
and  then  go  to  the  last  page  and  turn 
leisurely  back  through  the  pages.  Usually 
when  you  pick  up  a  magazine  you  have 
more  leisure  time  than  is  at  your  disposal 
for  the  newspapers,  except  perhaps  the 
Sunday  ones,  so  you  give  a  bit  more 
attention  to  the  advertisements.  Here 
and  there  some  particular  advertisements 
make  a  distinct  impression  upon  you 
because  they  relate  to  something  you 
would  like  to  possess,  or  because  they 
are  unusual  in  beauty. 

If  you  have  read  a  copy  of,  say,  the 
Saturday  Evening  Post,  The  Ladies'  Home 
Journal,  or  whatever  your  favorite  maga- 
zines may  be,  and  were  asked  to  name  the 
products  and  concerns  whose  wares  were 
mentioned  in  the  advertisements,  you 
would  be  able  to  recall  but  a  limited 
number.  Now  if  this  were  all  the  atten- 
tion the  average  advertisements  were 
able  to  attract,  this  form  of  advertising 
would  not  pay.  But  due  to  a  peculiarity 
of  the  human  brain,  it  subconsciously  or 
automatically  stores  up  impressions  it  has 
received  for  future  use,  and  while  you 
cannot  recall  any  particular  advertise- 
ment of  a  product,  your  brain  will,  if  you 
have  seen  such  advertisements  repeated 
again  and  again,  have  this  information 
for  you.  Just  to  prove  it:  When  you 
think  of  soap,  what  pops  into  your  mind? 
"Ivory;"  if  a  cleanser — "Gold  Dust 
Twins,"  "Old  Dutch"  or  "Bon  Ami;" 
a  talcum  powder — "Mennen's;"a  watch — 
"Waltham,"  "Elgin"  or  "Ingersoll;"  a 
camera — "Kodak,"  and  so  on.  Why? 
Because  these  goods  have  been  advertised, 
and  advertised  continuously  and  well  and 


their  existence  and  worth  have  forced  a 
place  for  themselves  in  your  mind. 

You  may  say  that  the  names  of  these 
particular  things  come  to  mind  because 
they  are  in  such  general  use.  That  is  in  a 
measure  true,  but  they  would  7iot  be  so 
generally  used  if  their  worth  had  not  been 
made  known  through  advertising.  There 
is  no  better  proof  of  this  than  the  success 
of  our  own  Company.  From  the  very 
start,  the  idea  behind  our  advertising  has 
been  to  sell  the  idea  of  photography ,  and 
this  advertising  has  been  continuous. 

Millions  and  millions  of  people  the 
world  over  have  been  reached  and  in- 
fluenced to  buy  through  this  advertising. 
Whenever  possible  we  make  use  of  a 
picture — a  photograph — to  tell  the  story, 
and  for  this  reason  the  printed  part  of  our 
message  has  been  and  usually  is  brief.  A 
good  picture  with  such  messages  as  "Take 
a  Kodak  with  you,"  "Kodak  as  you  go," 
"All  Outdoors  invites  your  Kodak"  and 
"Kodak  the  Children,"  put  our  selling 
messages  over. 

In  the  younger  days  of  the  Company, 
before  amateur  photography  had  been 
simplified,  our  world  famous  slogan,  "You 
Press  the  Button,  We  Do  the  Rest,"  was 
employed. 

To  forestall  the  imitator  and  the  sul)- 
stitutor,  another  famous  slogan,  "If  It 
Isn't  an  Eastman,  It  Isn't  a  Kodak,"  is 
used  on  numerous  occasions. 

For  trade-mark  protection  we,  on  oc- 
casions, run  such  an  advertisement  as 
the  one  shown  on  the  back  cover  entitled 
"What  'Kodak'  Means."  In  the  photo- 
graphic journals  we  advertise  our  chemi- 
cal products  and  the  many  other  sundry 
products,  as  you  doubtless  know.  W'e 
feel  pretty  sure  that  you  are  and  will  be 
interested  in  our  magazine  advertising, 
and  so  we  purpose  to  show  you  from 
month  to  month  what  we  are  doing. 

Current  magazine  advertising  for  the 
month  is  shown  (reduced  somewhat  in 
size)  on  page  1  and  cover  pages. 


KODAK    PARK 


ROBERT  A.  WEBER 

Editor 


RESOLVED:     TO  WIN  THE  PEXXAXT 

The  determination  which  marks  the 
work  of  the  manager  and  the  players, 
who  are  out  for  the  Kodak  Park  team, 
is  most  encouraging.  Among  the  men 
who  have  reported  for  practice  are 
"Rube"  Weathers,  Terhaar,  Heaney, 
and  Manager  Bircher  of  last  year's  team; 
Jones,  former  N.  E.  Electric  star,  and 
Metcalf ,  the  crack  U.  of  R.  third  baseman. 
There  are  a  number  of  first-class  men 
in  the  plant  who  have  not  as  yet  reported. 
To  these  we  extend  an  invitation  to  come 
out  and  help  Kodak  Park  win  the  pen- 
nant in  the  Kodak  Baseball  League. 

The  day  when  a  man  participated  in 
the  different  sports  for  the  pure  love  of  it 
seems  to  have  passed.  A  spirit  of 
commercialism  has  invaded  athletics 
which  has  not  helped  to  improve  them. 
An  effort  is  being  made  in  Rochester, 
and  in  the  Kodak  Company,  to  get  back 
to  the  old  standard  if  possible.  A  League 
has  been  organized  and  equipment  pur- 
chased which  will  be  furnished  to  the  differ- 
ent teams.  The  object  of  the  League  is  to 
provide  interesting  sport  for  the  Kodak 
employees,  and  we  believe  that  there  is 
more  interest  in  seeing  our  own  people 
play  our  games  than  to  have  a  bunch  of 
paid  professionals  doing  it.  If  you  are 
a  ball  player  you  can  help  in  this  by 
joining  the  team.  If  you  are  not  a 
player  you  can  help  })y  attending  the 
games  and  giving  your  moral  support  to 
the  players. 

The  diamond  at  Kodak  Park  is  being 
scraped  and  resurfaced,  and  the  fence 
on    the   west    side    removed,    making   a 


larger  and  better  field.  We  are  going 
to  stage  some  good  ball  games  on  this 
field  this  summer,  and  you  are  asked  to 
do  your  part  to  show  that  our  efforts  are 
being  appreciated.  Whether  you  are 
player  or  fan,  get  into  the  game  for 
Kodak. 


AMERICAN  LEGION  NOTES 

The  "Kodak"  and  "Frank  L.  'Ace' 
Guillod"  Posts  of  the  American  Legion, 
met  together  at  the  State  Armory  a 
short  time  ago  and  voted  unanimously 
to  merge  and  have  one  large  Post, 
consisting  of  Kodak  workers  from  all 
branches  in  the  city.  The  Post  is  to  be 
called,  "Frank  L.  'Ace'  Guillod  Post." 

Mr.  P.  H.  Case,  Kodak  Park,  was 
elected  President;  ^Nlr.  W.  J.  Lambert, 
Camera  Works,  Vice-President;  ]Mr.  C. 
F.  Abert,  Kodak  Park,  Secretary;  and 
Mr.  Thomas  Ainsley,  Camera  Works, 
Treasurer. 

The  Monroe  County  organization 
staged  a  drive  for  members,  the  last 
week  of  Ai)ril,  which  was  successful, 
inasmuch  as  it  added  over  1,000  names 
to  the  rolls;  but  still  there  are  a  good 
many  fellows  who  do  not  belong  to  the 
Legion.  The  Legion  needs  members, 
and  the  ex-service  man  needs  the  Legion. 
Why  not  sign  up.' 

The  Ciuillod  Post  has  a  mighty  strong 
Baseball  team  in  the  Kodak  Park  Noon 
Hour  League,  and  j)romises  to  bring  home 
the  bacon.  We  also  have  a  team  in  the 
Twilight  League.

WHERE  ARE  THE  TRACK  MEN? 

During  the  past  two  years  interest  in 
track  has  been  mighty  low.  Of  course, 
everyone  knows  that  the  war  had  a  lot 
to  do  with  this,  as  most  of  the  good  track 
men  were  in  service,  but  now  that's  over 
and  everyone  is  back;  so  why  not  get 
started  again? 

There  are  a  few  men  in  the  plant  who 
are  anxious  to  see  Kodak  Park  again 
represented  in  this  activity,  and  an  effort 
is  to  be  made  to  reorganize  our  team. 
We  cannot  extend  a  personal  invitation 
to  every  track  man  in  the  plant,  but  we 
do  ask  that  when  you  have  read  this 
article  you  send  your  name  to  the  K.  P. 
A.  A.  Office,  so  that  we  can  get  under 
way  as  soon  as  possible.

NOON  HOUR  BASEBALL  LEAGUE  OPENS 

The  opening  day  exercises  of  the 
Noon  Hour  Baseball  League  were  held 
Monday  noon,  May  3rd.  The  fans 
formed  in  parade,  led  by  the  Kodak  Park 
Band,  at  Building  No.  28,  and  with 
much  music  and  noise  marched  through 
the  plant,  stopping  at  the  Dining  Halls 
in  Building  No.  25  and  Building  No.  50 
and  then  to  the  Athletic  Field.  Here 
the  regular  opening  day  exercises  were 
gone  through  with.  Dr.  Reid,  President 
of  the  K.  P.  A.  A.,  in  the  pitcher's  box; 
Lee  MacFarland,  President  of  the  League, 
at  bat;  and  "Jerry"  Welles,  Manager  of 
Sports,  on  the  receiving  end.  Dr.  Reid 
served  up  one  of  his  celebrated  out-drops, 
which  "Mac"  leaned  on  for  what  should 
have  been  good  for  about  three  bases, 
leaving  us  in  the  dark  as  to  how  good  a 
catcher  "Jerry"  really  is.  The  game  which 
followed  between  the  American  Legion 
team  and  Cannan's  Crabs  resulted  in  a 
tie  score,  each  team  bringing  in  three 
runs. 

The  officers  of  the  League  for  this 
season  are:  A.  L.  MacFarland,  President; 
A.  Culligan,  Vice-President;  and  E. 
Goodridge,  Secretary;  and  the  Managers 
of  the  different  teams  are:  Cannan's 
Crabs,  V.  Ayette;  Outlaws,  J.  Ward; 
American  Legion,  D.  McMaster;  Shep- 
herd's Pets,  J.  H.  Shepherd;  O'Brien's 
Colts,  H.  Shannon;  Hudson's  Cubs,  H. 
Hudson.  Games  start  promptly  at  12:20 
and  are  called  at  12:50,  giving  everyone 
ample  time  in  which  to  get  to  their 
department.  A  bell  has  been  installed 
in  connection  with  the  telephone  service, 
which,  through  the  courtesy  of  Miss 
Connaughton  and  ]\Irs.  LaBar,  is  sounded 
at  the  time  for  the  game  to  stop,  which 
is  a  most  satisfactory  arrangement. 


SWIMMIN(i  CLUB  TO  BE  FORMED 

From  all  reports  we  are  going  to  have  a 
real  summer  with  plenty  of  good  hot 
weather.  This  means  one  thing  in 
particular — lots  of  swimming  and  bathing. 
It  is  surprising  the  large  number  of  people 


who  are  unable  to  swim,  and  because  of 
this  are  unable  to  enjoy  one  of  the  greatest 
natural  sources  of  recreation. 

An  effort  is  to  be  made  to  form  an 
Aquatic  Club  at  Kodak  Park,  to  which 
all  members  of  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  will  be 
eligible  for  membership.  There  are  a 
number  of  expert  swimmers  among  the 
emj)loyees  who  are  willing  to  devote  some 
time  to  this  cause,  and  one  of  the  first 
steps  will  be  to  form  a  beginners'  class. 
Persons  interested  may  send  their  names 
to  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  Office. 


GIRLS  PLAN  ACTHT  SUMMER 

Girls,  get  ready  for  a  busy  summer. 
Miss  Ellis,  who  is  in  charge  of  the  girls' 
activities  of  the  K.  P.  A.  A.  is  planning 
many  things  for  the  next  few  months. 
A  portion  of  the  Athletic  Field  is  being 
set  aside  for  the  exclusive  use  of  the  girl 
members.  You  will  have  your  own 
Tennis  courts.  Hand  and  Volley  Ball 
courts,  and  a  Baseball  diamond,  directly 
adjacent  to  the  Dressing  Room.  Miss 
Marie  Forbes,  of  Building  No.  26,  has 
been  appointed  manager  of  the  Tennis 
Team  and  will  organize  to  meet  the  other 
girl  teams  of  Rochester.  Later  in  the 
season  a  tournament  will  be  run,  the 
handicaps  being  based  on  the  results  of 
the  first  week's  playing. 

A  Noon  Hour  Indoor  Baseball  League 
is  being  formed  and  games  will  be  played 
each  noon  on  the  Athletic  Field.  Four 
managers  have  been  selected  to  handle 
the  noon  hour  teams,  as  follows:  Mildred 
Minard,  Box  Department;  Carrie  Smith, 
Film  Department;  Hazel  Decker,  Build- 
ing No.  40;  and  ^Nfarion  Burns.  Building 
No.  26. 

An  outdoor  team  will  be  selected  to 
represent  Kodak  Park,  and  Miss  Mildred 
^linard  has  been  appointed  manager  of 
this  aggregation.  William  Manhold.  of 
the  Main  Office,  will  coach,  and  a  schedule 
is  being  prepared  to  include  the  other 
Industrial  Girl  teams  of  Rochester.  This 
is  the  girls'  big  year,  so  get  into  it.

SCOUTS  MAKE  VA(  ATIOX   PLANS 

With  the  appearance  of  spring, 
enthusiasm  of  the  members  of  the  Kodak 
Boy  Scout  Troop  increases  with  leaps 
and  bounds.  Great  things  are  ])eing 
planned  for  the  coming  summer,  and 
every  member  is  intensely  interested  in 
the  developments  which  are  under  way. 
Arrangements  have  been  made  to  spend 
the  two  weeks  following  August  9th  at 
the  Scout  Camp  at  Canandaigua  Lake. 
and  it  is  expected  that  practically  every 
one  will  be  able  to  attend. 

The  Troop  is  building  a  large  aerial 
and  receiving  set.  and  is  enthusiastically 
taking  up  the  study  of  wireless.  ^Nlr. 
Bloom,  instructor,  reports  that  great 
progress  is  being  made  in  this  study, 
which  is  highly  educational  as  well  as 
interesting. 

There  are  still  a  few  vacancies  in  the 
Troop    for    sons    of    Kodak    employees. 


Applications    should    be    addressed 
Mr.  H.  H.  Tozier.  Kodak  Park.

PICNIC  TIME  COMING 

Now  that  you  have  your  garden  in 
pretty  fair  shape,  and  your  car  overhauled 
and  in  good  running  order,  let  us  ask  you  a 
(juestion.  How  about  a  picnic.^  A  real 
old-fashioned  basket  picnic  at  the  Beach, 
where  you  can  luring  the  wife  and  the 
kids,  with  a  half  bushel  of  lunch,  run 
races,  go  in  bathing,  meet  your  old  friends, 
and  do  a  thousand  and  one  other 
enjoyable  things.     How  about  it? 

The  K.  P.  A.  A.  is  considering  running 
such  a  picnic.  If  you  have  any  sugges- 
tions to  make  along  this  line,  send  them 
in  to  "Jerry"  Welles  at  once,  because  it 
takes  quite  a  while  to  arrange  everything 
for  a  real  picnic. 


DEPARTMENT  NO.  50  ON  THE  MAP 

There  is  a  great  long  brick  building.  No.  50.  lying 
at  the  extreme  northeast  end  of  the  plant,  that  since 
the  U.  S.  Aerial  School  of  Photography  vacated 
has  almost  been  forgotten,  so  busy  have  they  been 
making  photographic  paper  and  erecting  new 
mammoth  paper  machines.  Department  50  claims 
Dr.  Reid  the  new  president  of  the  K.  P.  A.  A.,  John 
M.  Shepherd  as  second  vice-president,  and  Herbert 
Benzoni,  Secretary,  who  has  been  recently  trans- 
ferred to  this  department  from  the  Industrial 
Laboratory. 

After  five  years  of  great  anticipation,  "Father 
John"  Shepherd  of  Department  No.  50  fame,  and 
long  distance  Razzer  of  the  Indoor  Baseball  League, 
has  realized  his  hopes  and  Department  No.  50 
means  to  be  represented  on  the  diamond  and  on 
the  court  this  year.  While  these  projects  are 
entirely  new  and  more  or  less  difficult,  for  the  vast 
majority  of  the  men  are  employed  on  shift  work,  yet 
Manager  Shepherd  promises  that  they  will  make  a 
creditable  showing,  and  boasts  of  several  well- 
known  players,  foremost  among  them  being  "Rip" 
Benzoni,  and  "Red"  Quigley,  an  all  around  athlete 
we  have  recently  actjuired  from  the  North  East 
Electric  Company  and  who  we  know  will  make  his 
presence  known  on  the  Kotlak  Park  Basketball 
Team  this  fall.  Other  members  of  the  team  are: 
Weigand.  Meyn,  Baumer,  Kielson.  Kliment, 
Coogan,  Toung,  Prescott.  Ogden,  Page  and  Dailey. 


On  March  5th  the  stork  visited  the  home  of 
Henry  Schuth  of  the  Pyro  Department  and  pre- 
sented him  with  a  husk\'  young  son.  Make  him  a 
ball  player.  Hank. 


Did  you  ever  have  the  luck  to  attend  a  Velox 
picnic?  The  committee  are  already  busy  on  the 
arrangements  for  their  19'20  production.  It  will  be 
held  at  Rifle  Range  on  Saturday,  June  '^(ith.  Martin 
LaForce,  Everett  Saunders  and  John  Thomas  are 
on  the  Arrangement  Conunittee:  Nelson  Milne, 
Herbert  Maxwell  and  Frank  Parshall  are  looking 
after  the  sports;  and  William  Zimmerli  and  Charles 
Bonke  have  undertaken  the  job  of  getting  the  people 
there  and  home  again. 


The  mighty  Casey  at  the  bat  had  nothing  on  our 
own  Ed.  Casey,  Captain  of  Building  Ni>.  15  Noon 
Hour  Pinochle  Club.  Ed  does  not  rub  his  hands 
in  the  dirt  and  wipe  them  on  his  .shirt.  No,  sir. 
He  puts  them  in  the  glue  tank,  and  says  to  his 
partner,  George  Brackley,  "The  trumps  will  stick 
to  us  today."  George  replies,  "Hi  should  bloody 
well  say  so.  Eddy,  old  top:  what  are  you  trying  to 
give  us,  a  blawsted  himitation  of  a  f\y  paper  factory 
at  work?"  and  the  jiame  is  on.

Archie  White  of  the  Yard  Office  has  purchased  a 
new  home  on  Latta  Road,  comprising  two  acres  of

on  Champlain  Street.

cried,  "A  horse,  a  horse,  my  kingdom  for  a  horse." 
We  still  have  sports  in  our  own  day.  Last  week 
we  heard  one  of  our  well-known  managers  in  the 
Noon  Hour  League  cry,  "A  Pitcher,  a  Pitcher,  My 
Corn  Cob  Pipe  for  a  Pitcher." 


Some  people  claim  that  a  ChevToIet  is  a  better 
car  than  a  Ford,  but  Nelson  Milne  disputes  this. 
He  says  a  Ford  has  the  reputation  of  being  able  to 
run  anywhere,  but  Bill  Zimmerli's  Baby  Grand 
Chevrolet  laid  down  on  him  when  he  tried  to  coax 
it  through  a  Cadillac  last  week.

40  were  entertained  at  the  home  of  F.  A.  Gillice, 
Thursday  evening.  May  Gth.  Rehearsal  was  held

THE  CAMERA  WORKS  RECREATION  CLUB 


SINCE  the  big  smoker,  the  Committee 
has  attempted  to  arouse  interest  in 
various  sports. 

Selling  tickets  to  a  dance — though  it 
is  of,  for,  and  by  the  employees — is  no 
cinch.  The  party  went  across,  however, 
and  you  may  take  it  from  either  of  the 
"W's" — Waldron  or  Wilcox — that  the 
Masonic  Temple  on  the  night  of  April 
8th  was  the  scene  of  a  very  festive  cele- 
bration. 

Yoder  and  his  Yeomen  say  they  wish 
we  had  had  less  fun  and  made  more 
money.  Same  here,  Lee!  Then  we 
could. have  bought  shoes  for  the  bunch 
instead  of  the  six,  whose  soles  were 
shoeless.  The  Club  is  necessarily 
conservative,  but  it  will  guarantee  to 
replace  all  shoes  worn  out  crossing  home 
plate ! 

This  talk  of  money  and  ball  teams 
brings  to  mind  the  Camera  Works  Soccer 
Team.  Gaze  at  those  uniforms !  Despite 
the  garb,  the  boys  won  from  the  Celtics, 
and,  if  they  don't  carry  off  the  honors 
in  the  following  series,  A.  G.  Spalding  & 
Brothers  will  be  keenly  disappointed — ; 
to  say  nothing  of  the  feelings  of  the 
Treasurer.  Confidentially,  though,  he 
nearly  wept  when  he  signed  the  check  for 
that  soccer  equipment. 

Do  you  recall  that  night  at  the  Armory 
— A])ril  14th?  The  girls  played  basket- 
ball with  the  Premo  femmes.  Now 
basketball,  properly  performed,  is  a 
mild-mannered  sport,  but  in  the  hands 
of  an  enthusiastic,  well-meaning  and 
zealous  group  of  females,  it  becomes  more 


of  a  rough  pastime.  At  least,  it  is 
considered  the  part  of  discretion  to 
protect  as  far  as  possible  the  various  parts 
of  one's  anatomy.  The  girls  simply 
had  to  have  knee-pads.  Bless  their 
little  hearts!  Nobody  loves  a  girl  with 
a  skinless  knee.  Well,  you  should  have 
seen  the  Treasurer  sign  that  check!  And, 
there  wasn't  a  skinned  knee  in  the  bunch !

THE  REAL  TROPHY 


24 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


The  majority  of  us  hope  the  additional 
harness  was  not  the  cause  of  the  defeat. 
It  happened,  however,  that  only  three 
points  kept  our  girls  from  winning.  But, 
they're  some  scouts!  They  have  won 
the  admiration  of  all  our  sport-lovers. 
The  Camera  Works  Indoor  Baseball 
League  closed  with  the  Toolmakers'  team 
in  first  place.  (The  cup  is  on  the  way, 
men !)     A  post-season  game  was  arranged 


THE  OTHER  TROPHY 


The  boys  of  the  Tool  Room  got  impatient  over  the 
delayed  delivery  of  the  Cup  they  had  won  for  securing 
the  Championship  of  the  Indoor  Baseball  League. 

Above  is  a  picture  of  the  "Trophy"  they  presented 
to  Harold  Marson  to  remind  him  of  the  fact  that  the  Cup 
ivas  late  in  arriving. 


with  an  All-Star  team  chosen  from  among 
the  other  teams  of  the  League,  and  was 
played  at  the  Armory.  This  and  the 
girls'  game  furnished  the  double  attrac- 
tion. Two  runs  are  not  many,  but  they 
were  enough  to  win  the  game  for  the 
All-Stars. 

Recently  the  Chairman,  with  other 
members  of  the  Committee,  and  Mr. 
Brehm,  drew  up  a  detailed  budget 
covering  expenditures  for  recreation  in 
general  and  athletics  in  particular.  The 
total  assumed  such  generous  proportions 
that  a  revision  was  advised.  And  so, 
with  the  aid  of  expert  judgment  and  blue 
pencil,  the  total  was  reduced  to  a  j^oint 
more   consistent   with   our   organization. 


Lacking  in  adequate  equipment,  such  as 
club  rooms  and  athletic  field,  we  have 
not  the  facilities  required  to  attract 
a  dues-paying  membership,  which  is 
necessary  if  we  are  to  become  self-sup- 
porting. Nevertheless,  the  budget  was 
framed  and  properly  reduced;  even  so, 
it's  too  ambitious  for  us  to  finance;  but 
it  goes,  gentlemen,  and  you  may  have 
only  three  guesses. 


EDUCATING  THE  WORKMAN 

One  of  the  most  important  considera- 
tions of  Industrial  Management  is  the  in- 
duction of  a  new  emj^loyee  into  the  plant. 

The  new  employee  should  be  impressed 
in  a  friendly  way  with  the  sincerity  of  the 
company,  the  seriousness  of  the  Safety 
work,  and  his  part  in  it.  The  new  em- 
ployee is  more  liable  to  injury  because  he 
is  ignorant  of  the  work  and  feels  strange 
and  hesitates  to  ask  for  help. 

In  the  first  four  months  of  1919,  the 
Camera  Works  had  31  accidents,  and  in 
the  first  four  months  of  19'20,  we  had  21 
accidents,  a  decrease  of  10.  We  are  glad 
to  see  the  decrease  instead  of  increase,  but 
we  should  not  be  at  all  satisfied  with  this. 
Let  us  as  employees  of  the  Camera  Works, 
show  the  outside  world  that  we  have  the 
safest  and  best  factory  to  work  in  because 
we  make  it  so  by  being  careful  men  and 
women.  Never  have  the  opportunities 
been  so  great  to  prove  that  we  are  above 
the  average  in  everything  that  we  have 
undertaken.  Let  us  put  our  shoulders  to 
the  wheel  and  show  what  we  are  going  to 
do  in  our  own  particular  department  to 
reduce  accidents  to  a  minimum. 

It  is  our  duty  as  good  American  citizens 
to  reduce  human  misery  by  not  taking 
chances  of  any  kind.  I  believe  the  great- 
est blessing  in  this  world  is  when  we  can 
do  something  for  our  fellowman  and  start 
him  on  the  road  to  happiness. 

If  this  is  given  a  fair  trial,  I  believe  it 
will  work  out  far  beyond  our  expectations. 
Yours  for  safetv, 

R.  H.  J.

GET-TOGETHER  DINNER 


THE  second  of  what  we  hope  is  only  a 
taste  of  many  "Get  Acquamted" 
dinners,  was  given  by  the  Management  to 
Superintendents,  Foremen,  Representa- 
tives and  special  guests  on  Wednesday 
evening.  May  1^2th,  in  the  now  obsolete 
dining  room,  fourth  floor.  About  '-2'-20sat 
down  to  a  very  delectable  meal,  which, 
with  the  addition  of  an  orchestra,  cigars 
and  candy,  was  thoroughly  enjoyed. 

At  the  speakers'  table  were  the  familiar 
oflBcers  of  the  Camera  Works,  in  addition 
to  which  were  Mr.  Roland  Woodward — 
Managerof  Defender  Works;  Mr.  Lovejoy, 
Manager  of  Manufacturing  Departments 
Eastman  Kodak  Co.;  Mr.  Haight,  Man- 
ager of  Industrial  Relations,  Eastman 
Kodak  Co.;  and  Mr.  Stuber,  Sr.,  Manager 
of  Sensitized  Departments  at  Kodak  Park. 
Our  own  J.  A.  R.  acted  as  Chairman, 
enlivening  the  proceedings  with  his  usual 
store  of  jokes  and  anecdotes,  introducing 
the  speakers  in  his  own  inimitable  way. 
He  drew  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  15 
■employees,  all  of  whom  had  graduated 


from  the  course  in  "Safety  Methods,"  had 
been  invited  to  the  dinner  as  a  token  of 
recognition  of  their  successful  efforts,  and 
he  (^Ir.  Robertson)  was  glad  to  appoint 
them  as  a  permanent  Safety  Committee 
for  the  ensuing  year. 

The  Chairman  called  upon  Herbert 
Rogers  to  say  a  few  words  regarding  the 
Kodak  Employees  Association,  who  ex- 
plained why  it  was  impossible  to  grant 
loans  on  unsecured  property,  stating  that 
the  money  must  necessarily  be  used  to 
ensure  "the  greatest  amount  of  good  to 
the  greatest  number  of  people."  ISIr. 
Rogers  invited  suggestions  at  any  time, 
and  he  will  be  happy  to  explain  any  point 
connected  with  the  Association  which  was 
not  clear  to  employees. 

Mr.  Robertson  announced  that  in  refer- 
ence to  Athletic  and  Social  Activities  the 
Company  would  match  dollar  for  dollar 
for  any  sum  the  employees  would  raise 
up  to  $1.00  per  capita,  thus  assuring  our 
Division  of  a  good  share  of  amusement  for 
this  vear. 


BASEBALL  PROGRAM  OPENS  JUNE  FIFTH 

CAMERA  WORKS  TEAM  IS  SCHEDULED  TO  MEET  FOLMER-CENTIRY  IX  FIRST  GAME 


FANS,  take  your  calendar  and  put  a 
big  ring  around  June  5!  Then  go 
home  and  tell  friend  wife  to  keep  supper 
that  evening  for  you  may  be  late  getting 
home.  The  first  Saturday  in  June  is 
Baseball  opening,  and  the  Camera  Works 
Nine  will  pry  the  lid  off  the  old  national 
game  at  Kodak  Athletic  Field  with 
Folmer-Century  supplying  the  opposition. 
It's  the  first  League  game  of  the  season, 
and  "Ye  Bugs"  want  to  be  on  the  job  to 
see  a  real  team  in  action.  It  will  be  a  real 
team  that  represents  the  Camera  Works  on 
the  Diamond  this  season,  and.  take  this 
tip!  It  isn't  any  pre-season  dope  or  the 
usual  bunk  when  we  pass  the  word  that 
the  fastest  team  this  Company  has  ever 
had  will  do  battle  in  the  Kodak  League 
this  year.  The  boys  have  been  getting 
the   kinks   out   by   playing  a    number  of 


practice  games,  taking  the  U.  of  R., 
Bastian  Bros.,  Gleason's,  besides  having 
the  Athletics  on  the  slate.  In  addition  to 
this,  several  road  trips  have  been  arranged 
prior  to  the  opening  of  the  season. 

New  uniforms — blue-gray  with  red 
stockings  and  trimmings  will  be  worn  in 
all  probability  at  the  opening  game.  The 
roster  of  players  will  not  be  announced 
until  just  liefore  the  oj)ening  game,  owing 
to  tlie  number  seeking  positions  on  the 
team.  We  are  not  going  to  consult  a  ouija 
board  or  make  any  predictions  as  to  who 
is  going  to  win  the  pennant  this  year,  but 
you  can  be  confident  of  seeing  a  real  liall 
game  when  we  take  the  field. 

Remember  the  opening  game  on  June 
.5tli.  Plans  for  our  part  in  the  opening  are 
l)cing  made.  When  the  bell  rings,  will 
vou   sav,  "Here  I  am.  let's  ao?  '

HOW  ABOUT  THAT  GARDEN? 

A  man  or  a  woman  who  doesn't  plant  a 
garden  this  year  is  going  to  feel  pretty 
blue  when  the  winter  comes  along,  and 
with  it  the  high  cost  of  produce.  Vege- 
tables have,  rightly,  become  as  necessary 
to  the  American  table  as  bread  or  meat. 
Some  of  the  good  old-fashioned  mothers 
and  wives  make  bread;  we  can't  raise 
meat;  but  there  is  nothing  to  prevent  us 
all  raising  our  own  vegetables.  You  know, 
it's  just  like  every  other  new  thing  we 
tackle;  it's  the  getting  started  that  phases 
us.  Most  men,  however,  will  try  any- 
thing once — even  if  it  is  only  home-made 
hootch,  and  what  tastes  better  than  a 
mess  of  fresh  spinach  from  your  own 
garden,  or  ears  of  Golden  Bantam  corn 
with  the  milk  fresh  in  the  kernel. 

Looking  ahead — what  do  you  figure  we 
are  going  to  pay  for  such  staple  produce  as 
potatoes?  Last  fall  they  harvested  at 
$1.25  a  bushel.  Today  you  are  paying 
$4.75,  when  you  can  get  them!     Does  it 


pay  to  have  a  garden?  Ask  the  six  hun- 
dred members  of  the  Gardening  Associa- 
tion? Ask  the  man  who  held  potatoes 
from  last  fall  to  now.     Ask  YOURSELF. 


GARDEN  GLEANINGS 

Frank  O'Grady  is  out  to  win  the  first  prize  again 
in  the  Garden  Inspection  Competition.  Are  you 
going  to  let  him  be  a  third-time  winner'' 

Leo  Quinn  has  had  a  week's  vacation  and  has 
come  back  pretty  well  "reddened  up."  He  has 
been  getting  his  farm  in  good  shape. 

.Jim  McGary  made  a  boast  that  roses  were  the 
only  garden  product  that  interested  him;  but  we 
guess  .Jim  is  going  to  put  oddments  in  the  way  of 
vegetables  in  his  cellar,  like  a  wise  boy. 

John  Billings  says  that  "beans  is  beans"  and  we 
saw  something  of  John's  argument  when  he  almost 
gave  away  eleven  bushels  of  seed.  Beans  should 
be  plentiful  in  Motiroe  County  next  winter. 

Thomas  Hayes,  besides  breeding  rabbits,  is  raising 
quite  a  large  sized  area  according  to  the  seed  order 
he  sent  in. 

Charles  Warren  is  in  luck's  way  this  year.  Last 
season  he  secured  a  plot  of  ground,  and  the  owners 
built  on  it  before  Charlie  had  harvested  all  his 
crops.  This  year,  however,  he  has  discovered  and 
secured  a  lot  half  planted.  We'll  have  to  handicap 
him  in  the  final! 


.\ND  IT  WILL  BE  SOME  WALLOP  THE  OLD  GIRL  WILL  HAND  OUT 


THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE

IXTRODT  CIXG  MR. 


"All  right!  you  are  hired."  "Come 
along!"  How  sweet  those  words  sounded. 
It  was  hard  to  get  a  job  in  those  days. 
Even  when  the  Employment  man  had 
said  the  foregoing,  my  timidity  in  his  awe- 
some presence  did  not  abate  much.  Fol- 
lowing meekly,  he  led  me  on  through  halls 
to  the  Department  in  which  I  was  to  work. 

We  soon  arrived  at  our  destination,  the 
center  of  authority  being  symbolized  by  a 
stand-up,  home-made  "desk,"  nearly 
every  inch  of  the  top  of  which  was  covered 
with  steel  and  brass  machine  parts,  tools, 
tickets  and  junk.  Fussing  around  was  an 
individual  whom  I  afterward  sorrowfully 
learned  was  the  "Straw-Boss." 

My  guide  stepped  up  to  him,  and, 
without  salutation  of  any  sort  said, 
"Where  in  h —  is  Bill?"  The  answer  was, 
"I'll  fetch  him."  After  a  wait  of  five 
minutes  in  which  time  I  looked  around  at 
the  machines,  "Bill"  (the  Boss)  arrived. 
The  Employment  man  met  him  and  after 
an  exchange  of  words  left  me  to  my  fate. 

I  guess  "Bill"  didn't  have  much  faith  in 
the  judgment  of  the  Employment  man, 
since  his  first  words  to  me  were,  "Ever  run 
a  drill  before?"  I  answered  in  the  affirma- 
tive and  after  a  suspicious  look  was  turned 
over  to  the  tender  mercies  of  the  "Straw- 
Boss,"  Ike.  Friend  Isaac's  sole  ambition 
seemed  to  be  to  get  the  work  out  and  he 
went  along  the  lines  that  the  end  justified 
the  means.  I  must  have  been  an  awful 
care  to  him,  as  he  was  at  my  side  every  so 
often  to  see  how  many  pieces  I  had  done. 

Nobody  else  spoke  to  me  for  three  days. 
The  fourth  day  I  was  given  a  tapping  jol) 
and  was  having  a  little  difficulty  in  getting 
the  tap  straight  in  the  chuck.  Soon  one 
of  my  neighbor  workers  came  over  and 
started  to  give  me  advice  in  a  patronizing 
manner.  Now,  my  particular  problem  at 
that  moment  was  not  a  question  of  techni- 
cal knowledge,  but  one  of  perseverance, 
and  his  advice  was  ill-timed  enough  to 
irritate  me.  I  told  him  I  knew  how  to  do 
it  unassisted  and  he  abandoned  me  ;is 
hopeless. 


I  might  go  on  endlessly,  but  I  have  said 
enough  to  illustrate  what  was  a  common 
experience  in  being  employed  ten  years 
ago.  How  different  the  process  is  at 
present!  and  there  is  still  room  for 
improvement. 

The  "old-school"  type  of  Foremen  and 
Employment  man  are  fast  becoming  ex- 
tinct, and  in  their  place  are  the  courteous 
business-like  men  of  today,  who  know 
that  they  can  maintain  their  dignity  and 
authority  and  still  be  courteous  and 
human.  There  is  also  a  vast  difference 
of  attitude  among  the  rank  and  file  of  men 
and  women  toward  the  newcomer,  and 
still  it  can  be  emphasized. 

When  Mr.  Employment  Man  brings 
Mr.  Frank  Jones  to  meet  and  work  with 
Foreman,  Mr.  Brown,  a  good  start  is  made 
by  the  formal  business-like  introduction. 
When  the  Foreman  introduces  him  to  his 
immediate  neighbors,  that's  another  step, 
and  when  his  neighbors  are  friendly  and 
helpful,  well  he  feels  a  lot  different  than  I 
did  ten  years  ago. 


ELECTIONS 


Three  Department  elections  have  been  held    to

All  the  boys  in  the  Inspection  Room  are  mighty 
interested  in  George  Brooks'  new  venture  in  the 
Poultry  business.  From  a  small  beginning  his 
business  has  grown  so  rapidly  that  it  has  become 
the  largest  poultry  farm  in  the  northern  part  of 
the  State.  Vast  flocks  of  Rhode  Island  Reds, 
Plymouth  Rocks  and  Leghorns  scratched,  cackled 
and  laid  eggs.  Then — suddenly  and  cruelly — 
the  alarm  clock  rang  six  o'clock. 


We  are  all  glad  to  see  Charles  Mackley,  Janitor 
of  the  Carpenter  Department,  back  on  the  job 
again.  Charles  is  almost  the  "Grand  Old  Man" 
of  the  Camera  Works  in  age,  and  we  missed  his 
familiar  figure. 


John  Goodbody,  aljsentee  reporter,  says  that  the 
Camera  Works  is  remarkably  free  from  serious 
illness,  with  only  three  cases  of  nervous  breakdowns 
on  record.  This  sjjeaks  well  for  the  general  policies 
of  the  management,  who,  in  spite  of  high  production, 
arranges  for  good  health  by  giving  us  clean  sur- 
roundings and  sanitary  equipment. 


Lost:  In  the  vicinity  of  Lake  View  Park,  two 
bottles  of  "developer."  Any  information  concern- 
ing the  full  bottles  will  be  appreciated  by  Phil. 
Tierney,  Engineering  Department. 


Sympathy  is  extended  to  Harry  Gunderson, 
Engineering  Department,  on  the  death  of  his 
mother,  who  died  in  Chicago. 


Harrison   Ensman    has   a   new   Ford,

He   calls 


Bill  Lawrence  (Office)  didn't  care  how  long  the 
street  car  strike  lasted.     He  still  rides  the  old  bike. 


How's  the  garden  coming.^ 


For  modern  equipment  and  lighting  commend 
us  to  the  new  Drafting  Room.  The  draftsmen  are 
very  proud  of  their  new  quarters,  and  we  don't 
blame  them  a  bit. 


Jimmie  Gordon,  "the  popular  little  red-head," 
has  had  a  pretty  tough  time  with  appeuflicitis  and 
pneumonia,  but  we  hope  he  will  soon  take  his  place 
again  on  our  Soccer  Team. 


Alice  Alford  (Cost  Department)  is  to  become 
the  bride  of  Edward  Schiefen  on  the  date  of  the 
publication  of  this  magazine.     Best  wishes,  Alice! 


James  McMahon  (Screw  Machine  Department) 
is  taking  a  rest  after  twenty-two  years  of  continuous 
service  with  verv  few  breaks.     You  deserve  it,  Jim! 


Fred  Drury  of  the  Woodworking  Department  is 
very  enthusiastic  about  his  garden  and  it  would  not 
surprise  us  if  he  figured  well  in  the  running  for 
Exhibition  entrance. 


Peter  Hoderlein  and  Laura  Radtke,  both  of 
Crease  &  Cover  Department,  were  married  on 
May  4th,  and  spent  their  honeymoon  in  Canada. 
Peter  said  that  they  went  through  the  Canadian 
plant,  Toronto,  and  Mr.  Harry  Perkins  wanted 
him  to  stav  over  there. 


Frances    Newman    (Covering    Department)    left 
for  California  a  short  time  ago. 


Joe  Fisher  and  Bert  Brydie  are  urged  to  begin 
their  spring  golf  training  as  soon  as  possible  in 
order  to  be  in  prime  condition  when  the  champion- 
ship matches  are  pulled  off  this  fall. 


Fred  Brehm,  in  his  recent  showing  of  Scotch 
pictures,  illustrated  a  group  of  cattle  which  con- 
sumed two  weeks  of  his  time  to  photograph  in  a 
correct  pose  and  environment.  We  wonder  if  some 
of  the  men  in  the  Story-Teller's  Class  are  trailing 
Rhinoceroses  or  Wild  Elephants.'  It's  over  a  month 
ago  since  the  Pin-Hole  Cameras  were  borrowed  and 
all  of  them  are  not  returned,  to  date  of  this  writing.

HAWK-EYE  GARDEN  CLUB 


The  Hawk-Eye  Garden  Club  has 
started  out  this  year  with  a  new  lease  of 
life  and  bids  well  to  become  one  of  our 
strongest  organizations.  Seventy-five 
employees  have  signified  their  intention 
of  going  into  the  home  gardening  business 
as  the  most  effective  method  of  taking  a 
personal  wallop  at  Old  ^lan  H.  C.  L. 

The  officers  of  the  Club  were  elected 
by  vote  of  the  members  on  Friday,  May 
7th.  Mr.  F.  H.  Von  Deben,  Super- 
intendent of  the  Lens  Department,  was 
elected  President.  Mr.  John  Vass,  also 
of  the  Lens  Department,  was  elected 
Vice-President.  Mr.  Frank  Hanse,  of 
the  Production  Department,  was  elected 
Secretary -Treasurer.  All  three  men  are 
enthusiastic  gardeners  and  are  putting 
a  lot  of  pep  and  interest  into  the  Club. 
Mr.  Hanse,  especially,  has  been  largely 
responsible  for  the  growth  of  the  Club. 

The  effort  is  being  made  not  only  to 
encourage  the  growing  of  home  gardens, 
but  also  to  furnish  the  information 
necessary  to  insure  a  successful  crop. 
Concise  information  in  pamphlet  form 
is  furnished  to  each  of  the  members  at 
cost  and  an  effort  is  being  made  to  collect 
other  available  material  for  reference. 

The  seeds  and  tools  necessary  are  being 
purcha.sed  co-operatively  in  order  to  take 
advantage  of  a  substantial  reduction  in 
cost  offered  by  the  wholesale  dealers  in 
these  articles. 

It  is  planned  to  maintain  interest  in 
the  Club  by  keeping  in  touch  with  the 
progress    of   the    various    gardens.     The 


question  of  holding  an  exhibition  at  the 
end  of  the  gardening  season  is  to  be  left 
entirely  to  the  wishes  of  the  members. 
The  purpose  and  slogan  of  the  Club, 
however,  is  to  grow  more  food;  and  the 
question  of  an  exhibition  is  of  secondary 
importance.

The  annual  election  of  officers  of  the 
Hawk-Eye  Athletic  Association  was  held 
Friday  and  Saturday,  May  14th  and  15th. 
The  Nominating  Committee,  consisting  of 
Howard  Werner,  Chairman;  John  Vass, 
Pauline  Krzywick,  Louis  Ehrman  and 
Lillian  Wilson,  had  placed  three  candi- 
dates in  nomination  for  each  office.  The

day noon.  The  following  were  elected  to 
hold  office  for  one  year:  President,  John 
Vass,  Lens  Department;  Vice-President,

The  new  officers  are  planning  to  make 
the  Association  of  interest  and  benefit  to  a 
larger  number  by  devising  some  new 
stunts  in  the  line  of  entertainment  and 
athletics. 


PAULINE  KRZYWICK 
Cementing  Department 


Martin  Birmingham  of  the  Anastigmat  Lens 
Department  has  just  returned  from  a  three-week 
honeymoon  through  Canada. 

WilHam  De  Witte  of  the  Anastigmat  Lens 
Department  is  in  the  hospital  recovering  from  an 
operation.  He  has  the  best  wishes  of  his  fellow 
workers. 


The  Hawk-Eye  girls  held  their  first  practice 
game  of  Baseball  Wednesday,  May  5th,  on  their 
own  diamond.  The  game  proved  quite  a  success 
in  spite  of  tight  skirts,  falling  hairpins,  heavy 
bats  and  a  few  other  disadvantages,  such  as 
stiff  arms  and  high  heels. 


"Tommy"  Egan,  of  the  Anastigmat  Rough 
Grinding  Department,  has  been  on  a  hunting  trip, 
devoting  all  his  spare  time  to  it  for  the  past  thirty- 
three  days.  He  has  been  looking  for  a  house  to 
rent;  his  efforts  were  rewarded. 


Charles  Sandford — "Frank,  I  see  we  have  a  new 
man  at  the  inspecting  bench." 

Frank  Cooligan — "Oh,  no.  Charlie,  that's  not  a 
new  man;  that's  our  old  friend,  Paul  Witz,  buried 
in  a  new  shop  coat." 


Joe  Bauerschmidt  recently  took  the  family  out 
riding  through  Victor.  Around  Dead  Man's 
Curve  Joe  had  to  take  the  incline  on  second,  having 
stripped  his  low  gear.  He  failed  to  make  the  turn 
on  the  bridge  and  was  only  able  to  bring  the  car 
to  a  stop  as  the  engine  and  front  wheels  of  the  car 
peeked  over  the  side  of  the  bridge.  There  were 
eight  occupants.  Fortunately  the  only  thing  that 
went  overboard  was  Joe's  nerve,  of  which  he  had 
not  enough  left  to  pilot  the  car  back  to  Rochester. 


The  Production  Department  held  a  May  Walk 
at  Corbett's  Glen,  May  !2nd.  Among  the  events 
was  a  baseball  game  between  girls  and  men,  which 
the  girls  won. 


The  girls  of  the  "T.  A.  G."  Club  were  entertained 
by  May  Everson  at  her  home,  60  Lrquhart  Street, 
Friday  evening.  May  7th.  Marguerite  Fehrenback 
entertained  with  fancy  dancing.  May  Everson 
sang,  accompanied  by  Florence  Cook  at  the  piano. 


Mrs.  Etta  Wilcox,  of  the  Production  Department, 
is  on  a  sick  leave,  but  we  hope  to  have  her  with  us 
again  soon. 


It  is  expected  that  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Van  Veen  and 
son;  Miss  Dorothy  Kucht,  and  Miss  Lucy  Tate  will 
sail  for  Holland  on  the  Nezv  Amsterdam  on  July 
10th.

PREMO  CLUB  A  BIG  FACTOR  IX  SOCIAL  ACTIVITIES 

OF  pre:mo  works 


HERE  at  the  Premo  Works  Friday 
night  is  Big  Night.  It  is  the  time 
when  members  of  the  Premo  Ckib  gather 
in  the  dining-room,  which  is  equipped 
with  a  stage  and  can  readily  be  converted 
into  an  assembly  hall,  and  dance,  play 
cards,  listen  to  high-class  speeches,  or 
watch  clever  amateur  vaudevillists 
(Premo  Club  special  brand  preferred). 
The  spirit  of  good  fellowship  evinced 
at  these  social  gatherings  is  a  splendid 
indication  of  the  atmosphere  of  good 
feeling  that  permeates  the  entire  Premo 
Organization.  Capacity  attendance  is 
unfailingly  the  rule. 

yiv.  Ruttan  is  an  enthusiastic  booster 
of  the  Premo  Club  and  declares  that 
nothing  short  of  a  calamity  itself  would 
keep  him  away  from  the  Friday  night 
gatherings.  So  it  is  all  the  way  down 
the  line.  Everybody  in  the  Premo  Works 
stands  by  the  Premo  Club.  In  fact, 
when  you  say  Premo  Works,  you  might 
really  mean  the  Premo  Club,  so  well 
has  the  club  idea  taken  hold  of  both  the 
men  and  women  in  the  plant. 

The  first  Friday  night  of  the  month 
is  especially  important  in  Premo  Club 
activities,  for  it  is  then  that  an  outside 
speaker  of  note  is  brought  in  and  the 
evening's  entertainment  is  rounded  uj) 
with  vaudeville  of  distinctly  Premo 
Club  high-class  variety.  All  month 
dramatists  and  playwrights  of  the  Club 
work  overtime  concocting  new  morsels 
and  friendly  jabs  at  their  fellow  workmen. 
Xo  one  is  missed,  not  even  Alf  Ruttan 
(that's   the   name   ^Fr.    Ruttan   goes   by 


over  here)  and  no  one  laughs  more  heartily 
or  enjoys  a  joke  on  himself  more  than  he. 
At  this  meeting,  the  members  bring 
their  wives  and  sweethearts  and  parents, 
and  how  they  do  enjoy  it!  Healthy  fun 
is  always  the  rule,  and  as  one  member 
expresses  it,  after  an  evening  of  merriment 
such  as  the  Club  provides  on  this  night, 
one  feels  just   a   bit  closer  to  everyone 


MISS  LINDA  SCHWING 
Secretary  Premo  Club 

else.  After  all.  what  more  could  one 
want  to  accomj)lish  in  the  realm  of  human 
relations? 

The  second  Friday  evening  is  devoted 
to  dancing  and  the  third  to  progressive 
pedro  (which  has  the  advantage  of  taking 
people  from  one  table  to  another,  thus 
bringing  everybody  in  close  social  contact

THE    KODAK    MAGAZINE 


some  time  in  the  evening  with  everybody 
else).  The  last  Friday  night  is  used 
for  "extras"  and  usually  is  well  taken 
up,  too. 

The  Premo  Club  is  also  strong  for 
educational  innovations  and  frequently 
a  short  program  of  specially 
educational  type  is  interspersed 
with  the  vaudeville  acts.  One 
particularly  valuable  feature  of 
this  kind  was  produced  some 
time  ago  in  connection  with  the 
Premo  Works  Safety  Campaign. 
The  stage  was  rigged  up  as  the 
plant's  hospital  with  the  nurse 
at  her  desk.  The  telephone  bell 
rang  announcing  that  some  one 
from  the  factory  was  hurt. 
"Send  him  at  once,"  the  nurse 
replied.  Next,  one  of  the  men  from  the 
Premo  Works  who  had  been  actually 
injured  (accident  listed  avoidable)  was 
brought  in,  his  hand  swathed  in  first-aid 
bandages.  The  nurse  took  him  to  the 
dressing  table  and  dressed  the  wound 
exactly  as  she  had  done  immediately 
after  the  real  accident  had  happened. 

Just  as  the  injured  man  was  taken  off 
the  stage  the  lights  suddenly  went  out 
and  a  slide  was  thrown  on  the  screen 
showing  the  man  at  his  machine  and  in 
the  position  he  was  when  the  accident 
occurred.  A  lesson  was  driven  home 
here  in  the  strongest  manner  for  the 
operators  to  be  careful.  The  next  slide 
showed  the  healed  hand  with  the  fingers 
missing.  Such  a  realistic  display,  of 
course,  was  powerfully  effective  and 
helped  much  to  keep  the  accident  toll 
down. 

Actual  operations  are  also  illustrated 
on  the  stage  by  men  and  women  who 
perform  them  every  day  in  the  factory. 
At  one  meeting,  for  instance,  some  of 
the  wood-working  that  is  done  on  a  Premo 
camera  was  demonstrated  by  one  of  the 
men  from  the  Wood-working  Depart- 
ment. At  another  time,  a  man  from 
the  Finishing  Department  held  forth. 
Experts  from  the  other  Kodak  plants 
have  also  been  called  in  to  talk  on  such 


PREMO  CLUB  MASCOT 


topics  as  shutters  and  lenses,  of  special 
interest  to  Premo  workers.  Men  and 
women  from  inside  the  plant  are  asked 
to  talk,  too,  on  the  work  they  are 
particularly  concerned  with.  Mr.  Ruttan 
sees  to  it  that  the  foremen  especially 
get  up  at  these  meetings  and 
let  themselves  out;  it  tends  to 
improve  their  power  of  expres- 
sion and  explanation,  he  says. 
Of  course  Mr.  Ruttan  also  is 
often  called  upon  to  discuss 
various  topics. 

The  Premo  Club  was  founded 
in  1914  when  only  foremen  and 
their  assistants  who  made  of  it  a 
sort  of  bowling  club  were  eligi- 
ble. The  charter  members  num- 
bered thirty-five,  all  of  whom 
are  still  in  the  factory  excepting  one  man 
who  has  since  passed  away.  Later  the 
Club's  activities  were  enlarged  and  all 
men  and  women  in  the  factory  were 
invited  to  join.  Dues  are  'S'i.OO  a  year 
and  the  Club  is  entirely  self-supporting. 
A  large  number  of  the  Premo  workers 
belong  to  the  Club.  As  a  get-together 
project,  they  swear  by  it. 


ASSISTANT  EDITOR'S  NOTES

PKEMO  CLUB  COMMITTEES  HAVE  OUTING 


4FTER  working  liard  tlie  past  season 
jL\.  preparing  and  putting  on  entertain- 
ments for  the  club  members  in  general,  the 
diflFerent  committees  just  wanted  to  get 
outdoors  where  they  could  let  out,  and 
May  first  was  the  date  set.  As  the  whistle 
blew  Saturday  noon  thirty-eight  persons, 
representing  all  the  committees  for  the 
diflFerent  activities,  assembled  in  front 
of  the  building  where  a  sufficient  number 
of  autos  was  waiting  to  take  them  to 
Maplewood.  On  their  arrival  there  one 
of  the  best  chicken  dinners,  Mr.  Henrv 


Winters  said  he  ever  sat  down  to,  w^as 
served.  During  the  meal,  slams,  which 
had  been  prepared  in  advance  on  each 
one  present,  were  passed  around,  each 
taking  a  turn  in  reading,  and  from  the 
laughter  that  followed,  evidently  they 
were  well  taken.  After  the  dinner  all 
adjourned  to  the  lawn  where  there  was 
something  doing  every  minute.  Homer 
Ransom,  one  of  our  Y.  M.  C.  A.  recreation 
graduates,  was  just  chuck  full  of  stunts 
and  kept  things  on  the  move  until  a  late 
hour.

PREMO  CLUB  DANCES 

On  the  third  Friday  of  each  month  beginning  with 
November  about  ninety  of  the  Premo  Workers  have 
full  swing  on  the  hardwood  floor  in  the  Premo  Club 
Room  and  they  do  it  creditably. 

On  special  nights  such  as  Valentine,  St.  Patrick, 
etc.,  Mr.  Rake  with  his  faithful  committee  sure 
knows  how  to  decorate  the  hall  for  the  occasion. 
With  the  wind-up  of  the  season  Friday  evening, 
April  16th,  they  gave  us  some  surprise;  instead  of 
the  regular  orchestra  which  had  been  supplying 
music  at  the  previous  dances,  music  was  furnished 
by  Premo  Works  "Own  Brand"  which,  without  any 
question,  has  the  approval  of  all.  The  committee 
in  charge  of  all  dances  is  as  follows:  Creorge  Rake, 
Chairman;  George  Topel,  Linda  Schwing  and  Mary 
Dafner. 


The  consolation  trophy  of  the  Bowling  League, 
won  by  the  Camera  Works  for  1919-1920,  has 
adorned  our  Manager's  desk  since  the  close  of  the 
1918  season.  Albert  Knitter,  our  janitor,  says  he 
is  glad  that  the  darn  thing  is  gone. 


Mrs.  Rhoda  Stott  of  the  Assembly  Department 
has  solved  the  high  rent  problem  for  the  present. 
Rhoda  rented  a  lot  up  the  river  and  is  building  a 
camp.  Fine  business,  Rhoda,  but  do  not  forget  the 
mosquito  netting. 


Vernie  Osborn  of  the  Assembly  Department  has 
purchased  a  car.  Bring  it  around,  Vernie,  we  all 
like  to  get  a  shaking  up  once  in  a  while.

HEALTH  CLASSES  FOR  GIRLS 


The  first  morning  of  the  street  car  strike  95  per 
cent  of  the  employees  were  at  work  when  the  whistle 
blew.  This  being  a  short  day  and  considering 
where  some  of  us  live,  we  can  hardly  blame  the  boss 
for  feeling  "chesty"  about  it. 


MISS  JUSTINE  CUNNINGHAM 


MR.  .\ND  MRS.  KEETON  W.  CLARK 


.Justine  Cunningham,  our  nurse  at  Premo,  is 
making  quite  a  hit  with  her  health  classes  for  girls, 
and  so  successful  has  the  first  course  of  lessons 
proved  to  be  that  another  course  will  be  given  for  a 
new  class,  and  an  advanced  course  inaugurated  for 
girls  who  want  to  continue  their  studies. 

In  the  first  class  which  began  in  Xovember,  1919, 
forty-six  girls  were  enrolled.  The  classes  meet  on 
Monday  and  Wednesday  immediately  after  5:30 
in  the  evening  and  continue  in  session  for  one  hour. 

Subjects  for  consideration  in  these  classes  are 
personal  and  general  hygiene  and  other  important 
topics  of  interest  to  young  women.  All  sorts  of 
questions  are  solicited  by  Miss  Cunningham,  and 
to  avoid  embarrassment  the  girls  are  asked  to  turn 
in  their  questions  unsigned,  in  wTiting.  Dr.  Sawyer 
has  also  been  called  in  to  give  talks  on  certain 
appropriate  occasions. 

.\11  in  all.  the  health  class  idea  for  girls  is  a  very 
commendable  one,  and  Miss  Cunningham  deserves 
a  heap  of  credit  for  initiating  the  movement.

Through  the  courtesy  of  the  S.  B.  Roby  Company 
a  moving  picture  production  was  given  in  the  Premo 
Club  rooms  showing  the  uses  and  abuses  of  the  twist 
drill.  AI)out  sixty  of  the  men  and  women  who  work 
on  the  drill  presses  stayed  to  see  the  picture  from 
5:15  to  G:15.  It  grai)hically  covered  such  vital 
subjects  as  drilling,  grinding,  how  to  determine  the 
best  feeds  and  .speeds,  common  troubles  and  how 
to  avoid  them;  in  short,  how  to  get  the  most  money 
out  of  the  drills  regardless  of  the  make.  This  was 
a  very  interesting  an<l  instructive  picture.

We  want  to  congratulate  John  Roach  of  the 
Metal  Department  in  helping  some  of  the  employees 
of  his  neighborhood  to  work  during  the  street  car 
strike.  John  unloaded  eight  from  his  "Fli\-\'er"  the 
other  morning. 


If  you  have  a  relative  or  friend  you  would  like  to 
recommend  for  employment  with  the  Company, 
ask  your  foreman  for  a  recommendation  for 
employment  blank,  fill  it  in  and  send  to  the 
Employment  Department.  We  have  placed  a 
number  of  your  friends  through  this  medium. 


Why  not  be  careful  now?  We  have  seen  some 
near  accidents  by  the  employees  rushing  out  across 
the  street  without  looking  to  the  right  or  left  and 
seeming  to  have  only  one  thought  in  mind,  that  is 
to  catch  a  street  car.  It  is  better  to  always  be 
careful  than  to  always  be  crippled. 


We  want  your  suggestions.  Get  your  ideas  on 
paper  if  you  are  interested  in  better  factory  condi- 
tions, improving  products,  reducing  accidents  or 
fire  hazards.  Any  thoughts  along  these  lines  might 
seem  small  to  you  but  might  be  a  great  saving  to 
the  Company  and  prove  profitable  to  you. 


At  last  we  have  Albert  Noyes  back  of  the  bars. 
"AUie"  moved  into  his  new  Department  April  16th 
and  takes  care  of  all  special  repair  jobs. 


Mrs.  Leddy  says  that  we  will  have  some  real 
coffee  now  that  the  Boss  has  bought  her  a  coffee 
grinder.  Better  still,  see  the  l)rand  of  coffee  the 
Company  has  made  it  possible  for  us  to  buy! 


George  Franklin,  foreman  of  the  Focusing 
Department,  was  taken  to  the  General  Hospital 
Wednesday,  January  14th,  to  be  placed  in  a  plaster 
Paris  cast  on  account  of  a  strain  in  his  back,  due  to 
lifting  a  heavy  object.  Through  the  prompt  and 
efficient  care  received  from  our  Medical  Department 
he  was  able  to  return  to  his  work  in  less  than  eleven 
weeks. 

There  is  a  certain  Premo  man  who  likes  to  get 
things  done;   the  following  is  one  of  his  stories: 

In  Montana  a  railroad  bridge  had  been  destroyed 
by  fire,  and  it  was  necessary  to  replace  it. 

The  bridge  engineer  and  his  staff  were  ordered  in 
haste  to  the  place.  Two  days  later  came  the  super- 
intendent of  the  division.  Alighting  from  his  pri- 
vate car,  he  encountered  the  old  master  bridge 
builder. 

"Bill,"  said  the  superintendent — and  the  words 
quivered  with  energy — "I  want  this  job  rushed. 
Every  hour's  delay  costs  the  company  money. 
Have  you  got  the  engineer's  plans  for  the  new 
bridge.^"  "I  don't  know,"  said  the  bridge  builder, 
"whether  the  engineer  has  the  picture  drawed  yet 
or  not,  but  the  bridge  is  up  and  the  trains  are 
passing  over  it." 


AGE  10  YEARS 

This  young  chap  has  worked  at  the  Premo  for  the 
past  twelve  years.  Isn't  he  a  fine  looking  boy? 
He  hasn't  changed  much  in  looks  and  is  on  the  job 
throughout  the  Plant  every  day.  There  is  one 
dollar  waiting  in  the  E.  &  S.  Department  for  the  first 
Premo  employee  guessing  who  this  is,  providing 
they  are  not  acquainted  with  his  wife. 


Florian  Mura  of  the  Metal  Department  finished 
up  in  the  Bowling  League  with  high  individual 
average,  high  game  and  highest  average;  not  so  bad 
for  one  man.  Let  us  see  if  we  can  develop  a  few 
more  like  Florian  for  next  season.

The  first  of  June  brings  to  a  close  the 
first  year  of  our  Atliletic  iVssociation. 

Starting  with  a  membership  of  150  we 
have  rapidly  grown  until  now  we  have 
297  members. 

We  have  been  very  successful  in  the 
past  year  in  carrying  on  all  our  social 
and  athletic  activities  and  we  expect  to 


carry  on  the  work  this  year  on  a  much 
larger  scale  than  ever  before.  We  have 
been  handicapped  considerably  in  the 
past  on  account  of  insufficient  room  to 
hold  our  meetings,  smokers,  entertain- 
ments, etc.  But  in  the  near  future  our 
new  building  will  be  completed  and  we 
have  been  promised  ample  room  there 
to  carry  on  our  work.

MAIN  OFFICE  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION 

It  looks  as  if  we  were  going  to  have 
an  Athletic  Association  here  in  the  Main 
Office,  even  though  we  have  been  a  bit 
slow  in  organizing  one.  The  results 
of  the  circular  letter  which  was  sent  to 
each  employee  by  the  Promotion  Com- 
mittee consisting  of  W.  German,  J. 
Leysennar  and  N.  A.  Van  De  Carr,  were 
very  gratifying;  938  employees  are  in 
favor  of  such  an  organization  and  are 
willing  to  support  it.  We  believe  that 
when  we  get  under  way  and  start  the 
ball  rolling  the  two  hundred  who  failed 
to  sign  up  will  want  to  be  among 
us.  The  following  representatives  have 
been  chosen  by  the  employees  to  represent

and  we  wish  to  congratulate  him  on  his  promotion. 

Mr.  Richard  Behrens,  who  has  been  sick  for  some

Sixth  Floor  hope  to  see  him  back  soon.

"A  MESSAGE  FROM  THE  WOODS" 

A  very  interesting  letter  was  recently  received 
from  Mr.  Leon  Hill  of  the  Auditing  Department, 
who  is  spending  a  few  months  in  the  Adirondacks. 
Mr.  H.  C.  Rayten,  to  whom  the  letter  was  addressed, 
kindly  passed  it  about  the  department  and  Mr. 
Hills  associates  learned  with  pleasure  that  he  is 
improving  in  health  and  enjoys  his  present  sur- 
roundings. Mr.  Hill  mentioned  particularly  the 
pleasure  he  derived  from  reading  the  last  issue  of 
Kodakery,  which  also,  through  the  kindness  of  Mr. 
Rayten,  had  been  sent  him.  It  occurs  to  the  writer 
that  possibly  others  could  send  Mr.  Hill  some  of 
the  later  magazines  after  having  finished  with  them. 
You  can  obtain  information  as  to  how  to  forward 
mail  matter  by  telephoning  to  Mr.  Rayten.  Do 
this — it  will  throw  another  ray  of  sunlight  into  the 
woods  where  Mr.  Hill  is  and  make  his  stay  there 
even  more  staying.

came  Mr.  Favour  and  the  Service  Department  and 
Mr.  German  and  the  Stock  Department.  The 
latest  to  realize  the  advantage  of  an  8th  Floor

Department,  will  occupy  the  west  end  of  the  room.

OUR  DISPLAY  ROOM 


FOR  a  good  many  years  the  Sales 
Department  at  State  Street  was 
content  with  just  a  display  case  con- 
taining samples  of  the  various  styles  of 
Kodaks  and  Brownies  and  amateur 
sundries.  But  in  our  organization  things 
just  seem  to  grow  over  night,  and  we 
kept  adding  new  lines  for  both  amateur 
and  professional  use  until  this  display 
case  afforded  anything  but  a  fair  idea  of 
the  goods  we  manufactured. 

Then  when  we  had  a  dealer,  or  some 
other  visitor,  who  was  interested  in  the 
line,  we  had  to  take  him  around  to  the 
other  plants  to  look  things  over.  This 
was  always  a  pleasant  duty  because  we 
like  to  have  our  customers  see  what  a 
fine  factorv   organization   we   have,   but 


oftentimes  the  visitor  could  not  spare 
the  necessary  hours  and  minutes. 

Now,  however,  we  have  a  finely- 
appointed,  well-lighted  display  room 
which  contains  a  sample  of  everything 
we  manufacture  from  the  simplest 
Brownie  to  the  lordly  Century  Grand 
Studio  Outfit.  Should  the  visitor,  for 
instance,  intjuire  as  to  what  we  have  in 
tripods  we  can  sliow  him  everything 
from  tiie  small  metal  one  that  you  can 
carry  in  your  overcoat  pocket  to  the 
twelve-footer  used  by  the  commercial 
man. 

The  illustration  herewith  shows  only 
a  portion  of  the  display  room,  as  its 
location  and  arrangement  prevents  our 
photographing  it  in  its  entirety. 


Good  times  for  all  can  only  be  the  product  of  good  work  by  all.

of  the  Main  office,  which  had  been  very 
attractively  arranged  for  the  occasion. 

The  evening  was  spent  in  playing 
games  and  dancing,  after  which  a  most 
delightful  luncheon  was  served  by  the 
young  ladies  of  the  department. 

The  tables  were  very  prettily  decorated 
with  spring  flowers. 

[Music  was  rendered  by  Mr.  Anselmi.

Branch  Kinney  of  the  Bookkeeping  Department. 
He  is  at  Saranac  and  writes  that  while  he  is  still 
confined  to  his  room,  his  general  condition  is  much 
improved.  Make  it  snappy,  Pop,  we  want  you  to 
umpire  some  ball  games  this  summer.

]\Ir.  Shuford  and  [Sir.  Llerena  were 
presented,  in  behalf  of  the  department, 
with  a  very  beautiful  remembrance, 
which  was  accepted  very  gracefully  by 
them. 

Mr.  Shuford  and  Mr.  Llerena  left  on 
the  steamship  "Avare"  the  latter  part  of 
May  for  Rio  de  Janeiro,  Brazil,  where 
they  are  to  open  a  branch  house  for  us. 

We  wish  them  all  joy  and  success  in 
this  new  adventure.

Francisco,  where  he  will  attend  the

retire — to  the  tall  timbers.

THE  '  FLYING  SQUADRON" 


A  great  many  of  the  women  employed 
at  the  Main  Office,  occupying  responsible 
positions  with  the  Company  today,  started 
their  business  career  with  us  as  messenger 
girls.  For  this  reason  we  are  very  par- 
ticular as  to  the  class  of  girls  we  select  for 
this  work,  and  as  to  their  appearance  and 
deportment. 

A  few  weeks  ago,  the  Rest  Room  having 
been  refurnished  quite  scrumptious,  Mrs. 
Armstrong  decided  to  give  the  youngsters 
a  party,  and  you  may  rest  assured  no  one 
declined. 


The  "Flying  Squadron,"  as  they  have 
been  aptly  termed,  had  more  than  a  good 
time,  ice  cream  and  trimmings,  and  other 
doings.  Then  they  had  a  real  honest-to- 
goodness  business  session  and  formulated 
their  own  rules  as  to  dress  and  general 
deportment.  They  displayed  most  excel- 
lent judgment  and  we  are  mighty  proud 
of  them. 

If  any  of  the  other  plants  can  show  a 
better  looking  or  brighter  bunch  of 
youngsters,  the  Main  Office  challenges 
you  to  produce  them.

can  be^replaced,  as  Miss  Mabel  Yates  is  proving  to 
everyone's  satisfaction,  but  Ruth  Shipley  cannot, 
and  many  a  long  and  busy  day  will  have  passed 
before  we  cease  to  miss  her  very  vital  personality. 
None  of  us  will  be  likely  to  forget  her  warm  friend- 
liness, her  sincerity,  her  generosity,  or  her  capacity 
for  fun.     Do  we  wish  her  well?     We  do. 


Miss  Corrine  Welch  is  our  new  Visiting  Nurse. 
She  is  a  graduate  of  the  Rochester  Homeopathic 
Hospital,  Class  of  1917.  If  you  are  planning  a 
motor  trip  this  summer  it  might  be  well  to  talk  it 
over  with  Miss  Welch.  She  has  all  the  latest 
information  on  driving  Fords  across  rivers,  over 
trees,  through  houses,  and  she  can  even  make  hers 
go  up  and  down  steps. 

Miss  Edith  Kate  Reid,  formerly  of  the  Testing 
Department,  is  now  residing  in  London,  in  the 
employ  of  Kodak  Limited.  Her  many  friends 
are  pleased  to  know  that  she  is  enjoying  her  stay 
abroad. 

Mr.  Carl  Mattern  of  the  Engraving  Department 
is  now  the  happy  owner  of  a  Ford  Touring  Car. 
He  extends  a  cordial  invitation  to  all  the  girls  to  ride 
with  him. 

Mr.  Arthur  Heckler  of  the  Engraving  Department 
has  bought  a  house  on  Woodland  Park.  Congrat- 
ulations to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Heckler  on  possessing 
their  own  home. 


Arthur  Wells  Graley,  of  the  Sales  Department, 
passed  away  at  the  family  residence,  86  Elmdorf 
Avenue,  April  28th,  age  38  years.  He  had  been 
with  the  Company  since  October,  1901,  originally 
at  Kodak  Park,  later  being  transferred  to  the  Sales 
Department,  where  he  had  been  continuously  em- 
ployed since. 

We  find  no  words  that  adequately  express  the 
deep  loss  that  is  felt  at  the  taking  away  of  one 
who  was  so  closely  associated  with  us.  He  had 
the  happy  faculty  of  carrying  with  him  an  atmos- 
phere of  good  cheer  and  always  had  time  for  a 
pleasant  word  of  greeting,  which  was  passed  along 
without  favoritism — all  evidences  of  his  goodness 
of  heart.  His  passing  is  not  only  deeply  felt  by 
his  co-workers,  but  by  a  large  circle  of  friends  and 
acquaintances  outside  of  the  Company.

KODAK  ATHLETICS  SHOW  STEADY  ADVANCE 
SINCE  PIONEER  DAYS 


ROCHESTER  has  in  past  years  built 
up  an  enviable  reputation  as  a 
lively  town  for  athletics  which  turns  out 
crack  teams  in  all  sports.  "A  first-rate 
town"  is  the  way  the  Kodak  City  is 
known  throughout  the  sporting  world. 
It  is,  therefore,  very  appropriate  that 
Rochester's  leading  industry  should  like- 
^\nse  have  a  fair  name  in  athletics. 

The  development  of  an  athletic  spirit 
and  the  growth  of  athletic  interest 
throughout  the  various  Rochester 
branches  of  the  Eastman  Kodak 
Company  have  shown  steady  though 
gradual  progress,  with  greatly  increased 
activity  during  the  past  few  years. 
Each  plant  is  now  distinctly  interested 
in  athletic  ventures  of  many  kinds,  and 
the  program  of  events  is  constantly 
enlarging. 

Of  course  it  would  have  been  a  serious 
blot  on  the  strictly  American  escutcheon 
of  this  Company  if  any  other  sport  than 
baseball  had  been  the  first  to  claim  a 
following  among  Kodak  men.  W.  H. 
Durfee,  of  the  Main  Office,  who  started 
with  the  Company  way  back  in  1887, 
and  who  is  still  very  much  on  the  job, 
helping  to  turn  out  photographic 
materials,  is  one  of  the  few  remaining 
witnesses  of  those  early  days.  At  that 
time  the  whole  force  consisted  of  only 
twenty-five  or  thirty  m  e  n.  "No 
Saturday  afternoons  off  those  days  nor 
no  five-thirty  ciuitting  time,"  said  Mr. 
Durfee,  "but  just  the  same,  in  the 
summer  time  when  the  days  were  longer, 
a  bunch  of  us  used  to  go  down  to  the 
River.  There  was  a  vacant  lot  down 
there  where  the  Gas  Company's  plant 
now  is.  We'd  play  'two  old  cat,'  or, 
like  as  not,  we'd  only  have  enough  to 
play  'one  old  cat.'  But,  after  a  year  or 
two,  as  business  kei)t  growing,  we  had 
to  move  down  to  another  vacant  lot 
near  the  Driving'  Park  Avenue  Bridge." 


The  first  scheduled  game  of  ba.seball 
recorded  in  the  annals  of  the  Company 
was  played  as  a  feature  of  the  Company's 
first  picnic  at  Manitou  Beach  in  1888. 
Here  the  married  men  lined  up  against 
the  single  men,  and  naturally,  it  was  a 
merry  tussle.     Ask  Mr.  Durfee,  he  knows. 

Baseball  lias  thus  been  played 
practically  since  the  earliest  days  of 
the  Company.  The  first  baseball  league 
was  organized  in  1906,  with  a  team 
representing  each  of  the  six  Rochester 
plants.  This  league  lasted  for  only  one 
season.  During  the  following  years 
independent  teams  were  maintained  at 
Kodak  Park  and  at  the  Camera  "Works. 
In  1919  the  Eastman  Kodak  Baseball 
League  was  organized,  and  played  a  15- 
game  schedule.  The  completion  of  the 
schedule  found  Hawk-Eye  and  Camera 
Works  tied  for  first  place,  and  the  play-off 
game  at  Baseball  Park  drew  a  crowd 
worthy  of  a  professional  attraction.  The 
Camera  Works  team,  after  winning  the 
League  championship,  competed  unsuc- 
cessfully for  the  City  Industrial  title. 
The  Baseball  League  is  back  on  the  job 
again,  stronger  this  year  than  ever,  and 
there  is  n  o  w  little  doubt  that  the 
organization  is  here  to  stay. 

The  athletic  organization  boasting  the 
largest  history  of  any  in  the  Company 
is  the  Camera  Bowling  League,  which 
has  been  constantly  in  existence  since 
190'3.  This  was  the  first  bowling  league 
formed  in  the  City  of  Rochester,  and  its 
history  dates  back  to  the  old  nine-pin 
days.  As  a  troi)hy  for  the  League,  the 
bowlers  have  a  perpetual  challenge  cup 
which  was  put  up  by  ]Mr.  Eastman  in 
1903,  and  has  been  fought  for  every 
year  since  that  time.  There  are  also 
two  other  prizes — a  consolation  trophy 
for  the  team  finishing  second,  and  a 
handicap  trophy.  The  following  chart 
shows   which   plant   has   carried   off   the

From  this  beginning,  interest  in  bowhng 
spread  until  at  the  present  time,  not 
only  is  every  plant  represented  in  the 
Camera  Bowling  League,  but  several 
interdepartmental  bowling  leagues  have 
been  organized  at  the  different  factories 
as  well.  Last  winter  saw  the  first 
season  on  the  alleys  for  an  eight-team 
league  from  the  Folmer-Century  asso- 
ciation. The  Camera  Works  Bowling 
League  has  been  on  the  alleys  every 
season  for  about  the  la.st  decade,  and 
last  winter  a  four-team  circuit  known  as 
the  Shutter  League  rolled  a  short 
schedule.  Kodak  Park  has  the  Yard 
League  and  two  other  leagues  under  the 
supervision  of  the  Kodak  Park  Athletic 
Association. 

A  mellow  memory  of  the  Camera 
Bowling  League  has  been  the  banquets 
often  held  at  the  end  of  the  season.  These 
events  have  furnished  the  occasion  for 
a  general  celebration.  The  League 
numbers  among  its  participants  and 
supporters  more  of  the  old-timers  of  the 
Company  than  any  other  athletic  activity 
— a  natural  result  of  its  long  establish- 
ment and  the  steady  interest  which  has 
been  shown. 

Indoor  baseball  is  also  a  sport  which 
attracts  the  attention  of  many  people  at 


each  plant.  Last  winter  both  Hawk-Eye 
and  Kodak  Park  were  represented  in  the 
City  Indoor  League.  Six  interdepart- 
mental teams  made  up  the  Camera  Works 
Indoor  League,  which  played  a  three- 
months'  schedule. 

Track  and  field  athletics  came  in  for 
their  share  of  attention  at  the  first 
Annual  Field  Day  at  Exposition  Park, 
October  4th,  1919.  There  were  over 
400  entries  for  a  well-balanced  program 
of  events. 

The  advance  of  athletics  at  Kodak 
Park  has  been  noticeably  rapid  since 
the  organization  of  the  Kodak  Park 
Athletic  Association.  Football  was  tried 
for  one  season,  but  had  to  be  dropped 
because  of  the  time  required  for  training. 
Since  that  time,  soccer  football  has  been 
a  regular  feature  of  the  athletic  program, 
and  Kodak  Park  has  been  a  hot  contender 
for  local  and  state  championships. 

Under  the  K.  P.  A.  A.,  the  Noon  Hour 
League  and  the  Twilight  League  have 
enabled  many  other  employees  to  play 
baseball.  Other  summer  activities  of 
the  Association  include  the  maintenance 
of  a  bathhouse  on  Beach  Avenue  at 
Charlotte,  the  conduct  of  an  annual 
swimming  meet  at  Seneca  Park,  and  an 
annual  tennis  tournament.  This 
tournament  is  used  as  a  means  of  selecting 
the  team  to  represent  Kodak  Park  in 
the  City  Tennis  League. 

In  basketball  Kodak  Park  has  built 
up  an  enviable  reputation  throughout 
Central  and  Western  New  York.  One 
of  the  feats  recorded  by  the  Park  five  is  a 
victory  over  the  World's  Champion 
Buffalo  German-Orioles. 

Basketball  in  the  Company  is  not 
confined,  however,  to  the  efforts  of  this 
team.  The  Departments  at  Kodak  Park 
to  the  number  of  eight  played  in  the 
K.  P.  A.  A.  Basketball  League. 

The  Kodak  Park  girls  have  been 
playing  basketball  for  several  seasons, 
one  stipulation  being,  however,  that  the 
game  shall  be  played  according  to  men's 
rules.  Premo  girls  have  also  played 
in  other  vears,   and  were  on  the  court

again  last  season.  Hawk-Eye  and  Cam- 
era Works  teams  also  made  their  initial 
bow  to  the  basketball  world  last  winter. 

Recently  both  the  Hawk-Eye  and  the 
Folmer-Century  plants  have  organized 
athletic  associations  somewhat  similar 
to  the  one  at  Kodak  Park.  The  Hawk- 
Eye  Association  has  an  exceptional  record 
with  85  per  cent,  of  the  employees  on  its 
membership  roll. 

The  Camera  Works  Recreation  Club  is 
another  recently  formed  organization  of 
the  same  nature,  but  its  activities  during 
its  brief  existence  have  been  numerous, 
a  Camera  Works  soccer  team  in  the 
Rochester  and  District  League  being 
one  of  its  notable  accomplishments. 

That  the  other  plants  of  the  Company 
have  not  been  represented  to  a  greater 
extent  in  athletic  endeavor  is  due,  for 
one  thing,  to  the  difficulties  experienced 
in  getting  suitable  places  for  practice  and 
games.  Kodak  Park,  of  course,  has  its 
Assembly  Hall  for  the  use  of  its  basketball 
teams.  All  the  bowlers  have  been, 
however,  dependent  u|)on  down-town 
alleys,  which  were  rented  for  the  various 
Leagues. 

The  return  of  former  employees  from 
the  military  and  naval  service  of  the 
country,  together  with  the  employment 
of  new  service  m  e  n  who  have  not 
previously  worked  here,  has  added 
appreciably  to  the  material  available. 
There  are  almost  1,600  former  service 
men  on  the  payroll.  This  furnishes  a 
reservoir  of  athletic  strength,  which  will 
enable  each  plant  to  turn  out  very  good 
representative  teams. 

WARNING 

If  you  wish  to  send  money  to  foreign 
countries  use  the  banks  as  a  medium  of 
exchange  rather  than  the  Post  Office,  as 
exchange  rates  have  not  been  adjusted 
to  permit  any  reduction  by  the  latter 
department  in  favor  of  the  sender,  and 
there  is  a  possiliility  you  will  lose  money 
if  you  use  the  Government  orders  instead 
of  bank  drafts. 


HOW  T(J  MAKE  GOOD  PICTURES 

"Oh!  so  you  work  for  the  Kodak 
Company.  I'm  going  to  bring  my  Kodak 
over  some  night  and  have  you  see  what 
is  wrong  with  the  shutter;"  or,  "you 
ought  to  know  all  about  pictures,  tell  me 
what  is  wrong  with  these  prints,"  and 
so  on  almost  every  place  you  go. 

There  is  an  old  saying  to  the  effect  that 
"cobblers'  children  are  without  shoes," 
and,  while  there  are  dozens  of  our 
employees  who  are  first-class  amateur 
photographers,  there  are  also,  and  like- 
wise, many  hundreds  whose  real 
knowledge  of  photography  is  best 
represented  by  the  hole  in  a  doughnut. 

When  you  come  to  look  into  the  matter, 
however,  you  find  that  most  all  of  us  are 
interested  in  amateur  photography  and 
have  made  more  or  less  progress  towards 
photographic  efficiency,  but  have  been 
working  in  an  aimless  sort  of  fashion 
without  skilled  guidance  and  without 
an  idea  as  to  just  where  to  go  for 
instruction. 

The  Camera  Works,  under  the  guidance 
of  Mr.  Brehm,  has  started  a  class  in 
photography  with  most  excellent  results. 
Why  don't  you  start  something  similar 
in  your  own  plant .'^  If  you  prefer  to  go 
it  alone,  you  will  find  a  most  excellent 
guide  in  our  amateur  text  book,  "How 
to  Make  Good  Pictures."  This  book 
covers  practically  the  whole  range  of 
amateur  picture  making,  it  is  profusely 
illustrated  and  is  written  in  language 
that  every  one  can  understand.  Even 
if  you  are  a  fairly  well  advanced  amateur 
you  will  still  find  many  useful  pointers 
within  its  covers. 

"How  to  Make  Good  Pictures"  may 
be  ordered  in  the  usual  manner,  and  its 
price  to  employees  is  twenty-four  cents 
per  copy. 


Wouldn't  it  be  nice  if  everybody's  work 
was  as  easy  as  the  other  fellow  thinks  it 
is':

BASEBALL  STARS  ALL  SET  EOR  SECOND  SEASON 


Save  Saturday ! 

Opening  Day — Eastman  Kodak  Base- 
ball League. 

After  finishing  up  in  a  dead-lock  which 
required  a  post-season  play-off  to  decide 
its  first  championship,  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Baseball  League  is  back  in  line 
for  1920. 

Saturday,  June  5th,  is  Opening  Day, 
and  everybody  is  all  set  for  big  ceremonies 
at  the  Kodak  Park  Athletic  Field.  x\t 
2:00  o'clock  Frank  Crouch,  as  Official 
Announcer,  will  start  the  ball  rolling. 
The  six  teams,  in  uniform,  led  by  the 
Kodak  Park  Band,  will  parade  about 
the  diamond,  and  then  line  up  in  front 
of  Fred  Brehm  for  one  of  his  famous 
Cirkut  pictures. 

After  that,  a  team  of  Company  officials 
will  take  the  field  while  the  first  ball  is 
pitched.  This  team  will  consist  of 
Messrs.  Folmer,  Haight,  Haste,  Havens, 
Higgins,  Lovejo3',  Riggs,  Robertson,  Rut- 
tan,  and  Wilcox. 

In  order  to  conclude  the  three  games 
on  one  diamond,  it  is  necessary  to  limit 
each  struggle  to  five  innings.  Hawk- 
Eye's  warriors,  runners-up  in  last  year's 
race,  will  start  it  off  against  Premo. 
The  second  game  of  the  afternoon  will 
bring  together  Kodak  Park  and  the  Main 
Office.  In  the  final  battle,  Folmer- 
Century's  sluggers  will  try  to  take  a  fall 
out  of  the  Champions  from  Camera 
Works. 

Arrangements  for  the  Opening  Day 
have  been  perfected  by  a  committee  of 
which  Wilbur  G.  Woodams,  Hawk-Eye, 
is  Chairman,  with  the  following  as 
representatives  of  the  other  branches: 
Frank  O.  Strowger,  Main  Office;  Arthur 
T.  Welles,  Kodak  Park;  John  S. 
McKenney,  Premo;  Clarence  H.  Harper, 
Folmer-Century;  and  Frefl  W.  Brehm, 
Camera  Works. 

As  last  year,  the  schedule  calls  for 
fifteen  games,  one  each  Saturday,  with  the 


finals  carded  for  September  11th.  A  copy 
of  this  schedule  will  be  found  on  the 
third  cover  of  this  Magazine. 

Four  new  managers  are  making  their 
debut  in  the  League  this  year.  Harold 
Bircher,  outfielder  of  repute,  will  hold 
the  helm  for  Kodak  Park,  and  it's  a  cinch 
the  Ridge  Road  outfit  doesn't  expect  to 
finish  in  the  cellar  again.  J.  T.  O'Neill 
is  slated  to  guide  the  Hawk-Eye  stars. 
At  Premo,  an  old-timer  at  the  game  will 
teach  the  young  idea  how  to  hit  and  field. 
The  South  Street  Manager  this  year  is 
William  LeBlanc,  who  gained  his 
experience  on  the  Mayflower  and  Camera 
Works  teams,  and  in  the  Catholic  League 
back  around  1900.  Main  Office  players 
will  take  orders  from  Gustav  Seyfried. 
Folmer-Century  and  Camera  Works  are 
quite  content  to  let  well  enough  alone, 
and  will  retain  Edward  Langham  and 
Lee  Yoder  as  their  respective  managers. 

Another  part  of  the  League's  activity 
this  year  is  the  organization  of  what  will 
be  known  as  The  Kodak  Team,  an  all-star 
outfit  picked  from  the  cream  of  the 
material  in  the  Company.  This  nine 
will  engage  local  and  out-of-town  indus- 
trial and  semi-pro  teams  on  Sundays  and 
holidays.  Harry  Murphy  will  utilize 
his  many  years  of  umpiring  experience  in 
selecting  and  managing  this  Kodak 
Team,  with  "Ed"  Goodridge  to  act  as 
Business  Manager. 

Admission  to  the  League  games  on 
Saturdays  will  be  free,  as  heretofore. 
An  admission  charge  will  be  made  for  the 
games  played  by  The  Kodak  Team. 

Election  of  officers  for  the  League 
has  resulted  in  the  choice  of  Harry  D. 
Haight,  Manager  of  Industrial  Relations, 
as  President ;  J.  T.  O'Neil,  Vice- 
President;  Glenn  C.  Morrow,  Secretary; 
Frank  O.  Strowger,  Treasurer,  and  Ed- 
ward F.  Goodridge,  Assistant  Treasurer. 

Come  around  on  Saturday;  see  three 
snappy  games,  and  help  the  boys  get  off 
to  a  good  start.

What  "KODAK  Means 

\S  a  word,  a  trade-name  "Kodak"  is  simply  an  arbitrary 
^/~\^  combination  of  letters.  It  is  not  derived  from  any 
other  word.  It  was  made  up  from  the  alphabet,  not  by 
lucky  chance,  but  as  the  result  of  a  diligent  search  for  a 
combination  of  letters  that  would  form  a  short,  crisp,  eu- 
phonious name  that  would  easily  dwell  in  the  public  mind. 


As  a  trade-mark,  "Kodak"  indi- 
cates certain  ot  the  products  ot  the 
Eastman  Kodak  Co.,  to  which  it  has 
been  applied,  as,  tor  instance,  Kodak 
Cameras,  Kodak  Tripods  and  Kodak 
Film  Tanks. 

As  an  institution,  "Kodak"  stands 
for  leadership  in  photography.  To 
the  world  at  large  it  is  best  known 
for  its  simplification  ot  photography 
tor  the  amateur,  for  its  Kodak  and 
Brownie  Cameras,  tor  its  films  and 
papers.  To  the  protessional  photog- 
rapher, it  is  known  tor  its  progressive 
leadership  in  the  manutacture  ot 
everything  that  is  used  in  the  studio. 
In  the  cinema  world  it  is  known  as 


the  producer  ot  the  film  that  made 
the  motion  picture  possible.  To  the 
army  and  navy,  it  is  best  known 
for  its  aerial  cameras  and  aerial 
lenses — the  latter  a  modification 
of  the  Kodak  Anastigmats.  To  the 
scientist,  it  is  known  tor  its  X-Ray 
products,  now  so  \  ital  in  the  mend- 
ing of  men,  and  tor  the  work  ot  its 
great  Research  Laboratory. 

In  1888,  when  the  two  "k's",  the 
"o",  the  "d"  and  the  "a"  were  eu- 
phoniously assembled,  they  meant 
nothing.  To-day  they  mean  protec- 
tion for  you  in  the  purchase  ot 
photographic  goods.
